I bought an iPad mini wifi only from Amazon last April. I love it other than I decided I would prefer to have cellular data. So I ordered another, got it this afternoon. Brand new sealed in box. I rush to verizon for assistance on setting it up. All seems well. This evening I start setting it up with apps and discover that this appears to be the 1st generation. It only has 2 windows, this other one has 4. The format is all different. I feel that I was way over charged for such an old version and it certainly should have been disclosed. I would for sure return it if I could. Very unsatisfied

Never wanted one but since I got it as a gift for Christmas from my husband, I love it, I use it in the kitchen for recipes, do emails while watching T.V., use it as my reader. It immediately transferred all my books from my Nook. I can also get Kindle an iTunes on it. I'm still getting used to Apple, I am used Windows 8.1 and android systems, so I'm still learning. But I think my next phone will be an iPhone since it will work so smoothly with the iPad. As for size, it is perfect. I can slip it into mty purse easily. I really like it and keep finding more uses for it daily...

This is my third iPad, sold the original model, gave the next one to my daughter who needed it for college. Went iPad-less for a while but I like having something to browse the bed while in bed and my MacBook Air is awkward to handle single handed. Thought I'd try the iPad Mini and it works as expected, but while it's a handy size as a book reader I prefer the full size iPad for web surfing.

I used to have a fairly negative opinion about the mini. I saw it as inferior to the 10" iPad. Why spend the money on lower end hardware?
Once I got to spend some time with it in person, I changed my mind.
The iPad may not have the latest A6 processor, or a retina display, but it offers two very appealing things. 1. Lower price point, 2. An appealing form factor.
The latter being the most significant. I've owned 10" iPads in the past, but I always lost interest after the first month and sold them. For me, they were a bit too big and heavy, and it discouraged me from taking it with me when I left the house. It is by no means unwieldily, but I used it for movies and gaming, and holding it up for hours at a time wasn't that comfortable, and I hate using stands.
The smaller size and lighter weight of the iPad mini makes a HUGE difference. The new form factor makes it more portable, which is when the device really shines, and it makes it more inviting to use, and that makes all the difference. For example, I can comfortably hold the mini in one hand and watch a youtube video, while sipping a drink in the other hand. Or I will be lying on my back, on my couch, and can comfortably hold the mini in front of my face while I watch Netflix, and can do so for extended periods of time. And now I can easily hold it with one hand in portrait position, for my apps that are viewed that way.
Despite the smaller form factor, the screen size is still good, and more than large enough to make it a formidable device for movies and games, thanks to the slim bezel.
Now I have had the iPad 3, and the 4th and 5th gen iPod Touch, so I am no stranger to the Retina display. I know how crisp and gorgeous it is. And while I do miss it, this omission is by no means a deal breaker. The display is still good. If you are using the device for reading, this would be a more significant factor. Personally, I can't stand reading books on an LCD screen, and I do all my serious reading on an e-ink device.
And then there's the fact that it has the A5 processor, and not the latest A6. But right now, most apps don't utilize the A6, so it's not a big deal. And the A5 is still a very capable CPU. I have had no performance issues running the most demanding apps and games like Modern Combat 5, Vice City, and Infinity Blade II, both run very smoothly.
The lower price point is just what the iPad line needed. I believe all tablet users should try both an Apple, and Android tablet, and stick to what they like the most. But a lot of people haven't tried the iPad due to the cost. Now they have an affordable option. And for people who use the iPad on the go, they have a device that's easier to carry around. It will fit nicely in almost any handbag, and even some coat pockets.
So before you go knocking the device because of it's hardware specs VS the iPad 4, remember, that the mini is all about form factor, and an affordable price point. I could have purchased the iPad 4, but I feel like the 7.9" is the sweet spot. I think the iPad needed to be sized down and made more portable. Check it out in person. It just might grow on you.

this is the worst online transaction ive had in my entire life. i bought this device, and it only worked for a couple days before dying completely! It will not turn back on no matter what I do. Even after letting it charge over night and holding down the buttons simultaneously. I asked to return the device, since it is defective, but the seller twisted my words saying i was running more than 5 apps, when all i was doing was watching a video on the youtube app. i wasted a couple hundred dollars on this tablet and it doesnt even work!

