Customer Ratings & Reviews

The iPad Mini is a great addition to apple line of products. This tablet provides ease of you with its portable size and design. This device can easily be used by a family of all ages. The built-in camera takes very good pictures and the front facing camera is great for video chat! This device is also great for streaming homemade videos and photos taken on the iPad with the Apple TV product. Siri the built in virtual assistant makes pretty much every task a breeze like sending emails, iMessages, setting reminders and calendar invites! I would definitely recommend theiPad Mini to parents, students, and individuals of all ages!

I downsized my iPad 4 when the mini came out with retina display. The images are sharp and bright. I was looking for something easier to hold and easier to put in my purse without putting a lot of strain on my neck and shoulder. The mini is, of course, lighter. I didn't downsize with the first mini because of the retina display. I am very happy with the weight, look, and speed performance of this device. Strongly recommend to anyone sitting on the fence about purchase. It's as sharp as my full size iPad 4 was.

I purchased the full size iPad 3 last year and love it, but this iPad mini with retina display is so much more convenient...I just grab and go. I carry it with me everywhere. The display and speaker sound is great and the battery lasts 10 hours for me. Just make sure the case you buy for it says 'iPad mini w/retina display' or it won't fit as this mini is a tad thicker than the regular mini.

Purchased a 64GB iPad mini with retina screen to upgrade my wife's original mini which had been slowing down under iOS 8. After I saw Apple introduce only minor improvements in the iPad mini 3 I rushed to BB to find this model on a deep discount. We've been very happy with it. Much faster than original mini and the screen looks great. Perfect size for my wife and I don't mind using it either. We are an Apple family and this new mini fills all our needs. Very happy with it and would strongly recommend this model, especially if you can find a left over iPad mini with retina display (now called iPad mini 2) at a good price.

I have used most tablets this size and yes this wins hands down. The fire, galaxy, nook, google, all are ok but this is just in a league of its own. It's basically an oversized iPhone and perfect size. The iPad Air to me is too big, so this is the perfect size. The official apple case although expensive too, is the best case for it as well. I waited out a year and skipped the first mini because of no retina display, it was def worth he wait. Such a huge difference from the regular non retina to this. It's pricier than other tablets at this size, but you get what you pay for. I got he 64GB non cellular and just tether it with my cell phones internet when I need it online. No need to pay an extra $130 for that cellular antenna.

I thought long and hard to decide between the iPad Air or the iPad Mini with Retina display. I'm very happy with my selection. I opted for more storage and the smaller form factor as the best balance between price and function. The display is beautiful and razor sharp. For my needs the difference in screen size was not a great concern. I've been very happy with the choice. No regrets.

I waited an extra year for the Ipad Mini to be released with retina display - well worth the wait. The Mini has all the features of my full-size Ipad but it fits more easily into my purse for portabiity. I also own an Ipod Touch, but of the three products, my new mini is now my first go-to tablet. Performance is excellent, battery life is good -- another great Apple product.

I like this iPad in particular due to the fact of its size and portability. The iPad Mini retina display is simply amazing. Also, the upgraded processor makes it a super capable tablet that will run any sort of app smoothly, just like the iPad Air. If you are the kind of person who is always on the move for work this is the tablet for you.

Great value. The new mini 3 adds only a finger print sensor, and another color option. Not worth a hundred dollars more then the mini 2. Use that hundred for more GB. The size is great, plenty big still for surfing web playing games and watching movies, plus now i can touch anywhere on the screen still while holding it with my hands on each side, I can reach any part of the screen with my left or right thumb with out having to let go of one side or the other, this makes using it while laying back in bed a pleasure. No more holding with one hand while tapping with my finger on the other hand. This becomes magnified even more when playing games. Some games I would have to play on a table to be able to competitively hit all the buttons(virtual) or whatever was required for the game. Not anymore, perfect size for gaming. I have had the ipad 2 and 4, this mini 2 is my favorite by far.

