    Bought this iPad Mini for 5 year old Kindergarten child to use for school work at home. He loves it and it is perfect for his size. Works great with the Osmo device used by the school. Very happy with this purchase.

    I've only ever had the first gen iPad which was a hammy down. This current iPad mini is responsive, lightweight and definitely is worth the price. I think my only complaint, even though I know it isn't really for taking photos I think there should be a flash on the back. Literally my only complaint. Mostly if I need to use it for a flashlight feature.

    Love love love the IPad! This model has not disappointed me. I like the mini as I can throw it in most bags/purses. Some of the updates have caused some quirky things to occur but other than that I’m satisfied.

    Finally an upgrade for the iPad Mini. This is a great device for road trips with the kids and perfect size for them. Finally, it doesn't feel like your stuck on a 5 year old device.

    The familiar 7.9-inch display feels perfectly sized to grip in one hand and operate with two, just as it did when the iPad mini 4 released nearly four years ago. Almost nothing has improved on the outside.

    The iPad Mini is the perfect size for reading books, playing games, and anything else you do that requires you to hold a device in one hand while using the other hand to operate it. I'm very glad Apple has continued to update the iPad Mini.

    I wish they would have come out with a new one this year to use with the new pen and processor but I guess I'll be waiting. I love these smaller size for my purse for traveling and taking notes.

    So lightweight and charges fast, makes it convenient to take anywhere. Good for browsing and checking out news and social media. Sound is loud and clear. Like the home button/fingerprint reader works super fast.

    I updated from an older iPad Mini and this new 5th Gen model is blazing fast, has outstanding screen clarity and color rendering. I also improved my storage capacity from 32GB to 64GB.

    I love the tablet itself. Super fast when connected to the internet. Only downfall (and it’s my own fault) is I didn’t get mobile with it like I had on my previous tablet. If I could do it again, I’d have it on it.

    I bought this mainly for media consumption. I tried to watch some Netflix only to realize it created black bars on the top and bottom of the video making the actual viewing field the exact same size as my Note 10+ phone. I think it has to do with the screen aspect ration of the device. This made it pointless to me so I returned it. The compact size was a big selling point and I would have been happy with it had it not been for the media issue.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I actually use the iPad mini as an electronic book-I am a Catholic priest and have digitized the majority of my service books and loaded them into Apple's Books app, although I could load them into the Kindle app as well. I also have a Bible app that I use on it. So, I haven't really used it to its full potential. I love the size, and all my text is still highly readable. My only beef is that it only works with the Gen 1 Apple Pencil.

    Perfect gift for my mother as she likes to read and watch content on a screen bigger than her iPhone but not as big as the iPad or iPad pro. Battery life is great and charging time isn't too bad. Screen resolution is great.

    I have had quite a few iPads, and I like this one best so far. You can take this one anywhere and it will fit in a hoodie pocket or even in the front pockets of some pants. Plus, this one supports Apple Pencil.

    The was a replacement of an older generation large IPad. My husband always preferred my mini IPad so when we upgraded he chose to mini. It's a great size and easy to handle. Would recommend.
