    a BIG mini

    Typical Apple user - previous iPad mini4 does not hold a charge as long after nearly 10 years so an upgrade was warranted. Very happy with the speed of processing & able to update the OS. LARGE upgrade in the "basic" model of 128GB from 64GB on the previous model so you get tons of space for apps & movies/software for when you travel. Super clear screen, feels lighter but larger than the iPad mini 4 but they're marginally different. DEFINITELY get yourself a screen protector or you'll be cleaning fingerprints constantly.

    Perfect for my needs as I downsized from my 11in iPad Pro. This is handheld and easily transportable. Great display. Just as fast as my pro. This was a trade in and the employees were super helpful

    Powerful, Compact, and Perfectly Portable

    The iPad mini is the perfect blend of performance and portability. Its compact size makes it easy to carry anywhere, yet it’s incredibly powerful for everyday tasks like browsing, streaming, reading, and note-taking. The display is sharp and vibrant, making videos, books, and apps look great. I’m especially impressed with how fast and smooth everything runs—apps open quickly and multitasking is seamless. The battery life easily lasts through the day, and the build quality feels premium, as expected from Apple. If you’re looking for a lightweight tablet that doesn’t sacrifice performance, the iPad mini is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

    Such a great product. Love the size and portability of it. It has become my preferred device while at home. Battery life is good just wish it has Face ID.

    Wow! This tablet is just the right size for ease of use and much lighter than a traditional full size bulky tablet. Speed and app selection is first rate.

    Grabbed this because I wanted something small that could still get the job done—and so far, it’s been great. It fits right into my lifestyle. I picked it up with an Apple Pencil, and it’s totally replaced my notebook and sketchbook. If you’re after something portable with solid battery life, this is the one.

    Definitely the best mini

    Definitely the best mini. I was amazed. Very long battery life. High resolution. Fast. No glitches. Lightweight, of course. Finger recognition works really well. Extra bonus for me: the 4 speakers, 2 on each side, provide much improved sound. So if you are watching a video away from home, much better experience. I think this one is awesome. I liked it so well I got one for my sister too.

    This is a "real tablet". It's the perfect size for content. Easy to hold and handle. Great screen with super smooth scrolling. Powerful 17Pro chip and 8GB Ram with Apple Intelligence make it ready for the future. The price (I got it on special sale) is remarkable! There is no better tablet for value! Years of updates ready. No brainer if you want an affordable top of the line tablet.

    I really loved my iPad mini 6. However, I got bored and traded it in for a larger iPad. I regretted it almost right away. So when the mini 7 came out I knew it was time to go back to the mini. I purchased this and have never looked back. The size is great, very easy to travel with and the battery lasts all day. Its not running with an M series chip, but it certainly keeps up. If you are looking for a smaller tablet, or an iPad in general, this will not disappoint.

    Small IPAD but just as powerful.

    This is a great small IPad. Weighs less. Fits in smaller purses, packs. I use it as a reading device but as a small computer too. A lot less to handle while reading on the couch, in bed, on the porch on a lovely night. And you’re not staring at a tiny phone screen.

    The ipad mini I purchased has been wonderful so far. It is small and easy to handle. It is plenty fast enough for me, very little delay if you have fast internet. Screen is clear and bright. Colors are brilliant. Have not had any issues with it so far. Linked to my iphone with no problem. Apps work well. The battery drains fast when playing online games which is normal for most devices. Overall I am very happy with it.

    Great picture, really easy to use, good speed and default storage, excellent size. Warning that "Starlight" looks almost champagne colored on the computer screen but in reality is basically just silver. One downside is I usually have to turn it off or restart it to charge it. I've looked into it and this looks like a software issue apple has never acknowledged, much less fixed.

    I had a iPad mini 5th generation and decided it was time to upgrade. I am very pleased with this new one. It was very easy to transfer info to the new one. It is faster than my old one and I think the battery life is longer. I use it to watch movies and read books. I also love the size as you can carry it with you and it is not heavy. I love it.

    iPad Mini - great upgrade

    Upgraded from my old mini, but I got this on sale and love it so far. Handles my games and reading well which is mostly what I do and some multitasking for apps (quick budgets, emails, etc). The size is perfect for travel, and watching/reading/games on the go. I also use it for patterns and recipes so it’s good for what I need it for. The battery life was also an upgrade. It does miss some features that the regular iPad has, I don’t love the colors, and it feels super pricey, but because of the almost $200 discount I got it was worth it.

    The iPad mini is good but pricey. I got it on sale so it wasn't too bad. I wouldn't pay full price though. Speed and screen are good. I like the compact size. This is my first iPad, so I'm still getting use to it.

    I always thought the iPad mini was a waste of money because it's so much smaller. But that's the beauty in it. I love being able to fit it in my purse so I can digitally plan, have a nice screen if I want to watch something on the go or something light for the couch. I barely pick up my iPad air. I think the iPad mini is great for a casual experience but you will need a bigger screen if it's for school.

    This is the iPad most people should buy. It's very fast and has a beautiful screen. Easy to hold and use, plays any game with ease and built very well. Battery life is very good for being a smaller device, will last multiple days unless you play a lot of games. Highly recommended.
