I spent 7 hours researching a good ipad. I wanted something to use in my hand, not to big or small. I am coming from the iPad mini 5th generation and WOW is this a huge step up. So many great things about it. Not one bad thing at all. I have 9 apple products and love them all. I’m well pleased. Apple does it again. I am glad that I got a good price for this. Apple and eBay sells this for $100 more so I bought it from Amazon. I am so glad that I did. It is super fast. Great feel, quality and awesome camera. The picture quality is unreal. It is very portable even with a case on it. The storage is great. I have 30GB free even after the new iOS install. This is a larger screen than the iPad 5th generation. No more home button, yay. I love the round square edges. I love the pencil 2 charging option. The new A15 bionic chip is awesome. So fast. The battery last 10 hours. Everything loads faster and better. My web pages load so much faster. The video content is awesome. I am very impressed. The 8.3″ screen is larger than the 7.9″ screens and you can tell the difference. I love the edge to edge viewing. The colors are so very real and vibrant. I highly recommend this. Must buy. I buy a new ipad Everytime they come out with the mini.

First let me tell you I was hesitant about buying an iPad Mini. I even considered buying an iPad Pro: I have had two 9.7″ iPads (series 4 and series 6) so I thought I would miss a larger screen. Turns out, I didn’t. I will give you a few hints on what to expect with this device:Pros:* Higher resolution: One of the main factors that led me to buy this tiny beast was the screen resolution (319 ppi), which is higher than any other iPad’s resolution. I highlight this feature because I use my iPad primarily to read and watch IT videos.* Portability (it’s really lightweight! You will be astounded when you pick one of these)* Size (You can hold the whole device with one hand while writing with the other, something unthinkable in larger iPads).* Battery life (Discharge rate: about 5% / hour when playing videos; Charge rate: about 10% / 14 min)* TouchID (Very convenient, and it recognizes the fingerprint very quickly)* Stereo speakers (they sound really good!)* Apple Pencil support (When paired with an Apple pencil, it’s a breeze. I’m using a note-taking application that allows me to use my iPad as a small notebook. It made me wish I had done this while I was still studying).* Three months of Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and Apple Music (Apple gives you three months of Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and Apple Music by only purchasing the device. So I’m enjoying a series in Apple TV+ “For all mankind” and it really looks great in this screen. I’m planning to watch other productions during these three months).Cons:* No silent mode switch (I use teh control center to lower the volume when needed)* No FaceID (I use the TouchID and it’s very convenient and fast)* No raise to wake (I gently double tap the screen to wake it up).* No Promotion (There is no workaround to this. The device has a standard 60hz screen, so you will have to decide if you accept it or not)* Some users report sort of a “jelly effect” in the screen when you fast scroll the screen. I haven’t noticed anything similar to this behavior in any direction (up, down in vertical nor portrait mode).A word of advice about storage:* If you’re thinking about this device, go for the 256 GB one. That was my selection, and I’m glad I did it, because after only one week of usage, I have already used 35 GB of storage. Had I selected the 64 GB version, I would be worried about the storage already.Conclusion:The iPad mini lacks some features its bigger brothers have, but despite this fact, this is totally a great device. If you can sacrifice those features in favor of portability (or you find a way to sort them, as I did), you won’t regret. Hopefully we will be able to see an “iPad Pro Mini” in the future (I hope Apple folks read this review someday), but for now, I’m very happy with this purchase. I’m declaring myself an iPad mini fan from now on.

The iPad is my favorite accessibility tool. My 12.9″ iPad Pros (one for work, one for home) are my go-to tools all day long. Being visually-impaired, they’re a godsend. But, they’re also heavy, and a bit clumsy in some cases. As a magnifier, for example.For years I’ve been using an old 2017 10.5″ iPad Pro as a magnifier and general-use tool on my workbench. However, it was getting slow and cranky, plus the battery was losing charge pretty quickly. I decided to replace it with this iPad mini, since compared to most dedicated accessibility tools, it’s rather inexpensive.It turned out to be a good choice. The camera is sharp, and the form factor makes it easy to get into cramped spaces. Not to mention it’s light: at half the weight of my iPad Pro, I almost tossed it in the air the first time I used it.What came as a surprise is how much I turn to it for other needs. It’s nice to use sitting on the couch and having VoiceOver read news stories to me, or to have text conversations with friends, etc. Because it has a decent A15 SoC, it doesn’t lag when doing VoiceOver. Plus, the battery life is amazing.It’s a decent tool, and I expect I’ll be using it for many years.

My bigger iPad Air recently just broke so I was debating between getting another or getting the iPad mini. I am SO happy that I chose the Mini. I love that it is light enough to carry around wherever I go, but still has a bigger screen than my phone so I can do work/school on it. I have also been reading on it a LOT and think that it is the perfect tablet for reading. It is about the size of a kindle, but the iPad has better quality and downloading capabilities – I actually returned my Kindle after I started reading on this iPad mini.I would 10/10 recommend for someone who loves to read, but still loves to have all the capabilities of an iPad.

