    I love my iPad Pro, but it is larger and heavier in my backpack when traveling. I got the mini to take on vacations where we are flying to save space and weight. It’s perfect for traveling.

    I'm getting older and so are my eyes. I struggled to read my kindle books on my iPhone 11 max. the apple iPad mini is small, light weight and perfect size to read my books without it being so heavy it was uncomfortable to hold.

    The Mini is a great e-reader, which also can easily be used as a larger tablet, as long as you are willing to use a smaller screen. Fast, easy to set up, apps all transferred from old mini overnight.

    This is exactly what we needed to replace our old ipad. A little smaller but so much faster, way more storage, and perfect for travel entertainment. The setup keeps getting easier and easier.

    Really love using this product. It is the perfect size for couch sitting or laying in bed. If you have an XS max, you may not find the display much bigger when watching Youtube video's, but for anything else, it is definitely a noticeable size increase. Some people don't like the bezels, but I actually do not mind them at all. They give you the perfect amount of space to hold onto the device. I highly highly recommend this device, especially if you use a XS (non max version) and want something a bit bigger for lounging around the house and travel.

    Recently upgraded from my old iPad mini. Although it's not a cellular version, like my mini, it is noticeably faster than my old one. Very easy to set up if you have your old one backed up to iCloud.

    iPad Mini 5 is a GREAT Update

    After using an iPad mini 4 for years, I decided to upgrade to the iPad Mini 5 (i.e. Latest Model) to take advantage of the faster processor AND most importantly Apple Pencil support. I use both an iPad Pro (10.5") and the new iPad Mini 5. So for me, there is no better combination as one Apple pencil works on both iPads. Performance is great. I would have welcomed a fresh design; however, I'm glad I don't need to go out and replace all of the accessories (i.e. Magnetic covers, 12 South Surface Pads, Apple Pencil) for this new model.
