    Love the high-speed. Love how compact it is yet the screen is just large enough! Couldn't be happier with something so useful and durable! Get the screen cover and a case and this bad boy is the best cheaper option that Apple offers in this quality.

    I own the iPad Mini 4 and it’s been amazing, however the Mini 5 is at least 50% better and worth it. The speed is super fast and it retains the same layout as before which just simply works. No issues thus and I highly recommend it!

    After a week I can say I’m thoroughly happy. I returned my new 10.5” iPad Air because I like the smaller size. I rarely use my computer now except for file storage and even here the cloud handles much of it. The battery life, brightness, responsiveness and Touch ID are good. I’d prefer facial recognition but other than that, it’s super.

    I bought this mini iPad to replace my older one. Its definitely faster but I wish it had a full screen without the home button like the iPad Pro I bought a few months ago. I couldn’t use the screen protectors from my previous model or case. It would be nice if you didn’t have to buy new everything each time they make minor changes.

    Purchase this product for my mother. She enjoys playing her games on it in bed before going to sleep mainly. She had two of the previous models and she likes the size and capabilities if needed. She also FaceTimes her friends and stays in contact with them through Facebook.

    I bought this for my wife for Christmas to replace her Kindle which she really liked but was having charging issues. She wanted the mini which, unfortunately, was about $150 more than the full size iPad with the same memory. That makes no sense! She loves it and that she can drop it in her purse to use when away from home.

    This is these old mini IPad that I buy from Best Buy. The first one I purchased was in 2016 and I’m only replacing it with the 5th generation because that one had seen its last day. It works just as fine and I still love the fact that it is compact yet not as small as the iPhone.

    I recently bought this for my mother in law who was still using a first generation iPad Mini. She absolutely loved the new product and gold color. This is much more powerful than she needs; however, it will last her for many years to come. She absolutely loves the ability to use the Apple Pencil (first generation) as well.
