For me, buying a tablet is a big deal. A did a lot of research before deciding on this model (mini 2).
So the big question is am I happy with my purchase? It's only been a few days, but so far I am thrilled. After more that a year of using my Android phone for web activity the Ipad is a dream come true. The size, clarity and speed are the highpoints for me (so far).
I did spring for the 32 gb and I think that was the right decision. What I'm discovering now is all of the amazing apps that exisit that were never an option with my phone. Who knew?!?

The only not great choice I made was the case/keyboard that I bought. The product is great, but I think I overestimated my need for a keyboard. The case I have is heavy, and it's hard to use the camera - which I use a lot. I think I'm going to get the one I saw with the removable keyboard. Then I won't have to hold the extra weight. Other than that, I am a happy camper!

Is it wrong that I haven't talked to my family since it arrived? No, I don't think so either!

Been using it for almost a month now and feels like a dream.

I have to be honest i liked android but when you get to actually use iOS on your every day life you find out that its so much better.

I've found that iOS 7 tends to manage RAM memory for efficently than android which you can tell when you have lots of apps that consume quite a lot memory (I am talking about you facebook) running at the same time which with android i had to use a root app called greenify which basically does what iOS does natively which is completely close the app (of course the apps can wake up) instead of having it run in the background consuming battery and RAM for extended periods of time ( i am not talking about multitasking by the way)

This will sound a little fanboy but: It just works!

The interface its beautiful, elegant and simple and of course to be able to uses gestures to close, change apps, play music etc etc its a huge plus for me

Also its just the sweat spot between all iOS devices since you can use it to read but you can also use it to play games or use other apps like facebook or watching a movie on netflix without having a huge device on your hands or a small one which i personally feel like everything is all clustered up.

The only thing that i find a little annoying is that some apps (5-6 apps total that i use) that are not iPad optimized and look horrible (I'm looking at you instagram and snapchat) most of the times on the big screen (specially due to the pixel density that a Retina Display presents)

I have owned every edition of iPad. Each one has had 64GB storage plus Wi-Fi. Each "old" iPad has been passed down to lawyers in my office where it has been an essential tool in our practice. In our office all of our computers, save one for very specific software reasons, are Macs. One of my associates has even bought his own Apple MacBook Pro MD101LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (NEWEST VERSION). Our phones are Apple iPhone 4S 64GB (White) - AT&T and my own Apple iPhone 4S 64GB (Black) - AT&T

The effect of all of these iPads and OSX computers has been to take full advantage of iCloud and numerous critical apps such as Square, RocketMatter, Lexis Advantage, WD2Go, Dropbox, TrialPad and Sign My Pad. Our Mac office is essentially a model for Apple products as high end business tools in the legal profession.

For the past several months I been constantly asked if I was ever going to acquire an iPad Mini. Until this past week, when I began to reconsider, my answer was emphatic-NO!

A smaller iPad was not likely ever to serve as an everyday tool, one that could replace a laptop in many (but not all) situations. I have been critical of WiFi only iPads believing that by maintaining access to the Internet is critical when traveling, in WiFi free courthouses and opponents' law offices. I have also insisted on 64GB iPads believing that storage should never be an issue, particularly as we move into an era where FaceTime promises to reinvent video testimony.

So what am I doing buying the lowest end iPad Apple sells? The answer is that not all users are created equal. Our office manager is uniquely involved in all aspects of the practice. She monitors my emails (and I might add she is my wife so this isn't as dangerous as it sounds), reviews accounting issues including billing and time keeping. At times she has simply taken my Apple iPad MD371LL/A (64GB, Wi-Fi + AT&T 4G, White) 3rd Generation when I get home for these uses instead of sitting with her Apple iMac MD093LL/A 21.5-Inch Desktop (NEWEST VERSION) that is our home computer.

