Best iPad I’ve owned

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2019

Style: Wi-FiSize: 64GBColor: Space GrayVerified Purchase

This is so far the best and most advanced iPad that I have ever owned. As a brief history I have owned the iPad mini 3 and the iPad 5th generation. The new A12 chip makes this iPad so fast and fluid and is honestly more power than I will ever need in my day to day use of this product. I love that this iPad has a fully laminated display it makes reading on it so much better and of course it eliminates that annoying air gap that is on the budget iPad 5th and 6th gen. Another of the great features of this iPad is the True Tone display that adjusts the display to the lighting conditions of the room your in. This makes it much easier on your eyes when your using the iPad and it’s effects are in my opinion most notable when reading. The battery life on this iPad is excellent and the A12 chip is to thank for that since it’s very efficient, with how much I use it I can go for days on a single charge though of course your mileage will vary based on use and other settings. The mini definitely falls into an odd market as it has the same specs as the new iPad Air just in a much smaller form factor, so I’d definitely recommend the mini if you’ve got an older iPad and want to upgrade without breaking the bank and don’t mind the smaller form factor or even prefer your iPads in a more portable form. Also if your looking to buy an iPad for the first time and you want one that isn’t exactly a budget model but at the same time you don’t want to spend the kind of money it takes to get a pro model then the mini 5 might just be for you. I’m in the camp of people that prefer this smaller form as it’s easier to port around and if you read books on it it’s not going to tire your arm out like the larger models. The mini definitely has a viable market even in 2019 and I believe is worth a look if your curious about how an iPad of this size compares to the much larger versions that Apple sells.

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2020

Style: Wi-FiSize: 64GBColor: Space GrayVerified Purchase

I won't go into depth about what the iPad is. If you don't know by now, then I can't help you, but think of it as a big iPhone that does everything but make calls. You can download apps, text, email, use FaceTime, etc. I had an older iPad I finally donated to my daughter because I felt like the battery life wasn't so great. So my main questions became: what size iPad did I want to replace it? And what kind of processing power did I need? I use my iPad almost exclusively to read articles (NY Times, New Yorker). That doesn't require a big processor, so the iPad Pro was out. The mini was significantly cheaper than the regular iPad or iPad air. I worried it might be too small, but I think the size is ideal. If you have a Kindle, the size is comparable: easy to hold in one hand as you read. The images are crisp and clear. If you're already on the Apple ecosystem, then setup is a breeze. I think it took me all of five minutes. I love that I can start an article on my iPad and finish it on my phone, and vice-versa. I've found that Apple products always last a long time, so their price tag is justified. If you're considering an iPad, the tougher question becomes which type to buy. I think you need to analyze what you'll be using it for. One thing to bear in mind: you can generally expand the screen contents if you're having trouble seeing, but the print can naturally appear somewhat small on the mini. If that's a concern, go with something larger-screened. Overall, I think the iPad (regardless the type) can provide hours of entertainment and is well worth the price. I do wish the battery lasted longer, but I bet I go a week between charges, and naturally battery is going to drain when you're looking at a brightly-lit screen.

Preforms business apps well and battery life lets you work longer.

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2019

Style: Wi-FiSize: 256GBColor: Space GrayVerified Purchase

I’ve been putting off buying a tablet until I found one that suites my needs. The iPad mini 5 is that device. It’s battery life is prolific and coupled without a long recharge time will have you working or playing for hours. It’s small size, approximately 8” diagonally and 8” x 5” overall, is an asset without sacrificing screen size which is nice. Initially I worried about text size and color enrichment being diminished, but after using it for an hour these fears were allayed. Peripheral devices like mouse, keyboard and speakers hook up with ease.

256GB was a necessity for me since I opted for a carrier free iPad. My iCloud storage may make it a moot point but sometimes while traveling I don’t have time or WiFi to update and it’s nice to have that flexibility. Your preferences are easy to change depending on what you’ll use this device for such as brightness, screen time etc.

I’m perhaps in the minority when it comes to fingerprint ID rather than facial recognition software given recent developments with privacy. The iPad mini five is probably the last iPad to have the fingerprint ID in lieu of facial recognition which to me was a selling point.

I prefer strategy games such as Sid Meier’s Civilization which this device is more than capable of performing with good sound and enriching colors. Bluetooth devices sync well such as gaming controllers.

The Camera is better than my iPhone 6s but is still weak. Although this is not a huge selling point for me since I use this device primarily for editing photos for my business which it does very well.

Overall the iPad mini 5 exceeded my expectations and I chose this device over other competitors for its nimble design without sacrificing performance. I’m glad Amazon ended it’s IOS device embargo as their price was better than Target, AT&T and Apple.

Produto de excelente qualidade, apesar de ultrapassado

Reviewed in Brazil on December 19, 2021

Style: Wi-FiSize: 64GBColor: Space GrayVerified Purchase

Produto extremamente fino, passa uma ótima sensação de qualidade, ótima construção e acabamento belíssimo, mas a tela apesar de, linda e super fluída, apresenta marcas de dedos com muita facilidade. Outro ponto que também não me agradou foi o fato de nesse modelo especificamente, o adaptador de tomada não ser padrão brasileiro.

Produto foi entregue rápido, lacrado, novo! loja de venda excelente, todos receptivos pra dúvidas. Aparelho do tamanho ideal é a possibilidade de usar a caneta seja da Apple ou de outra marca aumenta ainda mais os benefícios do aparelho. Se precisasse, compraria novamente com a mesma loja, do mesmo jeitinho. Tudo perfeito

Device warms up a tad too much for my liking during normal usage...( and I'm not using the device for extended period of time that would be the cause of the unit warming up). I have owned 3 units in the last eight years...
