Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really do not understand what people are complaining about with the new iPad Mini 7th Gen. I purchased the iPad Mini 6th Gen WiFi 64GB for $399, prior to knowing about the upcoming official iPad Mini 7th Gen, which happened a few days afterward. So, I returned the Mini 6th Gen and pre-ordered the Mini 7th Gen WiFi 128GB for $499. The Mini 7th Gen has the A17 Pro chip compared to the A15 chip in the Mini 6th Gen. The Mini 7th Gen has double the memory (8GB) over the Mini 6th Gen (4GB), offers 128GB-512GB storage rather than 64GB-256GB, and also has Bluetooth 5.3, rather than Bluetooth 5.0. Apple also did not raise the prices. Did I mention that the Mini 7th Gen has identical dimensions, meaning any prior cases, screen protectors, or other Mini 6th Gen accessories will fit perfectly. Yes, the Mini 7th Gen is currently $100 more than the Mini 6th Gen, but it is also 3 years newer, which means it will receive official iOS updates for 3 years longer. For me, I think it was worth the additional $100.

The new iPad mini is a beast in a small body. The A17 chip keeps everything buttery smooth—whether I’m editing video, sketching, or multitasking. The size is perfect for traveling, and the screen is stunning. Battery life has also held up well so far. It’s become my go-to for both work and play. 100% worth it.

Really love the size of the ipad, larger than phone and easy to carry. Fits in one hand as well, And I use it for note-taking with Apple pencil and it works like a charm. So far don't have any issues with the product. Battery, Display, Speakers everything is great.

I’ve been using the iPad Mini for a few weeks now, and it’s been a game-changer. I love how it fits perfectly in my bag, making it super convenient to carry around. Whether I’m reading e-books during my commute or watching videos in bed, the display is sharp and clear. The Apple Pencil works like a charm for jotting down notes and sketching ideas. It’s become my go-to device for both work and play. It’s just so easy to pick up and use for any task that pops up during the day. Whether I’m scheduling my day, replying to emails, or unwinding with a game, the iPad Mini handles it all effortlessly. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a versatile and portable device.

Coming from the iPad Air 5th generation, I wasn’t sure how the smaller size of the iPad mini would fit into my workflow—but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The A17 chip keeps everything fast and fluid, and the compact form factor makes it incredibly convenient to use anywhere—whether I’m reading, sketching, or multitasking on the go. What really stands out is how well it complements my MacBook Air and iPhone. It fills that perfect middle ground: more powerful and flexible than my phone, but far more portable than a full-size tablet or laptop. It’s now my go-to device for quick work sessions, note-taking, and entertainment. That said, one gripe: I was genuinely disappointed to discover that the iPad mini doesn't support the Apple Pencil 2nd generation. Having used it with the iPad Air, I naturally assumed it would work here too—but no luck. I ended up having to fork out for the new Apple Pencil Pro. It was a bit of a sad surprise, and I’ll admit—I should have done my homework on that one. Still, despite that hiccup, the iPad mini remains an incredibly capable and portable powerhouse that fits perfectly into my Apple ecosystem. Pros -Ultra-portable size: Easier to carry, hold, and use one-handed—great for travel or couch use. -Powerful A17 chip: Despite its small size, it handles multitasking, note-taking, gaming, and media consumption with ease. -Complementary device: Perfectly bridges the gap between a MacBook Air and iPhone; ideal for tasks that feel too big for a phone but don’t require a laptop. -Apple Pencil compatibility: Great for quick sketches, annotations, or handwriting on the go. -Premium build: Compact but solid, with a beautiful display and reliable performance. All-day battery life: Efficient despite the powerful chip and small form factor. Cons -Smaller screen not ideal for everything: Split-screen multitasking or long document editing can feel cramped. -No Magic Keyboard option: Not designed for heavy typing tasks like the iPad Air or Pro. -Pricey for its size: May seem expensive when compared to entry-level iPads or older models. -UI scaling quirks: Some apps and websites don’t always make the best use of the smaller display. -Accessory ecosystem is more limited: Fewer keyboard and case options compared to the Air/Pro line. Apple Pencil version issue: Beware! If you have an Apple Pencil 2nd Gen it's not supported on the new Mini. You'll have to fork out $$ for the Apple Pencil Pro or Apple Pencil USB-C if you want to use a stylus.

I LOVE the iPad mini 7! The screen size is perfect for one hand and the new screen (way better than 10th gen) and processor will keep it fast for years. The colors are a little muted for my taste, but they’re still cute! The 128gb is plenty for most iPad users and a welcome upgrade to the previous 64gb which was a little limiting for me especially with movies or shows for the plane.

iPad Mini Review. Faster Chip. Good screen. Light weight. Not bulky or heavy like full IPad. Advantage for light carry. Negative. Screen freezes and stops. Multiple reyes. Nothing. Had to reboot repeatedly. Tried different browsers, made no difference.

