Customer Ratings & Reviews

The iPad mini has quickly become my favorite Apple device because it strikes the perfect balance between power and portability. The size is ideal—small enough to hold comfortably with one hand, yet large enough to read, watch videos, and get real work done without feeling cramped. Performance is excellent. Apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and everything from note-taking to streaming and light photo editing runs effortlessly. The display is sharp and vibrant, making it great for reading, browsing, and watching content. I especially love how easy it is to carry around the house or throw into a bag without adding weight. Battery life has also been impressive. I can use it throughout the day for emails, web browsing, and entertainment without constantly worrying about charging. Touch ID is fast and convenient, and the overall build quality feels premium, as expected from Apple. If you want a tablet that’s powerful but not oversized, the iPad mini is an excellent choice. It’s perfect for everyday use, travel, and anyone who prefers a compact device without sacrificing performance. Highly recommended.

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.

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

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.

Perfect size and great performance. The iPad mini is lightweight, easy to carry, and powerful enough for everyday use. The screen is bright and clear, apps run smoothly, and the battery lasts all day. Great for browsing, streaming, reading, and travel. Very happy with this purchase.

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 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.

The compact size is perfect for carrying around without feeling bulky, and it still packs incredible performance. The display is crisp, bright, and vibrant, making streaming videos, reading, and browsing an absolute joy. Battery life easily lasts through my entire day, even with heavy use. I also love how seamless it is to use with my other Apple devices, thanks to great ecosystem integration. Whether for work, entertainment, or creative tasks, the iPad Mini delivers top-notch performance in a small package. Highly recommend!

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.

My wife loves her new iPad, set up fast and easy, light weight helps with her arthirtist in her hands, and screen size is good.

I recently bought an iPad mini, and after using it for a bit, I’m really impressed. The size is perfect — small and light enough to hold comfortably with one hand, but still powerful enough to handle everything I use. I find it ideal for reading, browsing, streaming, and quick work on the go. It feels more capable than a phone but far more convenient than a full-size tablet. I am very happy with the purchase

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.
