    This device is tiny but it worked as if it were to be an iPad bro to be honest. I took this everywhere with me as my own little travel mini TV. I would watch Netflix and my favorite shows here and take it anywhere. It’s so efficient, fast and it fits in almost everything and it’s very lightweight. I totally recommend this for anybody who likes to travel a lot, and I love to watch shows!!! Hello in one of the pictures I posted I put the mini iPad next to a photo card so you can see the time difference!!!

    This iPad mini is so useful! I carry it back and forth to work and home all the time. It’s fast, lightweight, and it’s easy to use. If you wanna be more creative and productive get yourself one of these. Unless Apple forges a small personal robot straight from Mount Olympus that lives in my wallet - I’ll stick with my iPad mini!

    I recently upgraded to the latest iPad Mini, and it's nothing short of impressive. The A15 Bionic chip ensures smooth performance, whether I'm multitasking or diving into graphic-intensive apps. The 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display delivers vibrant colors and sharp details, making it a joy for both work and entertainment. The compact size is a game-changer for portability, fitting snugly into my bag without compromising screen real estate. The USB-C connectivity is a welcome addition, making data transfer faster and more convenient. The battery life has been reliable, keeping up with my daily tasks without a hitch. The upgraded camera quality adds versatility, capturing clear photos and facilitating seamless video calls. The Touch ID on the power button is quick and responsive, ensuring a secure yet hassle-free unlocking experience. In summary, the latest iPad Mini combines power and portability effortlessly, making it a top-tier choice for anyone on the go. It has become an integral part of my daily routine, and I highly recommend it.

    I needed some thing to use to watch anime or read manga. Way easier to just grab on the go than a MacBook or an iPhone. I think it’s the perfect size it’s like a book in the palm of your hand. Great sound. Great picture. Can’t believe it’s a 2021 model

    I have the 12 and 11 inch newest version as well. They are great for watching a movie. But, this is perfect to catch a quick glimpse of the news, respond to a message and much less bulky in your backpack. Fits perfectly in you hand as well.

    The size is great it's not heavy at all and it fits in a purse. If you are someone who travels a lot but does not need it to work it is the iPad to choose. Either way, if you need to work a little bit it still works perfectly well.

    The iPad mini 6 is a great tablet. It's small, portable, and powerful. It also has a great display, camera, and battery life. If you're looking for a small tablet, the iPad mini 6 is the best option on the market. Pros: Compact and portable design Sharp and colorful display Powerful A15 Bionic chip Great cameras Excellent battery life Cons: Jelly scrolling effect can be noticeable iPadOS can be limiting on a smaller screen

    The size of the iPad mini is really great and perfect for media consumption and the main reason I sprung the extra cash to purchase it. It has become a great companion for YouTube, Twitch etc. alongside my laptop and phone while working from home. Pros: excellent build quality, excellent and loud speakers, bight clear screen, lots of accessories options. Cons: none at the moment! I am an avid Android phone user, but the specs of Android tablets at this size are sub-par. Everything on the iPad mini works as it should. I am very happy with it and can see it lasting for several years as a lot of Apple products seem to.

    Very happy to have an ipad mini again! They have improved so much since the last minis. I switched from the rose gold ipad air 4gen to this! The size is so much better to use on the go & color matches my iPhone 13! Im very happy, if you’re on the fence just get it!

    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).
