    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!

    My Go-To Tablet Every Day

    The iPad mini has quickly become my favorite Apple device because it strikes the perfect balance between power and portability. The size is ideal—small enough to hold comfortably with one hand, yet large enough to read, watch videos, and get real work done without feeling cramped. Performance is excellent. Apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and everything from note-taking to streaming and light photo editing runs effortlessly. The display is sharp and vibrant, making it great for reading, browsing, and watching content. I especially love how easy it is to carry around the house or throw into a bag without adding weight. Battery life has also been impressive. I can use it throughout the day for emails, web browsing, and entertainment without constantly worrying about charging. Touch ID is fast and convenient, and the overall build quality feels premium, as expected from Apple. If you want a tablet that’s powerful but not oversized, the iPad mini is an excellent choice. It’s perfect for everyday use, travel, and anyone who prefers a compact device without sacrificing performance. Highly recommended.

    I purchased this iPad as an upgrade for my old mini. I'm really glad I did. The display is sharp and clear, the Pro chip and 128GB's give me the increased speed and storage I needed. The swift and easy purchase process was an added bonus. My sales associate, Marcus, walked me through the trade-in steps for my old mini and answered all my questions. Kudos Marcus and BBY.

    This was a purchase for my wife so that she didn't have to sit in front of her MacBook all the time. She enjoys having it at her side when watching TV so that she can look up things like actors, movie information, etc. I also installed the Kindle and Nook apps, as well as the Libby and Hoopla library apps so that she can check things out from our local library as well. Overall it is a great tablet, lightweight, fast, has pretty decent battery life, and is becoming her favorite Apple device.

    There aren't too many half-sized tablets out there in the marketplace. For anyone who is used to carryinng a Moleskine notebook, this might be the best replacement. Get an Apple Pencil and use it with OneNote or Goodnotes and you'll have unlimited pages for notes, sketches, etc. I also appreciate being able to use it as a Kindle device! Watch movies or shows on the go! With an A17 Pro chip it's got the motor to keep up with today's demands.

    I love my new iPad Mini! It’s just the right size to be able to carry inside my purse without it being bulky or heavy. I purchased it because I was interested in reading on it and it’s perfect! I wish the purple was a deeper hue as it looks more silver than anything, but either way great buy.

    Purchased for a middle schooler who wanted an upgrade from an Apple watch but is not quite ready for an iPhone. Size is perfect for what we wanted. Big enough screen, very portable. We manage the account and we're happy so far with parental controls, etc. Four stars bc we had an issue syncing with the cloud account. It keeps pausing, so not all of the messages and contacts were transferred from the watch/cloud. After some research it seems to be a common issue with no real resolution. Not the end of the world, but annoying.

    I’ve become an iPad kid, I’m all for it??

    I used to think the iPad was a cringe piece of hardware you give your kid because you love em enough to get them something expensive but not enough to talk to them— Nah, this is really a good piece of tech I was too lost not to see its utility. The IPad has become a revolutionary work station for my college life that I’ve missed out on my whole academic career. This is including the fact the Apple Pen Pro is a must, Pages helps me and my hyperactive mind focus on concepts without having to think about what highlighter or pen color to use. Studying has become 2nd nature, I’ve went from a 50% average in my Pharmacology exam lectures to an 80. I think switching to an IPad for notes has been a life saver and I’ve been thinking about getting back into digital art too. So much possibility with this new generation of hardware, it does instill a sense of childlike wonder I don’t think I’ve had in a long time and I’m thankful for all the wonderful Apple hardware engineers to help cultivate my own curiosity and discipline for studying.

    This iPad Mini A16 Pro is small but real powerful. Apps open super quick and games run smooth like butter. Screen is sharp but wish it was bit brighter outdoor. Battery life is decent, not great. If you want power in small size, this one nails it.

    First time purchasing an iPad mini. Sad to let go of my iPod touch, but so far, I'm pleased with the new device. Screen is just the right size, not big like a regular iPad, but small enough to carry in my small purse
