Customers are saying

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.

    Best Tablet on the market.

    It's the best tablet on the market because it's the same awesome operation as the original ipad, with the convenience of fitting in cargo shorts pockets. I take it everywhere with me. Doctors appointments, trips, and visiting family to show pictures or share information I found. I absolutely love it.

    LOVE my iPad mini 3! We already have an iPad, but oftentimes it's a bit larger than I want to bring with me for quick client meetings, or when I have some down time before/after appointments, at lunch, etc. The iPad mini is just the right size to fit in 90% of my purses without being too heavy or bulky.

    I checked out Best Buy website to purchase the iPad mini 2 during tax-free weekend to find that the iPad mini 3 was discounted $100. Knowing that the only difference between the 2 and 3 was the Touch ID, I wouldn't have paid $100 extra for it, but when they were same price it was a no brainer.

    Bought it as a New Year present for my mother. Its easy to carry around, yet not as small as I thought. What I understand the mini 3 is the same as the mini 2 but has the Touch ID. If you are looking to save and don't mind not having the touch ID than get the mini 2. Yet the Touch ID is convenient.

    Purchased for a Drawing

    I purchased this for a drawing at an education related function. These are always one of most desired items by attendees because they know exactly what they are going to get and they know that it is going to work. iPads are reliable, consistent and you don't have to worry about bugs. I also got this item on sale, so it worked out even better for me. The only issue I would say is that the 16GB of storage is not sufficient for a regular user. I always recommend at least 32GB, which is why I didn't rate this a 5.

    We bought this for our daughter who is developmentally disabled. We tried 3 other tablets in the past just not wanting to pay the cost of the iPad but she struggled using all of them. This Christmas we bought this iPad and it's made a world of difference for her. She absolutely loves it!

    I bought the iPad Mini to replace my iPad 2. The resolution is amazing. ITa processor is much faster. I mostly use it for games and reading. I'm very happy with my purchase. The perks of being a rewards member make it even better.

    My 6 year old son loves this device! He watches his YouTube videos and plays Minecraft PE and other games on it whenever he gets the chance. I am sure he will get lots of use out of it as long as he doesn't damage it. He has owned it for almost 2 months now and has had no accidents or issues.

    iPad Mini 3 is a great product. It's a good size if you want to bring your iPad along with you wherever you go and appreciate the larger screen size than your phone. Cases are a little confusing to buy for it.. Make sure you select iPad mini 3 with retina when you are looking for a case.

    My family is new to using ipads and tablets and a decision had to be made to stick with one MFR. It was a no brainer to my son and wife since they both own I phones. Once I seen the iPad I noticed its just like their phones. The ease of iPad is awesome from beginner's to advanced. Its not to big or not too little. Its a perfect start !

    I have both an iPad Air 2 and a Mini 3 and had pretty much every model before them. I love the fingerprint sensor and the retina display, and both the Mini 3 and the Air 2 are really fast. Pick a size and you're good to go.

    I bought the iPad mini 3 for my daughter's birthday. She had tried it when we were in the store and liked the size. She also likes all the apps available for it. I bought it on one of Best Buy's 4 hour sales for 35% off as most Apple products don't go on sale often (or not that low).

    Upgraded my iPad 2 to the Mini. The camera, graphics and over all speed is great. The new Touch ID is very quick to program and its pre loaded with Notes, Pages etc. worth the price.

    Although this device is the smallest of the iPads and larger then the 6plus, I like the size and flexibility the most. If you want something that can easily fit in most bags but is big enough to sit in a hotel room and use when you have time to spare, this iPad is a wonderful device.

    I love the fingerprint reader as it keeps my grandchildren from getting on the I-pad unless they ask first. One of the main reasons I really like the mini is for the reading aspect is linked to my I-phone. Via the I- cloud. Go someplace , time to kill. Read my books on the I-phone.
