    I needed something larger than a smart phone mainly to improve my reading of downloaded books. This unit, iPad mini, has the screen resolution to render sharp text at any font size, it self-adjusts display brightness for the ambient light, the display has True Tone and Night Shift lighting modes that are easier on the eyes for reading, and is very light weight with a perfect screen size. Of course the unit also works great for viewing video, color graphics, games, etc. The iPad mini has wonderful color graphics. My unit has WIFI only (no cell phone). I bought it on sale .

    Absolutely the perfect size to fit in my wife’s many purses. She loves the purple color and flat edges.

    Over 20 of my cousins are apple users and communicate through the apple messenger. Apparently, the message thread gets all wonky in the group chats because I’m using an android phone. I got booted out of the chat group last year. I decided to purchase the iPad mini because of the size which is extremely convenient for on the go. It fits in some of my coat pockets. The screen quality and camera are great. Good battery life. The touch sensor button to access the tablet is smooth and simple. It did take a few days to get used to the devices since I’ve been using android over the past 13 years. The only con for me is the limited customization available for the home screen. One reason why I’m sticking with android cellphone. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase. Awesome device. Funny part is that still haven’t joined my cousins’ group chat.

    Excellent little device whether it's your first apple device or adding another one! It's small, light, and excellent screen, although I wish it was 120 Hz but that's only on the iPad Pro models. I take this to the gym to watch it on the treadmill and love it :) It has TouchID and not FaceID so make sure to check all the specs before you buy. Overall, very satisfied with it and highly recommend.

    Powerful, small and mighty latest iPad mini version. With its A15 processor this one is future proof. Super fast, excellent screen resolution and response time. Very light and great ergonomics. A little pricey but with some financing from Best Buy card, I Love it

    My on the go editing companion

    I got this because I needed a great way to edit photos away from home, but I also wanted it to be able to fit inside my camera bag. This does both. If you're on the run and looking for an easy way to edit your images, this will absolutely fit the bill. The size is far bigger than my phone, but not so huge that it doesn't fit where I need to keep it. Adobe Lightroom runs very well on it and with a few important settings changes, it acts as a perfect extension of editing on my desktop, seamlessly importing all my edits as soon as I sign back in at the computer! The lower storage capacity of this model has not been an issue because of how I am using it, but if you are storing a lot of images on the device, it may become an issue.

    iPad Mini 6 is awesome!

    The ipad Mini 6 is the perfect form factor for reading ebooks, casual browsing, basic banking, and general media consumption. I love that the screen is much larger than my iPhone screen, but I can still hold the device with one hand. It’s a very portable device that easily fits in my bag when I travel. My only gripe is I wish the battery lasted longer. Many people complain about jelly scrolling but I don’t notice it at all. Best Buy’s trade-in program is awesome if you have an old iPad laying around. Highly recommend the iPad Mini

    I upgraded from a iPad mini 2gen to the 6 gen so clearly there’s a big difference. It’s much faster and the camera is clearer. I got it in pink which is nice. Something new from silver or black. I love it.

    iPad Mini 2021 Model Great buy

    This is a wonderful iPad as I upgraded from a 2017 iPad Pro Gen1. The chip and processing is noticeably different when watching videos and playing games in Apple Arcade. I am thoroughly impressed with reading Kindle and using the Libby app (Main reason I went with Mini). I have noticed the lag on scrolling some webpages, but I don't use this as my main way to scroll/browse the internet. Overall I am very happy with the newer iPad upgrade and would recommend to someone who enjoys using their iPad as a reader more than anything else.

    *submitting this for a chance at a $400 gift card*. It's an iPad...but it's smol! Apple sorcery has done it again, like Willy Wonka and the chocolate bar, shrunk the un-shrinkable! In all seriousness, this is a great product. ESPECIALLY if you have ...Android using family members...*shivers* watching your house and everything is controlled via HomeKit! Makes it much easier for them to use the TV, and not sit in the dark. 10/10 would recommend. *buy a screen protector. Those Android users historically aren't very kind to their phones, and you'd hate to come home to working lights, but a broken $400 iPad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I recently got my hands on the new Apple iPad mini 6 and I'm absolutely loving it! It's become essential to my everyday workflow, both for work and pleasure. The portability of the device is great - I can take it anywhere without worrying about the bulk that comes with other tablets. The display quality is also superb, with a sharp display that brings my content to life. The battery life is also very impressive, easily lasting the whole day without needing to be recharged. It's truly a device I can rely on for all of my needs! All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend the iPad mini 6 to anyone looking for a powerful yet lightweight tablet experience.

    I bought as gift they love it. It is a Apple and all things good and bad that come with. More good as usual. Build quality outstanding performance is well tuned as Apple creates a hardware/software environment that is well balanced. Android offers no similar in size compitition that I can really compare in build and even more performance. Bigger than a phone and smaller than traditional tablet. If that fits your need and iPadOS is your thing can't go wrong. I bought for $399 great price.

    I upgraded to this model from an older iPad Mini. I really like that this one has the capabilities to attach the pencil to the side for storage and charging. I’m not sure how much the display was upgraded from my older model, but I think it looks very nice. The camera is definitely an upgrade though. Overall, I chose this iPad because it’s smaller than the other models, but it doesn’t seem to lack any functions of the Air (the other model I was considering). If screen size is not an issue, I would choose the Mini over the Air. The battery life is also very good, I was able to watch movies almost an entire 12 hour flight. Highly recommend.

    While purchasing this was an open box product, but works perfectly fine and no complaints. It looks and works as a new product. It had a scratch on the screen, but it is not visible, and very handy to use this product.

    Purchased this on a bit of a whim to leverage for some work related items, however I really love this device. We have a recent model iPad Air, however the ease of use with the mini (size is perfect) is a major plus. Also purchased the Apple Pencil (version 2) and it makes an excellent addition to the flexibility and portability of the iPad Mini. Great performance as well. Only downside, and I am not going to take a star away as I expected this going in, but the video refresh when scrolling quickly is noticeably slower than some of the higher end device screens, but that was a known quantity when making this purchase.

    Perfect size for note taking. Very portable and light compared to regular sized ipads. Huge upgrade from the last gen ipad mini. For the base price, the performance far exceeds anything you can buy at that price point.