The reality is she is primarily monitoring the life of our firm, not creating pleadings and doing trial prep. When this occurred to me, I realized that the smallest iPad mini was the best way to provide her with the same 24/7 access to the file server at the office (using WD2Go) that we all enjoy and need. On the other hand, she is unlikely to need a 4G LTE connection since most of her work is done either in the office or at home. That said, as I considered this, her Apple iPhone 4S 32GB (White) - AT&T is a personal hotspot, a capacity which is useful for those moments Internet access is necessary but unavailable on with tablets or laptops. 16GBs is in fact a massive amount of storage for most purposes and users.

The iPad mini is light and while offering less "display real estate" is as fully functional as its big brothers. I loaded it from my App Store account with the essential apps for her needs. If you are wondering about cost, the additional cost is zero at least for the number of iOS devices-four-now on my App Store account. For those who would consider buying a cheaper non-iOS tablet, the costs of apps can be significantly more than the price differential between the iPad mini and smaller Droid tablets.

While the iPad mini does not offer Retina Display like my new iPad, none of the older iPads my associates use do either. The look, feel and functionality of this tablet is pure iPad.

Simply put under the right circumstances the iPad mini is a reasonable and economical choice for a Mac heavy law practice.

First off, the OS uses up a big chunk of the memory right off the bat. If you load a few apps, a few songs, a few photos, you will find you have almost none. They tell you that's fine, because things are stored in the Cloud, but if you're offline...
Most importantly, however, you should know that this device is the least user-friendly thing I've ever encountered, and I've worked with a variety of computers for more than 30 years. It's 'mindset' is so unlike a computer that everything seems counterintuitive. I found the coordination between my iMac and the iPad to be very cumbersome. You have to have updated your computer to Yosemite and your iTunes to version 12. My iMac is less than 3 years old, but if yours is pre-2012, you will not be able to use Hand-off or Airdrop, 2 of their touted means of sharing. If you don't read the manual, you're lost; luckily, you can download it (using up more memory). For the past three months I've been on the phone to tech support more times than I can count; sometimes the person knows the answers, sometimes not, and occasionally they'll just tell you something that's just not true.
Yes, it's small, and yes, many things work well. I bought it to travel, though, and the maps program is a joke, and so far I haven't found another that works well enough to use if you don't have an expensive cellular plan. If I'd known, I'd have bought the 32GB or better yet a small laptop.

This is my first ipad, though I am a Mac user for several years and very familiar with Apple products. I purchased a refurbished unit directly from Apple and couldn't be happier. I purchased the Mini 2 over the original because it has a faster processor and retina screen. Its a better deal for your dollar. I also researched the pros and cons of the regular ipad vs the mini and found "most" people preferred the mini because it is a comfortable size for travel and everyday use. The mini has met all my needs and exceeded my expectations. It slips easily in a purse and the size is perfect for reading books with one hand. IOS has a short learning curve and it took me a good weekend to figure out how to swipe, type, access/close programs, and use the ipad to its full potential. I don't own a smartphone (too much $ per month) or a laptop (expensive and bulky) and with hotspots becoming more readily available, the mini w/ wifi has given me the best of both worlds and costs a lot less in the long run.

Its important to note that this IS an iPad Mini 2 but the package arrived and it said iPad Mini with Retina Display on the box. It came in the original box in new condition. When Apple started selling these in late 2013, it was called the iPad Mini with Retina. Only later was it renamed the Mini 2. So its the same thing, same processor, same memory, same everything - it just didn't say iPad Mini 2 on the box. No problem. Although it came with some old version 7.x iOS, it quickly updated to the latest 8.1.3. Don't send it back because it doesn't say Mini 2 on the box!!!
This replaced an older Galaxy Tab 7 that I couldn't update to the latest Android and was very unstable. The extra inch of display, the beautiful screen and the stability of iOS and the Apps means I will NEVER, EVER purchase another Android. Sure it was a little more than a new Android but the quality and stability is far superior.

