    Still Best iPad for Portability.

    Best iPad at its truest form for size and portability. Wish Apple would’ve made the bezels smaller and added at least 90hrz but adding the A17Pro chipset is 1000% improvement.

    Perfect for you if you: • Want a highly portable device for reading, streaming, travel, or quick note‑taking. • Prefer powerful performance in a compact form for light creative apps or casual gaming. • Plan to use Apple Pencil Pro for sketches or annotations on the go. skip if you want: • A bigger canvas for multitasking, typing, or heavy video/photo editing. • A ProMotion display (120 Hz) for ultra‑smooth scrolling or drawing.

    Mini 7 is just a Mini 6 + newer system on a chip.

    The iPad Mini 7th Generation is almost identical to the 6th gen, but with one key addition: Apple Intelligence. If you’re into note-taking, reading, and writing with the Apple Pencil Pro, this is a near-perfect handheld device. It fits comfortably in your hand, making it great for casual use and light web browsing. Just don’t expect it to replace your gaming iPad, its not for that. For pure readers, though, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature is still the best choice. The e-ink display is unbeatable for long reading sessions. I grabbed mine with a price-match and a trade in my base model Mini 6. If you already own a 6th gen and it’s running smoothly, you’re probably fine sticking with it unless you really need Apple Intelligence to take your productivity up a notch in 2025. Otherwise wait for the 8th edition which will have a better screen. I give it 4 stars since I can’t tell much difference over my Mini 6.

    Purchased my iPad Mini from Best Buy and couldn’t be happier. Best Buy made the entire process smooth—from easy online ordering to fast pickup. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure I got the best deal. The iPad Mini itself is incredibly powerful, lightweight, and perfect for everyday use. Thanks to Best Buy’s excellent service and competitive pricing, I’ll definitely be shopping here again. Highly recommend both the product and Best Buy!

    I recently purchased an excellent condition open-box iPad mini from Best Buy, and I'm very pleased with the experience. The device arrived in great condition, with no real signs of prior use. It functions perfectly, and the setup was seamless. The battery life is strong, and the display quality is sharp and vibrant. Overall, it feels like new, and I’m happy with the value I received for the price. A solid 5-star purchase.

    The iPad mini is super portable and surprisingly powerful, making it great for on-the-go tasks like reading or sketching. However, the smaller screen might not be ideal for heavy multitasking or detailed work, and the price can be a bit steep compared to other tablets. Overall, it's a fantastic choice if you value the portability.

    I wanted a smaller form factor that had similar capabilities as my 2024 iPad Air. This is it. Beautiful display. This is the WiFi version and connects easily and steadily to hotspots. Easy to use with onboard keyboard and Bluetooth. Software update is seamless. Nice to download movies before traveling and watch on flights. I love it!

    Exactly what I wanted and needed for work, and school. Absolutely loved the deal that was offered and the product arrived quickly! It works fantastic. Very quick, and easy to use, and the battery life is actually very good! I spent an entire day coloring in a coloring book, and taking notes on it off and on, and I had maybe 76% battery left, which is actually incredible for me lol

    I had been eyeing the iPad mini for a while and finally pulled the plug on it. I don’t regret it. I love the size! I thought it was going to be too small, but it’s just right for reading, carrying in my purse and when I travel.

    I upgraded from my Mini 6 to Mini A17. Got excellent trade in value. It has been less than a month since I got the A17 and has been great so far. I had used my Mini 6 for about 2 years, did all my college work on it and that was awesome. Mini A17 is the almost same product, but better. :-)

    The iPad mini is basically what you’d expect from Apple in a tiny package — it feels premium, light, and way more fun to use than you might think just hearing the name. It’s one of those devices where you pick it up and just enjoy holding it.
