    I bought this even after using the iPad Pro models for years. This is by far by favorite iPad to date. It's perfect for multitasking even in it's smaller footprint. It's fast, smooth, and power efficient. I absolutely love taking notes with the Apple Pencil paired with this iPad mini. It feels more paper/notebook like writing on this over the larger iPads. I even enjoy editing videos using Lumafusion on the iPad mini for my channel over at YouTube.com/drewlipps. The overall experience is solid and I'd highly recommend this iPad to many!

    I bought this as a gift and by the time it was opened it was past the return date. Brand new, out of the box, it will not turn on. All I get is a green or blue bar/box across the screen or it is totally black. Very upsetting for an Apple product and one that is this expensive.

    This mini ipad rocks. I love it so much that I bought 2 of them. Super fast, super bright, charges in 1 hour to full. I can multitask well with this one. It holds in your hands well. Everything about it is perfect. I traded in my 4 other old mini ipads and my old apple air ipad to buy 3 more iPads at best buy during the apple event. They gave me exactly the same amount of money for the trades in as what I paid for them back in 2020 since I bought those used on ebay. I'm super impressed. This one by far beats the last 5 generations hands down. Highly recommend. Bestbuy rocks. Better deals than Amazon. I had no idea that bestbuy trades in stuff until I got an alert from the bestbuy app. Very cool. I almost missed this event as it is only for 3 days for a higher trade in amount than normal. Thanks!!

    really amazing purchase. Ths ipad is lighter than a cell phone, excellent quality, amazing for reading, playing games, and even doing a little work on the side. I love to have it propped up while I cook (for recipes), or facetime my family. On the size: it is big enough to enjoy watching a movie in bed with wonderful clarity and sound, has long charge time, is super easy for reading and doesnt hurt my eyes if I use it for hours. Easy enough to pop into a purse and take with you on the go, and connects to your iphone so you can sync your devices. This is like having a mini mac with you, but not so small that it's your phone and so big that you're hauling a brick around. It's compatible with a 2nd gen pencil if you like to doodle or draw. I don't have a case on mine and its super durable. 11/10 recommend this. i got mine in starlight - its a lovely color, not quite silver or even gold. big fan, no regrets, almost bought 2!!

    The 6th Generation iPad mini is a compact powerhouse that’s perfect for both work and play. Its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display delivers stunning visuals, and the A15 Bionic chip ensures smooth performance for everything from gaming to multitasking. The 12MP front camera with Center Stage makes video calls a breeze, keeping you in frame as you move. The rear 12MP camera captures crisp photos and 4K videos. USB-C connectivity and support for the 2nd generation Apple Pencil make this iPad mini incredibly versatile. Though the 64GB storage might be a bit tight for some users, its lightweight design and long battery life make it a fantastic companion for on-the-go tasks and entertainment.

    My favorite iPad, the 8 inch display is great for portability (about the size of a sketchbook) and it’s compatible with the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) which makes it a great choice for artists who want to draw on the go. It also has a pretty decent battery life for its size and a beautiful display. Top notch quality, I would say it’s the best iPad if portability is important to you.

    This little thing has been running strong for a while now. Easy to use, great parental controls, and the screen size is perfect for being out and about. Super fast, and keeps up with apps fine without lag. Some others have mentioned, but the “jelly scroll” is real, but not as big of a deal as some make it out to be. I’ve only really noticed this when scrolling down a website too quickly, and it looks like straight lines get slanted. It immediately corrects itself when you stop scrolling - and this only occurs on the vertical view, due to the location of the screen attachment to the logic board. Good little device.

    A fantastic iPad very fast processor and the display excellent. I was in need of a smaller iPad for when I travel and this is exactly what I had in mind. I wear cargo style pants a lot and this fits in a pocket like it was made for them. Very thin and light weight. So for the battery seems to last a long time. Very Happy with my purchase.

    The iPad mini is perfect for gaming and reading! It’s super portable, lightweight, and the display is crisp and vibrant. Games run smoothly without lag, and it’s the ideal size for holding in one hand while reading. I’ve been using it for eBooks, Apple Arcade, and even some light note-taking. The battery holds up well even with extended use. Highly recommend for anyone who wants power in a compact size.

    A Compact, Yet Aging Powerhouse

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The iPad Mini is still a great device, especially for those who prefer a compact form factor without compromising on power. Its sleek design, portability, and strong performance make it ideal for reading, browsing, and even light creative work. The A15 Bionic chip under the hood ensures that it can handle most apps with ease, offering a snappy and responsive experience. However, as much as the iPad Mini holds its ground, it’s starting to feel a little outdated. The last update was back in 2021, and while it still performs well, it lacks some of the newer features and improvements seen in more recent iPads, such as improved displays, enhanced cameras, and more advanced connectivity options. Overall, the iPad Mini is still a reliable tablet, but an update would be welcomed to keep it more competitive in today’s market.

