    Perfect for what we needed! Small size doesn’t take away from the reliably of the device!

    Great iPad! I bought this iPad, because my old iPad mini’s battery life was getting diminished. I really liked my iPad mini, so I bought another one to replace it. My new generation 5 iPad has new features that my old iPad didn’t have, like finger print scan for added security plus other stuff that the older generation iPads don’t have. The generation 5 iPad mini is also compatible with Apple Pencil.

    I got this so my 11 year old could do school work turns out the school district does everything on Microsoft platform so now the tablet is used to me and some mild gaming. I love it but I do wish it could be used for school stuff too (without having to buy ad-one.
