    We needed a new iPad for the kids to play on ... the old one was OLD.... LOL, I looked online and found what we wanted, went down to the store, and got it the same day. Appreciate the help of the staff and they answered any questions I had as well. :)

    Great feel and access. Pretty fast for a handheld device. Apple thought about it before releasing. Plans to buy another one real soon.

    Big step up since the iPad Mini 2. Very impressed, but it still is missing some kind of update to make it different from the rest.

    I bought this for my grandma and she cannot put it down. Perfect for moms or grandmas that love tech. I was able to show her how to use it with ease. The design is light and fits in her hands. Perfect for reading and watching her movies on there as well.

    When I can get things set up, I think I will enjoy it. It was so easy to pick up curbside or I would not have ordered it. I love the color, rose gold! I’ve always shopped Best Buy for all my electronics and find they have the best products and prices.

    The employees were very helpful to me with making my decision on which iPad to purchase. They were very kind and worked very quickly to get me in and out in a reasonable time. The iPad is working great and I know I made a great decision.

    I debated whether to get this versus a Kindle, since I primarily wanted a reading device. While the Kindle excels as a reading device, having the option to run my favorite apps in a larger format than my iPhone ultimately led me to the iPad Mini. I’m happy with the choice!

    Bought this for my daughter. It has an option called guided access which allows my 1 year old to watch and press whatever buttons she likes and it won’t change or close the application. It’s a lifesaver for parents. Look it up on YouTube.

    I have multiple iPads in all sizes. This is my second mini. The clarity of the screen is outstanding. I’m an avid note taker and love my Apple Pencil. The mini is perfect for carrying around the office all day and keeping my notes electronically! Highly recommended.

    Upon unboxing this delightful piece of technology I swear I heard a bell ring and a flight of majestic eagles swooped above. I felt the power this aluminum case barely contained. 10/5 highly recommended.

    My husband lost his iPad Air so when he decided to get a new one he decided on the iPad Mini. It's easier for him to carry when we travel, doesn't take up as much space,and he can read his books and watch his movies nicely even though the screen is a bit smaller.

    IPAD Mini 5th generation tablet with WiFi is a good tablet and my son enjoys it along with us adults. I especially like the smaller size, except when watching movies etc. The features are awesome too and the choices of App's is great.