The iPad mini is a nice device overall, feels solid and my daughter loves the selection of apps. However, the deluge of icons is really confusing and it's very hard to navigate to what I was last doing upon turning the device on. It requires remembering, finding and usually quite a few clicks and typing. Very unintuitive. The iOS 7 is a complete disaster, it is very hard to tell what is a link, what is button, what I can click and what I can't. I am often confused. When I watch photos, it feels like I am in an email. It was very hard to find the url box in the Safari browser. I often can't recognize what is the selected object or link or button. Well there are no buttons or links, only blue text. It is minimalist style to the point of uselessness. It feels like the work of a European preoccupied with style over usability. Very unamerican and very unapple-like. In addition, reading magazines is very unpleasant, requires monthly subscriptions. It is very hard to buy a Bloomberg Markets for $5 like I can on the street. Also each magazine has its own app with different scrolling motions. Some scroll to the right, some scroll down. It is extremely confusing and frustrating. I just want to read magazines and flip from page to page and I kind of like checking out the ads as I browse.
Also the content on the iPad is very expensive - movie rentals are north of $5-$6 and some hot titles can fetch $10 per rental. Also the 24 hour rental period is too short. I can rarely watch a movie in one night after coming home tired from work. Especially if the movie is 3 hours. I only got the iPad mini because the app ecosystem is so deep and there are games on it that my daughter wants to play that are unavailable on the Kindle Fire HDX. With the exception of the depth of the App Store, in every respect, the iPad mini is an inferior device to the Kindle Fire HDX.

This iPad mini is fantastic and I was able to buy it for less than if I had gone directly to the Apple Store. It is lightweight and it fits nicely into my purse. Even though I did not get the one with Retina Display, I can still read books on it outside in the sun. I love this iPad mini. I can hold it easily in one hand without fear of dropping it. Super for traveling too. If you are in the market for an iPad mini, look no further..this is the one you will be happiest with, believe me.

I have several older generation Kindle Fires. This IPAD mini has a better display and faster, easier, internet access and I like the size better than the larger or smaller Kindle Fires. Unfortunately it required 400mbs of download to work completely which wasn't practical at my rural home. After updating at my city office it worked fine. The computer to IPAD interface is largely via Itunes. The Kindle Fires have a great PC interface similar to a USB stick. I would rate the IPAD mini 5 stars for machine function and 1 star for PC interface.

I'm not going to go into the specs of the mini. Plenty of reviews on what it can and cannot do. I purchased a refurb one from a 3rd party seller the description was exact and it was packaged nicely. There were a few small almost undetectable scratches on the screen but that was listed in the description. One thing I noticed was when I went to set it up the previous owners iCloud info was still on it. Thought it was a little strange but easy fix. I ended up using a gift card I had and got this for practically nothing.

I bought this with the sole purpose for the use of the aviation app ForeFlight. Foreflight works great, the issues is the resolution of the charts and more specifically the approach plates. I was hoping that viewing the whole chart it would be more clear but the image is fuzzy until I zoom it in a bit closer than I would prefer. I do not know if the ipad mini with retina display would be better, but my guess it would be. This is not a huge deal breaker but it is frustrating when my Google Nexus tablet running a app that is 1/3 the price of ForeFlight provides better approach plate resolution. Foreflight is the better app, and I believe it is the tablet for the issue. If someone is wondering how big of a deal it is, well when you're in the clouds unable to see more than 6 inches out the window, getting bounced around, traveling at 170mph, it helps when you can read what you need to read easily.

It's a nice unit, about a half inch shorter in length than the Kindle HD 7". Lovely camera. Good video, great graphics. Holds a charge very well. Came with working charger and cord. Charges efficiently. Very challenging to set up. and sync with email. Lots of passwords-to every service offered. Tech support seems good. Unit seems sturdy. User friendly? Not really. Kindles are much more manageable. If I could have the storage ('64 GB' which means really 55) of the iPad in a Kindle, I'd toss the iPad in favor of a Kindle any day. The price compared with that of a high end Kindle Fire.

I just got this puppy two days ago, after my boyfriend dropped my mini 2 in the tub (don't ask, I still don't know). Anyway, obviously the best feature about this is the 128GB. Just adding 75 movies and still having space for music and other stuff made my day! Then again, you'll have to pry my 160 GB iPod classic out of my cold, dead hands! I'm not totally crazy with the silver/white and really wish they had it in black like my old mini (yes, I am a racist). Overall, I loved my old mini and fully expect to love this one just as much!

I bought a iPad mini and had to return it and I am please to say that there was absolutely no issue doing so. They gave me a replacement ipad in a few days and was very willing to satisfy my needs. There was very good customer service from start to finish with the process. I would like to say that this store is absolutely fabulous and customer friendly and would recommend anyone to buy from this store. I know I will definitely do so again. I give them a 5-star for their service. Great and reliable store.

An employee who quit in a rage put a protect my ipad setting on and wiped it. the only thing to do is to take it to the apple store but the employee also stole the receipt out of the file. THANKS APPLE FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE FOR A DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE TO DO!
I just need to give up on apple. I'm done. My advice, buy something cheaper, more powerful, and more reliable for your business!