Oh my gosh... I love my new iPad mini! Got accustomed to my wife's regular sized version and when I realized how practical one of these devices is, decided to get my own but in a more comfortable size for me. Since the mini version came out I've been eyeing it for a while but held back due the high price tag on Apple products. Yet I loved the apple interface and quality so much I didn't want to settle for cheaper options. When I was ready, finally got it and I must say, wow! It is the perfect size and looks so good! Got a Khomo case and Tech Armor screen protector for it and they were the perfect accessories. My wife's iPad is retina display but I must say that while the diff can be noticed, it is only upon closer inspection and it really does not make a big difference. I read small text on this thing with ease. It is still a very sharp display and pictures and text alike appear vibrant and crisp on it. In a nutshell, for someone who has only been exposed to retina display from the get go with experiencing iPad, I don't miss it, makes no big difference to me. The mini is so great and professional looking too. Anyone respects Apple and it has a certain level of prestige about it, not that I'm looking for the attention, but it does gain a respect over the other competitor brands. I love Apple and now I am the proud owner of my very first Apple product which is class beyond class!

this ipad is truly beautiful for myself i am enjoying every moment of using my ipad mini it has a decent camera running iOS 7 currently downloading ios 8 and i have 4g lte built into my iPad mini from tmobile because i bought it at tmobile today and it works just like an iphone and a larger ipad but with medium screen and the best my iPad mini is apple brand and enjoying cellular data my iPad mini is black and slate retina display 16 gb wifi cellular

I will review the pros and cons of getting a cellular iPad model
Pros:
1. It works everywhere in your country and where there is no wifi available
2: most wifi networks detected are password secured so cellular is the way to go
3. Great for traveling around the country and other places
4. Gives you more online flexibility.

Cons:
1. Monthly data fee depending on how much you use(but it might be worth it though)
2. More expensive than wifi only models
3. If you buy directly from a carrier store it might be locked to that carrier and unlocking can be a difficult process, so when you want to travel depends if you have roaming available and how much roaming will cost you.( roaming tends to be expensive depending on the carrier)

All in all a wifi only iPad might be a safer option if you feel you don't need a cellular data plan.

Went into buying this iPad mini for myself knowing that the item was used(it cost me $181 after tax). To my surprise when I recieved my iPad it seemed as it was I mint condition. It works fine and does everything I need it to do and more. I see a lot of folks complaining they didn't know they were getting a used iPad. For one look at the price. I saw a new mini in Best Buy just the other day for $425. Plus, this is the original iPad mini, they are up to iPad mini 3 now. Personally I wanted this version because I am a digital artist and wanted something that was more portable than my Cintiq. I read the newer minis and the iPad air were not really compatible with the Wacom Intous Creative Stylus 2 but they seem to work well on the older models. So what I need it for it was perfect. Yes it is a great tablet, but if you are looking for something brand new don't buy this but if buying used and wanting to save some of your money this is the tablet to get, at least it was for me.

I own an iPad Air as well as an Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 and I really enjoy both of them. So I decided to purchase the iPad Mini with Retina because I want something that I can place inside of my purse and take with me when i'm out or in the car. I didn't really care for taking the iPad Air and Kindle Fire HDX with me because I prefer to leave them at home because I feel that they're safer there. Let me tell you....I really like this thing! The portability is excellent and sometimes when i'm laying in bed instead of grabbing the iPad Air/Kindle Fire HDX which are both laying right next to me I grab the iPad Mini 2. I'm sitting here looking at the iPad mini with Retina and iPad Air side by side and they are identically the same except one is bigger and one is a little smaller. It's just a matter of what's right for you. I would highly recommend purchasing the iPad mini with Retina display! Plus I have no problem with grabbing it and placing it inside of my purse when I leave the house along with my Kindle Voyage E-Reader which is a must.

