iPad mini Every inch an iPad.
A beautiful display, powerful A5 chip, FaceTime HD camera, iSight camera with 1080p HD video recording, ultrafast wireless, and over 275,000 apps ready to download from the App Store. iPad mini is an iPad in every way, shape, and slightly smaller form.
Perfectly sized LED-backlit display.
iPad mini makes one thing clear: Its 7.9-inch display more than measures up to the complete iPad experience. View web pages in Safari. See where you are and what's around you using Maps. Flick through your photos and watch videos in vivid detail. And wave hello to the family on a FaceTime call. The iPad mini display uses the same LED backlight technology as iPad to give you plenty of pop per square inch. And it's perfectly sized to work with hundreds of thousands of apps made for iPad.
Thin and light design.
iPad mini has everything that makes an iPad an iPad, but it's a fraction of the size. At just 7.2 millimeters, it's pencil thin and unbelievably light. You can easily hold it in your palm. And stash it in your smallest bag without a second thought, so it's always close at hand.
Incredible performance Mini is mighty.
Powerful A5 chip.
iPad is known for its fast, fluid performance, and iPad mini doesnt disappoint. It features the powerful and power-efficient A5 chip, which makes everything you do feel smooth and natural. From the little things like switching from app to app and swiping from page to page, to the big things like editing photos, watching movies, and playing games.
10-hour battery life.
iPad mini wouldnt be an iPad without incredible battery life. Even with so much performance packed into such a small space, it still lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge. So you can read, watch, play, write, and create whatever you want, as long as you want.
FaceTime and iSight cameras With two built-in cameras, every side is its good side.
Wave hello with FaceTime video calling.
With FaceTime built into iPad mini, you can make a video call over Wi-Fi or cellular. The front-facing FaceTime HD camera gives everyone a great view of you, while the iSight camera on the back lets you show others what you're seeing. So even when you're out and about, your friends and family are never out of the loop. You can hear every laugh and see every smile. And with the 7.9-inch display, you've got more than enough screen to take in the whole scene. You can also use the front-facing camera for taking self-portraits or recording 720p HD video.
Record HD video in full 1080p.
An impromptu performance on the subway, the winning shot at your daughter's soccer game, an awesome 360-degree view from the top of the mountain - the iSight camera on iPad mini lets you capture all these unpredictable, beautiful, spectacular moments. In 1080p HD, no less. The spacious iPad mini display gives you a great view of whatever you're filming. And with automatic video stabilization, your recording is free of bumps and shakes. So your videos are instantly ready to share.
Shoot 5-megapixel still images.
The 5-megapixel iSight camera features a backside illumination sensor that captures great-looking pictures whether by sunlight or candlelight. When you shoot photos, the big, beautiful iPad mini display becomes a big, beautiful viewfinder - giving you plenty of room to compose your shot. Autofocus, tap to focus, and tap to set exposure functions mean every photo you take instantly becomes frameworthy. And with built-in face detection that automatically balances focus and exposure across up to 10 faces, there's more room for more grins. So everyone look at iPad mini and say "Cheese."
Ultrafast wireless Fast connections. The world over.
Advanced Wi-Fi technology. Built in.
iPad mini features advanced Wi-Fi that's up to twice as fast as any previous-generation iPad. With dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n Wi-Fi and support for channel bonding, download speeds can reach up to 150 Mbps. Translation: The things you do every day may start to feel a whole lot faster.
Next-generation cellular connectivity - up to LTE.
If you want to connect to the Internet even when you dont have access to Wi-Fi, choose iPad mini with Wi-Fi + Cellular. It can make ultrafast cellular network connections around the world - including LTE7 and other advanced wireless networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA. So you can download content, stream video, and browse the web at amazing speeds - without a contract or long-term commitment.
Siri. Your intelligent assistant.
Siri is the intelligent assistant that helps you get things done, just by asking. Talk to Siri as you would to a person: Ask "Do I need an umbrella?" or "Did the Giants win last night?" or "What time is the barbecue on Sunday?" Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean. It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, Siri provides you with the information you need.
The world's most advanced mobile operating system.
At the core of every iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch is iOS. It includes all the built-in apps you use every day and all the intuitive technology - like Multi-Touch and Siri - that makes iPad mini so advanced. With every free iOS update comes even more capability for your devices. You'll find the latest version, iOS 6, already installed on iPad mini. So right out of the box, you get more than 200 new features to make the things you do every day even better.
Your content. On all your devices.
iCloud is built right into iPad mini. Just turn it on and you'll have instant access to all the things you need, whether you're on your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.9 New features in iOS 6 let you do even more with iCloud. Share the photos you want with the people you choose using Shared Photo Streams. Locate, lock, and recover your misplaced iPad mini easier than ever. Browse a web page on one device and pick up where you left off on another device using iCloud Tabs. And that's just for starters.
AirPlay Play it on your iPad mini. Watch it on your HDTV.

