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!

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.

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.

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.

I bought the iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip primarily to use while flying my plane, and it has been outstanding. The compact size is perfect for cockpit use. It fits easily on a kneeboard and never feels bulky or in the way. The screen is bright and sharp, making navigation charts and flight apps easy to read even in direct sunlight.
Performance is fast and smooth. Aviation apps like ForeFlight run flawlessly, with quick map loading and no lag when switching between charts, weather, and flight plans. Battery life has been reliable for long flights, and the lightweight design makes it comfortable to use for hours.
The build quality feels premium, and the blue color looks great. Storage is more than enough for all my maps and documents. Overall, this iPad mini has become an essential tool in my cockpit, and I would highly recommend it to any pilot or anyone who wants powerful performance in a small device.

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.

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!

Just got it today and i love it …even though idk if to call it a downgrade because iwent from a 12.9 ipad pro 5th gen to the mini but only because the size was jst too much and not convenient. Its still going to be in use ihave it to my sisters husband which he is a tall guy wayy bigger and also kinda blind so the big screen most definitely will be lots of help. But loke isaid in my opinion its not a downgrade iwent from 128gb to 256gb and its perfect size ican have it with me literally anywhere. And thats what iwant whether its at work or for my personal use . So im happy with it and igot the apple pencil pro as well as a strong case that will protect and yet its still small i love it!

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.

I have an iPad Pro also, but I find myself using my mini more because of its portability. The battery life is nice and I can read my Kindle ebooks in color.

Best purchase ever. Didn’t know how much I use it until I took a chance and bought it, worth every penny. Use it daily and its perfect size. Runs great since it has the same chip as the iPhone 15 pro

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.

Works good for reading and note taking. Using it mainly for a post graduate program and it does everything I need. I have an Ipad Pro that I use for many task, but this device is easy to use on the go and for late night reading.

The best tablet out there! Paired with the Apple Pencil Pro, you can be creative and productive. On its own you can stream, play games or read a book with all the latest and greatest features. Just buy it. I doubt you’ll regret it!

I bought this to mainly use as an e-reader/comic/manga reader. I lover the screen size and I think it is perfect for my needs. I had a 12.9in iPad Pro that I used to use but it got tiring holding that to read especially with as case on it.

Sooo much better than my Amazon Fire tablet!
Faster, sharper and more functionality.
Love that ability to unlock it using the finger sensor.
