    I am normally an Android person. I bought this Apple mini to use as a screen and app device for flying a DJI drone. It works well with DJI's Fly App, bigger screen to see than a phone, and is normally bright enough except for direct sun and then just use a shade. I haven't used much of the Apple apps and still learning because it's a good bit different from an Android device. For what I have done, it works well.

    I was waiting for the launch of iPad mini but it is more of the same, it is an overvalued product, the front camera and the back camera don't have good resolution, I expected something better for the high price.

    Exactly what I was looking for. I have a wifi only iPad, but wanted one I could use when out of range of wifi. Chose mini size as I feel it'll take up less space when transporting it, yet be sufficient to provide an adequate screen size for viewing. Honestly first Apple product I've bought in 2+ decades that wasn't on sale, and forgot to ask for price check, but covid situation and physical handicap compelled me to make my store visit as short as possible. Bought unlocked model as Best Buy does not offer US Cellular. Only disappointment so far is with new Apple(?) policy that reward points earned on Apple purchases may only be used for Apple products and not accrue as BB reward points.

    Wow, the new iPad mini is super fast. The new A12 chip on this tablet is a beast! Touch ID seems to be a lot faster as well compared to the older mini. Wish the bezels were smaller but I can live with it.

    I've been wanting a iPad mini for a few years. Glad I waited for the new one. The size is perfect and having LTE is awesome. Since it's unlocked, I can insert my phone's sim card and it's in business.

    Upgraded to this latest version because of the increased storage space. I use it for most things that I use my laptop for. It's compact enough to fit in my purse, but large enough to read books and text.

    I love the bump in performance upgrade from my iPad Mini 4 to the new Mini 5. Not to mention the addition of it being Apple Pencil compatible. That combination keeps my 2 yo entertained.

    I bought this to replace a iPad Mini II that I've used in flying (Foreflight) for maybe 10 years. It was 16 gig, this one 64 gig. Night day difference in the display and obviously storage.

    I always have been using Apple product I had the bigger tablet before and I really like this one Because it’s more convenient and smaller easy to carry around but one thing I don’t like is I thought it would have a phone app just like an iPhone because this can we use over Wi-Fi and data but I couldn’t make phone calls unless I’m using in with App or something like that

    Bought this IPad mini for my wife, it is the perfect size to fit in her purse. She loves the gold color. The cellular option is great to have as it works anywhere there is cell service. I’m very happy with this purchase.

    I bought the iPad mini (5th Generation) strictly to use as an audio book reader. It is lightweight, but still has good volume for listening. I'm happy with my purchase.
