    I replaced my iPad mini that I received as a gift about 7 years ago with exactly the same mini because I like it so much. Ease of use, versatility and portable for travel.

    I’m an apple guy and have always liked their stuff. I wanted the mini because it is so easy to carry around. I can put it in my back pocket or wherever.

    I bought this iPad for my business and it works perfectly. I use it for home inspections. I would however recommend getting a cover with a “handle” on it for ease of use.

    Privacy = Apple

    Only reason I bought this over all the other tablets is because Apple is now pushing updates that are focused on privacy. I hope Apple creates its new privacy search engine to get people off google. It would be even better if Apple created a new private “Facebook” type application and put Facebook under. I cannot stand google or Facebook constantly monitoring and listening. It’s creepy enough talking about something then going online and the ads are everywhere for it. No thanks, using FB messenger and then FB displays those ads on my home page. Thank you apple for privacy!

    I bought this for my son for Christmas. I worried about the memory size and the fact this is a mini. It does the trick. Great size and adequate memory space.
