    I traded in my Ipad air for the mini and it was the best decision!! Battery life is so much better than the air,the size feels much more comfortable and travel friendly and has a better processor.

    Love it! the size makes everything just better than using my phone. And even find myself on it more than my 13in iPad for normal daily usage. I’ve had iPads over the years but find myself using this one the most. Battery has taken a dip since ios26 but I know they will get that worked out.

    Great Apple device! The normal iPad is cheaper but sometimes getting the right size matters. Another perfect Apple device. Let's hope they will provide software updates for years to come.

    I enjoyed this item. The screen frooze and the item became unusable the first week I had it. Apple was able to repair it as I had apple pay and it was so close to the purchase time. Best buy also offered to replace it as well. Once repaired, I have had no issues. It's been a few months since then. I also enjoy that it turns on immediately when charging. Fits in my pocket to.

    A Wonderful and Powerful Little Tablet

    This tablet has been a treat to use. I bought a small keyboard case for it that has magnets on it, so it essentially turns it into a little laptop. With a mouse, you're set up for any task you would use a computer for. It is also small enough to slip into any small bag. I have liked it so much that it convinced me to switch to an Appke product for my main laptop as well.

    Small upgrade over the mini 6. The mini is, in my opinion, the best format for travel and general use - easy to carry, fits in anything. I use it mostly for streaming and light web browsing, but the main reason I have a mini is it's great for travel.
