Customer Ratings & Reviews

I originally bought the Wi-Fi one, but returned it for the cellular definitely the better choice

I use my iPad mini like a second phone. This iPad has more functions than the 6th gen and it allows cuter home screens

I love my iPad mini. It’s a great functional device. I love to use it to read mostly. I also love how clear the screen is.

I love my iPad mini! I use it mostly for reading, and digital planning. It is fun to learn how to customize it as well.

Love this. Its a great replacement for invite had over 10 years!

Let me start by saying I've never owned an iPad before. However, I've had several Apple computers and almost every iPhone since the first one launched in 2008. The iPad Mini is undeniably stunning—when I see someone else holding it. But when it’s in my own hands, it feels awkward. Sure, it technically fits into my pockets, but even that’s awkward. It can do many things an iPhone can do, yet the experience remains... awkward. The device is supposed to leverage Apple’s advanced intelligence features, but even with ChatGPT integration, it feels clumsier than a box of Siris. I love the concept of the iPad Mini, and I can see how it might be useful for those with a specific need for this form factor. However, only a few days in, I find myself ready to trade it in for a MacBook. What I really want is a touchscreen MacBook with a detachable keyboard. But, hey—that’s just me.

Shipping was really fast and wall package I love my iPad

Love it, perfect addition as my 12.9 was too big for daily use.

Besides having to wait a little over a week to get it i am happy with my purchase the lady i talked to was really nice friendly and very helpful with getting it to me

The new iPad mini with the A17 chip is an absolute beast in a compact package. Apple finally gave the mini the performance boost it deserved, and the difference is obvious from the moment you turn it on. Apps launch instantly, multitasking is buttery smooth, and even graphics-heavy games run with zero lag. Despite the huge jump in power, the device stays cool and battery life is surprisingly strong—I can get through a full day of mixed use without worrying about charging. The lightweight design and portable size remain unmatched, making it perfect for travel, note-taking, reading, and quick creative work. The display is bright, crisp, and responsive, and pairing it with the latest Apple Pencil turns it into the perfect on-the-go sketchbook or productivity device. It feels like a mini-Pro without the bulk or the price tag. If you love the iPad mini’s form factor but always wished for desktop-class performance, this is the upgrade that finally delivers. Fast, portable, and incredibly capable—hands down the best iPad mini yet.

Best iPad ever!! I wish I had bought this long before

I bought the new iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip, and it really exceeded my expectations. What surprised me most is how fast and smooth it is for everything: browsing, studying, taking notes, and using heavy apps. The screen is sharp, bright, and the colors look incredibly good for its size. Although it's small, it feels like a “pro” device. Perfect for carrying in your backpack without taking up space, and the weight is ideal for using it for long periods of time without fatigue. The battery has also been excellent: it easily lasts me all day with normal use. I'm using it for studying, reading, watching videos, and a little light editing, and I haven't had any problems. If you're looking for power, portability, and quality in a single device, this iPad mini is highly recommended. Very happy with the purchase. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

La mejor ipad que he conocido y he comprado Apple esla mejor

The iPad Mini is exactly what I was looking for — lightweight, fast, and easy to carry anywhere. The display is stunning: sharp, colorful, and bright enough for videos and games. The A15 Bionic chip makes multitasking smooth, and apps open instantly without lag. Battery life easily lasts a full day with regular use, and the updated slim-bezel design feels modern and premium. It’s the perfect balance between a phone and a full-size iPad — big enough for reading, streaming, or note-taking, but small enough to fit in a bag or even hold comfortably with one hand. If you need something powerful but compact, this is the best choice. I’m really happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for portability without sacrificing performance.