This is my third iPad. My first was an iPad Pro from 2017, second was my iPad Air 5th generation, and then this little guy. My boyfriend received my 2017 iPad from me (it still works well), and I love my iPad Air, but it’s a hassle to take it anywhere unless I have an enormous purse, or my work backpack.Hence, I bought this iPad mini during prime day (awesome deal!)I got the starlight color and 256 gb Wi-Fi only model. I decided to pay the extra $$$ to get the larger memory so that I can have the freedom to download movies and tv shows for when I don’t have Wi-Fi. Also, 64 gb is hardly enough storage nowadays, at least in my opinion.I use my iPad for reading, streaming movies/tv shows, as a planner, as a coloring book and sketchbook, and surfing the internet. I also purchased an Apple Pencil, second generation, and I purchased a Paperlike screen protector— it helps me write easier and smoother on it.I love this thing!!! It’s perfect to take literally anywhere and fits in most of my purses. I will say, battery life is subpar, especially when compared with my older iPad Pro. The 2021 iPad mini and 2022 iPad Air that I own don’t have the best battery life, but at least they charge up quickly with the included usb-c charger. I guess the newer models don’t hold a charge as long, but when I travel I bring an Anker portable battery with me, just in case.Yes… jelly scrolling is real, but not a deal breaker for me. You see it, but I don’t find it distracting at all. It only happens in portrait mode when you’re scrolling quickly, and because it’s an issue I expected, I’m not going to fuss over or complain about it.I’m planning on purchasing apple care. If you get an Apple device, there’s no reason not to get it, in my opinion. Apple will replace the iPad under warranty if something is wrong with it (not including accidents) for up to a year after original purchase, but if you don’t have Apple care and something happens after that, you’re stuck with a hefty bill. So… spend the extra coin and get apple care.This isn’t as heavy as my iPad Air, I can easily hold it in one hand, which makes it perfect for reading and watching shows. I believe it weighs about .5 lbs less than the Air or something like that.I don’t notice much of a difference between this iPad mini and my iPad Air with the M1 chip in it as far as processing power goes. It’s still fast and powerful, and can tackle anything I throw at it with ease.Delivery was okay. Amazon sent me a code to give to the Amazon driver on the day of delivery (the day after I ordered it). The driver dropped the iPad case I’d ordered on my doorstep, then left. I had to chase him down to give him the code and get my package. So a bit aggravating, but it ended up working out fine.I would definitely recommend this iPad mini to anyone who is looking for something larger than a phone, but smaller than an original sized iPad or laptop. It’s super portable. Sure, a little small for setting up two windows side by side, but I don’t do that often. Wait for a sale and purchase it! It’ll be well worth it.

I’m not an Apple girl. Always been an Android/PC girl, so this was my first Apple purchase and I absolutely love it. As soon as I can get the money together I’m buying a second iPad for my daughter as a gift. So many things I love about this product: it’s sleek look, it’s light-weight, which makes it so easy to hold while I read, and it’s size. I really love the mini-size of this iPad. I can take it with me wherever I go. I also love how fast it is — the internet, moving from one app to the next, etc. This is a really great iPad and I am so glad I purchased it.

I upgraded my iPad and I’m so glad that I did. I bought a mini in 2010. I think I’m not even sure when and nothing’s wrong with it. It just is old and like with all things Apple they stop pushing updates too older devices so that you have to buy new ones, that’s fine. I got a lot of good use out of that iPad but for a couple of years now I wanted to upgrade. With Amazon prime day the deal on a new mini was better than the discount that I get for being an educator. During the summer, I travel a lot and write for a travel blog that I run And I have recently started my own YouTube channel. I wanted something small that I could take with me and write my blogs and do social media on and I have an iPhone and that’s great. There was a piece missing. The iPad that I had before didn’t have iMovie on it and so I couldn’t make the YouTube videos that I wanted without bringing my laptop and a camera and then having my phone there was just a lot to put together , so I upgraded and I bought this picture. I also did a review for. And basically made a travel blogging laptop that I can take with me and shove in a suitcase or a tote bag and I don’t need to bring all of the things that I was bringing with me that were super cumbersome. I should’ve upgraded my iPad sooner .

So I was on the fence about buying a mini iPad or a kindle, decided the iPad would be better especially because a kindle is not cheap. I was nervous about the quality of reading in the sun, but it was fine! Now I can use it for my favorite books, and as a teacher it makes it easy to have my notes when lecturing. Absolutely worth the money.

This iPad mini 6th gen was new and almost $100 off the full retail price. I like the small size which makes it so portable and the expanded memory which gives me room to download a movie or two for travel.
