    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.

    A Great "Lean Back" iPad

    I have the big screen iPad Pro that I use for a combination of work and relaxation, mostly web browsing and watching videos. But I bought the iPad mini as my "lean back" device for the couch. It's great for reading books and web browsing. This new version of the iPad mini is faster and the screen quality is excellent, although it doesn't have the ultra sharp mini-LED display of the large screen iPad Pro. If you want an iPad as a multi-purpose device for work and play, this is not your model. You'll want a larger screen if you need an iPad for work. If you want an iPad that's easy to hold and carry with you for consumption, this is it.

    I am really enjoying the size and how light weight this iPad mini feels! It’s fast and I’m loving the Touch ID feature too! It’s fast and have had no problems at all. I was able to activate quickly with no problems. The photos and video are so clear and the colors are great!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I bought this to replace my mini 5with the upcoming iOS 18. I’ve been impressed with the little things that are on the mini 6 including the fingerprint sensor being in the wake button on the top of the device. The processor is much faster and the battery lasts longer. I also have Best Buy Total which gives me a free Apple plus for my device. I’m one very satisfied customer.

    The IPad 6th generation mini is awesome! Although it is the same size in dimensions as my 5th generation mini IPad, the viewing screen is actually 1 inch longer in length. The touch activated controls are excellent. I also liked the ease in transferring all my information from my older mini to this new one. I saw in settings that a stylus can be activated, which I did not have before. Overall, I’m pleased with this Apple device.

    I love the size of this IPad because I use it for reading. I have my Nook, Kindle and Libby app on it. It’s easy to carry with me and can use it to look things up on Safari, nature apps. Great machine. The IPad I had been using, I gave to my daughter. Still running beautifully. My recommendation is to get the 256 rather than the 64. You’ll want the space.

    Great product! Purchased it to use as an ereader. Originally was going to purchase a cheaper one that was more geared towards an Ereader but decided to go with this one since it can do more than that. Im glad I did. Battery life is excellent, I charge it every 3 days and it has not given me any issues. I could have gotten the bigger Ipad for lesser price but the size of this one makes it a great portable device that i can carry in my purse. Definitely recommend.