I didn't get my iPad mini from Amazon I got mine from Best Buy, I use my iPad mini to write essays and to do my homework online. I'm currently using it right now to write this review. I really like my iPad mini because it has Siri and all the new updates with the iPhone c an iPhone s. If you have an iPhone 4 or 4s, the chargers are different then the 5. If you have your updated iPhone to iOS 7 you can if you don't have it connected to your phone plan you can turn on your hotspot and it has a password and it's just like using data on your phone. Beware that you are using data so you don't want to be on your iPad mini too much but when you using your hotspot it's just like having Wi-Fi and you put in your password for your hotspot and you can basically be on your iPad mini anywhere and have Internet and be able to look at emails and whatever else you want to do. On the iPhone that Apple Pages cost money but on your iPad mini it won't cost anything. I recommend it for someone who doesn't want a full-size tablet or iPad and wanted something just you can put in your purse or backpack really easily. I also recommend it for anyone who may be doing schoolwork you can get cheaper words and it could be just like a little computer or laptop. Also when I say like a computer or laptop it won't have all the functions as a computer or laptop I don't want to get anyone confused. Things that you can do on your laptop you won't be able to do on your iPad mini but having the keyboard makes it easier to type things if you are typing anything such as emails. Only thing I really don't like about Apple products are the brightness I don't know if I'm only person who feels like their products are too bright at night. When reading the book on your iPad or iPhone it's really annoying to have such a bright screen and I have to invert the colors because the brightness is to bright at night and not bright enough in the day. No this is only me I have heard other people say same thing but if you don't mind brightness and little things like that the iPad mini is really a great product.

Let me sing the many ways I love this wonderful mini. It is the perfect size. I've had two large iPads. Never again. This is just right for playing games, surfing the web, reading my books, and even typing my fiction if I don't happen to be carrying my laptop around. I paired mine with the Anker keyboard cover and am quite happy with the combination, though I can tell that I'll be saving up for the sturdy Zagg case and cover that retails for about $140. Anker is going for about $25 right now, so I opted for that. It's not at all a bad option for the budget-conscious. Just wish it was backlit and am lamenting some weird key functions that require me to relearn how to touch type. What I love, love, love about this is that Pages has all the features I need, and it's so easy to name and save the files and email them to myself, so I can update my chapters. Very happy. The retina screen is luscious.

Still unsure which iPad to buy? This might help.

The iPad mini is probably the best small tablet computer on the market today - it’s certainly the most popular. It’s the top selling tablet computer on Amazon, and still an incredible device. This is a review of the iPad Mini 3 released October 2014, but is it worth the money?

About this review
-----------------------
OK. First a disclosure. I love the iPad range, and this review aims to explain why. There’s lots to say, so I’ve broken it up into sections to make it manageable, (just skip the bits you don’t need). Hopefully it will answer your questions, and by the end you’ll have decided if it’s worth the money, and perhaps which model you should buy.

What’s new about the iPad Mini 3?
----------------------------------------------
Sad to say, not a lot. Same beautiful design, incredibly fast A7 processor and 1GB of memory as the previous model - the “iPad Mini 2” (confusingly also known as “iPad Mini with Retina Display”).

It still has the amazing 326 pixels per inch (ppi) retina (2048

So many glowing reviews on this, so I'm just going to stick on the negatives.
- I've felt that this was the model that should have came out when Apple first released the 1st gen mini. Retina has been the standard for a while on Apple products, and felt that Apple were letting down its customers with the low-res display. But that's the cost of being an Apple customer, they give you just enough for you to want it but not need it, until the next model comes out.
- Retina Display looks absolutely gorgeous, the high amount of ppi, 320 or so, is definitely evident in pictures and sharp text. What they say about the colors not being as vibrant as the iPad air and the 4th gen iPad is unfortunately true. Colors do look a tad washed out, and it's especially noticeable on the reds such as on the Youtube app. Not really issue for me, didn't really notice it myself until detailed reports came out on it. It will be an issue for anyone depending on color accuracy, but that portion of the market is probably getting the Air for the bigger screen size anyway.
- Webpages can be a bit of a hassle to navigate. Coming from a full size iPad I've found that I have to zoom in and scroll side to side much more often. This is the price of portability and having a small screen, not a big deal for me, perhaps for you.
- Missing Touch ID. Maybe not a necessity as much as a phone, since most tablets are kept in the security of your home, but it would have been nice to have that feature nonetheless.
- No option to create and switch users? I understand the need to sync through iTunes/iCloud , but I think it's time for Apple to allowing its customers to create guest accounts. Not needed in an iPhone because it's personal, tablets on the other hand are usually shared between families within a household. It would be nice to be able to keep designated accounts for your child especially.

