Can be used as a drawing tablet. I use this regularly! This is a great and very useful program! I find lots of people use it and take to it quickly. It does meet my expectations. I would allow for more customization without the software. It is easy to use. There are room for improvements like compatibility with file types. This is worth it though.

I have purchased this ipad mini 4 from Amazon and it's good enough for me just to watch netflix!! I'm surprised it's running pretty fast with a very clear. It's a affordable price ipad, I think I spent about $200 on this one and I love it. . I like that the screen is not huge and it is compact enough to just throw in a bag. In addition, there’s so many things that it’s useful for and I haven’t had a problem with it at all. Finally, the images are still vivid and the spreed is like brand new. I like that my applications transfer from my iPhone to the IPad so that I can pick up where I left off. If you're going to buy this for your kids this is a very good choice also good price!!

I like the mini version because it’s lightweight and easy to carry around. The screen is big enough to watch videos, play games or take photos. The sound is as good as a regular size iPad. The display quality is pretty good, clear and stable. The con of this iPad mini is the quality of photos. It’s not as good as IPhone photos. When connecting it to the TV, the picture quality is reduced a lot. So I mostly used the IPhone to connect instead.

In a world of constantly changing tech, the Apple iPad mini 2 remains a reliable and capable device. I couldn't be happier with my purchase! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the first tablet I’ve ever owned. And I’ve always really liked Apple products because they work seamlessly together. They keep up with updates very often and there’s tons of things in the App Store. I was really excited to get this iPad because it had cellular data on it through ATT. I can play games anywhere I want or use it for my sidegigs and earn money. I like that the screen is not huge and it is compact enough to just throw in a bag. I took it car shopping with me so I could look up online if we went to a new dealership and use the loan calculators. There’s so many things that it’s useful for and I haven’t had a problem with it at all. I would say that I wish the battery would last longer because it sometimes doesn’t last a full day if you’re really on ... MoreThis is the first tablet I’ve ever owned.

There’s so many things that it’s useful for and I haven’t had a problem with it at all. I would say that I wish the battery would last longer because it sometimes doesn’t last a full day if you’re really on it especially with the bright screen. But it does hold a decent charge. I guess I just have hope for a better batteries soon because I feel like I’m always charging these things. Lol Anyways I definitely recommend this to anyone that’s looking for a tablet that you can just throw in a bag. There’s lots of case options for protection which I definitely recommend along with a tempered glass screen protector. If you’re spending this much on electronics then you probably should try to keep them safe. They do fall sometimes even if you’re a very careful person.

The Apple iPad mini 4 WiFi 16GB in Gold is a compact and powerful tablet that combines portability with impressive performance, providing a delightful user experience. One of the standout features of the iPad mini 4 is its sleek and lightweight design. The 7.9-inch Retina display offers sharp and vibrant visuals, making it ideal for various activities, from reading and browsing to watching videos and playing games.

Ive had Apple products for the past 10 years or so and will continue to buy them. They just work. Theyre reliable and fast. Even some of the older models and that is definitely true about the iPad mini. Weve purchased several reconditioned models for our grandchildren and they have enjoyed much more and better use of them than other well known tablets. Thoroughly recommend them. Okay you pay a bit more than for the average tablet, but quality and reliability comes at a price..

