Updated my old mini. Pluses: Very fast cpu video; great screen form factor; quad speakers for vertical or horizontal use; plenty of memory for my needs, USB-C is convenient. Minuses: I miss the home button - they try to do too much with the remaining buttons; touch id is slow somewhat clumsy - you have to master a suite of gestures in order to switch apps, etc. No audio out either, only bluetooth devices. iPadOS inexplicably moves things around from iOS; most maddening is the on-screen keyboard, which also works poorly. The camera is just okay but not nearly the quality of newer iPhones. Despite all this the iPad Mini is my favorite browsing and viewing device for use all day long.

Has a thicker and heavier design to accommodate a larger battery and high-resolution screen. Its dimensions are 7.87 x 5.3 x 0.29 inches (HWD). The device has a gray color that looks beautiful and luxurious compared to the black color of previous versions. iPad mini 2 has 2 versions: 16GB and 32GB. Overall, the design of the iPad mini 2 is considered beautiful, thin, light and quite sharp. In terms of configuration, the product uses the Apple A7 - 64-bit dual-core processor with a clock speed of 1.3GHz. Long-lasting battery capacity. The leading name in the market, I love and use Apple products. However, I have not used some new products yet. Camera and display so good.

This look small but very comfortable to worked with. I have it for a long time and never have any issue with it. Worked very good and look very nice. It will fit in your packback becausenit thin and small, will not take alot of space. The quality of this IPad was very clear picture and look very nice, it light and have lot of storage. Also gibe you an option for external storage if you don’t want to used all your internal storage. Whrn you need to take picture itnis very good quality as result. It been upgrade so it run very fast, and some model type have WI-FI included if you need it it, you can used it as a phone. Price is alittle expensive, but it worked for your invested.

The Apple iPad mini is by far the best little tablet anyone can own! Especially for my daughter! Never do I have to worry about viruses! I also love the looks and Size it fits perfect in my bag and in any bag! Easy to take anywhere and has the longest battery life. This is great for creative minds and writing learning reading drawing and homework and anything you can think of! It so amazing! My daughter has used it for everything! Fun school work, movie sleepovers with friends long car rides to keep busy study buddy! It’s been a great investment and was not to much money not more than you pay for the other ones and the Apple mini BY FAR IS THE BEST YOU WILL FIND OUT THERE! Done walk run! If you don’t have one and get it!

First let me tell you I was hesitant about buying an iPad Mini. I even considered buying an iPad Pro: I have had two 9.7" iPads (series 4 and series 6) so I thought I would miss a larger screen. Turns out, I didn't. I will give you a few hints on what to expect with this device: Pros: * Higher resolution: One of the main factors that led me to buy this tiny beast was the screen resolution (319 ppi), which is higher than any other iPad's resolution. I highlight this feature because I use my iPad primarily to read and watch IT videos. * Portability (it's really lightweight! You will be astounded when you pick one of these) * Size (You can hold the whole device with one hand while writing with the other, something unthinkable in larger iPads). * Battery life (Discharge ... MoreFirst let me tell you I was hesitant about buying an iPad Mini.

You will be astounded when you pick one of these) * Size (You can hold the whole device with one hand while writing with the other, something unthinkable in larger iPads). * Battery life (Discharge rate: about 5% / hour when playing videos; Charge rate: about 10% / 14 min) * TouchID (Very convenient, and it recognizes the fingerprint very quickly) * Stereo speakers (they sound really good!) * Apple Pencil support (When paired with an Apple pencil, it's a breeze. I'm using a note-taking application that allows me to use my iPad as a small notebook. It made me wish I had done this while I was still studying). * Three months of Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and Apple Music (Apple gives you three months of Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and Apple Music by only purchasing the device. So I'm enjoying a series in Apple TV+ "For all mankind" and it really looks great in this screen. I'm planning to watch other productions during these three months). Cons: * No silent mode switch (I use teh control center to lower the volume when needed) * No FaceID (I use the TouchID and it's very convenient and fast) * No raise to wake (I gently double tap the screen to wake it up). * No Promotion (There is no workaround to this. The device has a standard 60hz screen, so you will have to decide if you accept it or not) * Some users report sort of a "jelly effect" in the screen when you fast scroll the screen. I haven't noticed anything similar to this behavior in any direction (up, down in vertical nor portrait mode).

I like iPad mini because it is travel friendly. It’s not too big and not too small. It’s just the perfect size that won’t add up that much weight in my carry-on. It is lightweight making it much more favorable when I have to just throw it inside my leisure bag when I’m roaming around or out and about. I love that I was able to choose the one with a WiFi functionality, but the problem is, you cannot just use your extra sim ordinary cellular SIM card. You have to use a SIM card specifically programmed for iPad use or you can just just choose a provider directly on your cellular settings for prepaid or postpaid options without using a SIM card at all. I just wish I could use my extra cellular line SIM card that was given to us free by our cellular provider so I didn’t ... MoreI like iPad mini because it is travel friendly.

