It's a 4 year old Ipad

Lukecage75 . 2 months ago

This is a complete rip-off. This is a four year old Ipad, and they are charging the same price for the new mode. The Ipad mini 7 you might as well just buy from apple For $499.00

One issue with service.

Sandy . 3 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I love my new ipad mini. My only concern is that i am unable to send/receive imessages/facetime. I signed up to pay for unlimited talk/text and as of now I am finding out that I cannot do these things I am paying for? I hope Verizon can resolve this issue because I am paying a lot of money for my services that I am not receiving. Is frustrating but my internet runs good 👍

My Go-To ipad

Kandye H . 4 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

The iPad mini is the perfect size when you’re on the go, big enough to actually get things done and small enough to carry with you. I use it for my business, journaling, coloring and schoolwork. I absolutely love the size and functionality.

Size doesn’t matter

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I’ve had five iPads over the past fourteen years. This is the first small one. I was hesitant to step down in size. I am surprised at how much easier holding and positioning is. I am a farmer and I find the iPad mini fits well in the pockets of my chore coat and overalls. I’m glad I dropped down to the smaller size. I use cell and WiFi.
