Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love it! The battery life could be longer. The weight and size is comfortable for a young user.

Im an avid apple customer I run my entire business on macs & iOS. As an owner of all of the iPad generations, I didn't see the need for a "Mini" version, at first. But decided to buy one and WOW! I can't believe I carried that huge full size iPad around for nearly 4 years. The mini is fast & VERY light. It also fits in my cars center console. Again this thing is with me 6-10 hours a day as I run my entire company in the cloud. Apple has yet again created a product that I didn't realize I NEEDED. Very happy customer.

Without a doubt this is a fantastic device. If you are coming from a Retina display you will be disappointed. If you are not, you will never see a difference. The device just works, feels good, battery life and Verizon network speed. If you can get past the screen, then you will have a wonderful device!

Have waited a long time to purchase a tablet and researched all of the best options out there. The iPad mini does not disappoint. The screen size is perfect, and the unit is light to carry and not cumbersome to hold for long periods. The screen is beautiful! Apple definitely got it right...I take it everywhere with me.

You just can't beat an iPad for a tablet choice. The mini is very light and has great battery life and is full featured. I thought about waiting for the next gen with retina display, but then there would be a tradeoff on weight and an increase in price. with this product you get solid performance, good display, and access to all the Apple apps. The size is just right for my needs.

I love the iPad mini because of the size. Its light weight with all the features of the full size. It doesn't have the retina display but if you're not use to having it you won't miss out. Love the verizon cellular because i'm not always near wifi. The only draws as of now are with the verizon when you create your account for your data you need to be aware that it automatically renews every month which means it will debit your bank account. Instead of using my bank card I purchased a visa gift card and entered that information. With that once the $20 is debited that's it until I add a new one. The other thing is you also have to add a credit card when you create your apple account, I will be using a gift card there also.

I travel international often for my job. I have othe electronics (laptop, kindle fire, iPod touch, iPod nano). I now only carry my iPad mini and iPod touch. The mini is very capable Internet device and is easily packed in my backpack. Gets thru TSA w/o being removed from bag. Can install a free VPN on it which allows content not to be blocked outside of US (unlike the kindle fire). Camera on mini is good but not great. I only need one charger and two cords (very easy to pack). Apple has the best selection of Apps (lots of them for free).

The mini w Verizon wifi chip works great in the mountains. I get fast downloads. Wonderful video and picture taking. Easy to send and do FaceTime w family all over the country. Battery life is 3 days for me with the magnetic cover that puts it in sleep mode every time I close it. Finally it is the perfect size and light wt for my purse.

The iPad Mini is a nice little Tablet. It is the perfect size and is easily portable. I purcahsed it mainly for use as an EFB (Electronic Flight Bag), but after having lost my nook, also use it regularly as an eReader. It is also convenient for checking email when I don't wish to take the time to use my laptop, desktop or larger tablet. Overall, I am very pleased. A Windows user by habit and profession, I rather shunned Apple products. I don't regret this purchase whatsoever, however, and find it fills in a nice little gap in my technology arsenal.

The iPad mini brings all of what's great about the larger iPads in a much more manageable size. I use mine mostly for reading, both leisure and work related, as well as surfing the web, email, and watching videos. The only downside, which most people won't even notice, is that Apple left out their famous retina display on this model, most likely so that they could offer it on the next one. That means this great piece of technology could be better. Mind you, I knew that when I bought it and I have no regrets. It's still considered hi-def, I believe.

This is great tablet for mobile use. Better screen size than a phone, but still easier to travel with than a full size iPad. Even those not familiar with iOS will easily be able to pick this up and use it. If you are already in the Apple ecosystem then this is a great addition. I found it to have great battery life as well. Also, even though it is not a "retina" screen it was still very good and I had no issues with the display.

Very easy to use, screen is clear and bright, battery lasts a long time and price was not bad!

I have the larger size and and this one. The small one is great because it isn't as big and easier to just tuck in somewhere. It is durable Easy to use Sound is great Screen looks good though not a retina And very very light weight and easy to handle. I would give this 5 stars only I do not like the App Store. The competition does a better job with there App Store and there are a lot more free apps available.

Bought as first time home computer for adult. Great screen quality and easy to set up. Portable. Purchased Belkin keyboard to go with it. Even though Keyboard is small it really is pretty easy to type on . The special characters are a bit difficult to figure out. Back to the ipad. A little pricey we purchased the 32gb but it is really a great electronic device. Not quite a "computer" though we haven't tried word processing, excel etc on it yet but a GREAT portable for everything else.

I love this mini! I was worried about the size but --nope! Love it. Haven't used the cellular yet though. I can throw it in my bag, take it everywhere, use it all the time. Better than a cell phone/data plan. I use it for everything...phone, text, books, music, wifi... Could go on and on... :)

As I expected, the Mini is a great product and it is easy to take wherever I go. I use it every day, primarily to get my mail and check social networks. It is lightweight and very portable. I have 3G networking so I can take it on trips and refer to it in the car as we travel. I have all Apple products and would not ever go back to PCs.

This is my first Apple product. The setup was a breeze. I began enjoying my iPad immediately. I purchased a few apps, downloaded a video just to see how that worked and sent an email or two, all without a hitch. I did have an issue importing my contacts from Outlook and did end up calling Customer Support. The person I talked to had a problem as well because of the way my Outlook was set up but worked with it until he was able to accomplish the task - it now works seamlessly. I did attend a workshop and even though I had setup my iPad previously, I did find it worthwhile because we covered some features I thought I had no interest in and now do. The entire workshop experience was a class act. Apple knows how to provide quality products and quality support. I plan to attend other workshops.

The iPad Mini is a great product in my experience. It does everything the large iPad does but is in a smaller package. For me, larger does not always mean better. In this case, I like the slightly smaller unit because it is easier to handle and carry in my briefcase, etc.

It's the first iPad we bought. He loves the quality of the screen especially when it comes to pictures. The clarity of the pictures and how easy it is to take pictures. The ipad is easy to use. He takes it everywhere.

I am the grandma of the year! My granddaughter really wanted an iPad for college, but too many other expenses. The mini is the perfect answer. She is a long way from home but face times her mom and me at least weekly. She has discovered that with the right apps, she can do almost everything without carrying the laptop - a real plus when she needs to go to the other side of campus for classes. It is also fun for her to share pics with everyone back home since she carries it with her all the time. All her college friends want me to adopt them! The iPad mini is wonderful because of the size and functions. I'll let you know how well this lasts for her in another year...but got the extra warranty just in case she has too much fun!
