Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this iPad for gaming, switched from using my iPhone to iPad and with the help of the Best Buy team got exactly what I was looking for and needing to upgrade my gaming experience.

Good battery life and nice display. Good for gaming and watching movie

Excellent, as expected. I have yet to be disappointed by Apple's products. My old iPad4 was getting laggy after 7 years (!), so it was time for a new one. I was lucky; it was on sale! It's so fast and so sleek. Once again, a very good buy!

Super fast and lightweight along with all existing apple applications. Transferring my data was super fast and easy. Highly recommend

I love the fact that it is light weight and the screen even though it is small you can still see and use perfectly

Lightning fast, brilliant screen. Speakers are adequately loud for conference calls and FaceTime. Got a keyboard case for versatile productivity. Small form factor travels well. The blue is subtle, almost silver. It has a useful spot in the lineup between my iPhone and MacBook Pro 16.

Equipped with the latest A17 chip it’s definitely fast but the mini prices are going up fast so I don’t buy them at regular price only when they are on sale. I mostly buy the mini for my kids so they can watch and play over the weekend if we don’t have anything planned. It’s pretty durable but we put them in kids proof case anyway. The battery is super good then they go down the hill in three years or so, maybe because of all the updates and bloat ware so they force you to buy another one. They don’t make iPad mini the same quality in my experience, the ones we have now a day definitely dies faster but when you recycle with apple you don’t get any credits or anything! iPad mini though seems to last longer for us then the other models for some reason, hence why we buy the mini. Battery last all day when it’s new so you can play and watch all day but before the year is done it’s not gonna last all day, but remember now my kids only get them on the weeks ends.

I love the iPad mini! I traded in my old iPad 7 and I have no regrets. Yes it’s small but that’s what makes it so portable and accessible. I actually got it to be a better kindle. All while still doing my iPad apps. It’s the best of both worlds. It literally comes everywhere with me. I put this purchase off for months but finally ripped the bandaid off. If you’ve been thinking about it, GET IT!!! It was on sale also for $399, best time to buy it!

Beautiful product …very good quality I love it. I’ve wanted to get the mini iPad for a long time and I’m glad I’ve finally got it this year.

Booktok convinced me I needed an ereader or tablet but I am an Apple people so I decided to get this iPad mini. I really like it. I previously had the largest iPad and once you add the protective case and pencil it gets heavy and large to transport or just hold. With this iPad Mini it’s lightweight even with case protection and it small enough to fit in a smaller bags or be propped up. You can hold it with one hand or add pop sockets or accessories to it.

This mini maybe small but it does all the things a larger lap top does with all the perks of it being an Apple. It is so handy because of its size. The salesman was friendly and knowledgeable. And I highly recommend Best Buy.

Great lightweight alternative to my iPhone. It's easy to hold, and the perfect size for reading the Bible, browsing, and watching videos. The screen looks great, performance is smooth, and it fits easily into a bag. If you want something more capable than a phone but more portable than a full-size iPad, this is a great choice. It doesn't have face recognition like my iPhone but uses finger Touch ID. Habit makes me stare at my screen to open it. Pair with an Apple Pencil Pro for more fun!

Best size. Perfect for me as a pilot trainee needing an ipad for instrument flying! Pilot approved tablet! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My first Apple tablet was the iPad Mini 6, and I had many ways to use it. Back in 2024 the iPad Mini 7 Pro came out, and on day one I went to BestBuy for it. I used the same case I used for the 6 on the 7 because they aren't that different. The A17 Pro chip was a good investment in a mini tablet, and I liked the updates from the 6.

The best choice for anyone who wants a truly portable iPad with more power than most small tablets.

It’s been great so far. Easy to use one handed. I mostly use it for reading. Great to play games, sad that I had to buy the new Apple Pencil pro for it but wanted that extra use. Traded in my iPad Air 4

I absolutely love my iPad mini. It’s a great size and everything that I need it for, works great! Great loading speeds and so far it has not given me any issues in lagging or not responding - however, the one thing I find hard (I believe this must be with all iPads) since I am used to typing on my phone, it’s hard to type on my iPad without a keyboard. If I use a keyboard, then it’s just like a mini laptop, but if I can’t turn it horizontal it makes it a bit more difficult. I did get it for simplicity, not to have to buy or use an additional keyboard. I won’t let that reduce the rating for the iPad itself though since that’s just a personal preference. I’m sure some people are just fine typing on the iPad. In addition, it charges fast and holds a great charge (for what I do with it at least - I am not a gamer). I watch live and recorded videos on it, and use basic functions and apps. It fits nicely in my purse, it’s just such a great size. I do recommend it to anyone looking into it.

I have had 11 and 13 inch iPads. This mini is my favorite size. Easy to hold and I take it everywhere.

APPLE i'm very pleased about this product super fast and the size is perfect.

This ipad is intelligent & it feels amazing to use a pro in a mini. It's so cute and easy to take everywhere! I use it everyday! I complete my to-do lists, manage my business & watch my favorite show! I'm so in LOVE with this ipad! Absolutely worth every penny.
