I LOVE this ipad. AND so glad I bought it at the lower price!

It makes life easier. Finding new apps to add everyday. And enough storage not to worry about not having room on it.

Small and easy to transport

I bought this for my wife's Christmas to replace the iPad mini that she has had for about eight years. She knows she's getting the new mini 4 and is absolutely delighted.

I love my ipad. It's my third ipad, second mini. I went with the gold because it was on sale. It's a little blingy, but it was $50 less. I'll take it! The mini is a great size and fits in my purse for reading on the go. Love it.

Got this to use as a e-reader. Works well with local library. Very fast and reliable downloadsource. Will probably get more Apple products.

Love the size, weight, storage, battery life and price. My old larger iPad was always giving me low battery warnings. Was able to set up without problems.

Pricey for a compact tablet; Costly relative to Apple's own previous-gen (and still-available) Air and Mini iPads; Rotation-lock switch relegated to software; As ever; no storage expansion via MicroSD

Editors' note, June 8, 2017: At its Worldwide Developer's Conference , Apple unveiled a new iPad Pro . Starting at $649, ￡619 and A$949 , the new model packs a a bigger screen -- a 10.5-inch Retina display -- into a footprint similar to that of the cheaper 9.7-inch model Apple debuted a few months...

Compact size, vivid display, works with split-screen apps in iOS 9; Basically, a shrunken-down iPad Air 2; Perfect hand feel for vacations

Price is high for an 8-inch tablet; Slower graphics mean some apps and games don't feel as zippy; Small screen makes for cramped typing and multitasking

Last year, Apple delivered a dud of an iPad. I'm not talking about the iPad Air 2, which set an incredible new benchmark for the type of speed and performance consumers can expect from tablets. No, I'm referring to the disappointing, mailed-in iPad mini 3 .
