    Out with the old and in with the new. It was worth waiting for the upgrade. A early gift to myself for Christmas. The color purple is very pretty. It provides more storage. I use it for my music and other apps. It is easy to carry around. Battery life is great.

    This is the perfect size for travel. Light-weight so it is easy to hand-hold when reading or watching. Performs well. Easy trade-in of my iPad 9, and goodby to my last Lightening connector!

    I recently traded my IPad Pro 11" for the new Mini A17. I was so impressed with the performance and convenience of the smaller footprint that I bought this one for my wife. Unlike the larger models we take these wherever we go and find no loss in performance or ease of use. I strongly recommend this model for casual users

    This little guy is fantastic and is the perfect size for my handbag to take with me when I know I need something bigger than my phone but not a large bulky iPad. I held off for awhile but finally bit the bullet and I'm sooo glad that I did. No different than my larger iPad, just smaller and goes anywhere. Perfect to be able to pull out when on a plane or in the car for long distance travel, and the battery life is awesome as well! Easy peasy and love the blue color! Thanks, Apple :)

    This is the coolest little iPad I have ever seen! I love this thing. I have even used this more than my laptop lately, as it’s easy to carry around & use. I love that I’m able to unlock it with my fingerprint—both hands trigger fingers! This is a powerful little iPad that will surely be a tool you’ll love for a long time.

    Perfect! I bought this for my husband who is in pilot school. It was recommended as the perfect size and software that works for his flight training, ariel maps, notetaking, etc. by other pilots online. This is ideal for what he needed. Its compact in size, very fast in speed and ideal for what he needs!

    I love love love this little tablet!! The 8.3 inch size is what I love most. I bought a tablet this size when they were first introduced and over the years I would upgrade to larger and larger. Recently I have been longing for the smaller size again for the ease of portability and reading in bed. IT'S PERFECT, the rest is the icing on the cake.

    I’m in looooveeee with this IPad. Coming from an IPad Pro where I couldn’t take anywhere because of the size and fear of breaking it. This iPad mini is a game changer. I love cruising so this is the perfect size iPad for on the go and I still have the same capabilities for drawing and reading

    Wow, love the feel, size, and weight of this thing. Everything you would expect but in a smaller package. It was easy to setup and with apple id. Very easy to travel with due to the size. I would highly recommend this for anyone that wants an ipad that is easy to hold and carry.

    This is the perfect on-the-go device, able to do anything my full-sized laptop can do, as fast in doing it, and it fits in a small sling bag. Better touch screen recognition, best pen. Sometimes I want that full keyboard, but most of the time, I really don’t need it.

    The new iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip is a powerhouse in a compact design. It’s lightning fast, handles multitasking with ease, and the Apple Intelligence features make everyday tasks smarter and smoother. The Purple color is beautiful, and the 128GB storage is perfect for apps, media, and more. Lightweight, portable, and surprisingly powerful — this iPad mini is perfect for anyone who wants top-tier performance in a travel-friendly size. Highly recommend!

    I am currently using this ipad for college and it has everything that I could ask for, small size so it doesn’t feel massive on the desk and easily carry around the entire campus or even at home.

    I have the iPad Pro but decided to add this one since it is lighter and good for traveling. It’s good for reading and watching movies while on the plane. Good to add the Smart Cover case when you buy it.
