    64 GB is an absurdly tiny amount of storage in 2020.

    What I was hoping for

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My iPad mini 4 lasted 1 year and 3 months, so a little nervous. However, I admit this is a huge upgrade from the older mini. Very fast. Pros: 1. Very fast 2. Great size 3. Apple pencil support. I won't use this as it is way too expensive 4. Can use my current screen protectors and case. Had to drill a small hole for the mic Neutral: 1. Screen is just okay. 2. Stying is good but dated 3. Truetone. IMO it just makes the screen look yellow, but it can be turned off. 4. Price is not good nor is it bad. Cons: 1. Still wishing for storage expandability 2. No ProMotion 120hz screen 3. Seems to take longer to charge 4. Apple has begun censoring some apps and podcasts.

    Nice little ipad that is still used to this day!

    I love this style of ipad with the white bezel. Apple unfortunately does not make this style anymore, all their bezels are black now. Thats one of the reasons i havent upgraded, as well as the home button. I mostly use this now to play roblox with my niece when she comes over, which it does well. If Apple ever does decide to bring back the white bezels, you can be sure ill upgrade then!

    The iPad mini was the best gift I could’ve ever given myself. It has all the features of a regular iPad, yet smaller. I love the size and ease of use. I bought it primarily for reading and listening to books. Yet I also can check my emails.
