    Battery life is not good

    Nice size but the battery life sucks. I play a game and it needs charged way more than my Air5. It is disappointing.

    Excellent! I love my iPad, this is the first one I have, I can take it everywhere with me, also I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The website is user-friendly, making the process quick and straightforward, very smooth and efficient pickup process which was my first time trying.

    Love it. I have the iPad Pro 11 2020. While it is a good device it’s just op big to walk around with and have on the subway imo. This fits that niche of being portable but big. I wish the screen was OLED or mini-led but I understand this is a small seller for Apple. Still love it!

    This is a great device that I use for reading and annotating PDFs and reading story books (epub). It works very nicely with pencil pro. I like reading and writing while holding, so the size is perfect for me. I am also not a big screen is better kind of a person, so extremely happy with my purchase.

    Great for Warzone Mobile

    I bought this iPad for one thing, and that's to play Warzone Mobile. Overall, product is great, it runs my game just fine. Warzone mobile is a bear of a game, and the iPad does get hot, but it does handle the game much better than my iPhone 16 Pro Max. If you're into mobile gaming, get this and a good controller, you won't be disappointed.

    GREAT Tablet!

    GREAT tablet! Hardly worth the money but the hardware & software are at the top of the retail market. My only complaint is with Best Buy. A Best Buy employee shipped me an iPad mini with a different Serial Number than the one listed on my BestBuy.com receipt. I also purchased AppleCare+ through Best Buy, which was applied to the iPad listed on my receipt rather than the iPad that was shipped to me. It took me several phone calls to Best Buy & Apple, over the course of more than a week, to rectify this issue. Automated systems work great until human error causes a cascade failure. A word of advice: Never purchase AppleCare until after you receive your Apple product.

    Good product for its price. Bigger screen than before. Only downside is that I feel like the resolution display is lacking. I might’ve just gotten used to playing games in my phone which makes it a little different in terms of display and color dpi.

    I purchased my mini iPad my first one from Best Buy and I traded it in. I had a model five it. I can’t remember when I bought it, but I needed to update it because it was getting kind of slow. I bought the new mini A17 Pro chip and I love it. Thank you Best Buy for the trade-in offer too.

    My digital notebook(s)

    I had a specific purpose to buying this iPad. I wanted to cut down on the number of notebooks I had lying around my desk. I honestly didn't think I would enjoy using this as much as I do. I have consolidated 7 different notebooks into 1 and this iPad Mini with the Apple Pencil Pro. When I'm not working or taking notes, this has been fantastic to watch YouTube Videos and the like. I even downloaded Moonlight to play games from my PC on the iPad when I'm not at my desk. I normally don't buy things like AppleCare because I take very good care of my electronics, but I do have it on this because I don't know what I would do if I happened to break it. I would recommend an iPad Mini over and over again. If I had to be critical of something, I do notice some flex in the screen when I'm taking notes. I've only had it a month, so I don't know if this will cause issues long term, but it is something to note.
