Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our ipad mini 2017 was getting slower and with only 16GB of storage it was running out of room for even basic iOS upgrades without offloading apps and clearing as much space as possible so we decided to pick up a newer model. With 4x the storage and a much faster A series chip, what was once slow is now fast again with plenty of room for more. The form factor and build quality is still top notch and iOS runs smoothly once again with a better screen and reproduction.

i was lucky to pick it up in the store and since then this new iPad Mini is a scarce device to get in any store. what i like about it: - it is fast - light weight - easier to hold than the iPad 10-inch - Bluetooth sync easy with non-Apple ear buds - WIFI download / upload speeds are FAST - recommend getting a folio case to protect it

LOVE IT!!!! This is the perfect sized iPad -- can hold with one hand, and it perfect sized for reading a document or book. It is also light so perfect for carrying around. It replaces a first generation iPad Pro, and honestly this is just as fast. 64GB is sufficient for general storage and you can always add a flash drive (via USB C), if you need extra room. This was a homerun by Apple!

Many people will probably be put off by its heft, and the price tag (compared to other tablets). But for the seamless performance on-the-go, it honestly cannot be beat. The size is great, and yea sure I get less options than a laptop, but for a price of a chrome book, you get better performance for simple things you need to do work for (office, email, etc), and for entertainment (vetted games from the appstore, youtube), for a decent battery life. And ya, for its size, it may be a bit heavy, but that’s ok given its battery life and performance.

It does really well what I purchased it for in conjunction with a $25 aftermarket pencil for it. Battery life and display are nice but if it is supposed to have the 120 hertz refresh rate then it is lacking comparison to the Samsung when scrolling through text as it still has the wave happening to it as if it were 60 HZ. And there's nothing special about the speakers other than they have nice volume. For quality, the Samsung tablets still out perform this one.

Love it , easy to set up, very fast, very clear. Perfect size yo carry anywhere and especially for kids.

I really like the size and color of this IPad. It’s not too small but it still fits in my purse easily.

Just as good as expected. Excellent performance, light weight, great size, and design.

Upgraded from the last version of the mini and will not look back! This new mini is a great improvement in design, performance and function. I love the smaller bezels and it's still impossibly thin and light and allows for easy operation in one hand no matter where you are. My favorite use cases for the device are while camping and sitting outside or on the airplane where cramped seats make a laptop practically impossible to use.

Great product as always from apple. Super fast and lightweight. The iOS software could use an update to reflect the new mini but hopefully that will come soon. Some widgets are too small to see comfortably and are bigger on my iPhone. Great ipad for media consumption and easy portability. I ended up returning the 64 gig version and upgrading to the 256 gig as I do photo editing and wanted the extra headroom. Both perform flawlessly.

This is the best tablet on the market if you're looking for something compact. There's not really anything else out there that even competes when it comes to build quality, display and performance at this size. The only real downside with this tablet are the speakers, which sound nice enough for a small tablet, but the volume is pretty quiet. While you're (probably) not going to want to do any really serious work on this thing, it's absolutely wonderful if you're looking for an easy to hold tablet to surf the web, watch some videos and especially read on. It's extra nice if you're a student, as this is about the perfect size for reading pdfs of your text books or using as a note pad.

Let me start by saying, I also own a 12.9" iPad Pro. I bought the Mini 6 to replace an old Mini 2 and my 10.2" iPad. I'm so glad I did. First, the design is great! It's such a great size for when you want something other than your iPhone, but don't want the size or the bulk of the full iPad Pro. I love that it's USB-C, the fingerprint ID works great (I set up thumb and forefinger of both hands so I can activate it no matter what position I'm holding the iPad) and there are little things you may not notice at first too. For example, which button raises and lowers the volume changes depending on the orientation you're holding the iPad in. (in other words, which ever button is facing UP raises the volume) There are times, when I reach for the Mini now as it's such a joy to hold and doesn't get too heavy. It's easily held in one hand, and yet still pairs with my Apple Pencil 2. I also have added it to an arm above my MacBook Air to be able to watch games or TV while I'm on my computer and the smaller form is the perfect size and isn't too bulky or heavy. I couldn't be happier to have added this to my Apple Eco-system and think if you get it, you'll be equally thrilled.

