    The Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro chip) Wi-Fi 128GB is awesome. It is blazingly fast! The cameras take incredible photos and the screen resolution is amazing. It was very easy to transfer everything from an older iPad mini to this new one. Best Buy had a great sale on iPads during the holiday season which made this an even better deal.

    I love using my iPad mini. It’s perfect for me because I like to read and watch videos and its size is perfect for that for me. I don’t like anything too big, so this is great!

    I really like my new Mini iPad. I like the more compact size over my old regular size iPad, and the picture quality is very good. Plus, it was on sale when I bought it, so that's a win!

    Great picture, really easy to use, good speed and default storage, excellent size. Warning that "Starlight" looks almost champagne colored on the computer screen but in reality is basically just silver. One downside is I usually have to turn it off or restart it to charge it. I've looked into it and this looks like a software issue apple has never acknowledged, much less fixed.

    GREAT Tablet!

    GREAT tablet! Hardly worth the money but the hardware & software are at the top of the retail market. My only complaint is with Best Buy. A Best Buy employee shipped me an iPad mini with a different Serial Number than the one listed on my BestBuy.com receipt. I also purchased AppleCare+ through Best Buy, which was applied to the iPad listed on my receipt rather than the iPad that was shipped to me. It took me several phone calls to Best Buy & Apple, over the course of more than a week, to rectify this issue. Automated systems work great until human error causes a cascade failure. A word of advice: Never purchase AppleCare until after you receive your Apple product.

    I bought this ipad to replace my ipad mini 5. I find the touch ID on this one to be harder to use than the old one. Also, the virtual display has rounded corners making it harder to select the option to go back to the previous app. Overall, it is faster and newer but I miss the ease of use of my older one.
