    All my friends have an iPad and I thought I was missing something. I wish it was just a little better on the apps. Rather disappointing vs. the Android ones I have been using. It is faster than my Sony Xperia but that is 2 years old now. I quickly learned to back up my Mini on my computer vs. iCloud. With 64 GB, that could add up to some monthly fees from ITunes. I DO like the mail better. I don't like the fact that there is not a back arrow. You have to close out the app you are on and then go back to where you want to be. Perhaps I just haven't figured it out yet. I DO like the fingerprint access. I Do like the charging/bluetooth speaker I bought to go with it for the music. I did learn how to transfer my music from Amazon so I can still buy from them. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Over all, I like it and am glad I bought it. It is a good size yet still small enough to fit in any purse. It has a good battery life, too.

    I bought the iPad mini 3 for my job. I work in a medical office and we transitioned to electronic records a few years ago. While we could access the records on a desktop computer, it was a hassle entering patients vitals into the computer. I had to go into another room to enter the vitals on the computer. All I have to do now is bring the iPad into the room with me and enter the vitals right there. Saves a lot of time. Love it!

    I am computer illiterate and I only use the iPad mini 3 for basic services, so I can only comment on that, but I find this product to be a great substitute for a laptop or desktop computer. It's extremely light which is nice when you pack it for trips because it doesn't add any significant weight to your luggage. It's surfs the web and downloads programs faster than any other computer I have ever owned. And for me, it's the perfect size for my hands when I need to type on the keyboard after I turn the iPad mini 3 on its side. It's perfect.

    We replaced a Galaxy tablet that died on us within six months of purchase with this product. I ordered as much memory as I could afford as our Galaxy did not have enough memory on it to suit my grandson who loves to play Star Wars games. It is easy to use and so far we have been able to load a lot of extra things on it with no problem. It holds a charge for a VERY long time. My grandson is pretty rough with it and there have not been any issues thus far--but we have it well protected with a cover. We are really glad we purchased this!

    The iPad mini offers you a great option that currently sits between the iPhone 6 Plus and the iPad Air 2 in terms of screen size. This makes it more portable and easier to hold than the Air 2 but gives you more screen real estate than the 6 Plus. The one key downfall is that it has the slowest processor of the 3. However that’s not to say that the A7 processor on the Mini 3 is a slouch. For all intents and purposes, in everyday use, the A7 should fulfill all your tablet computing needs effortlessly. Having used it myself for the last couple weeks, I don’t find myself grinding my teeth due to performance.

    This is my 3rd Apple iPad. I had the original iPad1, then the iPad2, and now the iPad Mini3 Wi-Fi 64GB with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and Retina display. This is clearly the most useful computer device that I own! The very clear Retina display screen is large enough to view webpages in desktop mode, yet it is compact enough to hold in one hand. Being able to hold the iPad mini in one hand while navigating with the other makes this a very useful computer that makes you more productive. The 64 GB of storage is awesome! I have installed all of the Apple essential apps, Microsoft office suite for iPad, and several large Photo editing Applications. I still have tons of memory leftover for whatever else I want to install, including videos and photos. For anybody looking to purchase the Very best and tablet PCs don't look anywhere else Intel you've used an iPad. Once you move to an iPad you’ll be hooked. The speed and reliability is incredible compared to any of the other devices on the market. I have purchased Tablet PCs installed with both of the competitive tablet operating systems. In my strong opinion, IOS is undisputedly the best..

    I bought this to replace my aging Ipad2. I love the smaller profile that is easy to hold in one hand. Functions are similar and I love the 64G memory. Much faster than the old one. Set up was easy and would recommend to anyone.

    I passionately love the iPad mini. My friends said it was pointless but its not. It is physically smaller than the iPad but it has the same excellent quality. Its a lot lighter than the iPad. You may think its to small it's not, the commercials kind of make it look smaller, you get used to the size very easily. The size is very convenient and it still feels like the full iPad experience.It is fast as well. The camera is nice and the speakers aren't bad like the iPod touches. I actually prefer the size it's not big and bulky, you can take it out in public and feel a lot less awkward than with a real iPad. If you want a tablet for strictly work use maybe the iPad is a better choice, however if you're just going to use it for a work and games, entertainment, photos etc. I definitely recommend it.

    Excellent screen, fast processor, and a near perfect footprint. Sure, the regular sized iPad has a bigger screen, but the size of this and the quality of the display is just about perfect. Highly recommended!

    High resolution display and small enough to carry in your bag on vacation for photos. I purchased this to replace my daughter's older version iPad that had a broken screen and less memory that she has been using for the usual purposes (school, games, social networking, etc) I recently purchased one myself and love it. She was very excited to receive it as she was leaving on a trip to China and decided to use it as here dedicated camera for the trip because of the quality of the images it produces. And let me tell you she has sent me the most beautiful, crisp images while traveling. She was away for two weeks and didn't have to use the Cloud at all. She LOVES it and doesn't hesitate to tell me. I too love mine and wouldn't trade it for another tablet at this point. I didn't miss going from a larger screen to a smaller screen either.

    I had been looking at the Air 2, but went with the mini 3. The size and performance is perfect. I couldn't have been happier with the choice. If you are looking for a powerful tablet, that can be used easily on the go then stop your search here.

    iPad Mini

    The iPad Mini 3 is the perfect balance between screen size and physical size. It fits easily in one hand, letting you hold it like a book or an eReader. If you travel a lot like me or want a tablet for a commute, the iPad Mini 3’s size is perfect. It runs exactly the same as the iPad mini 2, maintaining its solid all-day battery life, it consumes very little battery in standby even when connected to the internet.The fingerprint sensor under the home button works well for unlocking the tablet and authorising purchases from the App Store and iTunes, but it can also be used in third-party apps. Evernote and Dropbox, for instance, can be secured with Touch ID keeping prying eyes out unless they have your fingerprint or the four-digit passcode those apps allow. Overall I have very happy with my purchase. Even happier that I was able to catch it at a discounted price at the time of purchase.

    Upon buying this for my son as a Christmas gift, I quickly found myself using it too. Very clear screen, great speed and just the right size to carry with you all day. My son uses it a lot for gaming and it's perfect for his smaller hands to use the controls.

    I like the retina display, it's much better than the 1st gen Mini I had before! The 64 GB is perfect for school and a few games and the system is a lot faster in side-by-side comparison with my 1st gen 16 GB Mini. Very Happy. Much Approve. Much Recommend.
