    The Perfect I-Pad

    This IPad has the perfect specs! It has an A15 chipset with 6 cores for cpu & 5 for gpu, & it has 4 GBS of ram. The screen is 500 nits has hdr, true tone and supports apple pencil 1 & 2. The cameras are both 12MP front and back! It even has a flash & center stage. There are 4 speakers & it’s louder than the iPad 10th generation. The IPad Mini 6 uses USBC charging, & the battery last a solid 10 hours! My personal favorites about this IPad are the screen size, portability, and ease of use. This iPad should be supported for quite sometime as it has the same chipset as the 2022 Iphone 14s. The iPad Mini 6 is really fast, and using it for work, education, streaming, music is the perfect device! I like that I can disconnect from my phone and just use my ipad mini for calls, facetime and if a moment pops up I can still capture great photos! People complain 64GBS is not enough, get icloud storage! My ipad mini has alot on it, but not everything is saved! If your debating what ipad to get right now, I would choose the mini 6 over the ipad 9 anyday! Yes it cost more, but you are getting so much more for your money! Plus the added upgrades, features, & longevity! I hope my review helps someone! You can also edit photos built in! Just use your apple pencil!

    I love my iPad mini! It is easy to operate and a perfect size for me. Easy to hold and I bought this cute cover for it! The battery is long lasting on this one and the screen is great. I take it with me everywhere. You will not regret this buy.

    My iPad Mini is the best thing I have ever bought

    I absolutely adore this tiny iPad. I've been using it for two weeks now and it's by far one of my favorite purchases from Apple (+ the Apple Pencil). I needed something portable yet reliable for this semester as a lot of my work is digital worksheets and the desks in the lecture halls are ridiculously small. The size is perfect for me. I can have my book open with my iPad either next to it or on top of it and not feel overwhelmed. I also share a room with my sister so it saves up so much space on my desk! It's also super cute and it's so light that it feels like nothing in my backpack. Personally, I feel like the iPad Mini is perfect if you already have an Apple product to go along with it (for me it's my Macbook Air). For example, I can have zoom on my Mini while I do the assignments on my computer or vice versa. But sometimes, I find myself just using my Mini's double app feature instead of my Macbook, LOL (Goodnotes & Microsoft OneNote are my bffs this semester). If you're on the fence between the iPad Mini, iPad Air, or iPad Pro, choose the mini if: 1) You want something that doesn't take up space and is super light 2) You have another device (laptop) to go along with it 3) You want something cute Oh, one thing I forgot to mention. It's perfect to play Genshin Impact on! :)

    I always struggled to find a comfortably sized iPad over the years that wasn’t too big or too close to laptop size, but I also wanted something larger than my phone. The new iPad Mini lands perfectly in my desired size. The display is color accurate, processor is fast, and the Starlight finish beautiful!

    Received sooner than predicted, which was an awesome surprise. Not even 24hrs out of box and so far so good. Small/compact..,,comfortable/perfect. Can hold in one hand without a problem. I can see myself taking this everywhere/ like a daily planner. Need more time to get to know my new mini tab, but looks like we will be together for awhile. Great job apple. Yeah & of course I brought the Apple Pencil too. Learning both together.

    I bought this as a business tool to help keep me organized. It does what I need it to do. Works nicely with the Apple Pencil. One thing is how small everything is on web but I zoom in with no problem. Not a big deal. No web lag or at least I’m not noticing. All in all it’s a perfect iPad and nice upgrade from the iPad mini 4.

    Love iPads and this mini is no different. Great size as we got it for reading ebooks. Of course, it does all of the other things just as well as a larger iPad but do note that this has no Face ID as there is no front facing camera and uses Touch ID on the top power button. The weight is less than an iphone12 pro for reference. A great throw it in your purse or beach bag size.

    What a lovely little tool. I like using this for my planner on the go, a sketchbook, a smaller screen to watch/listen to videos and podcasts on while I work. It’s honestly amazing :)

    The iPad mini 6 is an amazing little device. It’s just the perfect size, speakers sound great, and I love that I can hold it in one hand. To me, the regular sized iPad is just too big. If I’m gonna use something that big, I’d rather just use a laptop or even a desktop. I waited until Otterbox released a Defender Pro case for this bad boy. It took a few months, but it was worth the wait. Now I can throw my iPad mini 6 into my backpack and not worry about ever possibly damaging it. Oh, and for the record, I think the Starlight color is the best! Worth every penny!

    I love this iPad! I use it mainly around the house for general Contant consumption and for small, creative projects like doodling or light journaling. It’s the perfect size to be productive and enjoyable. Reading is one of my favorite things to do on this iPad. This size is so close to that of a book, but much less cumbersome than an actual book. The sound quality of the speakers is pleasantly surprising. I get a full sound without any distortion. It’s great for casually listening to music and watching videos and movies. Battery life is pretty nice as well. I can get a couple hours of use over the course of about three days before I have to charge it, and since I use my MacBook charger, it charges very quickly. All in all, it’s an extremely versatile tablet. That is an absolute joy to use!

    I really love this iPad mini because it is not as heavy as a regular iPad and it fits in all my purses! I also paired it with the Apple Pencil which makes it perfect for note taking. The battery life also holds up great. I left it idle for about a week (without turning it off) and it was still at 88% charge (for reference, my notification sounds were muted). Great purchase at a discounted price too!

    So glad I purchased this device from Best Buy for the best bargain. It’s in perfect condition and came right in time for Christmas. This is the second iPad mini I’ve purchased this year, the first for myself and the latter for my kids. It’s the perfect size and capacity for their needs and mine. Also glad I can always visit the Geek Squad or Genius Bar if I have any questions or need help with anything!

    Love this iPad mini 6th gen. I had an iPad Air for a couple of years that was great but I traded it in for this smaller size and love how much easier it is to hold/read on my kindle app with. The starlight color is my favorite.

    Initially I thought the ipad mini was a little too small for my schoolwork, but as I continued to use it it has really grown on me. The size is perfect for travel and not too bulky. With that I am also allowed to comfortably play games for a extended peroid eithoit too much fatigue as well.
