Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this for flying because it's smaller and more convenient than my laptop. I love the aps and enjoy playing games on this device. This is my first tablet. I take it to work now and can get more done because it's so portable!

The iPad mini is the perfect size for someone who wants to take their tablet every wehere with them. It has all of the features of the larger iPad and no compromises on speed, app selection, or battery life. I love the 4G LTE connection and the ability to get online anywhere. The build quality is excellent, it's not cheap feeling like many android tablets. I just wish it had the retina display!

This is my first tablet and I am very happy with the size, ease of use and functionality. I wanted something I could slip in my purse yet big enough I could easily peruse the net and read what's on the screen. I don't have any big demands of my mini but I do expect it to function efficiently, which it does quite nicely. The camera is great, love the photo booth! I felt like it was a splurge to get an iPad over other more economical tablets but now I have no regrets.

I was reluctant to buy the mini ipad because I like to have a big screen, but I basically got it to be a traveling computer since I am on the go around NYC 14 hours/day. I bought the Zagg keyboard to go with it since I hate typing long emails on the touch screen and 100% recommend that as well. When I don't have the keyboard, the ipad fits in my smallest purses and weighs the same amount as a notebook or journal - its TINY. BUT the screen size is surprisingly large and is significantly easier to view than other tablets (especially the kindle HD which I was using before). Since it is so easy to see, use, and carry I think it is absolutely a better choice than the regular ipad which feels like a concrete block in comparison. I bought the 3G version but only use wifi as of now so I can't speak to its ability to connect, but the device works very quickly in wifi settings. I use it mostly for emails, social media, calendar, note-taking, and short videos (youtube) and I could not be happier.

Easy to use, great for creditcard machine, compact, good business addition.

I love my Mini. I know it's not the bigger Retina display model and I bought it willingly. Unless you are that much of a critic it's not a big deal. I'm a tech junkie and this product is the right size, the right weight and it packs a lot of power for the budget conscious. I have my Verizon ipad on my plan and its great when out on the road and there is no Wifi. I take lots of pictures and make videos and its a good tool to show clients. Wen stashing it in a bag or traveling it can pass for a book if you get the right case.

Apple has made done it well with the iPad Mini. Very light, fits in your hand. Screen touch is perfect. Camera is excellent. Battery life is great. Just a fine tablet.

I've wanted an iPad for a while but wasn't sure what I would use it for. Well, I'm SO glad I bought it. Those that want to have lots of games, music, video and the like will definitely need to get the 32 or 64 GB model. I use it for web surfing, email, a few games, reading e-books and so much more. I like the easy portability and lightness of the mini too. It's the perfect tablet for home, business and mobile use.

The iPad mini is the perfect size tablet for families on the go. Big enough to read print on a web page, and small enough to throw in your bag. I bought one for each of my boys for their birthday and they love them. I also bought the Griffin Survivor cases to protect these and they work great. They have survived many drops and spills.

My Mom "LOVES" IT. Great Camera, FaceTime Awesome!

I had an iPad 2 and never used it much because it was too big. It just sat in my living room and I used it to look stuff up on IMDB when I was watching TV. I bought the iPad mini for work purposes without being too excited about it, but after using it a bit I have found the size and portability of it make it a far superior tool than its larger counterparts. I now leave my laptop at home most of the time and bring the iPad mini with me everywhere. Now I just need to find a man purse for it to sling over my shoulder that doesn't look too effeminate and I'll be all set.

Upgraded from 1st gen iPad to new and its better than ever. I use it for flying with cockpit charts, flight planning to reading the newspaper, e-mail, etc. It does everything I need without having to lug around a laptop.

Another great Apple product...easy to use, fast, good connectivity...would recommend!

great item my daughter loves it can't put it down.

I got angry at cell phone companies, primarily the pricing, and the alleged accidents, that cost, then the consequent bad service, so I turned to a popular video-chat provider, and use their $2.99 unlimited calling plan, that people cannot call you, but is a tiny fraction of the going rate of cell calling plans. So, I just pay Verizen forty a month for data, and voila! I use the wi-fi for free, and use the cellular (2GB) sparingly, and you can switch with the swipe of a finger back or forth. I'm getting used to it, after about 5 weeks of having it, and starting to feel quite comfortable. Tablets rule, as a third computer... I have an old Compaq desktop, directly connected to the cable-modem, along with the wireless router, which I use my Dell all-in-one with in the bedroom, and the tablets the portable! A major selling point was the high resolution cameras, since I am interested in photography. Otherwise, Samsung had caught my eye, for quality.

The iPad mini: You get just what you would expect. It's exactly like a regular iPad, but shrunk down in size. I particularly appreciate the fact that while the entire product has been made smaller, including the screen, it isn't a proportional shrinkage. When compared to the full sized iPads, the bezel on the mini is much thinner. The design is sleek and comfortable, because it's Apple. It's more expensive than any comparable competitor's products, because it's Apple. It runs iOS just like every other Apple handheld product on the market, and any apps you have pretty seamlessly transfer over to the mini. You definitely pay a premium for an Apple product. For some people it's worth it, for other people it isn't. In my opinion, if you are a novice with very little technical experience, you will be more likely to pick up the operation of the iPad than most other tablets. If you are a particularly technical user, you probably already know if this product is for you or not. One gripe that I have to include: In reading reviews before I bought the mini, I saw people complaining about the resolution of the screen. When I went into the store and played with it, I said "This looks great, retina-shmetina." After having bought and put some hours on the mini, I fully admit: I wish this had the retina display. I think it's particularly noticeable because I have an iPhone 5. If I'm doing something on my phone for a while, and then go to grab the iPad, the resolution is noticeably terrible until my eyes adjust. On average, this doesn't make the product particularly unenjoyable, but I figured it was worth mentioning/reiterating.

Great device for anyone iPads keep it simple for everyone whether for fun, work or anything in between!

I am not just a technological novice, I am pretty much a technological idiot... And I can do this. Love the unlimited uses. Love that its big enough for me to easily see, but still fits in my purse. I know I still have so much to learn, but look forward to doing so.

Apple products speak for themselves... I think they are the best at what they do. This iPad mini is convenient, small and super fast. Reccomended to anyone. I also have a galaxy tablet hate it, iPad mini is way better specially I'd you tech savvy!

It's the perfect size for a student, handy to slip into a bag or purse.
