Customer Ratings & Reviews

Transitioning away from (Android) smartphones, I bought this to supplement my new dumb phone. It’s small and light enough to fit in my bag easily and carry everywhere I go. The square edges help with grip. I don’t feel like the device is going to slip out of my hands, unlike some glass smartphones I’ve had in the past, and I’m comfortable going without a case for now. USB-C port is great. Honestly wouldn’t have considered this device if it still used Lightning. In terms of software, there are a few features I miss coming from Android to iPadOS (e.g., temporarily dismissing an alarm before it goes off), but Shortcuts and Automations make up for most of them. Happy with my purchase. Have yet to try any accessories, but I’m seriously considering getting at least an Apple Pencil down the line.

This ipad operates faster than the previous generation and the excellent screen quality of the mini makes it great for watching videos.

I bought this device to be an easy note-taking solution for my job. I find the super compact size and the amazing new Apple Pencil make a great combination. With the M processor it’s super fast and easy to use.

Nice Ipad,just the right size,has AI,screen is crystal clear. Fast chip makes this a no brainier.

If you are the target audience for an iPad mini, there is nothing not to love for this 7th gen compared to any prior versions. Sure, it has the same design and body as the 6th gen, but as the other reviewer already said, you get double the memory, double the storage, and essentially the same chip as the iPhone 15 pro. What's not to love for the same $499 starting price?

I had a mini 6th Gen before this (essentially the same) but I decided to upgrade due to the now 128 GB option and the upgraded chip! I use this to casual game and catch up on tv shows/movies, so the extra space is worth it. With Best Buys great trade in option & discounts, I got it for an amazing price! If you want something that's light, easy to take with (can fit easily in a backpack, purse or carry on) and top quality.. this is it! Excited to see what apple continues to do with the mini series... would love to see a "pro" mini option! (upgraded sound, graphics, chip, etc).

I have the original iPad mini from 2014-2015, and I finally decided to upgrade because too many apps wouldn't update anymore. The iPad mini has served me well as an e-reader and easy to transport device when I need something bigger than my phone. It's a nice size for watching videos on the go and can even serve as a working tablet in a pinch, though I prefer a 13-inch screen (MacBook Air) for everyday work.

I purchased this iPad mini to replace the previous version simply for more storage space. I was surprised it was not as easy to set up from my other device, as setups usually are. I worked around it and got everything set up manually. Not sure what happened, but it’s all good now. The color is so light, you can barely tell it’s purple. Wish the color was a little deeper. I was able to use the cover from my previous device, happy about that. Battery seems to last a couple days so far with light use. I’ll see how it goes as I use it more. No complaints, just a slight upgrade.

This product is everything I wanted and more. The iPad mini is perfectly sized, and light. I mainly use it for reading, preaching, and conference presentations and it is very easy to use.

Perfect to do what needs to be done. Having the capacity to fit just about anywhere, I don’t even touch my phone while at home. I’ve only owned this lil guy for a few weeks and love it. Larger than a phone, I love watching news, reading articles, and watching movies all throughout my home. The image is impeccable and the sound is great. You just gotta love Apple.

"I love this tablet! It's just what I was looking for: fast, light and with a spectacular screen. A purchase of 10!"

Great iPad good for people bringing it on the go and even for mini multitasking, best starter iPad and has cool features for the price recommend to anyone, not to mention has good battery life for a small iPad.

I had the M4 11-inch iPad Pro and while I miss the display and 120hz refresh rate, the size of the iPad Mini makes this the device that I find myself using when I'm on the go. The a17 Pro chip and 8gb of ram make the mini an incredibly capable device. The only thing that would replace this for me is an iPad Mini PRO with the specs of the M4 Pro - just bite-sized. As it is, the Mini is the best tablet on the market.

I do everything from light e-book reading to game playing on this and am not in the least unhappy with it. High quality, good performance, decent battery life, great screen. What's not to like?

Absolutely love it! Great color and great quality the mini is the perfect size, especially for travel. I’ve always wanted one and finally got it! Have been happy with it ever since I bought it.

Great for occasional use and easy to carry! Very lightweight and fits everywhere

One of the most versatile iPads ever created. Small enough to take anywhere but powerful enough to handle almost anything. The iPad mini is great at multitasking and has the battery life to watch full movies anywhere. I love using it to jot notes with my Apple Pencil or doodle in procreate. Reading books with Apple Books or the Nook or kindle apps is really nice and intuitive having the ability to use all three versus a proprietary tablet using only one.

This iPad is absolutely amazing from its sleek design to manageable handling the frame is great and easy to hold and operate just the perfect size for my hand and it performs above its class I love it

iPad works great kids loved that it was smaller than the 12.9 they been using

The ipad Mini 7 is super cool—small enough to carry everywhere but still crazy fast. The screen is sharp, games and videos look awesome, and it never feels slow.
