Customers are positive about the iPad mini 3 Wi-Fi 16GB's size, ease of use, and camera quality, with many praising its compact form factor and user-friendly interface. The lightweight design and impressive battery life also received significant praise. However, customers are negative about the limited storage capacity of the 16GB model, citing concerns about insufficient space for apps and files. While some appreciated features like Touch ID and the display, the small storage option was a recurring point of concern.

    I bought this iPad for my 2 years old daughter. She love it. Perfect size for little hands, and very easy to use applications. Great price too!

    We bought an iPad mini to replace my wife's iPad that had a cracked screen. She loves the size and weight of the mini, it fits in her purse.

    I got mine during one of Best Buy's sales. It's such a convenient device. You turn it on and it just works. It slips into my purse easily, and it's the perfect size to use on the couch. And who says iPads are mostly for media consumption? I finished writing my book with my iPad mini 3 while sitting on the couch. Just make sure you can live with 16GB. iOS takes up room and will leave you with about 12GB right off the bat. It's a tight squeeze if you like a lot of apps, movies, pictures, etc. Other than that, it's a great device.

    My 10 yr. old son loves his iPad Mini 3

    We have the original iPad Mini which my oldest son purchased when they were first introduced by Apple. My 10 year old loves the size of the iPad mini 3 as do I. Unlike the larger iPad, which we have as well, the iPad mini 3 is perfect for my son to take to school and use in class. The iPad mini seems to get ignored by Apple as far as updates go and I've heard the analyst say it almost appears as if Apple may be trying to phase out the iPad mini. If that is truly the case, I don't understand their logic because we love the iPad mini 3.

    Apple does have great products. My main concerns would be: it's Apple so no flash and buy one with more memory, especially if it is WiFi-only because it's hard to stream something when you don't have a WiFi connection and no cellular to fall back on. Good looking solid piece of equipment with good battery life. It isn't exactly the tablet I wanted . I'm a PC guy not really an Apple person, but I felt like it was a pretty excellent deal. A 4hour sale, $250 for an iPad Mini 3, and it is still selling at $300.

    Great tablet. I love the Touch ID. The finish looks great, I would recommend more gigabytes though but can't complain since it was a gift

    The iPad mini in general is absolutely the best tablet yet overall triumphs over the any other. Great speed and small size all in one.

    We have them all over the house, 1st gen, 2nd gen, 3rd gen that they didn't call the "3." We didn't quite make it over to the Air side of things because we have a Macbook Air, but I did like the idea of a mini. For meetings and quick productivity, it is quite good. And with the price drop after the 4 came out, and having enough certificates to make this cost $100, I went for it. I would have paid full price though!

    The Apple iPad mini 3 is a great product due to both hardware, software, and design. There is a reason Apple products are high in price and it isn't solely because of its marketing. These are highly intuitive devices that have great features, and capabilities. This was a gift for my child and was perfect for them as it wasn't too large or too small. Just the right fit. However, even after testing it myself, it's a great mobile device that fits easily into one hand and still feels natural. I highly recommend this product.

    It's an awesome iPad mini. It's not the best iPad but it's very handy and easy to use. The touch id sensor makes everything just convenient when opening an app or the homescreen. If you are a first time buyer of an iPad mini, it's a good deal. Powerful iPad mini.

    I have an iPad 3. I placed them side by side and the screen resulted of the mini 3 is off the charts. It has a faster processor. I bought this for my wife because she inherited my iPad 1 after I upgraded. She loves it. I like it better even though it is a smaller screen size. It is easier to carry around. I would highly recommend this product.
