    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.

    Exactly what I was looking for. I have a wifi only iPad, but wanted one I could use when out of range of wifi. Chose mini size as I feel it'll take up less space when transporting it, yet be sufficient to provide an adequate screen size for viewing. Honestly first Apple product I've bought in 2+ decades that wasn't on sale, and forgot to ask for price check, but covid situation and physical handicap compelled me to make my store visit as short as possible. Bought unlocked model as Best Buy does not offer US Cellular. Only disappointment so far is with new Apple(?) policy that reward points earned on Apple purchases may only be used for Apple products and not accrue as BB reward points.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    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

    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 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.
