Whats Included

Q: Is this the mini 4 or the mini 5?

A: This is the mini 5, sometimes referred to as the iPad Mini (2019). If you decide to purchase, note that most iPad mini 4 cases won't work properly with this model, as the cutouts don't line up with the rear camera or the volume buttons. I just got this model recently and am pleased with it so far.

Q: Why is the 2019 Mini more expensive than the larger models. I’m looking at the 256 model

A: In reference to the 7th gen iPad, it’s a processor difference, the mini actually sports a faster more advanced processor than the 7th gen iPad.

Q: What does it mean when you select carrier as Wi-Fi? I don't want to buy it with any carrier, I just want it to connect it to the internet from my home or work.

A: You can connect to any WiFi that you select, you are not committed to any one

Q: Can an iPad mini with cellular be used like a cell phone with dialing capability

A: Yes. Yes it can.

Q: What is the actual size of unit ?

A: The actual size of the unit is Product HeightInfo 8 inches Product WidthInfo 5.3 inches Product DepthInfo 0.24 inches

Q: Does the ipad mini have built in GPS ?

A: Only the WiFi + Cellular iPad mini models have built in GPS/GNSS.

Q: Does this model also include the OS that allows for a USB file storage and transfer? I’m considering this as a gift - just bought the larger IPad for myself and this is a great feature. My friend is vision impaired and I’m debating on GB size.

A: I just bought this don't see anything with extra storage but have over 3weeks of music on it taking a little over 35 gigs. This thing has tons of room if you get the 256

Q: Is this att compatible?

A: This model does not have cellular capability. This is a WiFi only model.

Love it!
I originally purchased the larger iPad Air and returned that for this mini. I love the size, it's so much easier to hold and fits in a small bag or purse. I replaced a Samsung Tablet 4 with this, and there is a huge difference with speed, battery life, picture quality and more. I have switch my phone also from and Android to an iPhone, but I do miss some of the features androids have that Apple doesn't. You can't go back to a previous page as easily and you don't have the capability to add more storage for two examples. It would be great if they would someday combine all the features into one great tablet! I wanted the Gold color but it was out-of-stock so I got the Space Grey. They grey really is a pretty color. I've attached a picture, that I took with the Android, but it is a bit darker than it appears. One nice thing about purchasing this at Best Buy is that they price matched it from a different store that was $50. cheaper but they were out-of-stock at that store.

Best mini yet
This is my third mini and it’s the best yet. So much faster than my mini 4 with lots more storage. My only complaint is that Apple doesn’t make a case to protect the back but mini 4 case works fine. Although the camera is partially covered in mini 4 case, photos come out fine.

I love my iPads
The iPad mini is a great tablet but the battery power. This is not the case with the new iPad mini. This iPad is powerful, fast, and supports the Apple Pencil. This is my third iPad mini my second iPad is ten years old it still work but the battery is bad have to keep it plugged in all the time it’s my grand baby’s now. My new one is the battery power is great it last 10 hours. If you have been waiting to upgrade your iPad mini, this is the upgrade you've been waiting for.