This ipad is amazing. I prefer this size ipad than the other larger ones. It is easy to hold, fun to play with, and a good price for what you are getting. The metal backing is beautiful, very similar to an iPhone 5 back panel. I used next day shipping after placing an order around 7 P.M and it arrived the next day at 10 A.M. I couldn't be anymore pleased!
The Mini is large enough and light enough to be comfortable for reading online books and magazines. I would have liked a retina display but not if it meant a heavier tablet. If you already have an iPad and can afford to have a separate reader, the Mini is ideal for you. If you are looking for a lighter laptop substitute, stick to the iPad.

Best form factor for a tablet, 2012-11-24
By S. Chapman
I have owned numerous tablets in the past from the Nexus 7, iPad 3rd Gen and 2nd Gen, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the original Galaxy Tab 7". The iPad Mini is by far the most comfortable tablet I have ever held. There are numerous reviews abound online that confirm this. I couldn't be happier about my purchase.
The form factor of this device is about as perfect as could be given today's technology. There isn't a product on the market that I have owned or tried that comes close. The iPad Mini is comfortable enough to hold with one hand for extended use but large enough so that iPad apps work without a hitch 99% of the time. There isn't another ecosystem that comes close to the offering that iOS offers for the iPad.
Obviously, the largest drawback is the lack of the Retina display and the aging A5 processor, but I think this form factor makes up for it. The internals and the lower res screen will likely be upgraded next year, and I will have no problem upgrading from thi...

iPad Mini is almost perfect., 2012-11-27
By Terry Hatmaker
I own the iPad 1, 3 and now the Mini. I can say without a shadow of doubt, I like the mini the best. It is the best form factor and I now feel more comfortable using it everywhere. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 4 stars is the display. It if was a Retina display I would give it 10 stars. Now, don't get me wrong, the display is fine. It took me a couple of hours to get use to the non-retina display, but it was not hard. Apple has a winner with the mini. I use to use my Kindle as my ereader of choice, but now I have more choice than ever with the mini. I can use iBooks, Kindle or Nook. It is easy to hold like the Kindle and the screen gives you the ability to use night reading mode.
If you are thinking about an iPad and are worried that the iPad mini is not "good enough" because of the screen, think again! I you want a smaller form factor tablet, forget Android! The iPad mini is the one to get. Now let's see how Samsung copies Apple now…

Perfect size and weight for reading or business meetings, 2012-11-30
By Paul
The mini is the perfect size and weight. I have an iPad 2 which seems positively bulky compared to this. For holding in your hand, the mini can't be beat. I also have a Nook Color and that feels incredibly heavy and tiring by comparison. Reading on a pad has never been easier. The mini also fits inside my Levenger Circa junior-sized notebook so that now I only need to carry one item to meetings. Although smaller, the screen still provides enough reading space to be of utility and it's very clear with seemingly more detail, probably because the same pixelation in a smaller area produces a slightly sharper image density. I have also found the mini to be noticeably faster on the internet than the iPad 2. For daily use, I think it's the best iPad yet. I suppose if you use one heavily for video, or for producing documents, the larger-sized iPads would work better, but for my purposes this one is superb.

Better than when bought at Apple Store Online, 2012-12-01
By Harlen Cruz
I was looking forward to getting an iPad as soon as possible and I had bought on from Apple and it was to arrive in 3 weeks, which was insane. I decided to buy it here and ended up getting it in 4 Days. I will look forward to buy here again!

Smitten with iPad Mini, 2012-12-04
By Mark LaPierre
I was concerned when the device came out that it would be impossible to type with any speed. So I checked it in the store once or twice and found that, with adjustments, I could type well, if not at full speed. I have always loved the iPad, but wished it was easier to carry around. So I went ahead and got it for my birthday, and I'm very happy I did. It's beautiful, SO LIGHT, fits in pockets, and is highly functional. It's really hard to put it down!
