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.!

Love the size!
Great mini iPad. Love the size for streaming shows while I’m cooking. It’s bigger than my cell phone and way smaller than my laptop. It’s a perfect size for my needs. The price was phenomenal on prime day, at $349 when Apple had this for $499 still. I love the pink color, I love the vibrancy of the screen and how fast the processor seems to be. I absolutely recommend it if you need a small portable iPad!This was NOT free from Vine, I purchased with my own money.

The best mini ipad since sliced bread!! It's awesome. WOW is all I can say. Highly recommend.
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024
I spent 7 hours researching a good ipad. I wanted something to use in my hand, not to big or small. I am coming from the iPad mini 5th generation and WOW is this a huge step up. So many great things about it. Not one bad thing at all. I have 9 apple products and love them all. I'm well pleased. Apple does it again. I am glad that I got a good price for this. Apple and eBay sells this for $100 more so I bought it from Amazon. I am so glad that I did. It is super fast. Great feel, quality and awesome camera. The picture quality is unreal. It is very portable even with a case on it. The storage is great. I have 30GB free even after the new iOS install. This is a larger screen than the iPad 5th generation. No more home button, yay. I love the round square edges. I love the pencil 2 charging option. The new A15 bionic chip is awesome. So fast. The battery last 10 hours. Everything loads faster and better. My web pages load so much faster. The video content is awesome. I am very impressed. The 8.3" screen is larger than the 7.9" screens and you can tell the difference. I love the edge to edge viewing. The colors are so very real and vibrant. I highly recommend this. Must buy. I buy a new ipad Everytime they come out with the mini.Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024
