    I absolutely love that iPad mini. I take it with me everywhere! So easy to write on and take notes all day long! I never noticed that it’s dying, because it lasts so long!

    It fits my 'cheap Amazon case', and works great with the new Apple Pencil (Yep, won't even charge the older model), but it's faster and clearer than the previous model, and the battery lasts a lot longer too. I've never had 'jelly scrolling' so can't comment on that but apparently if it's doing that while reading an eBook, you are doing something wrong. The color isn't a deep blue, which was rather interesting. In some light it almost looks grayish. I upgraded because the battery in my Mini 6 was bad, so from a 6, might not be a huge upgrade, but for earlier mini models, this will be very welcome... This is still The One iPad To Travel With!

    It will make you want to draw it will make you wanna create a handy and always portable and light the light out of all of them and the USB-C you could just get an SD card adapter and it just all your photos all in one shot. Gemini is great as far as multitasking and talking to it at the same time

    This new iPad Mini7 was long and coming, and although it does not have a huge step up over the iPad Mini6, it’s at least 30% faster, and runs AI components, at least double the speed — where they are even supported on the previous iPad mini. I haven’t tried the new Apple pencil, but I understand it is much better for general drawings than the previous version of the pencil. my four year old iPad battery was dying anyway, and the cost of replacing it versus the cost of trading it in on a new iPad mini seven sealed the deal.

    I miss the headphone jack + flimsy power button.

    I've been using the new iPad for a while now, coming from an iPad Mini 4, and honestly, I don't see much of a difference. One thing that's really bothering me is the lack of a headphone jack. There have been times when my wireless headphones are dead or when I forget them at home, and all I have left are wired headphones. It’s frustrating not to have that option anymore. Another issue is the power button—it feels flimsy, and I can already tell it’s not going to last long. Overall, it's a decent device, but these two features could use some improvement.

    Good quality, a little more speed, can drag picking up WiFi but that could be the spectrum, harder to find email addresses

    An Improvement Over the Last Version

    This iPad mini is a big improvement over the last series, but it somehow just doesn't feel like a truly premium piece of electronics. For the price, I wish it had more of a high end feel to it. But it gets the job done.

    Perfect device and size for my needs. Wanted something to replace notepads at work, but didn't want a large device to carry around. The mini with Apple Pencil Pro is perfect. Downloaded GoodNotes, and the combination has been the best thing for my needs.

    Great size and efficiency. The only thing that's not convenient for me is the touch on the side and not on the screen, because I usually use it laterally.

    This was to replace an iPad mini 6 whose battery was not up to par. The Pencil pro support is nice, but I dont use the pencil as much as my wife, who loves them. This is great for a bedtime reader. I prefer iPad Pro for comics, though.

    First off let me say I love my iPad mini. However, I have to also say that the color I ordered is not what I received. This does not affect the mini in any way, just an FYI. This was a disappointment for me but I was unwilling to return as this was an online order and the closest store is 150 miles away. Works as expected, clear picture, and so far system operates flawlessly. Overall happy with my purchase.
