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.

    I like how light and portable it is. At first I wondered if I should have gotten the IPAD mini 2 instead since the only upgrade is the fingerprint sensor. Luckily, there wasn't a big price difference because got it on sale. In the end, I do find the sensor convenient as short cut.

    What can I say, Apple has done it again. From the new goldtone backing, to the fingerprint recognition. I love the way pictures look and are taken. I use face time almost every day and it is one of my favorite features. I would most definitely recommend this product to anyone.

    This was purchased as a gift for our granddaughter. She LOVES it! It came out of the box charged and ready for her to enjoy right away. She has no need for a full sized screen. Portability was more important for her, and like most Apple items--this one did not disappoint.

    Like the Touch ID. Like the display. There are things about iOS that I really don't like. But the machine is pretty good.

    This is a perfect size tablet for portable projects. I linked it to my Gopro with the free Gopro app and use the iPad Mini to view and control the camera remotely. My son plays games on it when we are traveling. Small enough to fit in my camera bag, big enough to see the screen.

    I purchased this product because I wanted a smaller iPad for my travels. And given there was a four-hour sale for $249.99, I had to make the purchase. I've had many iPad's in the past, so this will be added to my collection. You will not be disappointed with this iPad Mini.

    This ipad mini replaced an original ipad that was no longer functional. Loved the size and can put it in my purse and take it everywhere. Quality as always with apple is exceptional. The protection plan offered by best buy is also a great value to help protect the product.

    I've been saying I wanted an iPad for over a year now, but couldn't justify buying one. Then BestBuy put the iPad mini 3 on sale, and I couldn't help myself. Do not regret it at all. I take it all over with me, and love the convenience of the size. Ultra portable. Love it.

    I love the mini pad3. It look just like the iPhone only you can't talk on it. You can do so much on the iPad and I love everything about it. When your iPhone rings the mini pad does too, its really cool. Whatever I do on my iPhone I can set so it shows up on my mini pad.

    It's an iPad. It works like it's supposed to. I held out for years before trying an Apple phone or tablet, but I'm definitely on board now. For me, the iPad Mini is heads and shoulders above any of the other tablets out there. I feel the ease of use is second to none.

    This was a Christmas gift for my son. He hasn't used it much as I keep stealing it, lol! Am going to buy one for myself, it's a fantastic tablet. If you're an iPhone user, you will love this tablet. And for Android users, this is still the best tablet out there! Super fast!!

    The IPAD Mini is just as functional as the IPAD Air, at a fraction of the weight. Easy to handle especially for women and children with small or petite hands. And many more choices than the black and white available with the Air. Would purchase again. IPAD (Apple) = Quality

    This is a great tablet. I really like the mini because you can get a smaller version iPad without having to compromise on the quality or performance of the larger model. There may be some strong competition out there, but an Apple product will always be my first choice.

    I had an original iPad mini and decided it was time to step up so my daughter could take my old one. It took about 20 minutes to get the new one set up exactly as I wanted and this iPad has been flawless. No stuttering or suddenly closing for no reason. I'm very happy!

    A quick 'link' to the internet.

    Works great for that quick link-up to the internet world. Simple to operate, easy to handle, handy to carry around with you/portable. The smaller screen makes reading a bit more difficult as all is smaller on the mini, but is comparatively smaller and easier to handler. Great personal tool. Wish it had similarly handy personal storage device and keyboard...then it would have it all.

    I got a mini 3 for the price of a mini 2. Who can beat that. It was a gift to myself. I love the way it charges so fast. Less then an hour you can go from 1% to 100%. It doesn't take forever to come back on when it dies. As soon as u plug it in your back in business

    You cannot beat an iPad. I purchased this to use as a universal remote. The smaller size of the iPad mini is perfect. Since this is going to be an "in home" device I did not feel the need to go any bigger than the 16gb. Perfect for basic apps and Internet surfing
