    I needed to replace my older ipad because it wasn’t abkr to update - one of the ongoing issues eotj apple and other devices. They have access tp update fora few years and then suddenly they disable updates except minimal old versions. I liked my older ipad and enjoy my new mini. Like the size of the mini - easier to hold but current updates!

    I wanted a small device for all my books, my daughter bought the mini iPad and I love she uses it for school and does all her notes, and small enough for Carie with her even on her pants. I was going to buy a Kindle device but after a sow mi iPad I was sold. I went and bought a mini iPad. I love it!

    Love this! My old one was getting too slow and didn't have enough memory to upgrade each time it needed to. I am very pleased with both the unit and the purchasing ease.

    I love the form factor of the new iPad mini. With the A17 Pro chip, it is incredibly fast and handles gaming and multitasking with ease. It’s the perfect size for reading and travel. Shipping from Best Buy was super fast, and the item arrived brand new and sealed. Highly recommended!

    I really did not need a mini but since Best Buy offered me a decent trade in value for my mini 6 and it was on sale, I went ahead and purchased it for the storage and future proofing the device. As far as I can tell there really was no discernible difference between the 6 and the a17 pro except for Apple intelligence.

    The size is perfect. Great for when I want something bigger than my phone but don’t need to be on the laptop. Really the only improvement I would want is 120 hz refresh for the screen.

    I didn't want a big iPad, but I wanted a bigger screen than my phone and something that I could easily pull out of the bag's front pocket, and the Mini does that. The mini can do everything my phone can (this model has cellular) and everything the bigger iPads can do. Its size is what makes it a winner for me. My airline's apps and Maps also helped me navigate the airport. While running through the airport or sitting in the lounge waiting for my flight, I listened to an audiobook and kept up with messages with family. I watched the new Alien movie on the plane and did some light reading. When I am home, it's more of an ebook reader or a recipe book. Its small size is perfect for reading and tends to be something I toss around like a paperback book. It's not odd to lose it in the couch cushions.

    Exactly what I needed for my business trips. I wanted a smaller version of the iPad Pro that I could use to take notes, assessments, teams meetings and watch movies during leisure time on the plane. (90% business traveler)

    The online purchase and trade in process was simple and straightforward. Once in the store for pickup, I was impressed with the courteous and professional demeanor of the sales staff. Last but not least, the product (256 GB iPad mini is fantastic)