Conclusion. I think that this is the ideal tablet for the casual tablet user. True there are other small tablets out there that are less expensive and better spec-wise, but the iTunes App store is the best store for tablet-oriented apps on the market. I've yet to purchase an actual paid app, but have found tremendous value in the free ones for my interests and needs. Don't let the color gamut issue dissuade you from purchasing one, you won't be disappointed.

I purchased the 32gb LTE version and I am VERY satisfied with my purchase. I have the iPad 4, but wanted something smaller that was a bit more portable for traveling. I am so glad I made this purchase as it met my needs with overwhelming excitement. First, the size makes it feel easier to use for day-to-day activities such as web surfing and checking email. While I can do this with the iPad 4, the mini makes the user experience greater as there is less to tote around and is much much lighter than the iPad 4. After holding the iPad 4 for 30 minutes, it begins to feel like a brick. Holding the mini for 30 minutes doesn't even begin to tire out each of your arms from holding it for almost any period of time.

Regarding the screen, it shows beautiful vibrant colors compared to the latest-gen iPad's. Owning both and comparing them side-by-side, I cannot tell the difference in quality while watching the same content on each of the units simultaneously. While I'm sure "retina display" is better in one way or another, it's hard to discern with the human eye as to the visual difference between the two. It's like comparing a 720p and a 1080p TV at 10 feet away - both look the same in regards to picture quality because the human eye cannot see the difference. For those that can "see" a difference, you must be holding the unit extremely close to your face (closer than just reading distance) or the "retina display is better" claim has tricked your mind into thinking you're seeing something that's simply not there. All of my family, including my young children, cannot tell the difference when watching movies or reading text. Even the content on my iPhone 5 seems a bit fuzzy, however when I pinch and zoom, it all goes away. The same is true of my iPad 4 which relates to the iPad mini. Don't let anyone fool you, the picture is gorgeous.

As far as the LTE is concerned, it's lightning fast, however it will depend on your area. I can connect at 32mbps down and 9.5 mbps up in my area which is faster than my home broadband connection. I have no trouble hooking up to LTE and I always have a constant signal around my city. In addition, I have zero problems connecting to any wifi source. Here's the link to my screen capture from Speed Test: [...]

I have a an iPad 2, iPad 4, iPhone 5's and the iPad mini. Across all platforms, the performance is fantastic albeit the performance on the iPad 2 is much slower in comparison to the mini, even though it has the same processor. My test is Sky Gamblers which plays a bit choppy on my iPad 2, but plays exactly the same as on my iPad 4 with an A6X processor.

I added an Otterbox case and it nearly doubled the size of the unit. But WAIT!!!! This is a GOOD thing. It makes the iPad feel extremely comfortable in your hand and you will not lose grip as you may with the unit by itself since it's so thin and sleek. I have Otterbox Defender cases on all of my products mentioned above and swear by them. They are the best investment I've made in regards to accessories.

In conclusion, this is one helluva product and I'm glad I purchased it. Do NOT be discouraged by the "retina display" hoopla that makes it seems as this is an inferior iPad. It's not in any way, shape or form. Using an iPad 4 to compare performance, the iPad mini mimics the exact performance that the iPad does, for the exception of programs opening about a half-second slower. I can definitely live with that. Hope this review helps.

Ужасно

The Apple operating system, although highly praised my by many can be maddening for a person, who knows a thing, or two about computers. Very awkward and counter intuitive. If you add the iTunes to the equation, the whole experience becomes nearly nightmarish.

Just like with a Mac Book Pro (which got returned), the iPad Mini took over 30 minutes to connect to my house WiFi, despite careful and accurate entering of the password.

Establishing an account in iTunes took even longer than that, with endless entering and reentering of the user name and password and countless "confirmation" emails from Apple.

In addition, the iPad Mini is too wide for comfortable holding in the horizontal position. The industry standard 16x9 proportions would have been a much better choice.

