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!

I love my new mini IPad, Ava was a big help through my whole experience. I also love how it fits into my purse. Some times my GPS in the car doesn’t work correctly, but I always have my iPad with me in Google maps to help me get to my destination thank you, Best Buy and Ava.

I purchased the iPad mini A17 (WiFi + Cellular) as a Christmas gift for my daughter, and it has been an absolute hit. From the moment she opened it, she was obsessed—and weeks later, she’s still using it every day.
The size is perfect: compact and lightweight, yet powerful enough to handle everything she throws at it—schoolwork, drawing, streaming, games, and FaceTime with friends & family. The A17 chip makes everything feel incredibly smooth and fast, with no lag at all. Apps open instantly, graphics look amazing, and multitasking is effortless.
The WiFi + Cellular option has been a game changer. I love knowing she can stay connected safely on the go without needing to hunt for WiFi. She is also able to text friends (sorry, not yet ready to purchase her a cell). Battery life easily lasts all day, and the display is bright, crisp, and easy on the eyes.
This iPad mini strikes the perfect balance between fun, productivity, and portability. It’s hands-down one of the best tech purchases I’ve made—and seeing how much she loves it makes it worth every penny. Highly recommend for parents, students, or anyone who wants powerful tech in a perfectly sized package!

This iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip is surprisingly fast for such a small device. Everything feels smooth, apps open instantly, multitasking is easy, and Apple Intelligence features run great. I love having the Wi-Fi + Cellular option so I can stay connected anywhere, and 128GB is plenty of space for what I need.
If you want something lightweight that still packs serious power, this iPad mini is an awesome pick.
