Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro): Apple Intelligence, 8.3-inch Liquid Retina Display, 128GB, Wi-Fi 6E, 12MP Front/12MP Back Camera, Touch ID, All-Day Battery Life — Space Gray

Got this for my wife, who's an avid eBook reader and casual mobile gamer. We're not getting any younger, so even if our eyeballs were still as sharp as ever (and they're not), regardless of zoom settings, there's something to be said for not having to scroll or turn the (digital) page as quite as often, when you're really into a good story. At the same time, she didn't want some cumbersome lunch tray of-a-device to worry about breaking. The Mini is the happy medium she needed: Good and manageable screen size, good battery life, performant, dead-simple to use esp. for veteran iPhone owners. Her games look great on it, too.

I love iPads. I’ve had one ever since they came out because of the ease of use, good connection, and speed. The battery life makes it a good value. So this smaller version was purchased as a Christmas present for my 10-year-old daughter. She uses my old iPhone 7 to play games and text. So with all my experiences with Ipads, I'm confident the mini will be the same great quality with the same durability, clear screen and ease of viewing pages as the bigger Ipad. I like the way it looks, because it’s smaller, lighter, can easily fit in ny purse. I might have to get one for myself as well. I'm not ready to allow her to have a phone connected for calls. She can engage in learning apps for school and feel like it's her own device that we still keep at home without the worry of her losing it. I hate seeing kids constantly glued to their devices. So I know time management, self control, discipline, and many conversations about how to use it for education are going to be a part of the our learning process. Plus it’s going to be a good punishment reminder if rules aren’t followed. I will be buying a good screen protector and case to insure a lasting durable product.

I wrote my revew on this tablet. 1. Firstly, the value for your money is great. If you are used to big screens, this tablet may seem a bit small, but it is non-crammed and perfect for transportation. Secondly, The compatability is awesome with many apps, not only because it is apple, but because the specs are very fast and smooth. Thirdly, the wifi is AWESOME. My wifi has been excelent during my use of this tablet. Beautiful. 4. Now, don’t get me started on the looks. This tablet is beautiful. The starlight color is a beautiful, star white, and reminds me of pearls and stars, like the name describes. The camera is not too big, but works perfectly, and the front camera has awesome capabilities, while blending in with the screen. The screen’s brightness is bright like the sun, and I usually keep it down, but it is very helpful for outside work. If you purchase a matching pencil, it fits perfectly on the top and looks sleek and stays on. In conclusion, this tablet is perfect for multitasking and transporting, while holding all the capabilities as one of their bigger models.

This IPAD Mini has become my primary go-to mobile device for media and reading kindle books. The screen is over twice the size of my Iphone 15 pro, yet it is still fairly easy to hold in my hand. When I decided to buy the IPAD Mini, I was originally thinking of a newer larger iphone, but I still have payments on my iphone 15 and high-end new iphones are easily twice as expensive as the mini. The speakers are decent, certainly better than an iphone. I bought and use the cellular option, to me it's worth the price. I regularly use it at the gym, or take it along if I have waiting time at an appointment. It easily sits on the kitchen window sill when I am washing dishes, and I frequently use it while in bed, it's not much more trouble to hold than an iphone. No, it does not have the latest and greatest technology, but it is more than adequate. For those looking for something larger than an iphone but still relatively portable, I highly recommend it.

Bought this to replace my iPad mini 4 that became permanently obsolete, unable to upgrade past iOS 15. Priced well, through Amazon warehouse deal, with small damage spot on outer box. A no brainer to save $60. This is the most powerful small sized tablet I’ve used and loving it. Easy and convenient, with awesome battery life and easy charging. Secure and easy to use with fingerprint recognition tech. Prefer this over any phone ever. I’ve become an Apple fan, even though I haven’t bought any Apple products before my first iPad mini.
