This is one of the best inventions this century. Is is ultra portable and just the right size to read books. It is also fast and responsive and you cannot beat the screen resolution and excellent build quality. I would recommend it hands down.

I’ve always been curious about the iPad minis and what it’s like for day to day use. So far it’s been perfect for my use case which is reading and taking notes. I can see how a larger screen would be better for notes but this one is so portable that it outweighs the pros of a bigger screen. I reach for this over my phone or computer now. I use it mainly for bible studies and notes during church and community groups. Definitely recommended, excellent battery life as well. If you get a paper style screen cover, I would advise against a glass cover with acid etching, it doesn’t provide enough resistance that a plastic texture cover provides. Might be worth looking at a Zagg cover that isn’t textured but is still kind of gel like, that might be a winner. The screen without a textured cover is absolutely beautiful.

Super fast, lightweight, and the purple color looks amazing. The A17 Pro chip makes everything smooth, whether I’m working, watching videos, or gaming. Battery lasts long, and the size is perfect to carry anywhere. Apple Intelligence features are a nice touch too! Totally worth it!

This is a great small IPad. Weighs less. Fits in smaller purses, packs. I use it as a reading device but as a small computer too. A lot less to handle while reading on the couch, in bed, on the porch on a lovely night. And you’re not staring at a tiny phone screen.

he new iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip is an absolute game-changer! I've always loved the mini form factor, but this version takes performance to another level. It's blazing fast, handles multitasking effortlessly, and is perfect for everything from streaming and gaming to productivity and creative tasks.
The Apple Intelligence integration is a fantastic touch, making daily tasks even more seamless. The vibrant blue color is stunning in person, and the build quality is as premium as ever. Battery life is impressive, and the lightweight design makes it ideal for travel.
If you want a portable powerhouse with top-tier performance, this iPad mini is worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Grabbed this because I wanted something small that could still get the job done—and so far, it’s been great. It fits right into my lifestyle. I picked it up with an Apple Pencil, and it’s totally replaced my notebook and sketchbook. If you’re after something portable with solid battery life, this is the one.

Typical Apple user - previous iPad mini4 does not hold a charge as long after nearly 10 years so an upgrade was warranted. Very happy with the speed of processing & able to update the OS. LARGE upgrade in the "basic" model of 128GB from 64GB on the previous model so you get tons of space for apps & movies/software for when you travel. Super clear screen, feels lighter but larger than the iPad mini 4 but they're marginally different. DEFINITELY get yourself a screen protector or you'll be cleaning fingerprints constantly.

Got this ipad mini for my toddler. It’s very small which makes it portable. The processor is quick. So, you aren’t lagging and such when playing games.

Upgraded from my old mini, but I got this on sale and love it so far. Handles my games and reading well which is mostly what I do and some multitasking for apps (quick budgets, emails, etc).
The size is perfect for travel, and watching/reading/games on the go. I also use it for patterns and recipes so it’s good for what I need it for. The battery life was also an upgrade.
It does miss some features that the regular iPad has, I don’t love the colors, and it feels super pricey, but because of the almost $200 discount I got it was worth it.

My old one was out of date, and couldn’t take certain updates. This one is a breeze to operate. Images are clear and distinct. It’s easy to switch from one screen to another. I like that I can get a full view of my calendar with different colors for different things. Much easier to read. It fits easily into my laptop briefcase outer pocket. I like the touch command features on top for turning the mini on and off as well as my fingerprint passcode. A really neat, cool item for some of us “of a certain age”!

Definitely the best mini. I was amazed. Very long battery life. High resolution. Fast. No glitches. Lightweight, of course. Finger recognition works really well. Extra bonus for me: the 4 speakers, 2 on each side, provide much improved sound. So if you are watching a video away from home, much better experience. I think this one is awesome. I liked it so well I got one for my sister too.

This is a "real tablet". It's the perfect size for content. Easy to hold and handle. Great screen with super smooth scrolling. Powerful 17Pro chip and 8GB Ram with Apple Intelligence make it ready for the future. The price (I got it on special sale) is remarkable! There is no better tablet for value! Years of updates ready. No brainer if you want an affordable top of the line tablet.

This is the iPad most people should buy. It's very fast and has a beautiful screen. Easy to hold and use, plays any game with ease and built very well. Battery life is very good for being a smaller device, will last multiple days unless you play a lot of games. Highly recommended.

This is my second iPad mini. For me, the iPad mini is the best size. And a no brainer when the regular iPad has not been updated. It is small enough to easily carry around, especially when traveling, and big enough to watch movies with. Good speed and have had zero problems.
Apple iPad Mini (2024) Review: Small but Mighty, w

The 2024 iPad Mini retains its compact 8.3-inch design, now powered by the A17 Pro chip, delivering a 30% performance boost over its predecessor. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro, enhancing note-taking and drawing experiences. The base storage has been doubled to 128GB, providing ample space for apps and media. However, the device still features a 60Hz LCD display and lacks a landscape-centered camera, which may disappoint some users. While it excels in portability and is ideal for media consumption, the iPad Mini offers minimal incentives for those considering an upgrade from earlier models.

Perfect size. All the IPad goodness but in a much more portable format. I like having a smaller phone for the go at work and what not, and then this IPad mini for both home and on the go when visiting relatives or on the road. Not too heavy to hold like a book.

I had a iPad mini 5th generation and decided it was time to upgrade. I am very pleased with this new one. It was very easy to transfer info to the new one. It is faster than my old one and I think the battery life is longer. I use it to watch movies and read books. I also love the size as you can carry it with you and it is not heavy. I love it.

I was hesitant to get this iPad at first cause it was so small, it is easily my favorite tablet now. It doesn’t make my hands tired but it has the power I need to run my business.

I am loving my mini so far. I had an iPad 9th gen before but I didn’t use it as much. It was just a bit too heavy and bulky for me, but I still wanted something for everyday use other than my phone. I decided to give the mini a try and I’m so glad I did. I’m already using it way more than I was the other one. Would highly recommend the mini for those looking for a lightweight and easy to handle experience. Went with a Best Buy open box item and saved a little money too. The mini looked like it was new. Couldn’t tell the difference.

Love this so much! The screen is very bright, crisp and clear, great colors. It’s very fast and the battery life is great. I love the purple. It is easily my favorite device now and enabled me to go back down to a smaller iPhone I just grab the mini if I need to see something bigger. I use it as my E reader a lot plus YouTube.
