    Amazing device. I’ve been recommending it to everyone I know. Plenty of power for what I need, large battery life and perfect size.

    I had a iPad mini 5th generation and decided it was time to upgrade. I am very pleased with this new one. It was very easy to transfer info to the new one. It is faster than my old one and I think the battery life is longer. I use it to watch movies and read books. I also love the size as you can carry it with you and it is not heavy. I love it.

    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.

    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!

    iPad Mini - great upgrade

    Upgraded from my old mini, but I got this on sale and love it so far. Handles my games and reading well which is mostly what I do and some multitasking for apps (quick budgets, emails, etc). The size is perfect for travel, and watching/reading/games on the go. I also use it for patterns and recipes so it’s good for what I need it for. The battery life was also an upgrade. It does miss some features that the regular iPad has, I don’t love the colors, and it feels super pricey, but because of the almost $200 discount I got it was worth it.

    This is the iPad most people should buy. It's very fast and has a beautiful screen. Easy to hold and use, plays any game with ease and built very well. Battery life is very good for being a smaller device, will last multiple days unless you play a lot of games. Highly recommended.

    The perfect size for kids of all ages. I love this iPad. The functionality, picture quality and usability are all top notch. Easy to travel with and durable. Even with a case it easily fits our bag and is so convenient.

    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.

    My second iPad mini

    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.

    One of the best Apple products. Really lightweight, decent size for everyday use, especially if you want to use it for note-taking in daily life, or school. Works as a nice book reader plus!

    Big yet small

    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.

    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.

    I always thought the iPad mini was a waste of money because it's so much smaller. But that's the beauty in it. I love being able to fit it in my purse so I can digitally plan, have a nice screen if I want to watch something on the go or something light for the couch. I barely pick up my iPad air. I think the iPad mini is great for a casual experience but you will need a bigger screen if it's for school.

    The iPad mini is good but pricey. I got it on sale so it wasn't too bad. I wouldn't pay full price though. Speed and screen are good. I like the compact size. This is my first iPad, so I'm still getting use to 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 6 has become my go-to device for nearly everything. I use it daily for note-taking, reading the news, entertainment, and so much more. What I love most is its size it hits the sweet spot perfectly. It's not so small that it feels cramped, yet it's large enough to comfortably handle real work and tasks without feeling like I'm lugging around a full-sized tablet. Truly the most convenient device I own.