The iPad Mini 6 is the best yet for the Mini Series. This is my 3rd mini and I am amazed by the screen colors, clarity, processor speed and overall functionality packed into this small tablet. Its size makes it easy for travel without losing any functionality or capabilities of larger screen tablet devices.

Overall great product for my needs I have used apple products since the iPod touch 4. I had bought this little iPad for my work. I planned to use it with the Apple Pencil for doing inventory, filling out order forms and etc. the size is small and compact and great for carrying around my business. It is very quick and powerful and the camera is great for scanning barcodes and item iD’s. I love that the pencil attaches to it so I don’t have to carry it around in my pocket all day.

A great portable tablet. I ultimately returned it and got an iPad Air version 5 instead, only because I'm getting older, I need to use reading glasses and it was too much of a strain to use the smaller screen that this tablet has. The Air has a few advantages the come from the faster M1 processor, but I think for 95% of the population, they don't need those features. Almost no one needs a Pro ipad. Otherwise, the experience of the Mini is the same. Screen looks great, it is as fast as you want. If you're used to using your phone for everything, having a screen that has around twice the area as the phone will be a revelation. If you're a computer/ laptop person, the smaller screen might not be enough for you. The Mini is as light as a feather, super thin, it fits in one hand, it fits in your pocket. You can use the latest version of the Apple Pencil with it for sketching and taking notes, correcting photos etc. Most people "recommend" getting the 256GB storage version, but with the ability to store your things (media, files etc) in the cloud and the ubiquity of fast internet, you don't need that storage on the device. Save your money. Mine was an open box in "Excellent" condition. It was literally the same as new, minus the wrap that comes on a new iPad. The battery only had 3 charge cycles on it.

It’s a great tablet for its size. The best way I can put this iPad would a more capable big iPhone with out the ability to make regular phone calls. Great for FaceTime and video calls of all sort. The center stage feature does a great job. It is a bit on the expensive side but that does make it an a lot more capable device. I don’t feel like it held back too much for its size its perfect for quick on the go sessions. If you are planning on doing things like typing, editing and drawing for hours then you are better off with a bigger iPad like the air or pro. I use it as a secondary iPad along with an 11 inch pro. I like this iPad because it nearly as capable as my pro but i can take it with me and not have to worry as much. As I would with my more expensive pro. If u plan on keeping it at home than I would recommend a bigger iPad. This iPad is great for gaming and watching content. If u plan on using this device in your hands more than on a keyboard setup then I definitely recommend this size. Using the bigger iPads primarily in your hands can be a bit difficult. It’s such a fun device with a lot of performance power. The dual speakers are great for the size, no complaint there. I really enjoy this iPad its a great bring a long device and even at home I find myself using it for things like YouTube and reading. I love the fact that I can actually game on it and not have to rely on a Bluetooth controller like my bigger iPad due to the size. If u plan on getting a different tablet in this size category and price is not a factor then its a definite buy. If price is more of an issue I would maybe look at other tablets like Samsung. There is a huge difference in performance so if u need the performance then I recommend saving and looking for a deal because it is definitely worth the investment. I primarily use this iPad for reading, gaming, watching content, taking notes, typing or editing word documents specially when I’m not home.

I love the size and feel of the ipad mini, HOWEVER i cannot get over the fact that it seems apple dropped the ball with this. $500 for the base storage size puts this tablet in such a strange price point. I feel as though they should have released this as an ipad pro mini with a 120hz refresh rate .. but i guess then everyone would buy this and not the pro. It just feels like it is in a weird place to me.

I traded in my older ipad mini 4 (only 32 gb) towards this new mini 6. So I'm familiar with ipad mini usage. This new mini is 64 gb, and wifi only. I doubled my space. Charges must faster and It operates faster with much better battery life. No home button, doesn't bother me because my iphone 12 operates the same. No big learning curve. There are new features internally that I only knew about from Youtube tutorials. I looked at a few tutorials because they each had different new features. Otherwise I would have had no idea. (hmmm, is this a good thing?)

I had a 4-year old mini which was becoming slow with newer apps, so I decide to buy a this new ipad under several recommendations. I expected to be faster, and it is even faster than I expected. External size is almost the same, but it's ligther and the effective screen is bigger. Very responsive. The sound has improved also. Camera is faster and the new apps work like a charm. I'm very satisfied.

Great for note-taking and reading e books, this device is lightweight, easy on the eyes. The battery lasts all day.
