Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have an iPad air and MacBooks but wanted something to use on long flights that would be more compact but still have a nice display. This is it. I watched some downloaded content as well as videos available on the aircraft’s WiFi. Listened to audio through Bluetooth headphones. Perfect. My iPad air has cellular but i opted for this WiFi version because i can use my phone as a hotspot. Best Buy’s delivery was fast and convenient. Im happy!

Very happy with the iPad mini 7. I had previously had the iPad mini 6 with 64gb of storage (which wasn't enough) so in purchasing this one I definitely wanted more storage so I opted for the 256gb. It is a great content streaming device, which I primarily use it for and the size makes it so easy to take along with me on vacation. The A17pro chip is quite a step up from the previous chipset and is powerful enough to play some heavy duty games, if so desired. I am pleased with this purchase and I got a very generous trade-in from Best Buy on my iPad mini 6 which made it a no brainer. No regrets.

Excellent! Replaced an IPad mini 4, and I had been waiting for this release for a while. Love the 8.3” size, and how much faster it is. Also, the base is 128gb but I got the 256gb. I highly recommend!

Great size! Not to big not to small. Made it into a mini laptop. Great product from apple as always.

This iPad is amazing I upgraded my daughters old iPad and it’s the perfect size for a tween she loves it for games

My partner and I were planning ahead to buy this and did research. When going in-person, the Apple and Best Buy associate did a fantastic job with determining the best specifications. For the iPad Mini, it is a great tablet with a great size for those with smaller hands but is just as efficient as the other M3 processors out there. Very easy form factor and good for travel.

,,,small & light enough to carry in a bag for travel. Screen is clear. I am hoping to figure out how to download a couple of movies to watch while traveling. (The phone is just too small for movie watching.) I was expecting to have my apps from the old iPad transferred when I set up the new mini. Some did not. It is an adjustment for me to set an alarm on my phone reminding me to take it off the charger. With this newer type of battery, it is recommended to take it off the charger when charged for longer battery life. I have not taken photo's yet. All in all, it should be a good replacement for my old iPad of many years. I am bitter to have to replace the old iPad because it started dragging after updates a while back... likely Apple nudging consumers to buy, buy, buy...

This is a great size iPad that can easily be held in one hand. If your looking for a bigger screen than your phone but still what a portable easy to hold in one hand device this is the option. I have an iPad Pro 12' screen and find myself grabbing this more often. if you put a popIt handle on the back it is really easy to have a solid hold on it with one hand.

It was a gift for my daughter. She loves it. The new style, ease, and speed…all of it.

iPad mini is the perfect size for travel. I liked my regular iPad but this checked all the boxes and with excellent battery life. On top of that, Best Buy was offering $100 off and better trade in value for my old model than the Apple.

Got this to replace my iPad Mini 5th gen. I didn’t have enough memory available to update to IOS 26. It still works fine using IOS 18.3.2, but when this iPad Mini A17 Pro went on sale for Cyber Monday, I couldn’t resist. Setup was easy and it works well. I’ve always had a good experience with all the iPads and Minis I’ve purchased over the years. And with 256GB memory available, this should last me for many years.

A little smaller than my old iPad mini, it is much smarter and faster. The size makes it more portable which is good.for me. It is taking some adjusting bcz the new features such as multiple screens takes some learning. But I love the auto correction which is better than past Apple products.

So glad I bought the iPad mini. It’s the perfect size for reading and easy to take with me on trips.

Good performance and sufficient screen resolution for reading and browsing. We love compact size of this iPad and light weight to carry. Front camera resolution is average compared to phone for video call and selfie photos

Great to surf the web and more. Perfect size to carry it everywhere. Peak performance for heavy apps. It’s a fun devise, not meant for work.

Love it! I was torn between the mini and the iPad Air, but because of the mini's size I opted for the 256GB. I am very happy with it. It's perfect to fit into a slip briefcase or purse or small carry-bag. I don't game on it, so that was not a priority in my decision-making. It has replaced my old Kindle and my old Android 10 inch tablet perfectly! The battery life is exactly what they say it is, and it syncs with my Macbook brilliantly.

Perfect for reading, playing games or scrolling the internet. Awesome size. Easy to hold or to take on the go.

I bought this for my mom for Christmas to replace her old ipad mini. Its slightly smaller overall than her old one which is great. The inly issue we had is transferring her music amd pictures from her old one to this one but that’s due to not being able to upgrade to iOs 14 or newer on the old one. A bit disappointing that apple hasnt fixed that issue but overall its a great device.

We have been Best Buy’s customers for years from buying house hold appliances to electronic devices, Best Buy’s always stands by their products and their employees are courteous and helpful, We’ve always checked around for good sales and always came back to Best Buy, they matched other stores price, we bought various iPads from them and this time I wanted a mini iPad for traveling.

Purchased for my wife. She used to have a mini, then moved to an air a few years ago. Time to upgrade due to battery life over time getting shorter. She desired to go back to mini - likes the size better. Nice unit, nice display, works well. I personally would probably prefer a larger size. But she reads a lot of digital books and likes the mini size much better.
