    Easy to use tablet, quick to set up

    This iPad is absolutely perfect! Well, maybe for me, and I'll tell you why. Before I purchased this tablet, I thought that the iPad mini was going to be too big for me. My main use for it now is going to be for college, and I wanted to be able to slip it into my backpack quickly and easily pull it out. I didn't want to be lugging a 60" flat screen tv all the time! To my surprise, it was the perfect size for my needs! I love the connectivity that Apple provides with their devices. I started with an iPhone, and added a MacBook pro to my slowly growing apple collection. Now I have an iPad mini. Throw iCloud in there, and now I can access my phone contacts on all three devices, send a sms message from my iPad to any cell phone regardless of who manufactured the phone, and save a note to my phone from my MacBook! The setup for my iPad was super easy, and even if you don't already have an account with apple, they make it easy to create one to get you started! Definitely would recommend this over any windows or android tablet.

    Mini iPad-perfect size for viewing & fits in purse

    We have had an iPad mini 1st generation 16gb, then we upgraded to the iPad mini with Retina Display 32gb and found that we really needed more memory to take care of all the things we do so when the iPad mini 4 came out, we took the opportunity to upgrade to a iPad mini 3 with 64gb since they were at very attractive closeout prices due to the iPad mini 4 coming on the shelves. We are sold on the iPad mini. It has a large enough screen to view everything we do and it fits very conveniently into my wife's purse. We found we did not need the larger format iPad Air

    Exceeds Expectations

    I replaced my second generation iPad 2 with the new iPad mini 3. It's amazing how much faster it operates, and the storage space holds 64 gig. The screen unlocks like the new iPhones requiring only a finger match. The addition of Siri is a nice touch and its size makes it easier to carry with me. As for the resolution, I couldn't be more pleased. It exceeded my expectations, so I can say I am happy with my purchase. I no longer have to delete apps like I did with my 32 gig to make room for additional apps and music. There's also a 128 gig model, if you can believe that, but my 64 gig is about the right amount of memory for me. If you haven't checked the iPad mini 3 and are considering buying one, I urge you to give it a test run in the store. I promise you won't be disappointed.

    I like it, but the transition's a tad difficult

    I am in the midst of transitioning from a Kindle Fire HD, which I loved, to a iPad mini 3, which I am coming to appreciate. The transition is a tad difficult, however. I find it especially frustrating that the back arrow I'm so used to on the Kindle is not an option on the iPad and it seems I have to go back to the desktop by pressind the main button way too often. But I love the quality of the photos it takes, the speed with which I can access email and messages, and the available Apps, including the Kindle app that gives me access to all the as-yet-unread books on my Kindle. I transitioned to a iPhone first, so this seemed the logical next step, but the learning curve is a bit steeper than I'd imagined.

    I loved my iPad mini but it was getting a little slow and did not have enough space to accommodate my needs. With the new larger hard drive and faster processor it remains my favorite device. Also the battery seems even better as is the camera.

    We recently bought an iPad mini3 and have have owned and Air, Air2, iPad 1, 2 & 4, iPad Air & Air2. The mini 3 is the fastest of them all, and I like the small size. It will fit the back pocket of your jeans (just don't sit on it).

    Very nice and light. Super easy to do things in it. I love the size too. Although, who wouldn't like paying less for things, I think I got a pretty good deal on it. The only thing is I wish it came earphones.

    My wife loves her new iPad Mini 3! Even thought she said she didn't need a replacement to her first gen iPad Mini, she definitely likes the Touch ID sign-in capability, the higher resolution screen and the much faster performance on FB, surfing the web and games. Also much faster downloads via improved Wi-Fi performance.

    This is a good tablet, nice size and weight, I bought it to watch videos and movies on a flight to Europe. Really liked that it stays charged for several hours (Samsung take note because I have your stuff and they are battery killers). Great clear picture, camera works really well.

    iPad mini is all I need for everything now, home to office. It's compact and lightweight, sleek in design. I can bring it with me in my purses. The pictures taken by iPad mini are high quality. There is no need for cameras. A very essential tool in everyday life.

    Actually ordered a Mini 4, clerk gave me a mini-3. I didn't notice it until after I started to install everything. I could have returned it, but I did not want to waste another 2hrs getting everything loaded again. It does work wonderfully though. I use it to watch movies and binge watch television shows. Sound is good, holds a charge well and the picture is bright enough to work in bright light. No complaints so far.

    This is my first iPad (Cristmas gift). Amazed with the lightning charger! Took a little time for me to learn how to use it but am so very pleased with this product. It is SO quick to respond (compared to my desktop PC) & easy to navigate.
