    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.

    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’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

    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.

    I bought this device to be an easy note-taking solution for my job. I find the super compact size and the amazing new Apple Pencil make a great combination. With the M processor it’s super fast and easy to use.

    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.

    If you are the target audience for an iPad mini, there is nothing not to love for this 7th gen compared to any prior versions. Sure, it has the same design and body as the 6th gen, but as the other reviewer already said, you get double the memory, double the storage, and essentially the same chip as the iPhone 15 pro. What's not to love for the same $499 starting price?

    I had a mini 6th Gen before this (essentially the same) but I decided to upgrade due to the now 128 GB option and the upgraded chip! I use this to casual game and catch up on tv shows/movies, so the extra space is worth it. With Best Buys great trade in option & discounts, I got it for an amazing price! If you want something that's light, easy to take with (can fit easily in a backpack, purse or carry on) and top quality.. this is it! Excited to see what apple continues to do with the mini series... would love to see a "pro" mini option! (upgraded sound, graphics, chip, etc).

    Big yet small

    Transitioning away from (Android) smartphones, I bought this to supplement my new dumb phone. It’s small and light enough to fit in my bag easily and carry everywhere I go. The square edges help with grip. I don’t feel like the device is going to slip out of my hands, unlike some glass smartphones I’ve had in the past, and I’m comfortable going without a case for now. USB-C port is great. Honestly wouldn’t have considered this device if it still used Lightning. In terms of software, there are a few features I miss coming from Android to iPadOS (e.g., temporarily dismissing an alarm before it goes off), but Shortcuts and Automations make up for most of them. Happy with my purchase. Have yet to try any accessories, but I’m seriously considering getting at least an Apple Pencil down the line.

    I purchased this iPad mini to replace the previous version simply for more storage space. I was surprised it was not as easy to set up from my other device, as setups usually are. I worked around it and got everything set up manually. Not sure what happened, but it’s all good now. The color is so light, you can barely tell it’s purple. Wish the color was a little deeper. I was able to use the cover from my previous device, happy about that. Battery seems to last a couple days so far with light use. I’ll see how it goes as I use it more. No complaints, just a slight upgrade.

    I love this Apple iPad! I confess I don't use a lot of the features so I can't speak to all the new "AI features and office capabilities" but my old iPad was so old it wouldn't update anymore so I had to get a new one and I chose this one. It has been fantastic. The resolution is great, the camera is wonderful and the memory is superb! I read a lot of ebooks on it so I have tons of them stored on here. I also use it for my social media and email. It has worked for everything I use it for. I would highly recommend it!