    In the ever-evolving tech cosmos, Apple's iPad Mini truly sets itself apart. The device, despite its "mini" moniker, packs a formidable punch in terms of performance and features, giving its Android counterparts a spirited run for their money. The iPad Mini stands out with its nimble A15 Bionic chip, which makes every swipe, click, or scroll incredibly fluid and quick. With the addition of iPadOS, the user experience takes on a seamless, almost telepathic quality. This dynamic combination proves that Apple is far from resting on its laurels. The Mini's vibrant and crisp Retina Display gifts users with stunning visuals. Whether streaming movies or multitasking, the display never misses a beat. The solid battery life further cements its spot as a reliable everyday companion. One glaring omission, however, is the lack of cellular connectivity. Being restricted to Wi-Fi can be limiting for users who wish to remain connected on-the-go. This is an area where some Android tablets may edge out the iPad Mini. The open-box condition, surprisingly, didn't affect the product’s functionality. In fact, it functioned remarkably well, proving Apple's commitment to quality. In conclusion, the iPad Mini, with its unrivaled user experience and spectacular performance, is a substantial upgrade over many Android tablets. With future iterations, one can hope that cellular connectivity becomes a standard feature. For now, it continues to be an excellent tablet, offering a premier Apple experience in a pocket-friendly size.

    I upgraded from an iPad mini 5 to the 6 in purple, and I love it! I’m happy that it still has Touch ID, and the improved features such as faster speeds, usb-c charging, longer battery life, smaller borders, and better camera made this iPad mini a must buy for me. Plus I love the color purple, so that really sealed the deal! Great job with the color selections Apple!

    A Compact Companion for Quick Notes and On-the-Go

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As someone who already owns the larger 11-inch iPad Pro, I was initially skeptical about the iPad Mini's capabilities. However, after using it for a while, I've come to appreciate its unique advantages, especially when it comes to quick notes and portability. Let me share my experience with you. Compact Size, Big Convenience: The first thing that struck me about the iPad Mini is its compact size. Compared to my iPad Pro, it's significantly smaller and lighter, making it perfect for carrying around in my bag or even slipping into a pocket. Despite its smaller footprint, the iPad Mini still packs a punch when it comes to performance and functionality. Ideal for Quick Notes: One of the main reasons I find myself reaching for the iPad Mini is for quick note-taking. Whether I'm in a meeting, brainstorming ideas, or jotting down reminders, the iPad Mini's size and form factor make it a breeze to use. Its responsive touchscreen and support for the Apple Pencil make it a versatile tool for capturing ideas on the fly. Managing Expectations on Display Quality: While the display quality of the iPad Mini is good, it's essential to manage expectations, especially if you're coming from a larger iPad like the Pro series. The screen is smaller, and the resolution may not be as high, but for everyday tasks like reading emails, browsing the web, or watching videos, it gets the job done admirably. Conclusion In conclusion, the iPad Mini may not have all the bells and whistles of its larger counterparts, but it excels in its own right as a compact companion for quick notes and on-the-go tasks. Its small size and portability make it perfect for users who value convenience and mobility. While you may need to manage your expectations when it comes to display quality, the iPad Mini more than makes up for it with its versatility and convenience. If you're looking for a compact tablet that doesn't compromise on performance, the iPad Mini is definitely worth considering.

    So, I bought an iPad from Best Buy, and man, it’s been a game-changer! The display is jaw-dropping, making everything pop with vibrant colors. And let me tell you, this thing is fast! Switching between apps? Piece of cake. And there’s an app for everything! Productivity, creativity, you name it. But wait, there’s more! The battery life is insane, keeping me going all day. It’s so portable, I can take it anywhere without breaking a sweat. Plus, it syncs flawlessly with my other Apple gear. Handoff, baby! And the Best Buy folks were super helpful, making the whole experience a breeze.

    Coming from the 10” iPad Pro, the iPad mini is a nice addition and definitely the more convenient one in terms of easily carrying it and holding in one hand with ease. I’m not saying there anything wrong with the iPad Pro–not at all. It has its pros (pun intended :D) and is still being used, but the mini definitely shines for its size factor and ease of use, and still having the ability to use the  pencil 2. Runs excellent for what I use it for (reading, web surfing, watching YouTube, taking notes). My only two gripes with the iPad mini more so stem from Apple, which are the 1) the base storage is 64gb (that’s ridiculous for the time we’re in) and 2) the 60hz display. Now, it could be said these are minor complaints, and they are. But for the $499 price tag for the base model, I’d say there’s a basis for said complaints. Drop the price to $350 and it makes for a better deal. The iPad mini is on sale at times, so if you’re interested in it; that would be the time to get it. It’s a awesome device, and I look forward to see what the next one will bring.