Excellent

Faster, thinner and with a better screen, the iPad Mini 4 is a return to form and the best small tablet.2014's iPad Mini 3 was a perfectly respectable tablet, but unfortunately it just wasn't the upgrade from the iPad Mini 2 that most people were expecting. Rather than revamping its internals, the only new feature introduced was Apple's Touch ID sensor and that was your lot. As a result, the Mini 3 seemed pretty poor value by comparison with its older brother.Fortunately, it looks like Apple's back on track this year, as the iPad Mini 4 seems to improve on its predecessor in pretty much every way, cramming eerily similar iPad Air 2 specs into a significantly smaller body, looking to bringing an even greater level of parity between the small and large tablets ... MoreFaster, thinner and with a better screen, the iPad Mini 4 is a return to form and the best small tablet.2014's iPad Mini 3 was a perfectly respectable tablet, but unfortunately it just wasn't the upgrade from the iPad Mini 2 that most people were expecting. Rather than revamping its internals, the only new feature introduced was Apple's Touch ID sensor and that was your lot. As a result, the Mini 3 seemed pretty poor value by comparison with its older brother.Fortunately, it looks like Apple's back on track this year, as the iPad Mini 4 seems to improve on its predecessor in pretty much every way, cramming eerily similar iPad Air 2 specs into a significantly smaller body, looking to bringing an even greater level of parity between the small and large tablets Apple puts out.Build qualityThere's one thing that seems to have remained a constant yet again, and that's Apple's excellent build quality, with the iPad Mini 4 seemingly retaining its crown as the best-made mini tablet. Its aluminium body, which is available in gold, space grey and silver, looks stunning, but still provides that reassuringly rugged feel that you expect from an Apple tablet. You just don't get this re-assuredness from plastic tablets, with the iPad Mini 4 blowing them all out of the water.There are a couple of minor changes here, which I feel are for the better. As was also the case with the Air 2, the iPad Mini 4 no longer has the switch on the side, which could be set to toggle the screen rotation lock or silent mode. However, given that rotation lock is now in the swipe-up Control Centre menu in iOS and you can make the iPad silent by holding the volume down button, the button has now become quite unnecessary; in fact, I didn’t miss it on the iPad Air 2, as is also the case here.There's also some newly redesigned volume buttons on the side too, so that rather from jutting out from the surface, they now sit inside a little hollow, which is yet again very similar to the button design on the iPad Air 2Moving from the iPad Mini 2 and 3, the 4th iteration also has slightly different speaker grills at the bottom (one row of holes at the bottom, rather than stacked rows), and the size is now very slightly different: at 203x134x6.1mm the iPad Mini 4 is slightly taller and thinner than the iPad Mini 3 (200x135x7.5mm). During use, I felt that there’s very little difference between the new model and the older models: it’s actually extremely comfortable to hold and use one-handed, as you'd expect.DisplayIn use, there wasn't anything particularly wrong with the iPad Mini 2/3’s screen: it was bright and clear. But, put the older iPads next to a tablet with a better display, such as the iPad Air 2 and the differences became much more obvious, with the iPad Mini losing out on colour accuracy and detail in images. The Expert Reviews colour calibration tests sadly reaffirmed this, finding out that the iPad Mini 3 was sadly only capable of displaying 67.1% of the sRGB colour gamut.This time around, we've now got a brand-new IPS panel with the iPad Mini 4 and the results are somewhat spectacular in comparison. I found that the new display was considerably better than the older version, with the colour calibrator registering that the iPad Mini 4 was capable of producing 94.8% of the sRGB colour gamut. What this means in real terms is that there's more detail in photos and more accurate colours, and I certainly found that the new display was one of the best that I’ve used.There's been no alteration with the resolution in this year's model, with the new screen maintaining the same 2,048x1,536 resolution of the iPad Mini 3. At a high 324ppi, it means that everything looks extremely sharp. I have to say that this improved screen makes a clear difference to the product and it’s good to see that the one slightly weaker area of previous models has been improved substantially.Performance and battery lifeUp until this point we’ve had two generations of the iPad Mini using the same old A7 chip, but Apple has boosted the iPad Mini 4 with an A8 chip this time around, the same as used in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. It's worth noting that this is not the A8X chip, as used in the iPad Air 2, which has three cores and greatly improved graphics performance. It’s also not the new A9 chip, as used in the iPhone 6S.Still, the difference in performance from the previous generation is definitely noteworthy. Running GeekBench 3, which measures processor performance, I found that the iPad