The lightweight design and impressive battery life also received significant praise.

    I picked up a couple of these when they were on sale a few weeks back and I have not regretted it. Great for playing games on rather than running my phone battery down. It's also much easier to watch movies on the iPad screen than a phone screen.

    I actually bought it for my son who is so into Technology, but the whole family enjoys it as well. Of course he has Priority Possession of it but when he feels in a sharing mood we all enjoy it. Its the perfect size and works beyond my expectations.

    I had an iPad 2 before and loved it. But, I wanted something smaller but bigger at the same time for reading. This mini is faster and the split screen feature is great as well. If you're looking for a great tablet. The iPad Mini 4 is great!!!

    Daughter wanted an iphone 6, I didn't want her losing a phone and also she simply doesn't need a phone (or IPad for that matter, really), but she wants to be able to facetime with friends, great size, battery life, performance for a kid like her.

    I got this iPad while it was on sale at BestBuy and it was more than what I wanted for the price. Fast, clear, junk free, and work just as expected. Battery life has been extremely good. For my usage, I get approx 10 hr before it gave up on me.

    I was a little disappointed when I found out the iPad mini 4 was out around Christmas... but the iPad mini 3 made up for it! I got it for my mom as a Christmas present and she loves it! Perfect size, perfect display, perfect all around!!

    You can't go wrong with an iPad... for your kid

    There are thousands of reviews out there so I will not review the tablet itself. I don't personally use the iPad mini 3 as this was a gift for my son but I witness him using it every day. This is a really nice tablet for a child. The size and weight seem right for them and it didn't take long for my 2 yo to get used to IOS. With a good case and a screen protector, I'm not worried about him breaking it. It's obviously overkill for a 2 yo but dedicated tablets seemed overpriced and the few available apps seemed both poorly designed and overly expensive. We've also tried a couple of Android tablets before to save money but the responsiveness and the app library made us switch to Apple. The iPad mini build quality is also probably better suited for kids. I'm sure it will last longer than a kid's or an Android tablet would have.

    This iPad is mainly a replacement for my laptop. It does everything I need and more. The Touch ID is a really handy feature, I can log into many of my accounts without the need to type in a password. A simple fingerprint is all that's needed.

    Was debating between the mini and the full size and opted for the mini since it just seemed easier to manipulate with one hand. Decided on the 3 instead of the 4 mostly based on price since I am not one to need the latest and greatest

    We've had an iPad 2 before which was getting too slow. The mini 3 is much faster and compact enough to take on an airplane etc. Our little one is frequently watching movies on it while traveling. Overall we love the smaller screen size.

    I purchased this ipad mini 3 as a replacement for my wife's amazon kindle. She really likes having all of the extra bells and whistles that go with owning the ipad mini. The amazon kindle wasn't bad, but the ipad mini is really good.

    This is the device that all tablets are measured against under 8". The iPad 3 mini is the standard in small tablet devices. Very quick, perfect screen quality and with Touch ID you can't go wrong. You'll love it, guaranteed!

    Great iPad but expensive at regular price

    Great iPad and I am very happy with it. I'm am a bit disappointed with the pricing since the only difference between this and the previous iPad mini (iPad mini 2) is that this one has Touch ID and runs you $100 more for it. It is best to get this when it goes on sale if Touch ID is a big selling point for you. But other than that it is a solid performer like most apple products and you won't be disappointed.

    I got this for my sister. She loves its easy accessibility and lightweight. The mini is the perfect size for on the go since some of the regular sized tablets are somewhat heavier and harder to store in a big while traveling.

    I used to have a Kindle Fire HD. It worked ok but I was never fully happy with it, so I traded it in when I bought a PS4. I used my iPad mini more in the first three weeks than I ever used the Fire. Apps like Netflix, Watch ESPN, etc. stream with no issues. I had a Moga Rebel controller for my iPhone and now I can play some great games on a larger screen. I only wish I could have afforded the 64GB model.

    Ipad Mini 3

    This is my 1st Apple product that I've owned and I am very impressed by it already, as the touch screen is very good and I like the size of it because I had gone to the Ross store the next day and found a compatible bluetooth keyboard case for it at only $15 instead of the usual $60 for it. Having the keyboard has allowed me to type faster longer messages, and being it is a case it allows me to prop up straight my Ipad Mini to watch movies, etc. The apps for it are good and Microsoft has their Office Apps for it, and they are quite good too with a lot functionality to it. I like it very much but pity Apple products don't support Adobe Flash, but I am adjusting to the fact except I may stay with Windows laptop for now for the best of both worlds.

    I purchased this for my daughter as a graduation gift. She loves the small size with the quality of Apple's screen dynamics. She will be commuting and this will allow her to work and "play" during her travel time.
