    I wanted something smaller in size and more compact so I could take it places I go and the iPad mini does just that. It was an excellent choice for me since I already have a iPhone 16 Pro max with the bigger screen. In reality I just needed something to read emails, respond back to texts while at home or to do a quick internet search. This is a perfect size iPad for anyone looking for a compact device, this would be great on airplane trips you can watch movies and listen to podcasts on it.

    I got the iPad 10th gen first, thinking I'd be okay with the size and A15 chip. The price of the mini is steep, and that may deter you from buying this but if you're looking for a smaller iPad, if you want a processor that can get things done a little faster with the A17 Pro chip, and if you want the pencil support, this is the device you need. Yes, the price is a little more expensive, and that is a negative for sure. But the device itself is worth the cost and once you use the mini in person you'll realize how great of a device this is.

    Love this little iPad with all the features I need. It’s lightweight and easy to travel with. Has lots of accessories available per personal choice. Love this iPad for Netflix viewing, working on my projects while traveling. Only downside is battery runs down fast.

    Worthy Upgrade over iPad Mini 5

    The A17 Pro really gives a big performance boost over the iPad mini 5, and the larger screen size makes it much better for reading books, mangas, and magazines. And the subtle purple really looks great.

    I recently went on a trip that involved two 14 hour flights and a lot of time spent in the airports. Having this to read books on helped pass the time without having to worry about draining my phone battery. The battery for this, so far has been great.

    Sleek Little Mini

    The store didn’t have the color I wanted but ordering it was incredibly easy. The mini is larger than I wanted but has all the power and quality of any idevice. The camera is sharp and clear, set up was a breeze. If this is your first device since they ditched the home button you will struggle. I’ve been using the touch accommodation button for years and even *I* keep reaching for that vanished home button! If you have a lot of lightning plug peripherals, the switch to usb-c is a pain, but the upgrades to the cord and the unexposed connector threads are worth it.
