    I got this because viewing any website on my phone is just annoying, but the regular iPad is too big for me to carry around everywhere. The iPad mini is a great in-between size. I love how light and compact it is, but it's large enough for viewing webpages without having to constantly scroll. Loading of apps is fast, and download times are really quick. Overall very satisfied!

    I also have an iPhone and the iPad mini synced to it during the initial set up. You still have to fiddle with the settings in order to get all the items (Gmail, iCloud, etc.) but that’s easy to see and figure out. The device is nice and thin, easy to use, and has super optics. I only got the WiFi model since I can use my iPhone as an access point if necessary.

    Having used iPad mini with only 16GB for years, I was considering upgrading to a larger iPad with greater capacity. I also wanted to experiment with the Apple Pencil. What great news when this 2018 mini came out! This 64GB model is filling my needs, I can still hold it in one hand, and carry it in my purse.

    This mini is a replacement for one that was, unfortunately, dropped and damaged. The upgrade in speed was well worth the money (caught it on sale), and the display is great. Also a lot more storage than the previous model. Recommend the AppleCare+ because it covers accidental damage at a very reduced rate.

    I mean what can I say it’s a Apple product. It’s wonderful. I picked a mini because I wanted something that would be easy to throw in my bag for travel. I easily downloaded all of my apps from the iCloud. It has apple wallets so I can use my Apple Pay. If ur a iPhone user then it’s a great addition.

    The iPad mini is a treasure. Well designed, efficient, easy to learn. For travel needs (such a small footprint) it is a big step up from a smartphone. Coupled with a Bluetooth mini keyboard, it is all I need for short, on the road times.

    Great little device. Perfect for my wife because it fits in her bag. Much more convenient and lighter than a full size iPad. Yes, I wish it was $299 instead of $399, but still a very good item. Also, it should come standard with 128GB of memory, not 64GB. No excuse anymore for Apple and the low memory.

    I recently bought this tablet for my brother and he absolutely loved it. It has the A12 Bionic chip which makes it powerful. My brother said it is the perfect size for his video games and highly recommends it for people looking for a powerful but small tablet at an affordable price range.

    The iPad Mini 5 is an all around great tablet. Perfect size for videos, surfing the web, reading, and note taking. The display is crisp and the processor is very fast. Would highly recommend. I also got it on sale when Best Buy did a $50 off promo (they did a price adjustment the week after I bought it), which makes me appreciate it even more!

    I purchase this as an upgrade to an original iPad mini and it has worked great. It was very easy to transfer all of my information from one tablet to the other. I'm extremely happy with this and like the amount of space it has the speed that it runs and everything that I can do.

    I love this iPad! We had leapsters for our kids and they sucked. Purchased this for a 2nd iPad mini and now both of our kids just use minis. It is fast and you can use a 1st gen apple pencil with it too! highly recommend for kids or anyone who loves a smaller iPad.

    Love it so far. I purchased this in 2019 and returned it during the holiday return period. I had changed my mind and ended up purchasing a android tablet. Started hearing the rumors about a new iPad Mini and decided to wait until that came out. Was hoping that it was going to be introduced at the last Apple Show, but it wasn't, so I decided to purchase it. I use to own a iPhone so I was glad to see that all of my contacts, pictures etc were still there. I'm still learning all that it can do. Since I have a android phone, I'm able to connect them both through my Microsoft and Google accounts. I've done a lot of reading on it. Love the extra room to read. I haven't decided if I'm going to upgrade to the new Ipad Mini. That's if it ever comes out. My iPad Mini just got updated to IOS 14, so I might just keep it. I haven't purchased the Apple Pencil yet. Not sure if I'm going to start taking notes on it. I'm still deciding. I'm glad I made the purchase. Once I've figured out how everything works, I'll be good to go. :-)

    I am excited that Apple has finally updated the iPad mini. I have had both a regular iPad and a mini. I personally love the mini because it is so easy to stick in my purse when I go somewhere. Bigger is not always better and I have always liked the size. The colors are so vibrant to me.
