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 bought this iPad because my husband said that it would be great for me to read online books. So I did since it was on the 4 hour sale and I love it! It's small but not too small and its big enough to not have to hurt my my vision when I read

    We bought these I-pads to replace my kids 1st gen I-pads. They are great perfect size for little hands and are able to put up with a lot of crumbs and falls from little laps. I am sure my kids will get several years of good use out of these.

    Although the latest and greatest is cool. The ipad mini 3 added the id touch to the ipad mini 2. It does not have the latest processor etc. so you can easily go cheaper and be just as happy with the ipad mini 2 in my opinion. I do of course like just placing my finger on the touch id and logging in versus swiping and entering a code. It is also slick when you make a purchase online and use your finger print to confrim the purchase.

    The tablet is quick an lives up to the apple reputation. The picture quality is very crisp and the color just pops from the screen. The ability to use the finger print touch capability is a nice touch to avoid having to type in your password.

    We bought this iPad to stream shows and for the kids to play some educational games. Perfect size for the little ones. We also have a Nexus 7 tablet and the quality is night and day between the two. Can't go wrong with Apple products.

    I had an iPad 2 and the performance seemed to decrease. So, I tried the mini bec it was on sale. I love it. I can hold it and read, and the portability of this size is really nice.

    Its an Apple product. So obviously its awesome! Although there is no difference between iPad min 2 and 3 except the Touch ID, I got it for a lesser price than Mini2 from Best Buy.

    I bought ipad mini 3 for my son's 9th birthday, he loves it. He quickly downloaded his favorite games and apps. I am very happy with this purchase just like with any other Apple product. I got it on sale for $299, well worth the price!

    I like the product but find it is frustrating due to limitations imposed by Apple. A simple messaging app to send messages to non-IOS products would be nice. I don't like that I do not have complete control over the icons appearing on the screen. I moved several icons into a folder to get them out of the way and would prefer to have been able to remove them completely. It may be that these things are possible and I haven't learned enough about the iPad to accomplish these tasks yet. The tablet is a nice size. I own a 7" Kindle Fire HDX and a Nook HD that I can boot to Android. Each device has its advantages and disadvantages. Overall I am happy with the device.

    Apple Minipad is an item I've wanted to get for several months. I purchased the item when I rec'd the special pricing through my e-mail form Best Buy. I love the security and the ease of retrieval for any site I've visited before.

    Bought this item specifically for reading and have started to use it for homework. tarot readings, to curl up and watch Netflix in a blanket nest on my days off. It's golden.
