Customer Ratings & Reviews

The screen was sluggish right out of the box. I'm surprised at how apple allowed this product to be released without trying out the smoothness of the graphics when switching pages on the home screen. I attached a picture of the home page as it was transitioning to the main page. Look how blurry the icons are.

I recently purchased the iPad Mini, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and features. The compact size makes it incredibly portable, perfect for carrying around without feeling bulky. The display is sharp and vibrant, offering excellent clarity for reading, streaming, and browsing. The battery life is outstanding, easily lasting a full day with regular use. I also appreciate the smooth and responsive performance, whether I'm multitasking, playing games, or using productivity apps. The build quality is sleek and premium, as expected from Apple. Overall, the iPad Mini is a fantastic device that offers great value for its price. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, portable tablet.

Honestly, it's the perfect sized device for journaling and watching YouTube. It's light, has a crisp screen, and feels smooth to use despite the 60hz refresh rate. It's high pixel density makes reading Kindle books feel nice too, although it's hard to beat e-ink. It's very portable and easy to throw into my messenger bag when I am on the go. It feels significantly bigger than my phone without being too cumbersome to hold with one hand. It seems like the perfect companion device to a larger laptop or tablet for primary productivity. A solid choice for the small form tablet market, a sadly overlooked niche most of the time.

As a trainee pilot, the iPad mini 7 is exactly what I needed—super portable, fits perfectly in my flight bag and cockpit. It handles flight apps smoothly and is also great for watching shows and reading during downtime. Lightweight, fast, and easy to carry everywhere!

I absolutely love the iPad Mini A17 Pro—it’s everything I hoped for and more! While some may hesitate to upgrade due to the lack of groundbreaking changes, this device truly shines as an introduction to the iPad lineup. One standout feature is the new Apple Intelligence integration, which hasn’t received nearly enough attention. Gaining access to these innovative tools, along with the Apple Pencil Pro support, improved storage options, and the elimination of “jelly scrolling,” sets this iPad apart from its predecessor. While these may not feel like massive upgrades to some, they create an amazing opportunity for anyone new to the iPad ecosystem. Of course, everyone’s daily use will influence their decision, but for me, the iPad Mini A17 Pro has been the perfect investment. It’s portable yet offers a larger screen, making it ideal for illustrations and casual entertainment. Whether you’re looking for your first iPad or upgrading to meet specific needs, I can’t recommend it enough!

I recently purchased the iPad Mini 7, and it has been an absolute game-changer. This device has become my go-to companion that I carry everywhere. It’s lightweight, super portable, and the perfect size to slip into any bag or just hold in hand. The display is crisp and vibrant, making it awesome for watching videos, reading, or getting some quick work done on the go. All in all, this iPad Mini 7 is just the best thing ever—I wouldn’t want to be without it!

I have an iPad Pro, so I wasn't sure if I would like the mini. I only bought this because of its size. I am surprised at how much I use this. Because of the small size, I find myself taking this with me just about everywhere. I can drop it in my bag or just carry it with me. It runs my production tools very well, and has fast performance. I keep my documentation in Evernote, so everything is at my finger tips. All my apps run just as well on this as on my ipad pro with a few obvious exceptions. Video editing is limited. This can do it for small videos, but with the A17 chip, the Mini can't be expected to be a powerhouse. Basic video editing works fine. The screen is good, but don't expect it to look like an OLED. It's the convenience and small form factor that makes the iPad Mini shine. Unless I expect to do something that requires processing power, this is the device I carry.

I’ve changed form factors on iPads a few times now. This is my second iPad mini (I had the 2nd generation). I like the size but I never liked the storage. This 256 gb iPad is just what I needed. The physical and storage sizes fit with my life really well. My iPad fits in the smallest of my EDC slings and is really the most portable of all the iPads. The lighter weight is a plus, too. The ability that Apple builds into its devices to automatically start the hotspot on my phone is great, but for me it wasn’t enough and I did exchange this for the WiFi+Cellular unlocked version. I like not having to take my phone with me but still be as connected as I want to be, and what is the point of such a portable device without having to find free WiFi everywhere you go?

Ideal for everyday casual use. Clearly read news articles, instagram, etc. Battery lasts all day and quickly recharges. Processor fast for all tasks thrown at it. You just have to know what your needs are and not expect large display. Easy game player. Very light to hold and carry.

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.

Great IPad and awesome size. Works awesome and is very fast

I recently purchased the new iPad Mini 7 from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The product itself is amazing—lightweight, powerful, and the display quality is stunning. It’s perfect for reading, browsing, and taking on trips. Best Buy’s service was excellent as well. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helped me set up everything quickly. The checkout process was smooth, and the pickup was fast and well organized. Overall, both the iPad Mini 7 and Best Buy’s service exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended!

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.

The iPad mini 7 is an outstanding device that perfectly balances performance and portability. Its compact size makes it incredibly easy to carry anywhere, yet it delivers powerful performance that rivals larger tablets.

I’ve got my second iPad mini, and it’s a great upgrade from my old mini 6. This 7th-gen model is a bit faster and comes with some cool Apple features, so it’ll last me a few more years. If you’re looking for a tablet that’s perfect for watching movies and browsing the web, this is the one for you. It’s got a bigger screen than your phone and is super lightweight, so it’s easy to carry around.

It is the perfect size for mobility. I had a nexus 7 years ago and loved it. iOS is so much better for me and the size allows me to carry it in my jacket pocket. I like the usb c connection and the speed.

I love my iPad Mini (6th Generation). The main reason I love the iPad Mini is the size of the tablet. It's a great size (8.3 inches). It is not too big nor too small. It's the perfect size. I do travel a lot, and having a small portable tablet is important.

Great size, fast, very convenient for reading manga, watching movies. When I build legos with my GF, she uses the physical book while I use the Lego app on the iPad and it’s a similar size so it works out great. Also as a monitor for flying the drone.

So I’ve been using my new iPad mini 7 for a little over a month now and I absolutely love it. I used to have a 512GB 4th Gen iPad Pro that used and for about 5 years but grew tired of it as it was just too big to be carrying around. Don’t get me wrong I loved the size if the iPad Pro’s screen but thr added weight was a bit much. The size of this iPad mini 7 is perfect. Easy to carry around and toss into my slingbag with no issues. And battery life has been fine. Plus its able to get Apple Intelligence.

This is the perfect size and functionality. Its weirdly lighter than what it looks like. You wont be missing much using this iPad other than size and the ProMotion display.
