Best iPad I’ve owned
By Elvin on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2019
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.

Disappointed with Amazon
By jm on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2020
I am not disappointed with the Mini 5; I like the additional ram over my Mini 2. I just want potential buyers to beware of my stupidity, or Amazon's deception. I checked with the Amazon Warehouse when wanting to purchase a new Ipad. It had a couple of Mini 5s available. They were marked used, and some were described with minor scratches, etc., but one was described as only a damaged box. The units were about 9% lower than the new ones, but a savings is a savings. My mistake was to think that this unit was marked "Used" because the box was damaged. Anyway, I bought this unit. When I got it, the box was damaged as described; however, from what I could tell the unit was in pristine cosmetic order. The charger and cable were included. When I started it up, I got the usual "Hello" in several languages. It looked like a great value. However, when I went into the "About" section, in "Limited Warranty," it gave an expiration date about eight months from my purchase date. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple about this, and no help there; Apple would honor only the original registration date. Then, I called Amazon for some kind of extension on the warranty as it was determined that this was a returned item. No help there either than telling me I could return the unit. My complaint and caveat is that for less than $30 more, I could have had a new Mini 5 with a one-year warranty. Instead, I have a used Mini 5 with only an 8-month warranty. Now, I was stupid, but I also feel that Amazon was deceptive, or negligent, in not making the reduced warranty clear. It is disappointing because I usually really appreciate Amazon and have many purchases to prove it.
