    Looks good and seemed to work, however it took like 5 tries to get the wifi connected. After that I thought all was good until I got a error message on account creation-"Account could not be created try again" I tried for several days and same error message and Apple support was basically non existent. Ended up returning this item.

    Not happy at all

    Not happy. First, I was delivered an empty box on 7/16. Second, when I called Bestbuy customer support on 7/16, I was told a replacement will be delivered. I got a message from Bestbuy on 7/18 saying I will receive it on 8/1/24. Third, when I went to Bestbuy local store on 7/18 to see if I can pick up at the store, they said no. Fourth, when I went out of town on 7/18, Bestbuy informed me that my package is coming on 7/19 between 2.00 and 6.00pm and I should be home to sign it. I had to cut short my trip and come back home for the package. Fifth, package delivery was delayed 3 times on 7/19. Finally it came around 8.30pm on 7/19. This was a total mess

    The product is good, but there were some technical issues with the iPad as the pencil was not connecting with it.

    Good form factor but iOS isn’t optimized for the mini. Will take some time to get used to it. But the size of tablet may be worth it.

    DO NOT TRUST DELIVERY

    Sorry this is not a review on the product itself but more on Best Buy's delivery service. Instead for shipping through UPS, FedEx or USPS, they chose a delivery service called Roadie. Roadie claims they delivered my iPad and provided a picture of my front porch. Guess what, it's not my front porch. Best Buy will not refund my money because they claim it was delivered and to fill out a police report. I contacted my credit card company to dispute the card and will probably fill out a police report but learn from me and never get delivery from Best Buy and also shop elsewhere because this is my last purchase with Best Buy!

    Purchased this for it's utility in my studio to control Blackmagic on my iPhone video camera. It's over priced and overhyped - but functional for a very limited use, basic operation. Would not recommend it to anyone but I had to spend some Best Buy Rewards quickly before they expired.

    I never bought this item. Someone stole my card. The money has been returned to me. You now have given this item away to a thief. Next time get a valid id before you hand over the merchandise.

    I had to order the one I wanted which was blue. It arrived 2 days later but they sent a purple one. I then had to drive 46 miles round trip back to the local store to exchange for the correct one. Luckily they had gotten a blue one in. Someone in Oklahoma needs to be retained.
