    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
