    I love the iPad mini model! I have owned just about every model of iPad at one point or another. I use them for work daily. What I really appreciate about the mini is its size! It is just the right size for one handed viewing like reading an email, PDF, or book. It is easy to bring it with as a companion to a laptop. With the larger models I often feel silly about having both a computer and a large tablet. Apple also has the tablet market when it comes to good app support and optimization. On paper, this iPad is sort of mid-level specked with the A15, but you would be hard pressed to find something that doesn't run well on here. Perhaps some video editing would bog it down, but I don't think that is anything someone would buy this for anyways. I do wish it was priced a bit more competitively and had better entry level storage options. 64 GB is not enough, and you pay a premium to bump up to the 256 GB. Nothing apple isn't known for though.

    I bought this to replace my iPad mini 4 because its performance had slowed and begun to have issues. I’m happy with the new model. Usable screen is larger, performance is fast and flawless. The size of the mini hits the sweet spot for my needs. Battery life is fantastic compared to my old one.

    Jury is still out for me on this Mini. My first Apple iPad and it’s definitely a learning curve coming from Android. I bought this because of its size and portability. Beautiful screen and was very easy to set up. Ridiculously expensive but that’s not surprising. Thought I would be bowled over and instantly in love, but I’m not. Will hopefully be able to add to this review as I go along and use the tablet more.

    I normally have my iPad mini with me when I'm in the office, on a trip and anytime I might need it outside the house. Of course I have an iPhone, but for everybody who is (like me) a 'best ager', it's simply easier to have the bigger screen. The latest iPad mini has a performance that is comparable to the iPhone 13 Pro, so that's enough processor power to do everything on the web, in your favorite apps or even play some games, if you want. Also, it supports the Apple Pencil, which is a great chance if you want to write a diary and don't like a keyboard. Yes - it comes with a high price tag, but since you can take it everywhere and everyday, this should level the cost somehow.

    This maybe the best ipad apple has ever made! I have been using apple ipad’s since the first generation back in 2010 and starting using ipad pro’s when they were released. However I wanted something smaller. So I tried the 8.3 inch ipad mini 6 and was blown away with how great it is. I use it more than my 11 inch ipad pro. The size is easy to hold in one hand. It is light and pretty much fits in any bag. Works great with my apple pencil. I didnt think I would like the screen size for watching shows but it is my go to now.

    I've had this for almost a month so I love my new iPad mini! so much easier to carry around than my bigger iPad and a lot lighter! I wish I thought of this sooner! It makes a good reader too, especially while waiting in long lines. I would recommend getting a glare free protector so it's easier on the eyes. BB didn't have any in store.

    Fifth IPad so not surprised it suits my needs. Ususally pass older one down, but this time I dropped it and felt better about investing in a new one than in repair bill. Gets lot of use, stays charged longer. Got the Mini due to lighter weight, easier on my arthritic wrist, but still very happy with the screen size and features.

    This version of the iPad mini is fantastic. I welcomed the upgraded look since it matches the look of my iPad Pro 11. The cameras are a welcomed upgrade. The photos and videos taken on both the front and rear cameras look amazing. I love local and long-distance travel with this iPad since it is compact, but still provides the same functionality of my iPad Pro. There are screen limitations for drawing apps and photo and video editing apps, but I can take photos, save them to a cloud, and edit when I return to my iPad Pro or laptop. Definitely a must have if you want a slightly larger screen then your cell phone, but want the ease of traveling without a larger tablet or laptop.

    My iPad mini 4 was running slow, so I used some gift cards from work along with the Black Friday deal and this turned out to be a great price. This is so much faster as well as smaller and lighter than the iPad mini 4 and charges fast. I love it.

    For years I was unsure about tablets and how I could implement them in my daily life. I already had a MacBook so, what use could an iPad have? Long story short I bought one to try and now I see what I was missing. The iPad Mini is a fabulous tablet for on-the-go people. The screen is the size of a small notebook and you can carry it around pretty much everywhere. I use it for reading books, drawing my own art, note taking, and it’s pretty much where I keep my electronic essentials. It is like taking a part of my laptop with me and get easy access to my email and files. The iPad Mini alongside the Apple Pencil are a great combination.

    Perfect iPad for the Commuter

    I haven't had an iPad since the very first iPad Mini, I lost it earlier this year and looked up the most current iPad Mini on the market. It was a well needed upgrade and it was even better than I thought it would be. Initially I was going to use this for reading on the Kindle and Comixology app but now it became my digital notebook and canvas to create art as well. This is also the perfect sized iPad to put in my sling crossbody bag for my daily commute to work.
