    Love the iPad mini size and layout. Don't mind the bezels on top and bottom as I like to read with this device. Would like face id included in future versions. This version is much faster than the older model

    I love the size and convenience of this device! I’m a beginner photographer and use the Mini to edit pics on the go. I can just slide it in my camera bag or pocket.

    My Bride loved her iPad, but it was heavier than she liked. The mini offers her an opportunity to utilize the iPad more often and she likes that quite a bit.

    I knew I would like this tablet, but I didn't anticipate how much I would love it. This tablet has gone far beyond my expectations and has proceeded to be used for both my school work and as a personal tablet.

    Excellent tablet with the special care that Apple builds its products. Adding this to my home theater system as a center for apps controlling my Denon receiver and others.

    I have an old iPad mini with very little memory left. After struggling with what I should dump to have more apps added I opted for more memory. My old iPad is now my Bluetooth music player.

    A good technology investment. For a last generation device it continues to hold its own against comparable devices. Bought for my wife to use as an extension for her iPhone 12 Pro.

    I don’t know if this is true, but for me who owned an iPad Mini years ago, this new iPad mini looks smaller. But maybe it’s perception. Overall, this iPad works smoothly and fast.

    I like the screen quality and the performance was very smooth when compared to my older tablet. The problem is IPAD OS doesn't have an option to adjust the scale of the Operating System. So some buttons and menus are too small on this tablet. I was surprised this was missing because Android and Windows allow you to do this.
