    This replaced a 3-4 year old Mini 4 that was having battery issues. The new Mini 5 has an improved directly-laminated screen that looks great, and a battery that lasts all day. Very happy with it!

    it’s been 5 years since my last iPad purchase and I got to say I’ve been really happy with this new iPad. The battery life is great and it is much faster than my previous one.

    I never have anything negative to say about Apple products. The mini is the perfect size to take with in a small purse wherever I go. It’s light weight and really gets the job done. Love it!

    As good as it gets. As always Apple does not disappoint. The compact size makes this thing a dream for daily use. The battery capacity is more than I need for any single day of use.

    Overall pleased with iPad. I think this size is more useable than a full sized tablet and certainly a 2 in 1 laptop. This is the size that you can easily hold but has a better screen than a mobile phone. I’m a little unsatisfied with the battery life which I hoped would be more. The screen smears with oils easily. It has a sharp picture and good sound. Overall, works well.

    Best little tablet out there

    It's an iPad. Best tablet out there but wish they would upgrade a few features , like USB-C, get 5G in the cellular model, better mouse pointer than that big circle, face id, but it is still the best out there. They will probably put that in their next one. I like the compact size of the mini because you can type while holding it with two hands which is a stretch with the larger one. Shop around at Best Buy. They have it on sale often. Got the best price at Best Buy compared to anywhere.

    What can you say it is an Apple mini i-pad ... however it is so compact and easy to take on trips with a great camera and can be used for all the apps as well as watching videos and reading books etc.

    I bought this mini iPad specifically for traveling so I can carry it in my pocketbook, where as my larger ones would not fit. It’s compact, and easy to operate. I love my iPads.

    This is a great iPad for surfing/reading and even typing into documents. If you don’t need the high end camera that the Pro offers and want something easy to hold, this is it.