This thing works and looks great! I haven't had a problem with it ever since I got it in September 2014. It works like it's brand new and does everything it's suppose to do.
My only concern would be the memory. I know it's suppose to be 16GB, but I would have thought it could hold more than just the nine apps I've downloaded and the few pictures I've taken.
It works as it's suppose to, but I think I'd go with the 32GB next time.

The iPad mini is an excellent little tablet. I use it every day and it works flawlessly.
Pros:
-Battery life is very, very satisfying. 9-10 hours as promised.
-Light and compact. I can hold it for long periods without getting fatigued.
-It just works. Apps work as advertised. Everything operates smoothly. Some juts or pauses every so often but nothing to get you frustrated (unlike my Galaxy Nexus).
-Brightness. The screen can really pump out a bright image in direct sunlight or as a flashlight in the dark.
-Premium feel. I almost always keep a case on it, but when I take it off I can really appreciate just how lavish the metallic finish and sturdy build feel in my hands. It really is a premium tablet that you wanna show off, as opposed to the new galaxy tabs that look like giant plastic phones.
-Perfect size for media consumption. I read the news and watch videos daily, surf tumblr, Facebook, etc. The size just feels right for all of it.
-Fantastic speakers. The bass won't "boom", but sound is clear and VERY loud for the size of the tablet. Easily fill a small room with ambience.
Cons:
-Screen resolution. It's alright with iOS 6. But I have the iOS 7 beta, which everyone gets in fall. The font is much slimmer and therefore looks VERY pixelated and jagged. They may change it before the official release but I doubt it as it's a huge part of the system overhaul. I'm still waiting for the retina mini.
-iPhone-only apps that aren't specifically made for iPad look like crap. They don't show them in retina resolution, but pre-iPhone 4 QVGA blown up. It looks terrible. The only workaround I found is jailbreaking and downloading Retinapad, which forces the apps into retina resolution. They look great after doubling the pixels.
-The usual apple limitations. No direct music download, no SD slot, limited customization. Here aren't really downfalls of the mini, just apple's devices as a whole.
Overall I love my iPad. Like I said, I have the iOS 7 beta and I know everyone will love this little tab even more when that rolls out. Better notification drawer, intuitive multitasking (no more little X's to repeatedly tap!), quick controls, it's all boss. I highly recommend it. The only thing I'd love more is a retina version, supposedly coming this fall. If you can wait 3 months, I'd hold off for that. Otherwise, dive into the addiction like the rest of us. Viva La iPad!

I bought my mom this device and she has never even touched a computer in her life and she never asks for anything so when she asked for an IPAD Apple was the first brand I chose. It came in a timely manner and she is learning how to use it. The only thing is I need to find a case but I am not sure how to figure out what sized I get ...The IPAD is awesome great quality and a name you can stand by.. thank you for making my 73 year old mother happy with the price being so reasonable I could afford making her which I will never be able to reciprocate all that she has done for me.
I am so happy and I cannot thank you enough, what makes my mom happy makes me happy

I ordered this a gift for my husband for Christmas and just getting around to writing a review. He was super impressed with the new graphics and how fast this little monster works. He was still using the original IPad from when they just came out 7 or 8 years ago (we gave this one to our 3 year old) He also likes the surplus of cases and accessories that are available to choose from.

Bought as a gift. Product did not connect to Verizon network. Spent a few hours working on it before I called Verizon. Verizon told me to talk with Apple. Apple told me to talk with Verizon. After a few days of this, I spoke to Apple Care again and they set up an appointment for me at a Local Apple Store. First Apple store verified something was wrong but I had to push them to provide a replacement product. First Apple store sent me to anther apple store that replaced the iPad Mini and the Verizon Sim card.
After the above 80 mile drive, 5 hours doing tech support and internet searches the final product works great and my Mother loves the product.
I currently have been part of the Apple family for over 5 years and still own 2 iPhones 2 iPads and 1 iMac and 2 Apple TV. This issue is the only concern I have had will any of the various apple products I still own.

This is a great device for the type of person who doesn't need to have the newest iPad Mini. Right now, the only differences in the iPad Mini 2 and 3 are the fact that the iPad Mini 3 comes with Touch ID and that you can get it in gold. Still the same processor and internals. For $300, I think this is the better buy. As for the retina display, yes, it's that fantastic.

The ipad miniis an apple product so of course its expensive. The ipad mini isnt the best though. The processor in my opinion compared to other tablets is slow. Now i think the extra money you're pating for an apple tablet is not worth it. Apple only goes for looks, not power. I also own an Nexus 7 (2013) it is cheaper than he ipad mini and is more powerful. I would recommend buying this insted of the iPad mini.
