    I like everything about the iPad mini but I feel apple is staying behind with the camera, although it takes good pictures, my galaxy device takes the best pictures. I also don't like not being able to add external memory card so I'm locked to about 13gb available free space

    I have change my ipad mini with retina display three times in less than six months (the same model). I never knew what the problem was, but after a month that I had each one of them, the same thing started to happen: it started to freeze and didn't worked properly, the screen turned black and couldn't respond. I really can't understand what happend with my previous two ipads, but the good thing is that Best Buy exchange them each time for a new one.

    I had bought another popular tablet because of advertised capabilities that was on an Android OS. However, the lack of compatability with the iPhone became more important to me, so I returned it. After owning the iPad Mini for a couple of weeks, I realized how much I liked the stylus feature on the other tablet. I did buy one that is compatible with the IPad/iPhone, but there is no comparison between them.

    I previously owned an 8gb iPad 2 from a few years back. Wanting something smaller and lighter on the scale, but has more storage capacity. Got the white iPad mini with retina display 128 GB. Great decision! In love with it each and every day I'm using it.

    I purchased this tablet, but returned it because I was on the fence of this one and the mini 3. No problems with this tablet and no problems with the exchange.