I have nothing bad to say about this product. It is by far of my favorite device that I’ve ever bought. It has Apple Intelligence is lightweight, and it is so perfectly in the hand. The color is so adorable Ronaldo. I have four iPad in total. I use this one the most. Battery life is immaculate. I’m using on FaceTime at least 19 hours a day and the charge holds up pretty well and I also charge is extremely fast. The color in the screen is so perfect. The touch ID is so convenient. There’s nothing bad that I can say about this device. It’s perfect in all ways.

I bought the iPad mini (a17 chip) as I was in need for a new device to take notes for university classes. Before making this purchase I debated whether or not I should go for the bigger models however the portability is of this one is simply unbeatable. Performance wise, I’ve had no issues so far, I am constantly using 2 apps side by side (usually YouTube & Good Notes) and have had a great experience! The only disadvantage was the battery, I feel it drains way to quickly and usually half the charge lasts me for a 2-3 hour lecture. Adding to this, back camera quality is a bit on the lower side, could be better, however you don’t buy this device to take pictures. Finally, the last complaint was the price, it is an Apple branded device, however I feel you could wait for deals to get at least 100$ off! Other than that, great device, no regrets and would buy again especially with the smooth delivery experience provided.

I love the size of the iPad mini. Great for media consumption and if you need the extra power, the A17 pro is not shy to provide the needed performance. Everything you need in a compact and portable device. Traded the 12.9 inch to the mini and I absolutely love the size.

Great portability if you don’t need something too large. But still bigger than a phone, making it convenient for watching videos or reading on the go. It’s faster than my old 10” model. Love the color and it still looks great in the case.

Perfect size. Upgraded from a mini 5th gen, and I like it. Got it in blue, and it's... kinda bluish? But it's fine. I use it for drawing, and some light gaming, and it works well. Im not an ipad power user, so I don't expect extreme performance. I just close my apps regularly, and mosey about. I also put a matte screen protector on it for drawing, and the screen still looks great.I got the wifi only option, which I kind of still feel crunchy about, but honestly, the lack of a steady stream of notifications and updates makes it easier to focus on drawing. I just update it at home. I don't need 2 "phones" I'm really not that important. All in all, it does what I need, and I'm happy with it.

Bought this for my significant other. Really incredible product. Lightning fast, gorgeous display, powerful CPU, seemingly eternal battery life. I will certainly buy this again for myself!

Perfect for you if you: • Want a highly portable device for reading, streaming, travel, or quick note‑taking. • Prefer powerful performance in a compact form for light creative apps or casual gaming. • Plan to use Apple Pencil Pro for sketches or annotations on the go. skip if you want: • A bigger canvas for multitasking, typing, or heavy video/photo editing. • A ProMotion display (120 Hz) for ultra‑smooth scrolling or drawing.

Best iPad at its truest form for size and portability. Wish Apple would’ve made the bezels smaller and added at least 90hrz but adding the A17Pro chipset is 1000% improvement.

My favorite iPad it’s very fast and it doesn’t cost that much. I can take it on the go with me anywhere. The battery is very, very good. I definitely recommend this iPad to everyone

This Apple product (mini iPad) is a game changer! I love its features and I use it every single day. Highly recommend to anyone; from students to law firm staff to medical assistants to older people looking to have audio books and fun games to play. Easy to handle and also lightweight.

The iPad Mini 7th Generation is almost identical to the 6th gen, but with one key addition: Apple Intelligence. If you’re into note-taking, reading, and writing with the Apple Pencil Pro, this is a near-perfect handheld device. It fits comfortably in your hand, making it great for casual use and light web browsing. Just don’t expect it to replace your gaming iPad, its not for that. For pure readers, though, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature is still the best choice. The e-ink display is unbeatable for long reading sessions. I grabbed mine with a price-match and a trade in my base model Mini 6. If you already own a 6th gen and it’s running smoothly, you’re probably fine sticking with it unless you really need Apple Intelligence to take your productivity up a notch in 2025. Otherwise wait for the 8th edition which will have a better screen. I give it 4 stars since I can’t tell much difference over my Mini 6.

Loving my new MINI! The blue color is perfect. It fits perfectly in my crossbody to travel with too!

Love this iPad! The screen is clear, the battery lasts long, and it’s super easy to use. Great for videos, browsing, and everyday tasks.