Mini 4 scored 1694 in the single-core test and 3058 in the multi-core test; a clear improvement over the 1385 and 2485 respective scores of the iPad Mini 3. That also puts the iPad Mini 4 in good stead against its closest competition, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, which scored 1244 and 4182 - it's higher multi-threaded performance is because it has quad-core processor.Web performance was also exceptionally good, thanks to the combination of the slickness of Safari, paired with the efficient processor and operating system. Running the PeaceKeeper browser test, we got an exceptionally high score, showing that this tablet can easily cope with any website.In the GFXBench Manhattan benchmark, the iPad Mini 4 scored 925 running at native resolution and 1330 in the 1080p offscreen test. It shows that it’s more than capable of running any existing game you throw at it. Indeed, firing up Hearthstone, which is surprisingly graphically intense, the iPad Mini 4 ran the game beautifully as you'd expect.The 5,124mAh battery was also incredibly good at keeping its charge, with the tablet lasting for 10h 43m in our video playback test with the screen set to a brightness of 170cd/m2. That’s a little over an hour more than the iPad Mini 3, which is mostly down to a more efficient OS and processor. It's also the best iOS tablet battery life score I've seen this year, as it beat both the iPad Pro and iPad Air 2 in our battery life head-to-head table. It's still got a some way to go before it matches other small compact tablets, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, but it's still pretty good overall.iOS 9.2The iPad Mini 4 originally had iOS 9, which brought with it some beautiful optimisations and animations for the diminutive tablet. The biggest introduction at the time, however, was the Split View mode, which allows you to run two apps side-by-side. It instantly makes the iPad Mini feel much more like a productivity tool.Now, iOS 9.2 has been released and is available on the iPad Mini 4, but it wasn't quite so revolutionary. You do get some useful new apps, however, such as Apple News that brings curated news articles presented in an attractive and easy-to-use manner. Mail Drop, in particular, is also a welcome addition, which lets you attach large files to emails up to 5GB. It works by sending a preview of the attachment to the recipient who will then be able to download the attachment within 30 days.CameraThe 8-megapixel camera installed in the iPad Mini 4 is up from the 5-megapixel camera in the iPad Mini 3, which certainly means that there’s more detail in our test shots. Outside, I’m pretty impressed with the camera, as my test shots were well exposed with plenty of detail across all parts of the image, from the brightness of the sky to the darker parts in shadow.Inside and the camera’s limitations start to show up, with noise creeping into the image and colours becoming significantly more muted. It's worth mentioning that there’s no flash on this model, so if it gets too dark you simply won’t be able to take any shots. Given that most people will have a smartphone with them that's not necessarily a problem; what's important is that you can at least take some pretty good shots with this tablet outside when you need to.There’s the usual range of options we’ve come to expect from Apple devices here, including Panoramas, 1080p video and 120fps slow-motion at a resolution of 1,280x720. Video, as with images, works best outside where there’s lots of natural light, but suffers a little inside from image noise.TouchIDAs with the iPad Mini 3, this new tablet also has the TouchID fingerprint reader, which is becoming a substantially more important part of iOS. For starters, it gives you a quicker way of logging into your iPad, rather than having to type in a six-digit code (the default code length for iOS 9). It's also being used by many more apps too, such as for logging into your Amazon account. Finally, you can use it to authorise Apple Pay payments in-app, which saves having to type your credit card details in.StorageThere’s no memory card slot, as is normal for Apple, so you need to buy the model with the right amount of storage for you. The entry level model has just 16GB of storage (£319), which isn’t really enough. Next up is the 64GB model (£399), which is the one that most people will buy; at the top is a 128GB version (£479). It’s a shame that 32GB isn’t available as the entry-level option.Wi-Fi and 4GAs with previous generations, you get a choice of Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi+Cellular models. The first has 802.11ac Wi-Fi for fast wireless connections, which you’ll notice if you’ve got an 802.11ac router and a quick internet connection when you’re downloading apps or large files, such as films. If you pay the extra $100 for the Cellular model, you also get a built-in 4G receiver, so that you can also get online when you like.You can fit any standard microSIM, although the iPad Mini 4 comes with an Apple SIM built-in. I have to say that this such a brilliant idea, as the Apple SIM can connect to any supporting cellular network, letting you buy the data plan that’s the best value for what you need now, and then letting you change to a different provider later.

