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.

    The iPad 4 was a great purchase, I got it for a really good price. The games in the App Store are the best. The new operating system is so fast now. I can't imagine my life without the new iPad mini 4. You should run out to Best Buy and get this immediately.

    iPad mini 3 was on sale prior to the mini 4 announcement. Got a good price, and I like the size and feel of the mini. Went with the 16gb because it was on sale, but would go with more memory next time.

    The iPad mini 3 is a great tablet. Vibrant screen and fast response. The fingerprint recognition is an added bonus.

    i know it mini 3, so it's supposed to be better... but it's so much better and i'm totally satisfied with upgrading my original mini. i like retina display and it's faster when operating apps and loading internet. it's for people who like small IPad like me...

    Everything on this tab is amazing from resolution to dims and weight! No fuss and no issue with anything. The only continuous problem with apple are the charging cables. Other than that it is great!

    I got the Gold backed iPad mini 3 during the ciber sale online (great price!!) and I'm absolutely in love with it. It's Apple it works well haven't had any problems (unless it was me not knowing how to work it!) which were quickly fixes by a quick google search.

    Love my new iPad Mini! Had a iPad 2 for about 3 years prior and it had just gotten too slow to function. I use it all the time for business and personal. The mini is the perfect size for me. Reading books, viewing content online and running my home theater!

    This is the 2nd Tablet I have bought, and my favorite. Easy to use, looks and feels like a better product than the 1st one. I use it to read books, search the web, etc. I plan to use it to download photo's from my DSLR but have not had time to try it yet.

    I bought the mini's for my twin daughters with the keyboard cases and microsoft office suite. This was the best option for busy teenagers. They are able to do all their school work and projects along with all the music and fun stuff teenagers do on devices.

    No matter which color you buy be it Silver, Space Gray or Gold iPad mini '3 are my favorite tablet. Best to give as gift to parents. I did on Mother's Day and my mother-in-law loved it. She uses it everyday. iPad mini 3 became her living companion now :)

    I postponed buying this for the longest time because of the price. So glad I finally did! I love it! Perfect size, images are so crisp and clear. I purchased on a four hour best buy sale. If I have a complaint it would be the price. No regrets! Love it!

    I have had the Ipad and have to say that I love the size of the mini for traveling. It fits in my purse and I can take it anywhere. I thought that before I purchase the mini, I would be bothered by it's size but I have found that it is perfect for me.

    Love my new iPad Mini 3; especially since this was the first one to incorporate the fingerprint ID feature. So great for reading at night due to the size and light weight. Got it for a nice price during one of the 4hr sales as a My Best Buy member!

    This is the perfect size iPad with the best balance of portability and usability. It barely takes space in my briefcase which it shares with my business laptop. When off the clock, it is my go-to device for browsing, reading and watching movies.

    Anyone who has used an I-pad will enjoy the I-pad mini. The size makes it convenient to use and carry yet it is larger than the Iphone 6 so it offers an in between option for the apple user.

    Great Tablet If You're In The Apple Ecosystem

    I had an iPad 2 before and while I enjoyed it, it was just too big for my liking. I sold it and then a couple years later decided to get an iPad Mini 3. The smaller form factor definitely made the difference for me. It's the perfect size for what I need and I couldn't be happier. The only bad thing I can say about it is I wish the iPad Mini 3 had a built in flash for the camera. While it takes great pictures, the flash would help out even more.

    The Ipad Mini 3 is a wonderful tablet that is just the right size. It is small, fits in my purse and is easy for my two kids to use it without dropping it. It is quite easy to use for internet and watching movies on it. Overall, it is a great tool.

    I keep this in front of my mac so I don't have to open mail or messaging apps while doing other tasks. 5 stars because it does what I bought it for, however sitting on 14 gigs of music I personally would not be able to use this as an everyday iPad.
