The iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip is a pocket-sized powerhouse. It’s incredibly fast, beautifully portable, and the Wi-Fi + Cellular model keeps you connected wherever you go. With 128GB of storage, there’s plenty of room for creative tools, documents, and entertainment. The Space Gray finish adds a touch of understated class.
That said, I wish it featured Face ID. While Touch ID is solid, face unlocking would’ve elevated the experience to match its premium feel. Still, it’s a stellar tablet that punches far above its weight.

I have not had this APPLE with A17 pro chip, very long. I have liked it, but a problem with viewing writing spaces on several apps. I will only see a bit of the bottom of the letters, and in some cases I cannot see or go up to where I started writing. I will contact APPLE. I am also not so thrilled with the placement of the volume and the on/off/unlock button. Plus, if you need to take an screenshot it is hard to push the volume button and the turn on/off/unlock button at the same time. A bit awkward. Otherwise, very happy with its performance, speed, and new features. It has more storage, as standard than my last one. It also has better graphics, I can easily do more projects at one time, and the battery lasting way longer than my last iPad mini.
Overall, I am pleased with this latest iPad mini.

The mini IPad with the Pro Chip is the latest and greatest! I bought the mini IPad because it fits in my purse which is convenient for me to use on the go. I don’t have to have an additional bag to carry it around in. The pro pencil works great with this IPad. New and improved features and programs with this model.

This Ipad mini has been a game changer! I am an andriod user and have had various tablets, but this little gem has by far been my go-to for all things computer related. I can walk the warehouse, respond to emails, receive cargo, and veiw the floor by camera, text Zoom, call training, review policies, take pictures, or watch a movie! It literally does everything i need it to and some and is easy to carry. I LOVE THIS THING!

Picked up the iPad Mini 7 and I’m loving it so far. Super light, easy to hold in one hand, and it’s way faster than I expected for such a small tablet. The 128GB base storage is finally enough for my apps, movies, and games without stressing. Screen looks sharp and bright, and the battery easily lasts me a full day.
Only minor gripe — still stuck at 60Hz, so it’s not as buttery smooth as the iPad Pro. But honestly, for reading, streaming, and gaming it’s more than fine. If you want something portable but powerful, this is it.

I've been using the iPad mini for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded my expectations. The compact size is ideal for one-handed use, making it perfect for reading, browsing, and streaming on the go. The A17 Pro chip ensures everything runs smoothly, from multitasking to gaming. Battery life is impressive, easily lasting a full day with regular use. The vibrant display enhances the viewing experience, and the 128GB storage provides ample space for apps and media. It's a fantastic device that combines portability with performance

For me personally I think the iPad mini is a great size. It's fast and convenient. I personally don't feel I should have gotten the cellular version because I do not plan on connecting a data plan but all in all the iPad mini is a great tablet.

I recently got the newest iPad Mini and I’m seriously impressed. It’s so fast. apps open instantly, games run smoothly, and multitasking is a breeze. One amazing feature is the Apple Pencil support, which makes it perfect for note-taking, drawing, or even just keeping kids entertained with educational apps. The size is ideal for travel or little hands, and the display is super sharp and vibrant. I'd recommend this to people with kids or anyone who wants a compact yet powerful device. Definitely worth the investment!

Basic travel friendly ipad for basic needs!!! It’s perfect for my needs and size as well as weight was a deciding factor for me. I have an ipad pro and a mac book but I find myself using this ipad mini more and taking it with me everywhere with ease. Its not heavy and a perfect travel companion.