Nearly two other, better tablets can be gotten for the price of one iPad and frankly I can only question my sanity for even trying another Apple product.

One redeeming feature is that it got returned the next day.

I bought this NEW IPad Mini and had it shipped in two days and it arrived on time. After reading a previous review about receiving a used IPad Mini instead of a NEW one, I made sure to check it out completely by taking it out of the packing before giving it as a present. I definitely think I got a refurbished IPad Mini and here are my thoughts on why:

I watched a YouTube video on unboxing a new IPad Mini to see how an IPad Mini came packaged. At first I noticed the box had a few dents but thought this was due to shipping. Also the serial number on the back and all the bar codes seemed to be rubbed off and not easily visible to read (I still have my Ipad box after 2 years and the bar codes never smudged). Next I noticed a lot of particles on the surface of the screen which is odd and the back of the IPad looked a little worn (not so silvery in a few spots). When watching the YouTube video, I saw that there should be three papers included in the box, a card with all the buttons, an apple sticker, and some other information. My box had no apple sticker and only one card.

I turned the IPad one and it worked and was fully charged (Ipad’s and Iphone’s usually never come fully charged). When I eventually gave it as the gift I set it up for my mom and it was not linked to anyone’s account and turned on like new.
To double check I searched the serial number on Apple’s website and the Ipad Mini only had about 3 days left of phone support when it should have either 60 or 90 days (I forget the exact amount).

I decided to keep the Ipad Mini and give it as a gift anyway as I don’t think it would have been worth contacting the vendor and filing a claim however I am disappointed that it most likely was not a new Ipad Mini. Also Apple does not sell these models in stores anymore as the Ipad Mini Retina is now available.

My review is mostly to inform you to buy this product directly from Best Buy or any other electronic store if you can or order a used IPad instead of a new one.

EASY VIDEO PHONE I bought this for my 70 year old mother for FaceTime, Apple's proprietary video phone application. I know there are other solutions out there, but nothing else is this simple. It is foolproof. It is bulletproof. It just plain works.

She can't even handle a cell phone, not a smartphone mind you, but she makes and takes calls on her IPad using FaceTime. While it is true that an account had to be setup with Apple and an email account established, that took me all of 10 minutes. I then called her landline and stepped her husband through the last couple of steps when he turned the iPad on for the first time. After that, it rings like a phone when someone wants to reach her. Callers' contact information shows up in her "Recents" and she simply taps them on that list to call them any time after that first received call.

It gives me tremendous peace of mind to see her regularly.

This device is overrated. I paid about $750 after the add ons, without an extended warranty. It is fun to have. I enjoy the idea of watching a really good quality video on the go. I'm going to enjoy loading my pictures on it but there'll be no privacy for the family in the photos. The apps have been disappointing so far. Often a "free" app is actually advertisement for that app, after you've given up your personal documentation. So you've been HAD. But apps are very reasonably priced.
Do not expect privacy, and not to be tracked to death. Despite disabling the "third parties", deleting and disabling histories, disenabling the location, and using privacy browsers -- it ain't happening. Google, mainly, picks up all the demographics from your device, and the wifi around you. So there's the ads for the local Festival and local weather when you've gone through Pains to disable location markers. About the only thing that works well is blocking all that disgusting porn.
One has the impression that if one subscribes to the Washington Post, then thereafter every newspaper site you visit will give you that darkened screen and disable your device until you subscribe to their media (or turn it off and re-boot). That's generally what happens.
And YOU, you SIMPLETON, paid a grand for the privilege. Google and Twitter repeatedly bounces you off your page and deletes your entry or doesn't show your results, trying to force you to search within the APP version of Google and Twitter over there at the Apple Store that has your personal details and credit card stuff that you had to give the iStores.
Another example. A relative has been sending me photos from his iPhone for a long time. Viewing them on the iPad mini? Not possible. The pad -- you can't control it -- bounces you over to a Total Video app with the question Extract this image? Say No, you can't see it. (It's already taken anyway.) Then you'll see a crowded batch of related Google imagery, no sign of your photo, and you will never, ever see the image that was sent you on your new iPad Mini. About the only thing you can do is delete the "free" App. You don't really have control over the device; it controls you.

