Best iPad I’ve owned
April 6, 2019
This is so far the best and most advanced iPad that I have ever owned. As a brief history I have owned the iPad mini 3 and the iPad 5th generation. The new A12 chip makes this iPad so fast and fluid and is honestly more power than I will ever need in my day to day use of this product. I love that this iPad has a fully laminated display it makes reading on it so much better and of course it eliminates that annoying air gap that is on the budget iPad 5th and 6th gen. Another of the great features of this iPad is the True Tone display that adjusts the display to the lighting conditions of the room your in. This makes it much easier on your eyes when your using the iPad and it’s effects are in my opinion most notable when reading. The battery life on this iPad is excellent and the A12 chip is to thank for that since it’s very efficient, with how much I use it I can go for days on a single charge though of course your mileage will vary based on use and other settings. The mini definitely falls into an odd market as it has the same specs as the new iPad Air just in a much smaller form factor, so I’d definitely recommend the mini if you’ve got an older iPad and want to upgrade without breaking the bank and don’t mind the smaller form factor or even prefer your iPads in a more portable form. Also if your looking to buy an iPad for the first time and you want one that isn’t exactly a budget model but at the same time you don’t want to spend the kind of money it takes to get a pro model then the mini 5 might just be for you. I’m in the camp of people that prefer this smaller form as it’s easier to port around and if you read books on it it’s not going to tire your arm out like the larger models. The mini definitely has a viable market even in 2019 and I believe is worth a look if your curious about how an iPad of this size compares to the much larger versions that Apple sells.

Was surprised when I started to login to see two other Apple ids attached to this iPad. Unable to remove the ids I now get constant reminders for them to login. Very disappointed.

I purchased this iPad to upgrade our existing iPad. The day I received it, I turned it on to set it up & there was a pixel bad in the screen. It was a nightmare getting Amazon to accept the return instead of putting me in touch with Apple. After 47 minutes on the phone (with 2 people I could barely understand), they sent a return label. I will just go to my local Best Buy.

So I upgraded from a iPad Pro 2016, well you see I thought my iPad was having this black screen problem and I was finding my 9.7 pro to be to heavy to hold! Well you know that did not change with my new iPad mini but the size and the wight are a welcomed change. And I do believe the black screen has to do with our net! But on to the good stuff about the mini love the size the power the speed and the chip and the Bluetooth 5.0 and lets not forget the laminated screen big plus! Sounds nice to, also I’m glad to have a mini back a nicely upgraded one one the inside of course, but the out side is normal apple so that’s fine! The price for this thing was not bad either I’m glad apple did not want a arm and a leg for it! Worked real good with my boses qvc 2s sound nice! Good and response with the apple pencle to without a screen protector. I also brought a 30 apple block charger, if you have the money go for it charges faster and I can use it while I charge! It still goes up, but you have to have a c to lighting cord for that! Well worth the like 47 dollars extra and I got it at Walmart for the box and the cord on amizion! It was a original cord though. SO the only thing its lacking is the 4 speaker audio! That’s all that’s not there that the iPad Pro 2016 has over it! But that fine I still use my old one for netflick watching! And its still a not bad iPad for 2019! Well that’s all she wrote have a nice day all!

Got this to replace an earlier generation one that started overheating and acting erratically. I cannot tell one iota of difference between this one and the much older model, except this one doesn’t overheat (yet). I just love this size for fitting in my purse and being lightweight. But seeing the lack of improvement between models will most likely make this the last ipad I’ll buy.

I have owned three of four Kindle Fires over the years and I have really never had any complaints. Well, things went wrong like being knocked offline all the time and having to reboot a few times a day but I thought that was the best I could expect. Tryin to print anything was hit or miss, mostly miss. I bought the IPad Mini with a lot of hesitation mainly because I have so many Fires that still work and the cost is so much more than a Fire. Well, I am so impressed with my new iPad. It does everything and it does it well.

The battery life is definitely ten hours as described in description. I get maybe three or four while using it. It is less than my iPad mini 4. I am disappointed because I would of just gotten the iPad mini 4 again for less money.

This was the smallest, fastest model in the iPad mini range. As expected, it feels fast and easy to use! The iPad mini cover from the original iPad mini does not fit it so we had to order a new cover. We tested all the features that we wanted to use. Mostly, it works very well. Indoor night-time photos and movies were darker and noisier than those taken at the same time and place with my iPhone X.

Very expensive. Apple could lower their prices. I have a fire which I really like but my phone is from apple so that’s why I bought this. I think Amazons Fire is superior to my mini iPad. Apple definitely has a monopoly

I bought this on a whim to treat myself for my b-day despite having a full sized iPad. I didnt know if I would get use out of both but I do. I LOVE the smaller size for most tasks.

What I like the most about my mini 5 is of course the size and portability of it plus it extremely fast. I use it mostly for reading comics, playing music through my sound system since it still has its hand phone jack which I love and light shopping on the web. It’s just for light work.
