    Great gift for a 9 year old, easy to use for all his school apps. I can place parental codes and timers so he can focus when he needs. Great graphics.

    This mini iPad was birthday gift for my grandchild and came at perfect time when schools closed for COVID19 and she started Zoom classes at home. It is easy to use and has many good features.

    I love my iPad Mini! Just the right size for my use. Be very careful with it though. My 3 year old granddaughter dropped it and cracked the screen. Thank goodness I bought the insurance!!

    I'm not a big fan of larger ipads. This particular device can be carried around with no issues. I take it on flights, meetings, vacations. Well worth the price.

    Nice tablet. Easy to set up like all apple products. I got it to use with my drone as the screen on my phone was just too small. Perfect size for what I wanted it for.

    If you want a solid media device that can fit in your pocket, then look no further. This little device is powerful. Don't let the dated design fool you, the iPad mini is a wonderful piece of equipment.

    I bought this for my 12 yr old daughter. After using an Amazon fire for the last two years I felt she was ready for the real thing. No comparison to the quality and feature of an iPad.

    Needed a new iPad for school. Always had a normal sized iPad and thought I would try the mini. It’s the perfect size to take to class and take notes with. Apple never disappoints.
