    The iPad mini is great. The size is really nice, and it’s battery life is excellent too. It’s the typical iPad experience you’d expect, great screen, all day battery life, and good speakers also. For what it is right now, this is probably one of the best iPads for everyday people, if you can live with the small size. Still criminal 64gb is an option in 2023, hopefully that is increased soon.

    I came from Android and tried this out since its the only decent small tablet I found. Size wise, its a perfect handheld tablet, I can hold it and operate with one hand easily. Its pretty smooth too and fast for my usage. The screen is crisp and bright. My complaints are mostly software especially coming from Android. There are just alot of convenient Android stuff that I miss when I use this (like all browser are safari based, multitasking aint that great compared to Android).

    I bought two of these for my kids in hopes they will stop fighting over their old iPads and my phone and iPad. So far it’s a work in progress but we are making progress lol. Overall no buyers remorse whatsoever in fact now I gotta buy my wife a mini her month old iPad needs an upgrade already for some very practical reason that I can’t seem to remember at this moment in time…hmmm yea can’t recall. But picture battery life size and durability all on point as expected. And if it keeps the kids off my phone and my iPad so I can keep my music playing to keep me sane worth every penny I spent on them. Thank you again Best Buy and crew much appreciated for the quality service and products.

    This iPad is great. It’s perfect everyday size, also purchasing from Best Buy the delivery was very quick! Especially when I ordered it only a few days before Christmas as a gift. Scared it would not come in time, due to all packages arriving late especially days before Christmas. The iPad came exactly when they said it was. The ipad is better than all the different ones I’ve had prior to this new one. Recommend it if you’re interested in purchasing it, 10/10!!

    This device is like a mini iPad Pro! The weight-to-power ratio is impressive—I took it hiking and forgot it was even in my bag. Some people think the screen is small, but it’s actually better than the non pro models and still larger than a phone. It’s not a full laptop replacement, but it’s perfect for note-taking and running iPadOS. The battery life is worse, but only by about an hour.

    I’ve been holding back for a long time To invest in an iPad, I’m formally an android tablet fan, but this definitely knocks the android A8 out of the water, the android does have long battery life, but it’s also heavier and it takes longer to charge compared to the iPad mini. The I pad battery life is sufficient, but it charges in no time and it is lite,which makes it my go to when I travel .all of my products I have now are Apple, the iPad mini is a solid investment

    The IPAD Mini is grea for little kids. I bought it for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. She can access & navigate through it easily without a problem. Its great for small kids since it is a mini. Its very light to carry even with a case on it. I highly recommend it. It also fits in my daughters tiny bag, easy to carry around doesnt take up much room.

    I love this smaller iPad. I have an iPad pro which feels too big after holding it awhile. And I have an iPhone which is sometimes too small to read books, browse the internet and watch videos. The iPad mini is light and easy to hold. I got the generation 2 pencil also. It works great on the screen. I do really like how the pencil magnetically sticks to the edge of the iPad and charges while connected to it. The pencil automatically synced with the iPad when I magnetically snapped it to the edge. It was a good companion purchase with the iPad. I have read about the 'jelly-scrolling' where the text will seem to lag behind a little making the scrolling look kind of 'wavy'. I first noticed when I got the iPad. I don't think apple can do anything about this now, but I read that they are going to address it in the future model refresh, hopefully. But overall, the iPad mini meets my exceeds my expectations and I would recommend buying this item if you are looking for a smaller and lighter iPad.

    I was thinking of going with an ipad pro 11 inch. I'm so glad I didn't . This ipad mini is AMAZING. For the way cheaper price, I definitely recommend it. I wasn't sure due to the smaller screen, but it's just fine. I can grab it and watch my shows and have no issues. Also the battery life is insane on this. If you want a bigger screen and you're not going to go crazy with editing etc, go with the air. But if you're just consuming media and you want something more compact, just get this.

    I love my new iPad mini. I chose purple and while I wish it was more of a lilac color (can look gray at times) I still adore it! The device is light and small enough to carry around and the screen is big enough to read books/articles and stream your favorite movies and tv shows. I'm obsessed.

    Y’know I’ll be honest, I got this thinking it was just going to be for fun, but it is so dang useful. I use it for way more than I expected and it’s so portable. It’s seemed TOO small but immediately grew on me. It’s actually the perfect size in my opinion (I attached a size comparison).

    Received sooner than predicted, which was an awesome surprise. Not even 24hrs out of box and so far so good. Small/compact..,,comfortable/perfect. Can hold in one hand without a problem. I can see myself taking this everywhere/ like a daily planner. Need more time to get to know my new mini tab, but looks like we will be together for awhile. Great job apple. Yeah & of course I brought the Apple Pencil too. Learning both together.