Ужасно

The full size iPad Air 2 has a 100% color gamut and anti reflective coating, the mini has the same resolution but it has only 62% color gamut and it doesn't have either the anti reflective coating or the bonded cover glass of the iPad Air 2. So in addition to washed out, under saturated and distorted colors (red tomatoes, fire trucks, and Coke cans look a bit orange rather than deep red, for example) it continues with a moderately high screen Reflectance of 6.5 percent, much higher than other tablets, which further washes out its image colors in ambient light.
See yourself the accurate review of the display on the displaymate web site (amazon doesn't allow the full address with the dot)

The product itself is fantastic and my stars are based on the product being a great deal and a great device.

But for anyone thinking of buying from Amazon, be warned. I purchased one of these for someone on her birthday and it was listed as new. Amazon seems to only sell iPad minis from third party sellers, not from Amazon.com itself, meaning another company gets the iPads from any source they want, sends them to Amazon, and Amazon ships them. One of these sellers listed an iPad mini slightly above retail price, but cheaper than all of the other iPad minis on Amazon. In fact, when I searched for iPad mini, it was the seller and product page the site automatically directed me to. The page indicated it as new, and sold it to me via Amazon. When my friend got her iPad mini, it looked new, was packaged and sealed like new, but when she turned it on, it was tied to someone else's icloud account. I called apple and gave them the serial number. Sure enough, the item was used, only had about 60 days left in the warranty (instead of 90) and was registered through Apple to a different customer. If I wanted a used iPad Mini, I would have paid less. Much less.

I even emailed the user who had previously owned it (since her email address via iCloud was showing up when my friend tried to access the app store. I emailed the previous user just to make sure it wasn't a stolen product. She explained that she had purchased it a few weeks back from At&T, not from Amazon. She wanted a wifi + 3g version, not just wifi, so she returned it and somehow, the third party seller got their hands on it and sold it to me as new.

In the defense of of the third party seller, once I got their phone number from Amazon and called them (most seller numbers are not on Amazon, you have to call and request a phone number), they provided a scary explanation: They explained that there are problems with Amazon's FBA system (fulfillment). Sometimes, iPads are returned with nothing but index cards in the box and Amazon thinks there is an iPad inside. Sometimes, products mingle, and so another seller's used iPads might be with a different seller's new iPads. They explained that they have a very legitimate source of iPads and have been selling iPads for years and that this is a rare occurrence, although it has happened before. I have no way of verifying any of this, so I can't blame Amazon or the seller. All I can say is that for such a large purchase, and one that is a gift, you are better off buying from a major retail store that doesn't sell used items at all (or buying from Amazon when it is shipped and sold and fulfilled by Amazon). Right now, this product is actually on sale at Walmart.

Amazon refunded me but now my friend has to return her birthday gift. I recommend buying from someone other than Amazon. For this particular product, it's probably the cheaper route to do that anyway. If you do buy from Amazon, call Apple with your Serial Number and verify it is a new, unregistered product with a full 90 day warranty. Don't get scammed.

Великолепно

The iPad mini is probably the best small tablet computer on the market today - it’s certainly the most popular. It’s the top selling tablet computer on Amazon, and still an incredible device. This is a review of the iPad Mini 3 released October 2014, but is it worth the money?

About this review
-----------------------
OK. First a disclosure. I love the iPad range, and this review aims to explain why. There’s lots to say, so I’ve broken it up into sections to make it manageable, (just skip the bits you don’t need). Hopefully it will answer your questions, and by the end you’ll have decided if it’s worth the money, and perhaps which model you should buy.

What’s new about the iPad Mini 3?
----------------------------------------------
Sad to say, not a lot. Same beautiful design, incredibly fast A7 processor and 1GB of memory as the previous model - the “iPad Mini 2” (confusingly also known as “iPad Mini with Retina Display”).

It still has the amazing 326 pixels per inch (ppi) retina (2048
