    What a change! This is a ver comfortable sized i-pad for travelors and complements my 15” Macbook Air very well. The A17 chip is plenty fast and the display is great. And yes I know Apple will update sometime in early 2026 - but this i-pad on sale hits all the buttons for most users! Do get a good cover for protection - size and materials made it a bit ‘slippery for me.

    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.

    Great device purchased to use for public presentations! Love the iPads and really like this one for pure tablet use. The new storage option for the first tier is great and the A17 chip enabling AI tools is useful.

    I’ve had this new mini for a couple of weeks now, & it exceeds my old mini (Mini 2) by a bunch - couldn’t update some apps as well as the OS. Love the new features as well!

    I enjoyed the size and weight immensely compared to my m2 it’s so easy to just throw in my jacket pocket and take with me or use one handed while walking, it actually feels like a small journal I get to carry with me.

    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.

    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.
