    Small Size, Big Power!

    The iPad Mini is exactly what I was looking for — lightweight, fast, and easy to carry anywhere. The display is stunning: sharp, colorful, and bright enough for videos and games. The A15 Bionic chip makes multitasking smooth, and apps open instantly without lag. Battery life easily lasts a full day with regular use, and the updated slim-bezel design feels modern and premium. It’s the perfect balance between a phone and a full-size iPad — big enough for reading, streaming, or note-taking, but small enough to fit in a bag or even hold comfortably with one hand. If you need something powerful but compact, this is the best choice. I’m really happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for portability without sacrificing performance.

    I moved from a gen 5 to this gen 7 and am generally liking it. Bigger screen on a smaller body & added flash are my favourite things. It's supposed to be peppier than my 5, and have better resolution, but I don't notice it that much, And happily, the weight remains the same. The touch button is now on the side and is quite narrow, making it very sensitive to recognizing my fingerprint; it takes a few touches sometimes. Also, the interface is now one usb-c (no more 3.5 jack) so although I am able to use my charger from my macbook air, I needed to order new headphones and can't charge and take a call at the same time. The purple is more of a cool rosy grey and very nice. I adore my ipad mini and use it tons. Way better than a smaller phone for reading, games etc, but portable enough to take most places. Because there's still no true phone, his time I decided to skip the cell feature and use my dumbphone as a hotspot when I'm away from wifi. TBH, I use my google phone way more than my phone.

    Awesome Mother Day’s gift

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the newest iPad Mini this year on Mother’s Day as a gift for my wife, and she absolutely loves it. It’s the perfect size — not too big, not too small — and super lightweight, which makes it easy for her to use around the house or take on the go. The screen is sharp and vibrant, and the performance is smooth for everything she does — from watching videos to FaceTime, note-taking, and even light photo editing. The battery life easily lasts her all day, and the build quality feels premium like you’d expect from Apple. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, everyday-use iPad that doesn’t feel bulky but still delivers great power, this is the one to go with.

    Everything seemed fine other than the fact the outside of the box looks like somebody was eating Kentucky Fried Chicken while packaging it up. This is not professional.

    The iPad mini is the perfect balance of power and portability. The size is ideal, light enough to carry anywhere, but still big enough for reading, streaming, and taking notes comfortably. The display is crisp and vibrant, and the speed is impressive; apps open instantly and multitasking is seamless. Battery life easily lasts all day, even with heavy use. It’s also great with the Apple Pencil for jotting down notes or sketching. Whether for work, travel, or downtime, this device has become my go-to.

It's incredibly fast and responsive — apps open in an instant, and multitasking is seamless. The size is perfect for travel, reading, and general use without sacrificing performance. Battery life is excellent, and the display is clear and vibrant. Well worth the upgrade. Highly recommend for anyone who requires power in a small package!

    The new iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip is unbelievably fast for its size. Everything feels instant, from switching apps to editing photos and streaming. The A17 Pro makes it run like a full laptop in a tablet body, and the Apple Intelligence features make daily use feel smarter and more personal. The 8.3-inch display is bright, sharp, and perfect for travel or couch use. It’s light enough to hold for hours, yet powerful enough to handle serious work or gaming. Battery life easily lasts all day, and the Space Gray finish looks sleek and modern. If you want a compact device that delivers full-size performance, the new iPad mini is perfect. It’s ideal for anyone who values power, portability, and pure Apple polish.

    So far so good and much better performance than the iPad 10. Perfect for the littles as it’s easier for him to carry around. Screen it crisp and battery life is excellent. Unlock and volume control are on the top of the iPad so takes a little getting used to but actually seems like a better spot for them.

    Nice in size in between my iPhone and MacBook Air

    I will start out by saying that I bought my iPad, as an open box item and am very impressed with the condition. I saved over $25 vs an unopened item and got something that looked brand-new. I bought this item, as my older 11" iPad Pro was running out of space and I had just gotten a new MacBook Air, so I really did not need another bigger iPad. I am very pleased with my purchase, especially the size, as it easily fits in one hand. It is a nice size between my larger MacBook Air and my smaller iPhone. Also 128GB storage is double my previous iPad and will be more than enough space to store all my apps and files. The display and processor are also very nice and almost more than I need. On the down side this item seems a little pricey even for Apple when compared to some of the other iPads currently on the market (did use gift cards and rewards, so I really did not have to pay the full price, plus I got this item on sale). In all I am very happy with this iPad, but not pay full price for it.

    I got my iPad as an open box and it works great. It is also the perfect size as I wanted an Apple product but smaller so I could hold it with ease in my hand for e-reading. It operates fast and has plenty of storage. I do recommend if youre in the market for a smaller tablet.

    The iPad mini is super portable and is easy to carry around, even in a small purse. I mainly use it for note taking and it’s the perfect size of not being very large and uncomfortable but big enough to comfortably see the contents of the screen. I also haven’t ran into any performance issues and for basic note taking, media consumption and some doodling, the iPad mini is more than capable. For the power, price and portability, I would definitely recommend!

    Exactly the quality I’d expect from Apple products

    I needed a new iPad mini after my mini 4 finally bit the dust & couldn’t stream anymore. Got this on sale during the Techtober event for $399 instead of the regular $499 price. Only use the tablet for streaming & reading & both functions are excellent on this iPad. Very responsive with opening & switching between apps. Lightweight & the screen quality is insanely great. I got the 128 gig because I don’t really put a lot on my tablets except for iTunes music (I read through Libby) so if I wanted to do more I’d size up in space. Sound is clear & I like that it’s USB-C & more universal. I like there’s a place for an Apple Pencil & you can enable touch to open with your finger. Battery life is amazing too - streamed football almost all day on Saturday through Xfinity & ESPN & still had battery to spare. 100% recommend to anyone who is looking to upgrade your iPad mini - definitely worth the price (especially if you can trade in your old tablet for credit).

    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.
