Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a 53 year young woman that decided to go to London and Paris for 2 weeks on my on. So I was planning a trip I had planned on taking my Mac Book Pro. But as the day of the trip got closer I was getting nervous about lugging my laptop around. So last minute I picked up a IPad Mini 3 Wifi. Thank goodness because this was my life saver. I was traveling by myself so did not have that companion to help navigate. What became my companion was my IPad mini. As I navigated around London I was getting easily lost. Trying to read the maps or tube station on my iphone was not working. So I would find a Starbucks with wifi pop in and open up my IPad figure out where I was at and figure out where I had to go. This is how it went for the next two weeks. I never let my IPad out of my site. I also used Yelp to find restaurants while out running around. The IPad Mini 3's battery lasted forever. Was very reliable and easy to navigate. I even used it to take photos to kind of share the space on my Iphone and camera. I could not have had the trip I had which by the way was amazing without the IPad Mini 3!

I recommend the iPad mini. It's size is perfect for traveling. The display screen has really great quality. It takes great pictures and is easy to use.

Very slim,light and fast compared to my 3rd generation.It just work well with my old iPad,iPhone and MacBook air as I can just start doing something on one device and continue or finish on other one..I like the idea of using my finger to lock and unlock it.The best resolution and retina display that makes watching movies or pictures amazing!!

Great size, big enough to see everything and small enough for traveling. Finger print option a great addition especially when you have snoopy siblings. The color is great. Movies look amazing. I have already recommended to 4 friends which have recently purchased due to my recommendation. To bad you don't offer referral credits.. :( also the upgrade to have more than 1 screen up .. A major plus..

THIS IPAD ROCKS PORTABLE FAST AND SMOOTH LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

I have been enjoyed my Ipad mini 3 very much. Its screen is just right for me, it is not as large as the regular Ipad and it is not as small as my iphone. I can browse the web with larger letters and it is still very neat to carry around. Love it (-:

Excellent protection, crystal clear, easy to install and easy to clean!

Lowest price possible, taking advantage of "4 hours sale"

Much better than my original ipad. nice to be able to use newer apps and upgrade my ios.

If you're thinking about buying an iPad Mini, you should strongly consider buying last year's model (the 2013 iPad Mini 2, formerly called iPad Mini with Retina Display) instead of the iPad Mini 3 that came out in Fall 2014. They are almost identical: EXACT same processor, EXACT same display, EXACT same battery life, EXACT same hardware and dimensions, and they run all the same apps EQUALLY well. The only thing you get with a 2014 Mini 3 that was not on the 2013 Mini 2 is the fingerprint sensor (and a new color option: white front with gold back). This fingerprint sensor is the same one that's on the iPhone 5S and later models. It has limited usefulness on the iPad; it's more useful on phones, since more and more transactions will be done using phones instead of actual credit cards. So, if the Mini 3 and the Mini 2 are virtually identical, why buy the 2? Because it's cheaper. Apple still sells the 2 for $100 less than a comparably configured 3. But you can save even more than $100 if you shop around, because many retailers are clearancing their inventory of last year's Mini 2. Two weeks ago, I found a Mini 2 with cellular and 64gb at B.B. for $150 less than a comparably configured Mini 3. I bought two--one for myself and one for a family member for Christmas. Unless you really want the fingerprint sensor or the new white/gold color combo, skip the Mini 3 and save yourself $100 or more by purchasing a Mini 2 instead.

I definitely can't complain about my iPad mini. I have small hands but I can still manage to hold/type just fine with it. The video playback and display quality is amazing and it's nice and speedy. Also a fan of the Touch ID feature. The only other Apple products I've had were the iPods (mini and the iPod touch), but it's pretty easy to learn. The only thing I wish the iPod mini had was a place for my mini SD card so I could upload/store documents photos and video and just have more space as an option. Other than that, I'm a happy customer!

The introduction of the Touch ID sensor was a great addition. Overall, features such as the front and rear camera, speed, etc. are very similar to the larger Ipads, however it is available in a smaller, more lightweight, compact and easier to carry mini form. This Mini 3 makes it extremely easy to download and manage all of my media between Apple’s various products. Using the iPad mini for Email is a breeze; web browsing is simple and quick.

Love it! The display is beautiful and it is so quick and snappy! I love how it works so seemlessly with my iPhone. I can take pictures on my phone and it'll be on my tablet in no time! Making FaceTime and regular calls from it is also an awesome feature. The fingerprint scanner is awesome too. I was skeptical about the size but it is absolutely perfect for 2 hand operation. It just feels right. I bought this originally to search full websites without having to pull my bulky laptop out and this is great! Makes it so convenient. The kids love the gaming on it (as do I) and I've found a couple educational apps that makes this the total package. I originally was a huge Android fan, but I had a couple Samsung tablets in the past and they just quit working after a while. I've come to the realization that Apple products cost more, but the quality is unmatched. They last and everything just works! I'm so happy with my purchase that I'm thinking of buying another! Buy this you won't be sorry!

It was a tough choice between the full size iPad and Mini. The performance and fingerprint recognition has been great! The size fits right in my wife's purse and she loves it. There is a bit of a size compromise but the portability and weight are great!

I love the fact they apple made mini version of the iPad, but I also love the fact that with throughout time they roll out new features and new changes to everything, for example iPad mini 3, has everything and iPhone 6 has expect for the screen, just a tad big, enough to wrap your hands around it, also lightweight! I had the iPad 3rd gen since it released, huge difference and last but not least, pocket friendly! Inexpensive yet convenient!

It may not be the one i would have picked, the mini form factor is nice, but since i have a note 4, i find the mini to be a bit redundant in some respects, especially at 16g, but its still a great tablet, as quick or quicker than my iPad 3 and much handier to carry around, more kindle like in that respect. I use Fuji X cameras, and this makes a handier sized (to carry around) remote control/viewfinder that is small enough to throw in the camera bag. My reason for not giving 5 starts is i feel this form factor may be fading, with all the larger phones that have similar and even more capabilities, and the camera isn't the 8 mp unit that even my 3 year old iPhone 4s had, but a 5 mp unit, come on apple? I did a little research, and it seems less than 5% of apples tablet orders are mini's. Maybe my opinion isn't far off.

I got this iPad when Best Buy had it on sale and I have been very happy with it. The screen is very sharp and it performs well. For most people, the mini is a perfect size and the weight makes it easy to take with you.

It is a great companion to the rest of my Apple products. I have to say that before the first generation of iPhones I was one of this people that would look the Apple way. But at this moment if Aplle makes it we have it at home from iPhone to this incredible tablet up to Mac Book pro's. The performance of this product is excellent, is fast, easy to navigate and as long as your wifi connection is good you will not have anything to worry because the battery last all day. Unless you are watching videos constantly. Then it will require a charge about mid day.

The ipad mini is just the right size and has so many features. I just downloaded the ios9 and now it is even better! It works so fast and I use it as my calendar, calculator, Bible, Netflix, camera, Amazon and the list goes on! Easy to care in my handbag. I don't have a smart phone so this little ipad helps me with everything. I highly recommend the ipad mini. You won't be sorry. I owned a Samsung tablet first but it can't even compare to the ipad.
