iPad mini (6th Generation): A15 Bionic, 8.3-inch Liquid Retina Display, 256GB, Wi-Fi 6 + 5G Cellular, 12MP front/12MP Back Camera, Touch ID, All-Day Battery Life – Starlight

Once upon a time, a little girl was playing on her 2016 iPad that still had a button on the bottom of the screen. This girl would play Roblox all the time and she would not do any house chores or go outside anymore; she would be on that iPad for hours. Till one day her father broke it because she did nothing to help- out in the house. Years later…Yes, I was that little girl. I worked in landscaping trying to make money to buy a new iPad for school. I saw that all the iPads were too big, or they were too expensive. Nothing was to my liking, I wanted something small that could fit in any bag I carried or if I wanted to carry it would not look so big on my arm. That is when I gladly found the iPad mini. It was small and cute, but even with it being small. It was perfect for everyday use. It has Touch ID but there was no button on the bottom of the screen, it was on top of the iPad where the on and off button is. Making is easy access to use your iPad and do not worry it also has your basic 4 or 6 passwords just in case anyone wants to counterfeit your fingerprint. Now, let us talk about the battery on this iPad. It lasts up to the end of the day which is good if you take online notes in class. It comes in any style of service, as a college student I have Wi-Fi only on this iPad which is good enough for me.Let me get started on how you can decorate your home screen in your style, you can use photo widgets to create a pretty style, making it any design you would want. Like if you love the ocean your iPad mini can be based on the ocean by putting cute photo widgets of the ocean. My design contains a forest and my favorite color with a simple that is in the color dark green. Not only can you decorate your iPad mini you could also add other widgets to have fast access to any app if you do not want to look for it or you can put the widget on your Home Screen or even your Lock Screen. Speaking about the Home Screen the good thing about it is that you can split your screen, and I love that feature because it makes it easier to read a passage of a book and then the other screen has the questions and that makes my life so much easier, I tell you. Making it faster to do homework. You can now have another app open while doing your homework, with the multi-task feature that allows you to watch your favorite show while doing your homework!Not only is the Home Screen and Lock Screen the best thing out there, but your iPhone or Apple Watch connects to the iPad, which also lets you send a sneaky text message in class if teachers do not allow phones. Not only are text messages connected to the iPad but also if someone calls it shows on your screen as well. So, there is no excuse for why you do not answer your mom’s messages. If you love taking pictures of anything, the iPad mini camera has such excellent quality, or if you love to make videos and you need somewhere to edit, you can do that on the iPad mini too. Let's say you are an artist, and you love to draw on the iPad, the new mini canvas feature can get that idea on your screen before you forget.Overall, what I love about the iPad mini is that even with it being small, the price for it is not even expensive. It is in a fair price range perfect for my 10-year-old self to afford with the birthday money I would have had, if only my parents did not take it away. It is a perfect starter iPad if you are a college student or high school student. Or even if you want one like I said something small and light weight the iPad mini is your perfect fit.!

This iPad Mini is perfect for everything—great screen, fast A15 chip, and the pink color is super cute. Battery lasts all day and the cameras are sharp. Easy to carry and use anywhere.

I’m so glad I finally got this. I was considering a refurbished one but glad I spent the extra money to get a new one. I know it’s not the newest one however I wanted the pink one to match all my other Apple products. It came brand new sealed in the box. Everything was as described.

Love my iPad mini. We got it to use as a family, my son uses it when in the car to watch his videos and I use it for everything else. Great picture, sound, and screen quality.

Ive had an iPad mini for years. The size is perfect and actually replaced a kindle which never worked. This iPad mini is great. I can’t afford to get the latest and greatest and this one was highly recommended for a long time. Many months later I’m still loving it.

Great little iPad. As a pilot flying small aircraft, this is the perfect size. Not too big where I can’t see my instruments and not too small where I can’t read important information. It fits in one hand while also have a beautiful screen. For the price I wouldn’t see a reason to get a larger iPad. Battery life is great even on my long flights. I call this little guy my Fly pad.

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 use this mostly for entertainment and it works well for that. The size is perfect for my needs, the battery life is decent. I wish I waited to get more storage.
