    Still adjusting to smaller size but performance is excellent as with my prior larger iPad Pro. The mini retains much of the excellence of function in a more compact size.p

    I wanted a tablet but did not want something too big. I like Apple producs but for this was willing to go with something else that was less expensive since it is just for browsing, etc. I have a full size iPad in the house but it’s too big. I saw the Mini and really liked the size, and surprisingly, there is really no other tablet with the same size and form factor as the Mini. I waited for it to go on sale and got it Open Box to maximize the savings and it looks and works like new as is the case with most Open Box items at Best Buy. Anyway, it’s Apple, it’s good if you like Apple, simple as that

    I purchased this iPad mini to replace the previous version simply for more storage space. I was surprised it was not as easy to set up from my other device, as setups usually are. I worked around it and got everything set up manually. Not sure what happened, but it’s all good now. The color is so light, you can barely tell it’s purple. Wish the color was a little deeper. I was able to use the cover from my previous device, happy about that. Battery seems to last a couple days so far with light use. I’ll see how it goes as I use it more. No complaints, just a slight upgrade.

    I wasn't sure just how often I'd use it... but I am surprised that I use it daily. It's really handy when you don't want the larger version at the moment and the phone is simply too small a screen. I use it for taking notes, as a palm Bible and for quick internet searches.

    I wanted something smaller in size and more compact so I could take it places I go and the iPad mini does just that. It was an excellent choice for me since I already have a iPhone 16 Pro max with the bigger screen. In reality I just needed something to read emails, respond back to texts while at home or to do a quick internet search. This is a perfect size iPad for anyone looking for a compact device, this would be great on airplane trips you can watch movies and listen to podcasts on it.

    I got the iPad 10th gen first, thinking I'd be okay with the size and A15 chip. The price of the mini is steep, and that may deter you from buying this but if you're looking for a smaller iPad, if you want a processor that can get things done a little faster with the A17 Pro chip, and if you want the pencil support, this is the device you need. Yes, the price is a little more expensive, and that is a negative for sure. But the device itself is worth the cost and once you use the mini in person you'll realize how great of a device this is.

    Comparing with mini 5

    mini 7 minimized the space around the screen so the 2D dimension is smaller and it is easier to be held by hand. It can be better if mini 7 can have the round edges on mini 5.

    Love this little iPad with all the features I need. It’s lightweight and easy to travel with. Has lots of accessories available per personal choice. Love this iPad for Netflix viewing, working on my projects while traveling. Only downside is battery runs down fast.

    The A17 Pro really gives a big performance boost over the iPad mini 5, and the larger screen size makes it much better for reading books, mangas, and magazines. And the subtle purple really looks great.