It's the best "mini" tablet on the market. It performs great, runs most games and apps without issue. The screen is bright and clear, and has touch id for screen and app unlocking. Personally, I find the more common 11 inch tablets to be too big to comfortably hold, and needed something smaller with a 8-9" screen. Unfortunately, most of the small tablet options are either really underpowered (kindle fire HD8), or miss basic quality of life features like a fingerprint sensor (Lenovo Legion Tab). I had the very similar previous gen 6 ipad mini, and really enjoyed using it. The only downside was the base storage was only 64 GB. This gen 7 version comes with 128 GB base storage, which is more than enough for lots of apps and games. It's also so often discounted by 20% from it's MSRP, almost to the point where that is the "normal" price. For this A17 ipad mini, there are some issues with "jelly scrolling," but for most casual users it's barely noticeable. Also, the screen is a 60 Hz LCD panel, so if you really need a higher refresh screen, then you should look elsewhere. Aside from those issues though, I personally feel that this ipad mini is the best general use mini-tablet available. It's also one of the few good performing mini-tablets that also offers 5G cellular connectivity as an option.

I moved from a gen 5 to this gen 7 and am generally liking it. Bigger screen on a smaller body & added flash are my favourite things. It's supposed to be peppier than my 5, and have better resolution, but I don't notice it that much, And happily, the weight remains the same. The touch button is now on the side and is quite narrow, making it very sensitive to recognizing my fingerprint; it takes a few touches sometimes. Also, the interface is now one usb-c (no more 3.5 jack) so although I am able to use my charger from my macbook air, I needed to order new headphones and can't charge and take a call at the same time. The purple is more of a cool rosy grey and very nice. I adore my ipad mini and use it tons. Way better than a smaller phone for reading, games etc, but portable enough to take most places. Because there's still no true phone, his time I decided to skip the cell feature and use my dumbphone as a hotspot when I'm away from wifi. TBH, I use my google phone way more than my phone.

I bought the newest iPad Mini this year on Mother’s Day as a gift for my wife, and she absolutely loves it. It’s the perfect size — not too big, not too small — and super lightweight, which makes it easy for her to use around the house or take on the go. The screen is sharp and vibrant, and the performance is smooth for everything she does — from watching videos to FaceTime, note-taking, and even light photo editing. The battery life easily lasts her all day, and the build quality feels premium like you’d expect from Apple. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, everyday-use iPad that doesn’t feel bulky but still delivers great power, this is the one to go with.

From a performance standpoint, the A17 Pro chip feels like a sprint compared to my old tablet — apps launch instantly, multitasking feels robust (especially for a tablet this size), and even graphic-heavy tasks stay smooth. It handles everything I throw at it from note-taking in meetings to streaming videos and creative work without a hiccup. That aligns with broader market feedback on performance and speed, which consistently tops reviewer sentiment. Portability is the killer feature. The compact 8.3-inch form factor feels futuristic in a world of oversized devices — ideal for travel, reading on the go, and one-handed use. It fits neatly into bags or purses, making it an everyday carry device, not something relegated to the desk. Users on Best Buy frequently highlight size and portability as major wins. Battery life is solid for all-day use, and the Apple Intelligence integration makes daily tasks smarter — predictive text, context-aware suggestions, and intelligent shortcuts are genuinely helpful. The Starlight finish also looks cleaner and more refined in person than product shots suggested. If I had to nitpick, it’s that Apple didn’t go full pro — there’s no Face ID, and the display refresh rate isn’t high-end gaming level — but those tradeoffs feel strategic rather than sloppy given the price and overall package. Most reviewers echo this pragmatic view of excellence with minor quibbles. Conclusion: If you want a premium, ultraportable tablet built for real-world use and next-generation intelligence features, this iPad mini is the best small tablet I’ve used. It’s not just an Apple product — it’s a strategic tool for work, creativity, and play. -Rya

Everything seemed fine other than the fact the outside of the box looks like somebody was eating Kentucky Fried Chicken while packaging it up. This is not professional.

The new iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip is incredibly fast for such a compact device. Apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and games look stunning on the bright Liquid Retina display. It’s the perfect size for travel, note-taking, and streaming on the go. The battery life easily lasts all day, and the lightweight design makes it super comfortable to hold. Apple nailed the balance between power and portability this iPad mini feels like a pocket-sized powerhouse!
