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.

    This is my first Apple product and I couldn't be happier. I love the Gold design and the screen is vibrant, clear and crisp. It is extremely easy to use (after doing a little research on how to use it) The Wifi connection is strong and fast on most networks. Very happy with my purchase.

    I was on the fence about getting the mini because I wasn't sure how little it would be since I have had small Samsung tabs but I LOVE this iPad. It is so convenient and I have absolutely no problems with it. The addition of the Touch ID sold me most especially for making purchases.

    A lot speedier than my old one and the retina display is nice even if I feel like not completely necessary. The one thing that is noticeable is Touch ID, really like just pressing and having it ready to go instead of password everytime, but other than that, it's pretty much the same as the 1st generation just a nice replacement for the older one.

    This iPad Mini 3 which I got from BestBuy was so cheap, $150 discount. Can't beat the price & quality of product is so great. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I'll try my best to answer. Please note I had been using iPad since they came out. So easy to use, my grandkid less than 2 years old can use it too.

    I had bought the original iPad for my wife. She is a very petite Filipina. After several years of use. She wanted something smaller which she could handle easier. After I bought the mini for her Christmas present, she was very happy with the ease of handling it.

    I use this occasionally for college when I don't want to carry my laptop to open up pdfs and take some small notes during lectures. It looks great, works great and only takes up a little space on my desk so I can still have my notebooks out if I need to.

    I though this absolutely was the best tablet I've ever owned. Not a problem at all with the operating system. I've had other tablets and they were really buggy. The Touch ID has never once failed nor has the camera. All apple products in my eyes are just top of the line. 1 year warranty on all their products you can't beat it!!

    I bought this for my son (10). He used to have a kindle fire, but starting having problems stopping working when overexposed to heat, and also it took forever to charge. On the other hand, the battery life of the ipad mini last for a long time. also, camera offers great resolution and has plenty of apps for the kids

    I upgraded and downsized from an iPad Second Gen. The new mini 3 with retina display is amazing in comparison to my old iPad. It's less clunky and cumbersome -- I love the smaller size. You can watch in 1080p or higher resolution. Very quick and responsive to my touch. I love how much faster it is than my old iPad.

    Purchased the iPad mini 3 on Special for $250 from Best Buy. This model will be discontinued with the introduction of the iPad mini 4. With a slightly higher processor speed and other minor upgradess, I couldn't justify the aditional $150 cost of the mini 4 over the mini 3. This is a great iPad at a great price.
