This purchase was a long way into internet reviews and tech sites about the iPad, I’m an android/Windows/Linux person, and I’ve always thought that Apple products are way overpriced, but I decided to purchase this tablet for a set of reasons, being the most important the constant software (OS) updates, which is a very hard thing to keep up in the android side (unless there’s a custom rom that is being supported on a particular device, the screen looks amazing (in comparison with all the devices I’ve had), and it is pretty fast for a tablet in this price range. It’s battery is amazing if you don’t max out screen brightness
The only drawback perhaps is the ‘’dated’’ design.

Wow, this iPad mini is fast and furious. It replaces my iPad mini 1st generation. The size is just right to carry in my purse. I purchased a Zagg keyboard to use it as a personal computer. I also read books on it and the cameras can used to take glorious pictures and videos. I can also use my Apple pen with it. Apple outdid themselves with this model. Keyboard sold separated by Zagg.

I bought this for Wife’s birthday, unsure how she’d take to it. I was tempted to save money on gen 4 or 3, but am glad I future-proofed with this new gen 5 model. The A12 Bionic chip is super-fast and apps open instantaneously. She uses it way more than expected and tells me almost daily how much she loves it (and coconut case) even a month later.

I loved every bit of this iPad. It’s so easy for my grandma to control and it’s not too big so it creates more space for us!

This was my first apple product and I must say I am really impressed with this item so far it allows me to be able to be in contact with husband other than by our phones, and I use it for my cricut design space, and to read my bible on with app. It is big enough to love it and small enough to carry in any purse from my vera bradley crossbody bag to my large bags it fit conveniently in my side pocket and doesn't add any extra noticable weight. I really love this gift my husband got for me to feel in the loop with my boys and him.

With the update to the processor and the addition of being compatible with the Apple pencil, I find that the Mini is my goto for on the go situations. I use my iPhone for quick use situations and the Mini for medium to long use situations. I also have a 12.9 iPad Pro, but it now mainly stays at home.

I love this iPad (mini) I got it for my 2 year old daughter and she loves it and won’t leave the house without it. It’s so fast and sufficient literally way better then the android tablets that just stop working after about 3 months (Smh) matter fact I shouldn’t even compare the 2 lol so basically this iPad is the best.

I've had the iPad Mini 4, for the last 4 years and it was flawless, still is. Couldn't resist an even better ipad and went for it. No regrets over here. Super fast and of course the same fantastic quality of apple.

It's a beautiful tablet, the colors are vibrant. It's the perfect size if you're iffy about buying the large iPad. To me that one was too big, especially since 3 yr old tiny hands would be using it too.

This is my 1st Ipad. I was looking for a way to be able to keep all my itunes music and videos on I had on old ipod classic. The ipad works well for music/videos, plus any games that I play , and for checking things out on the internet.

I had been eyeing this iPad for years so when it finally went on sale, I bit the bullet. I love the size which is great for reading during my daily work commutes, perfect for watching videos without getting hand/wrist fatigue, and fun for the cat for play with. Overall, this was an amazing purchase.

I purchased the iPad mini back in late February after debating on it. I can honestly say I can barely put the thing down. It is so convenient and I enjoy facetiming my friends and watching movies, and even doing some schoolwork. I also purchased the apple pencil with it but barely use it. I went on Amazon and bought this really nice purple decorated cover for it.
Overall, this was an excellent purchase! =)