I'll take an iPad over a Galaxy Tablet Any Day

I actually bought this at Best Buy at the end of July 2017 at a Black Friday in July Sale - plus I traded in a Samsung Tablet to get a bigger discount. After owning a couple of other Apple products and seeing how reliable they are, as well as Apple's customer support has always been a positive experience, I knew that buying this iPad Mini 4 was a good choice.Even though I am an Android phone user, I prefer to keep my music on a separate device. I prefer Apple over Android when it comes to my music and entertainment. I have an iPod Touch from about 2010 (and it still works), and I used that device a few times a week, especially to listen to music during a long commute. But after a few years, the battery would not hold a charge anymore and it needed to be plugged in ... MoreI actually bought this at Best Buy at the end of July 2017 at a Black Friday in July Sale - plus I traded in a Samsung Tablet to get a bigger discount.

I prefer Apple over Android when it comes to my music and entertainment. I have an iPod Touch from about 2010 (and it still works), and I used that device a few times a week, especially to listen to music during a long commute. But after a few years, the battery would not hold a charge anymore and it needed to be plugged in constantly. I was considering getting another iPod touch, but the strange thing is Apple's pricing - for a while, the 128 GB iPod touch was the same price as the iPad Mini 4 128 GB - $399. That didn't make any sense, at all. Apple has since dropped the price of this iPod touch to $299 sometime later in 2017. It was a no-brainer decision here - I went for the iPad Mini 4.Build quality is great, something I know Apple is known for. The display is really incredible, The camera is pretty good, not the best, I won't split hairs, I know many people out there who will go into details about the camera, but it's good for casual or everyday pics. If people want a better camera then they can move up to one of the iPad Pro models or use their phones, as I would use my LG phone to get better pics.I am not a gamer, so even though I have several games on the IPM4 that are more mainstream and not the high-level or high-intensity games that people use to review performance - it works great for me. I realize 2GB of RAM is not the best, would have been great to see it bump up to at least 3GB. The one complaint - I wish the battery life was better.Now I bring the iPad Mini 4 when commuting, obviously a big upgrade from the iPod Touch, but much more portable than the larger iPad (I also own an iPad 3 with the 9.7" screen, which has stopped receiving updates around Oct 2016, but still works, it's just slowed down). For those of us who have phones with displays that are not mega-colossal it's great to have the iPad Mini 4 around, to use as a 2nd device, especially to use the Wi-Fi HotSpot feature.Per the title of this review, it's obvious that I don't like Galaxy Tablets. And I hope that the person/party responsible for posting my review will allow me to be honest but critical of Samsung based on my experience - and these additional reasons are relevant as to why I chose to come back to Apple.I used to own a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, got it for Christmas a few years back. Great tablet, loved it - had a beautiful display, was definitely fast enough, and I wanted to give it a try. But the issue with this Galaxy Tablet is that it started on KitKat, and Samsung never offered any update for the tablet past or beyond KitKat, not even to Lollipop.When I contacted Samsung's customer support earlier this year in 2017, both via online chat on the computer as well as calling phone support, I was told multiple times by Samsung technical support representatives that there would be an update for the Galaxy Tab Pro. This update was going to happen later on in the 2017 year, but all the reps that I communicated with could not give me a timeframe as to when this update would happen.Bottom line, Samsung threw us Tab Pro owners under the bus, by not offering an update to this tablet, and not only that, I was lied to multiple times by Samsung Customer reps. After doing some research I realized there were other ways to perform an update to the Galaxy Tablet by utilizing custom ROMs, but I didn't want to mess around with that.In Comparison -- the iPad 3 that I still have from 2012, I was able to update it for 4 years, from IOS 5.1 all the way till 9.3.5 . From my experience, there's a big difference between Apple and Samsung. Apple stands behind their products. Samsung on the other hand, from what I experienced is not worth my time or money anymore.I decided to use the Trade in Value for the Galaxy Tablet towards the purchase of the iPad Mini 4. I tried Samsung's Android Tablet, and the tablet itself was great, but I don't deal with companies like Samsung who not only don't support their customers but also lie to them. I realize there are other Android Tablets out there, and i would like to try another Android Tablet at some point, but for now I am sticking with Apple and the iPad Mini 4, and my non-Samsung Android phone.

Love the iPad Mini 4

After returning a Samsung Galaxy, which is a little bit bigger than the iPad Mini 4, I bought the ipad mini after doing some research on the different models and bc I didn't want to keep lugging my laptop around with me to my long medical appts every week. I needed something that wasn't as heavy to hold and smaller for my hands bc I have arthritis and the larger tablet models are just too big for me to hold bc they would make my hands hurt. I've tried a couple different ones and didn't like them. So I bought the gold iPad Mini 4 with 128GB and couldn't be happier. Not only is it very slim, sleek and beautiful, the response times on the touch screen are very quick and snappy which makes loading web pages and doing other tasks a breeze. I do have trouble with the ... MoreAfter returning a Samsung Galaxy, which is a little bit bigger than the iPad Mini 4, I bought the ipad mini after doing some research on the different models and bc I didn't want to keep lugging my laptop around with me to my long medical appts every week.

Not only is it very slim, sleek and beautiful, the response times on the touch screen are very quick and snappy which makes loading web pages and doing other tasks a breeze. I do have trouble with the fingerprint sign in feature for some reason. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't and I've reset my fingerprints a couple of times. At this point, it's just easier and quicker for me to use the 6 digit pin sign in instead. But other than that, I can't find anything about the iPad that I don't like. If you own an iPhone, you won't be happy with any other type of tablet. The Samsung Galaxy I originally purchased just didn't cut it and had to return it within a week of purchasing it. Once I bought the iPad and started using it, I felt very comfortable that I had made a very good decision in buying it bc of my familiarity with the iOs format. Also, Best Buy matched an online price I found from another competitor giving me an even better deal. The iPad of course cost more than the Samsung Galaxy, but to me it was worth spending a little more $$ to get a better product. I just wouldn't have been satisfied with any other brand of tablet.
