Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This is my second iPad mini. For me, the iPad mini is the best size. And a no brainer when the regular iPad has not been updated. It is small enough to easily carry around, especially when traveling, and big enough to watch movies with. Good speed and have had zero problems.

Love this so much! The screen is very bright, crisp and clear, great colors. It’s very fast and the battery life is great. I love the purple. It is easily my favorite device now and enabled me to go back down to a smaller iPhone I just grab the mini if I need to see something bigger. I use it as my E reader a lot plus YouTube.

Prior to this iPad, I had the mini 4. I can tell a difference in the performance of the tablets. I love the size of the mini. It is light and comfortable to hold. It fits in my purses, too. I use it for almost everything. I was contemplating the regular sized iPad, but right before ordering, I changed my mind. I love my MINI!

The iPad mini’s compact size also surprised me. It’s incredibly light, easy to hold with one hand, and perfect for commuting or quick note‑taking sessions. Despite the smaller form factor it keeps everything buttery smooth, whether I'm switching between apps, annotating PDFs, or taking notes

Perfect size. All the IPad goodness but in a much more portable format. I like having a smaller phone for the go at work and what not, and then this IPad mini for both home and on the go when visiting relatives or on the road. Not too heavy to hold like a book.

Perfect size IPAD for small hands. We bought this for my daughter who plays games and watches YouTube on it. She says that this IPAD is much easier to work on than the normal size IPAD and it is plenty big enough to watch movies on. Something to think about if you are buying this for a young person. Overall, very happy with the purchase and would recommend.

Perfect size, starts up fast, easy to setup. Screen is good, speakers sound great, nice base.

Got this ipad mini for my toddler. It’s very small which makes it portable. The processor is quick. So, you aren’t lagging and such when playing games.

This iPad has the perfect balance between power and portability. Its A17 Pro chip delivers fast, smooth performance for everyday tasks with no issue. With its compact size and lightweight design, it’s incredibly easy to take anywhere without taking up much space, so you get big tablet capability in a pocket-friendly form.

The wife wanted this to replace her Kindle for reading books . She likes the fact that the screen is of better quality and the brightness has more options. As with all things Apple, this seamlessly integrates with all the other devices. Battery life is excellent and overall build quality is great . It may be slightly heavier than the Kindle but the overall experience more than makes up for it .

As an owner of an iPad Pro from 2018 that never got used and just collected dust because my iPhone and Macbook Pro were more than sufficient for my every day needs, this thing is awesome. With a MacBook Pro I never really could find a purpose for my iPad Pro anymore, it was too big to use as a companion piece, and it didnt provide me anything I didnt already have (except for notetaking with a pencil). So I decided to give my old iPad to my girlfriend because she likes to color on it, and I downsized to this Mini. What a great idea that was! Now I no longer have to decide between using my phone as a companion device and trying to read the small text for prolonged periods of time, or my iPad Pro which was competing too much with my MacBook. The size is perfect to catch up on the news, watch shows, read books, and even sketch notes. It can be easily held with one hand and doesnt feel like its overbearing like the Pro. Unless you absolutely need the better specs of a Pro I would seriously consider this little device. If you are looking to downsize your tablet, then look no further than the iPad Mini a17 Pro.

The iPad Mini is the perfect blend of power and portability. The screen is sharp, it runs fast, and it’s great for reading, note-taking, and travel. Love the USB-C and Apple Pencil support. Pricey, but worth it if you want a compact, capable tablet.

iPad mini pro... an excellent addition to my Apple devices! Much more robust than my previous mini and even previous standard iPads. The new Apple Pro Pencil is remarkable. I love the portability, split screen option and fast update to my iPhone.

I’ve been using the iPad mini daily it’s small but powerful, super fast, and perfect for games, notes, and watching shows on the go.

The iPad mini is super portable and fast. Perfect size for reading, watching videos, or light work on the go. The screen is bright and clear, and battery lasts all day. Great for travel or everyday use.

[Employee of bestbuy] I love my pad as someone who is in the apple economy, this is the most useful to get, Im a teacher of sorts and love using this to pull up all my material and multitask. great and portable. Normally last my 8 hours at work.

I was hesitant to get this iPad at first cause it was so small, it is easily my favorite tablet now. It doesn’t make my hands tired but it has the power I need to run my business.

My old one was out of date, and couldn’t take certain updates. This one is a breeze to operate. Images are clear and distinct. It’s easy to switch from one screen to another. I like that I can get a full view of my calendar with different colors for different things. Much easier to read. It fits easily into my laptop briefcase outer pocket. I like the touch command features on top for turning the mini on and off as well as my fingerprint passcode. A really neat, cool item for some of us “of a certain age”!

Updated my husband’s 2020 iPad mini. I was impressed on how small the new one is. Very light weight and easy to use
