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.
Perfect, exactly what I was waiting for. I was (am) an owner of the original gen1 iPad Mini, which I loved. However, it has become too slow for most use cases and is 2 iOS revs back, so I had to upgrade. I was holding out for an update, not wanting to purchase the Mini-4 which is already 2+ years old. The Mini-5 is very fast, responsive and the perfect size for how I use an iPad.
I've had a couple of small Android tablets for reading books and newspapers (via Kindle) and general web articles. This beats those tablets for three reasons. First, the pixel resolution is better. Second, the 4:3 screen ratio is better for reading compared to the 16:9 and 16:10 ratios on the other two tablets. Third, It looks to me that Amazon has better IOS than Android Kindle software. The Android software will sometimes get the pages of the newspaper messed up (NY Times) requiring the software to be reloaded. I have not seen that yet with this tablet.
I bought the space gray color with the base 64G of storage. I did pay extra for the 4G capability because I had a low cost subscription from T-Mobile. The nano-sim quickly moved from my old tablet to this one. I have not tried their eSim option. The overall quality and feel is good but it does better wrapped in a slim no-slip case for carrying around. I'm using a Soke case. The screen is supposed to resist finger smudges but I don't think so plus it seems to be harder to clean.
It's certainly pricey compared to other options especially when you opt for 4G. I probably would have bought the WiFi only version if I did not have such a good data subscription. I expect to keep this for several years so I hope the battery lasts or is easy to change.
Upgraded from an ipad mini 2 and the performance difference is amazing! Much faster. Love the screen, very clear and setup was a snap. Best and most powerful small tablet on the market and runs all aps quickly and smoothly. Very small and light, easy to hold in one hand. Battery life is simply stunning at about 10 hours. Can't recommend highly enough for those looking for a smaller tablet. Great for reading books from as it the size of a book.
I love my iPad mini! It’s my first apple tablet. I love the size of the screen and that the weight of the tablet isn’t too much for my wrists. I purchased this tablet for on the go productivity, reading, webinars and other stuff. Definitely worth the price and it is a beautiful device. Way better than the Samsung tablet I purchased years ago (which stopped charging, the speakers stopped working and it was very slow)! I love that all my favorite stuff was easy to install and load. It’s super fast and sensitive to touch which I wasn’t expecting but am very pleased with how everything responds so fast. I’m definitely thinking about purchasing the pencil to go with it for notes and maybe other things. Can’t wait to use this for library school classes! I can definitely see me using this tablet for a long time.

I owned an iPad Mini 2 since 2014, but that is getting slow year by year. I wanted a faster tablet with the same size and the Apple finally decided to continue the mini line, so could replace it. I hope it will serve me well for the next 3-5 years. Thanks Apple, and please keep supporting the mini line for so long!
Bought this to replace my original iPad mini (2013), could not be happier. Excellent screen, quick processor, and smooth OS. Chose this over the pro simply because I wanted something portable in between my iPhone 7 Plus and MacBook Pro. No issues so far.
Normal iPads cramp up my hands after a few minutes. I have a first generation iPad Mini, but it's too old to run the current version of iOS so I don't even turn the wifi on anymore. This 5th generation iPad Mini is both new and old. The home button isn't haptic, which threw me off, but the processor and battery both exceed expectations. Reading books is comfortable on this device. Playing games is also comfortable. I'd imagine that most productivity tasks would be quite comfortable, but I use this device for entertainment.
If I need to do something heavy, I use my PC with the TR2920x. For basic tasks this device is absolutely perfect.
I've always been pretty negative toward Apple products, based on both personal experiences with the brand and the usual perception of poor customization/connectivity options. So imagine my frustration last week when I went shopping for a new Android tablet to use as a secondary computer/eBooks/gaming on the go, only to find out that Android tablets are pretty much garbage in 2019 with laughably outdated specs and withering support from Google. After searching and searching, I finally realized that iPad was the ONLY option with the exact price/performance ratio I was looking for so I swallowed my pride and ordered it. And now I'm glad that I put my prejudice aside, because it's an awesome piece of tech.
The screen on this thing is just gorgeous and worth the money alone. The high pixel density, TrueTone and small form factor make this the comfiest eBook reader I have ever used. The selection of apps and games is great, and I feel like there's a lot more "premium" options than you can find on Google Play. Battery life seems to live up to its promises, with mine only down to 58% with the screen active for about 7 hours. It also charges insanely fast. The lack of Android-level customization is real, but I can appreciate the whole "it just works" philosophy of iOS. Especially since my primary device is a Windows 10 PC on which something seems to stop working every other day. Very smooth, very polished UX that feels like a truly optimized tablet experience, and not just an oversized phone.
The only real complaint I have so far is the thing's sometimes unintuitive reliance on gestures and precise swipes. I shouldn't have to give the screen a massage every time I want to do a simple thing like view and close apps I'm not using. But overall, it has absolutely met my expectations. Hopefully Apple continues to develop the Mini line, because I can see it permanently becoming my go-to tablet.
Muy rápida. Tiene un grip muy bueno a pesar de ser más grande que un celular. Y sobre todo, se siente la potencia de un ordenador en tus manos para poder jugar juegos como Fortnite, Free Fire en alta calidad y a 60fps. Fuera del apartado de juegos, el iPad mini 5 responde muy bien en cosas multimedia, aunque cabe recalcar que su cámara de 8MP no ayuda mucho sabiendo que es la versión del 2019. Pero fuera de esto, funciona como debe y es súper rápida.
Sobre la duración de la batería, esta dura de entre 1 a 3 días como máximo si se la usa viendo vídeos unos 20 minutos por cada cierto tiempo. Pero jugando por obvias razones se acabará rápido. Ahora haciendo una comparación en juegos como Fortnite, la batería desde 100%, dura (gráficos bajos, 60fps).. casi una hora y media de juego intenso. En lo personal está muy bien considerando que este juego demanda mucho gráficamente.
En si, este iPad es una buena inversión para quiénes desean jugar juegos actuales moviles y sobre todo de manera casual y no intensiva. Puesto que en todo lo demás (multimedia, redes sociales, etc...) Posee un excelente rendimiento.. recomiendo este iPad "para aquellos que usan apps casuales, juegos casuales, y desean el iPad del año" Recordemos que a pesar de que otros modelos anteriores cumplen con las mismas características multimedias, solo por el hecho de ser versiones anteriores no cumplirán con el uso completo de todas las apps que vengan a partir del 2019 (Todo esto por motivos de actualizaciones).
iPad mini 2019 no es un capricho, es una inversión.
