Bought to run Foreflight. It's a good upgrade from the mini 4. Good battery life, fast loading, no overheating yet.

I love this Ipad! The colors are so vibrant, the battery lasts so long and I really enjoy using my Apple pencil to write text messages to folks, doodle or whatever! I carry it with me almost everywhere and it's great for listening to my audiobooks! I wish they would make the 128gb size since 256gb is overkill for my needs but I wouldn't be without it. I have small hands and it fits them perfectly plus you can simply carry it in your purse. Don't hesitate! This one rocks!!!

I'm the owner of 2 iPad Pro's: a 10.5 and a 12.9. Magnificent work devices, truly the wave of the productive future. However... hold one of these beasts up to read in bed... for an hour... or two. Eventually, no matter your love, your wrist gives out, your fingers tire.
And so—to the rescue—my iPad mini 5. Fast, wickedly light, portable. Perfect to read with. Perfect to carry in a pocket.
If you CREATE content, yes, go for an iPad Pro. However if you CONSUME content, the iPad Mini is the quintessential balance of size and portability.
If you're interested in one, just get it. Even if it's your third iPad...
You won't regret it.

The mini is so underrated and looked over. It's small, light, but fast and functional. Much easier to toss in a bag then the full size, much less the iPoster. Too many ways to use this smaller iPad to list.

This is my second mini Ipad. The Cellular option is so convenient when the phone is not close by. The handy size of the mini is perfect to carry with me in my purse and is always on hand to snap a quick photo or check out various stores when looking for an item needed. Having 256 GM storage allows to keep duplicate files of my computer available wherever I am. Could not be without it.

This 5th generation mini pad is noticeably faster than my older model 3. It works very well with long battery life. Best Buy even gave me a reasonable trade in $ for my old iPad. I am very glad with the purchase....and it was cheaper than purchasing on amazon!

I purchased this as a gift for my mom. She is enjoying her mini iPad. She carries it everywhere. She loves that it's small and light enough to carry in her purse. She loves adding apps and playing her favorite games. I recently downloaded a coloring book app and she is having the time of her life coloring pictures.

I love the size of the iPad Mini.. I was losing hope that it’d ever get an update! While it wasn’t the full update I was hoping for (doesn’t have Face ID, not compatible with the new Apple Pencil).. it does have a much quicker processor. I was getting somewhat tired of the sluggishness of my iPad Mini 4, so it’s definitely nice to have a snappy Mini again!

I love it! It’s so fast and nimble with enough memory to save my pictures, music and movies. I got service on it and bring it anywhere. It’s like having a very thin computer/entertainment device/productivity device.

Decided to buy a mini with large memory and cell service as my go to device for browsing and downloading needs. I was tired of using my phone for everything. This mini is great. Nice screen, big enough to enjoy movies, browse and shop, etc. No complaints.

I have had three sizes of iPad and this one is my favorite. I haven’t hooked up the cellular yet but it is good value for what it is. I would say think about how you will use it before choosing a size but for me I travel with it every where so size is important to me.

So happy with my new iPad. I upgraded from a 2nd gen mini that I’ve had for almost 10 years. The mini 5 is so much faster and the battery lasts longer than I expected. Still figuring out all the features that are new to me.

I recently purchased this a few months ago and absolutely love it. I replaced it with my computer and use it for work (almost 8 hours on it). The battery life is wonderful and a prefect size to carry in your bag.

Lost my old one... (To a 2 year old)

So figured my old mini was safe.. Nope, 2 year old got it to watch his muppet babies and puppy dog pals while on road trips. Purchased this one to obviously replace that one. Works great! Now i can use the apple pencil with it and store more stuff on it. However, storage is really not a concern for me 128gb was fine, but now you have only 64gb and 256 as an option so i opted for the larger of the two.. nice to have the storage and not need it then to need it and not have it. Great little iPad. the gold is more like Rosegold if you ask me.. When compared to my other iPads the gold is noticeably darker. Over all not a biggie.. It has a back cover on it anyhow so its not like it is shining through.
