    Love this iPad. It’s small so it fits it most of my purses I take it on the road and use it for most things I use my phone with Most apps are outdated since it’s not on most recent iOS but I’m able to download most older verisons if they are on my phone already

    Very slow device, don’t spend the money even if you think it may be for a little one. Many apps have to load an older version.

    The minis only update to a certain point and after that it stops updating. So any new apps are no longer supported. I would not have purchased if I read into this more. One star because it’s compact and easy to carry around. That’s about it.

    Purchased right before Apple made it a brick. Can't download any app updates. Writing this review while purchasing a new iPad that will work until Apple says NO MORE, BUY ANOTHER.