Honestly being that I'm a huge tech nerd and am typically drawn to the android ecosystem and really am not a fan of Apple as a company, I wasn't sure how I would like this product. Now that I have the iPad mini in my hands i'm in love with it, between the amazing battery life and great app selection (for the most part more on this later) I have no major complaints. I'm currently writing this on the iPad mini on day three with no charge and i'm only at 54%. Really the only issue with choosing older Apple product is the stupid app support being dropped for older versions of Ios. This is the primary reason i bought this device. I have some older devices with the same issue, my original iPod touch and my iPhone 4s. But either way im happy to own such a lightweight ... MoreHonestly being that I'm a huge tech nerd and am typically drawn to the android ecosystem and really am not a fan of Apple as a company, I wasn't sure how I would like this product.

Prince Express iPad Air 2 is amazing! Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2021 I’m very pleased with the 2018 iPad Air 2 I ordered from the seller Prince Express on June 29, to receive it so quickly on July 2! I was very happy to see on the FedEx tracking site that the package would arrive so soon. As for the iPad Air 2 itself, the unit I received is in clean, beautiful, pristine condition and great working order. It powers on fine, the battery holds a long charge, and there is absolutely no scratches, nicks and dings on the aluminum back, sides and no cracks in the screen or any sign of mistreatment by the previous owner. I was also very impressed to see the iPad was sent with a plastic back cover attached and also a matte glass screen protector already ... MorePrince Express iPad Air 2 is amazing!

I was also very impressed to see the iPad was sent with a plastic back cover attached and also a matte glass screen protector already applied to the screen, (I play games a lot and like to read on a tablet) I’m not sure if the seller applied the screen protector, or the previous did and it was left on, but I really appreciate it being there and its matte finish is easier on my eyes for lack of screen glare. I have also happy to find a brand new non-OEM charger and power cable in the box too. I’m very happy to recommend buying iPads from Prince Express as a great seller to buy as the shipping time, and fantastic grade A iPad I received is just an amazing deal and much appreciated!

Apple iPad Mini Performs As I Expected

The iPad Mini is met my expectations when it arrived. I wanted an easy-to-carry functional tablet with a decent color display mostly for reading books from my digital library and news sources with color illustrations. I have two ereaders, a Amazon Oasis and a Kobo H20, neither of which produce color, and both of which have eink type displays with long battery lives. The iPad Mini provides more functionality and has a more pleasing color display adding to my reading enjoyment at or away from home. It maintains a good battery charge throughout a typical day and charges fast enough for me which I do every night. This was a good purchase and not a waste of money as some others have been. So why four stars? I'm not into the Apple ecosystem owning mostly android phones ... MoreThe iPad Mini is met my expectations when it arrived.

So why four stars? I'm not into the Apple ecosystem owning mostly android phones and tablets, some a couple of Kindle Fire HDs, 8 and 10, two Microsoft PC laptos and one desktop. The iPad Mini serves a relatively narrow purpose as stated above, while my other computing devices satisfy other requirements. I'm sure a brand new lastest version iPad Mini would be even more impressive, but that was not in my current budget. This refurbished model arrived in excellent condition and I have found no performance issues to report.

Terrible buying experience with Bestbuy!!!

I will be very honest on this purchase. I purchased this refurbished iPad thinking I was getting a safe good deal from “Bestbuy”. This has been a total disaster for me and absolutely useless. They sold me an iPad that was still signed in by the previous user. They did a very poor job. I have been locked out of this iPad I brought from bestbuy. I went in store they didn’t want to return it or give me credit or money back because it was just over 14 days. To top it off I went in store they kept going back in forth saying it’s an online purchase deal with online, spoke to online they tell me to go into store. All this is because Bestbuy didn’t do there job and clear previous user from iPad which technically not my fault. They handled this situation very poorly so now I ... MoreI will be very honest on this purchase. I purchased this refurbished iPad thinking I was getting a safe good deal from “Bestbuy”.

They handled this situation very poorly so now I been stuck with this iPad I brought from Bestbuy collecting dust. Me the customer basically took a lost of money on this iPad and this Billion dollar company couldn’t even take accountability for their poor refurbishment. They could’ve easily just took the product back, got me another one, gave me a gift card. They did absolutely nothing no accountability at all but leave their customer with a useless iPad they sold that was logged into previous user Apple ID. Please think twice before buying refurbished products from them they are not trustworthy. If you do have it shipped to the store and checked out. I’ve been a customer to them since like 2010 or so. Let’s see if they try to take accountability for this issue. If not this is still a learning lesson for the next buyer. Good luck, don’t trust there refurbished products double check them
