    I cannot believe how this NEW iPad has to be charged all the time. It’s almost like you can see the battery icon going down as you watch it.

    The new one was just announced and no one both at online support or at your store will approved of a refund or exchange for pre-ordering the newest model. This has been the worst experience to try and purchase something new and then within less than a month a newer model comes out and I won't be able to even exchange it without getting the trade in value versus what I paid. I've already let all my friends know how Best Buy treats it's customers in the most obvious situations where the experience could have been much easier and better.

    I am not sure what it is with this generation of Ipad but I have had to replace it 4-5 times since August. I've done it so many times I can't keep track. It will randomly stop charging. It not the power cord or the wall plug since they will work for other products including my Iphone. I previously had a second generation Ipad that I had for close to 5 years before it finally died. I never had any problems with it. Now all of a sudden I am constantly replacing this. I recommend looking into a different product.

    iPad keeps shutting down. Took it to Best Buy for geek squad to diagnose problem twice. They sent us to the Apple store in North Lake Mall today. Apple store employee replaced iOS and problem still occurs. Neither Best Buy or Apple store had a replacement iPad in stock so the Apple store today ordered one. Just have to wait for item to come in and travel back to mall to pick up. This is my third iPad as they only last a few years.

    I liked my older IPad mini better. I don’t like how new iPads don’t have the home button anymore. It seems more difficult use.

    I have owned the new generation mini for just 8 weeks. I bought it to replace a four year old tablet, just for recreation use--surfing the web, and media. It cannot do either efficiently--my old tablet surfs faster. Anytime I am using the web I wait while the circle spins endlessly--this has been a huge disappointment and I would return this if I was still in the return window due to how utterly slow it is.

    Crashed beyond restoration on the day of purchase. Seriously Apple? After several hours on the phone with Apple support I have to wait for Apple to send me a box to send it in for repairs. This after I paid full retail price for brand new. Hope they don't try to pass a refurb off on me. Apple quality is not what it used to be.
