    I bought this to fly my Mavic 2 Pro. Screen size, retina display with the A12 bionic chip makes it the perfect choice for me with the drone. Bigger screen than a phone but not the bulk of a full size tablet. The built in screen recorder is a bonus. I got the cellular version only for the GPS. I do not have a sim card or cell service for it and the GPS works great when flying the drone. I can not tell you how it works as a daily tablet but if you're looking to pair this with your Mavic Pro/Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom, It works great.

    I wanted to update from my MINI 2 that was only wifi. This new MINI 5 has performed well so far with the cellular connection. you will immediately notice its much lighter but be warned the thinness comes at a price, its very bendable so be sure to get a solid case. I was able to use my extra mini 2 screen protector instead of buying a new one, the Mini 5 is only about 1mm taller. Good buy overall

    Full iPad Function without Full Size

    I bought this to replace an older iPad and it didn't disappoint. Better performance and display than my older iPad, but small enough for my wife to carry in her purse. Very useful for someone that doesn't carry around a large smartphone already. Cellular function works well to have full access to network anywhere.

    Very cool ipad I bought this for my son, I was hesitant because I have an iPad Pro, and I felt it was going to lack in quality in comparison, but not at all! It’s fast and perfect for gaming for him, graphics a beautiful, screen is beautiful the only difference is it does not have pro motion… But he doesn’t need it.

    Bought this iPad for my wife, she loves it! Perfect size for her at home or on the go, get big enough to enjoy a video as it’s much larger than a phone screen. VERY FAST VERY SNAPPY! Even though it’s small, it’s much more powerful than our older iPad Pro. Great quality overall.

    It definitely replaces my iPhone X. I like it so much. Everything is smooth and fast. It’s the best portable tablet in the market. I’d recommend the cellular model cause the portability.

    This replacement for my original iPad Mini with 16 GB was an excellent choice. It is very fast and easy to use. The gold is very attractive. The original iPad mini was purchased in 2015, so I expect to use this one for 3 or 4 years.

    I was waiting for the launch of iPad mini but it is more of the same, it is an overvalued product, the front camera and the back camera don't have good resolution, I expected something better for the high price.