I traded in my iPad mini (1st generation) for this and boy was it totally worth it. Not only does this new iPad mini retain the things I liked from the old iPad mini (such as the form factor and weight), but it greatly improves on the things that I didn't like about the old iPad mini (such as the slow speed and okay resolution). This new iPad mini simply fills in the gaps of what I didn't like about the old iPad mini. The price is a bit high, I admit, but is totally worth it when you consider things in the long run. The product support from Apple is second to none and the App Store blows other app stores out of the water. Also consider the App Store provides a quality Free App every week and you easily find other daily free apps using a free app a day app. Not only that, the build quality on this thing tells you it can last as long as you want it to. This new iPad mini is simply perfect in every way

My purchase of the iPad mini with Retina display was purely amazing while all other retailers in town and out were out of stock. When I walked in with a semi down look on my face feeling like an idiot asking for the impossible I was asked what size for storage and what color I would like because they had pretty much all of them in stock. I went with the 64GB and its a good sizing for watching HD movies and having some games. I ended up buying and Xbox One and a PS4 from Best Buy as a result of my one time shopping experience and instead of expecting rejection I've learned that while not typically the most cost effective shopping experience that with these price locked items I was able to just walk in and go home with gear in hand. It has given me higher expectations for Best Buy. The is supposed to be a product review so sorry for the derail. The product is awesome and I have zero regrets.

Got to love an easy to cary version of the iPad. Great battery life, awesome display, and the operating system that we all know. It good for anyone that needs to email and browse the net too.

I have owned three samsung tablets and this is my third Apple tablet. I had a iPad 3 which I gave to a school teacher. I have a iPad four which was given to me by work to process projects. I bought this as soon as it was available and put it in a Griffin Camo Survival case until Lifeproof comes out with their case. I also own the Logitech slim Bluetooth keyboard and a Ecorox speaker. All of this together makes for a portable entertainment and productivity system beyond compare. I have magazines, books, books on tape, tv shows, music, movies, diet planner, and productivity apps and all of the Apple apps. This is a fine product with fast speed and a beautiful screen. You can't go wrong.

The size is perfect for travel and ease of use. It's lightweight. The battery lasts for a very long time. This is the ultimate device. I also own a kindle fire and a nook and they don't compare.

Great all around tablet. Size is perfect. Screen is great. Battery life is good as always. Not sure how Apple fit all this in such a small package. KUDOS Apple!!!

iPad Mini w/ Retina Display, WiFi and 64GB with a MiFi goes everywhere with me, and allows me to be constantly connected & highly productive. It's dimensions are perfect for portability. Easy to unabtrusively bring to meetings, pack back and forth from home to office or for carry-on air travel. Read, watch, write, talk, map, photo, video, videoconference. Pleasantly surprised battery life runs a few days. Bought both ZAGG keyboard case which is great and Otter Box case with snap on screen hard cover. Heavily use the Otter Box. Wonderful device.

The mini iPad is just what I was looking for! The screen size is the perfect size especially. I already have a Macbook laptop and did not want a standard sized iPad. The min allows me to do all the same stuff as the regular one I assume and I love how easy it is to carry around. It is small enough to fit in my backpack and even my purse when I am on the move. I would definitely this make purchase again if I had to re-do it.

i already own an iPad mini with retina display,,but when I saw best buy had one with 64gb for $395, I couldn't resist buying a second one. I love this ipad. I also own an IPad 3 which is the larger version but the mini is perfect for me. I never have to be without my mini when it is charging now that I have a second one. Best Buy was great to deal with. They said it would arrive in about 10 days. It came in 2 days which was a pleasant surprise.

I bought it so I could take games and other media off my iphone to free up space. I have 5 full-length disney movies in HD, and more games than I can count on this ipad. I also have a bunch of apps for school as well as the more typical apps like facebook, email, calendar. I love it, the battery lasts all day, and I use it constantly. Sound and video quality are amazing. I love it! The best part is, it is the perfect size to put in my purse!

I had first debated between the iPad mini and the iPad Air but ultimately decided on the mini. It was cheaper and it's perfect size for me. I bring it almost everywhere and can throw it right in my purse and it's lightweight so it doent make my purse to heavy either. If you have the iphone then they can link together as well. It's also great size for little hands if you have kids.
