    I bought the iPad mini as a Christmas gift for my wife. She absolutely loved it! It just the right size, bigger than her iPhone and smaller than a regular iPad. The clarity of pictures is excellent and the battery life has is great. Highly recommended.

    I enjoy this iPad because its size is very convenient for me. The text can be small so if you have vision problems it may not be for you.

    The I-pad mini is everything I hoped it would be. The display, battery life and memory is superb. This is my 3rd Mini, and will certainly not be my last. Set up was also very user friendly. Go get one today.

    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.

    I like the size better than the larger Ipads. It does everything I need and was easy to set up and restore all my programs and data using the cloud backup from my old device.

    This is my 3rd iPad mini. The size works out better for me than the other models. The A17 processor is much faster than the older models.

    Best iPad period! I grabbed the iPad mini to help streamline my daily stand-ups and note tasks, and it’s been a solid win. Pair it with the Apple Pencil &goodnotes app, and you can thank me later..

    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.
