    My grandson, who is special needs, is benefiting from the Ipod mini. It lightens up his day and he's a wizard on it! When his old one broke he got so upset. He even facetimed his sister in college and asked her to please fix it. Great product!

    We purchased this for my 8 year old daughter as a birthday gift and couldn’t be happier. It’s the perfect size for her and does everything she needs. Educational games, movie streaming, taking videos and photos, etc. No complaints!

    Light, easy, good to use. Kids love it for catching Pokemon. Adults love it for reading ebooks and watching films while waiting to pick up kids.

    It's a mini iPad. Nothing special. No complaint either. I already have a iPad air. Decided to get another one, so my kids don't fight over and it will be easier for them to study. Since most of their class now are via zoom meeting.

    Works great, but looks outdated

    This iPad mini is using an outdated exterior design with a 2 generation old processor which is still very useable. Get this iPad if you value the small form factor over all. This device can fit in some peoples pants pocket but keep in mind the processor is behind and I'm pretty sure Apple will update this soon. FaceID is a faster more secure security option and the bezels make this look really old but I love mine none the less. I mostly web surf, take calls, read emails+news, and watch YT on it and it does this all very well. They improved the screen res from the mini 4 so it gets bright enough and has enough density that you don't see the individual pixels. I'd like to rate it 4.5 stars only because at $400 list it should look like the air at least.

    I just purchased my 3rd IPad and I love it. I use it for work as well as personal use. It's easy to take with me on my business trips. I also love the Gold that it comes in now compared to the silver. I highly recommend this product.

    Makes my 3rd iPad mini. It is perfect for kids. Price is not too bad either. I always buy tempered glass to go on top of it as well. Never had the iPad break, even with small children using them.

    I was going on vacation and really wasn't in the mood to deal with my full size IPAD and my Apple phone was just to small for my constant use. It was time for an Apple IPAD Mini. It's just the right size to take traveling. I highly recommend it!

    I bought for my 7 years old son. It's helpful for school class, break time and more. It's good to use separate tablets function. It is good to be able to manage children's programs such as YouTube separately.

    I wanted a smaller tablet but still all of Apple’s functionality and this is it. Small enough to handle easily but still all the capability of the bigger Apple iPads. Works perfect for all my needs and it’s an Apple.

    This was a gift to my wife who loves her iPad mini

    My wife owned a previous model which unfortunately continually deteriorated as to speed and connectivity, but since I know she loved it, I bought her the newest model for her birthday. To my relief, she is quite happy with its performance. She's only had one complaint, that Siri is not as responsive as she was before with the older model. Not sure why that is, or even if that's still the case, but I do think she's not talking to her mini as much as before. Otherwise she is delighted with her mini.

    We use this tablet at our business to connect to the Square reader. It works great. Is way faster in speed than our old cheaper Android tablet. It wasn’t cheap but adds professionalism to our customer service. Thank you!

    Ordered for myself, specifically because I wanted an iPad to use with an Apple Pencil, but didn’t want to go out and buy the super expensive, newer models. Came fast, works great; great purchase
