    Bought this as a replacement for a mini 4. Overall I am pleased with the new ipad. Took a little while to get used to not having a home button, but now I like it better. I am a little bit disappointed in the battery life as I expected it to be better.

    It’s Great for photo editing on the go! The only thing I’d like to say is that when using a power heavy program like Lightroom the battery depletes very quickly.

    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.

    A Tablet For All Your Needs

    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 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!

    The Perfect Balance of Power and Portability

    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!

    Better than I expected

    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.
