    I love my new iPad mini. It replaced my old iPad mini 2. I love the purple color and the upgrades in this new device. It was so simple to use my old iPad mini and upload the old info and photos into the new iPad mini. It also fits in my old pad cover which I had made in leather and is still in great shape.

    Perfect for my needs. Email, online shopping and a few games are all I need but i have found a few more interesting APPS to try. The battery life is good and the iPad is very light to carry. There is a slight learning curve with me being used to the round HOME button on the iPad’s front screen, but not enough of a problem to be bothered by.

    I chose the new mini over the ipad air. The size is great. It is convenient for reading books, gaming and many other items. Storage is definitely something to consider. The ipadOS and system data take up about 12gb right off the top. The screen is above average for clarity and brightness. If you do not NEED the extra screen size and you are looking for a really quick, solid, modern tablet for mayn multimedia needs/wants...this is a great tablet.

    I’m gonna be honest here. This is probably the best and most practical iPad to have ever been released to date by Apple. The power, screen, battery, size, EVERYTHING. It all is perfect. I don’t have a single complaint! This iPad combined with a case and Apple Pencil creates the perfect balance of entertainment and function. 10/10!!

    I absolutely LOVE the iPad mini. It is so compact it fits in my purse and I take it everywhere. The battery holds well, the pencil charges on the side, and the Touch ID on the top is so efficient. I HIGHLY recommend this product :)

    Solid tablet and good size for consuming content. Easy to hold in one hand. the 64gb is only good for viewing/streaming content + online perusing. if you want some sort of productivity or intent on using this for anything else than streaming and clicking websites and the basics, upgrade to a 256GB model.

    Love this little baby! The screen looks amazing and it’s so much lighter than my very old mini 2. I expected the battery to last longer, but I’m not taking a star off for that. I love the new Touch ID and there are some very cool features with the new iOS. As a bonus, setup was a breeze. Lastly, the purple color is darker than the iPhone 12 purple but equally as lovely.

    I bought this iPad for work originally but with the size it makes it perfect to carry around everywhere so now I also use it for my daily use whenever I don’t want to carry around my 12.9 inch iPad. It is super fast and I’m able to be productive and the audio and video quality is just as you would expect from this type of product. I would recommend to anyone looking into buying an iPad that’s looking for something portable, and powerful.

    I love this iPad. The size is perfect - not too big, not too small. The starlight color is beautiful. It has enough ram and power to do everything without lag.

    This iPad is super super cute and very convenient to travel with. It’s super tiny and a really fast device. This literally fits in my pocket. It’s compadable with the Apple Pencil 2nd generation which I’m super happy about. It also has a long battery life. I would recommend buying this.

    I love the Mini 6! Even though it's a little larger, the Mini is the perfect size and is lightweight. It has so many features and is "user friendly." I have started personalizing my Mini 6 and am looking forward to searching the Bookstore. I was hesitant about the price, but it is a great purchase.

    It was a gift to my mom as a promotional congratulations. She's an older woman who's more use to a android system. She's uses it for her job, email, Microsoft office. I would say it took so getting use to for her but the first reaction of opening it up on christmas was priceless. It came as described and worked well for her liking. It now needs repair due to a crack initiated by younger sibling who enjoys playing her Roblox and games.

    As an owner of an iPad Pro since they first launched, I never really saw a need to own *another* iPad. I mean, you have your phone for everything portable, and the big iPads to do more serious stuff. However, I found that as time went on, another device needed to fill in the gap for things that needed a bigger screen yet still needed to be more portable. Enter the iPad Mini. I found the Mini to be a perfect use case for me in terms of jotting notes down - don't get me wrong I can type out a pretty big list of things on my phone, but using the Apple Pencil and an app like Notability make for a great experience as a way to organize and maintain notes. This could be interpreted as just a really expensive notebook, yes. In other factors, I have found that the mini performs just like any other iPad. The screen is pretty good, though not as good as the amazing miniLED display of my iPad Pro 12.9", but still good, and the stereo speakers are pretty good. The "jelly" scroll effect that you hear about for me is not something that bothers me, as I am mostly writing instead of scrolling up and down all the time. The only slight weakness I have found is the battery life, but that is an acceptable tradeoff given its size. If I had to, I definitely could use this for normal iPad duty - watching TV/movies , email, internet, etc.

    When it comes to tablets, you simply can't beat Apple. I got this for my wife and she absolutely loves it. Everything is top notch quality and it can handle whatever you throw at it with ease. The size and weight make bringing this along with you anywhere a breeze and the quality is typical Apple. It feels solid and performs without any issues. I am glad I got this for my wife, because she absolutely loves it

    I have owned this iPad since January 2023, prior to that I used the iPad Air. The mini has been much nicer for me to use. I am petite so the mini is just the right size. It’s been great using it for school work and taking notes as well as scrolling social media. I find myself reaching for it much more than I did when I had the iPad Air
