Apple iPad mini (2019) - User Reviews

  • The mini 5 is a huge upgrade, performance-wise, over the mini 4. The display is better, with true tone. Pencil support is also nice, if you have a use case for this (I do, and I already had a pencil that I got back in 2016 with the ipad pro 9.7). Don't hold your breath for the next ipad mini. The wait between mini 4 and mini 5 was 3.5 years.

  • Got this Beast Recently. Amazing Pubg gaming Experience.Movies and watching is really good. A12 chip is so good and worth the upgrade for old users. Its my second ipad after Air 2. Charging is fast as well. Best Tablet ever. Using this more than my phone. Size is the best selling point. I'm an android user but this one got me hooked with great experience. Enjoying it and would highly recommend and its better on wallet than crazy expensive latest Iphone11 series.

  • My Ipad Mini 4 still can support IOS 13.1 Waiting next generation ipad mini, not much upgrade after 4 years.

  • Apple should make its ipad mini screen bezel less in their upcoming ipad mini device so that we could get a bigger display within its existing dimension.

  • please play PUBGM with setting Smooth -> Extreme , because if you used HDR -> Extreme make the FPS drop on late game

  • any recommendation of HUB or Adapter for iPad Mini ? i want to use lightning to USB A, SD Card, etc

  • Please I have a question for PUBG players on this device, does any one have the ability to enable hdr + extreme FPS mode on their iPad mini 5? Mine’s maxed at Ultra, which is weird cuz extreme was available in v0.13.5..

  • It depends what you’re doing with it. If it almost never leaves your home, then I would just get WiFi. If you are going to take it out of your house often and you want to access the internet in a place where there isn’t necessarily WiFi (like camping) then the WiFi + LTE is a good option if you’re willing to pay for it.

  • Wi-Fi + Cellular

  • which one is better, just wifi or wifi+cellular? i have my phone on me always and it served me well on gps/maps/etc

  • Download iOS ninja in iPad mini and u can download what’s app from there and u can use what’s app also

  • thanks a lot for the info

  • iPad mini 5 can runs Instagram. However for WhatsApp, you may use whatsapp web by using safari with open desktop mode so that you can use WhatsApp.

  • 33k? From where exactly?

  • Yeah, A12 is just crazy!

  • can u tell me whatsapp & instagram on runs ipad mini 2019 ???? i heard it doesnt

  • So I got Mini 5 after the 6th gen iPad. The only downside is the size if you’re considered about that. Otherwise A12 is pretty good. I upgraded both of my devices to iPad OS beta 4. And it’s cool as ever. Got mine for 33k.

  • imo, ipad mini 5

  • Not enough RAM in this tablet. My 8 Fantasy Premier League Chrome Tabs will keep refreshing for sure.

  • It's just perfect, gaming, movies. i sure will buy it.

  • I basically just use my iPad mini to RDP back to the office computer and do my work remotely. Haven’t tried doing so with keyboard and mouse, but just using my fingers r not that complicated and I’m able to finish quick tasks efficiently. But I understand what you mean, office work wise, surface might be a better choice. I was tempted to get the surface book 2 coz it can go slate mode, but considering it’s a 13.3” that’s too big for me (I used to own the iPad Pro 12.9 and wasn’t be able to get used to)

  • Get an iPad mini especially after iOS 13 iPad lot better than crappy Microsoft unreliable surface.

  • gaming, reading, movies, my choice i pad mini for office purpose my choice surface go

  • They are not in the same ball park of price point for one and are completely different. If you are looking for something to do mostly pleasure use with I recommend and own an ipad mini for that. If you are looking for something for work plus some pleasure use, nothing beats the Surface w/ Microsoft Office. I do find that the surface is limited for some apps that I have been looking for, so if you have some specific applications in mind i would research if you can get them for the device you are looking for.

  • I got this little beast and it always keeping me rocking on my games, i am not one of apple lovers but on my experienced on android tablet this is better than them(no lag/great hd screen).

  • iPad Mini 5 or Microsoft Surface Go?

  • You can buy the cellular version to text someone if your mobile carrier supports it, or you can use iMessage

  • Hey does the messaging system can be used here already? I can text and send it to someone?

  • Yes.. up to 2TB. But i rather backup to iTunes. Or keep at free 5GB enough, just turn off icloud backup for photo / media apps. And backup those files to NAS or other cheaper online options.

  • can you buy extra memory? more than 64 GB from icloud?

  • it is not made for taking photos. if you like better camera better buy the high end one or rather buy the iphone. also they did not make it fast charger to prolong the battery's life in long run. because fast charging damages battery in long run.

  • set region to egypt, ull get facetime, promise.

  • No. Apple gave birth to the mouse and now kills it.

  • No facetime got mine from noon muqy2ae/a model but try to update maybe frome uae version 🤓

  • Pros: -A12 Bionic Chip blows the competition away -Battery life is good enough for any average user -Screen is great -Ram is great so far (from multitasking tests) Cons: -iOS 12 is holding the device from doing greater productivity -Camera is not great (But who uses an iPad for it's camera) So far, it holds up way way better than any of the competing tablets for the price segment. i am just hoping for a great OS update that would quite possibly replace my bulky and heavy laptop.

  • The iPad mini 2019 is the latest iteration for the mini lineup of iPads. The device sports the most powerful chipset found on a mobile device the A12 Bionic Chip, A great 2048x1536 retina display, a 5124 mAh battery that would last all day in moderate or heavy usage. All this for (in my opinion) a great price of $399. But specs don't say everything. The iPad mini is great for what it does. In fact, it does it in an amazingly flawless way. But you can't shake the feeling that the device could do way better. The A12 Bionic chip could do more than what is thrown at it by the iOS Operating System. We are living in an age where mobile devices (such as tablets) could possibly replace your laptops, given it's processing power. But unfortunately, you are barred from getting this level of productivity due to OS constraints. My final verdict for this is that the iPad mini is great, it is amazingly great. But it can do way better. And rumors of the iOS 13 looks to be very promising. Would highly suggest to buy this tablet over any android tablet of the same price segment.

  • speakers are fairly loud

  • It was okay, not great but fair enough. Not loud enough as well.

  • can anyone confirm this model with facetime calling--- MUQW2AB/A

  • any one please can answer my Q , how is the speakers does it sound loud and good ?!

  • Hi, I have purchased one recently, the wifi plus cellular one. Highly satisfied with the tab till now. There is no match as far as performance is concerned.

  • They need fast charging n better cameras!

  • I think it's kind of weird that they managed to make this more powerful than the regular iPad that came a year before. I still feel like Android tablets, at their best, are better. But if you are looking for a good small tablet, this is probably the best choice.

  • camera

  • I love this ipad more than my phone.. best investment on a gadget ever..great for media as well as gaming..and it’s affordable too.

  • Power but affordable device! Loved it!

  • this ipad is cheaper than android flagship. how come???

  • how long it takes to charge this ipad?

  • Things you may want to consider cellular. 1. Can that portable router last 10 hrs? 2. iPad mini CAN be the portable router, providing internet for other wifi enabled devices you have. And it last very long. 3. 1 less item to charge and maintain. 4. Wifi Models do not have GPS. (No Maps, No Pokemon Go) etc etc. All in all, best to always go for cellular version. It pays off long term.

  • Not sure about Flipkart, but Amazon India is selling all the 4 variants, it seems. Not interested in the SIM model as it seems to be overpriced. For me the WiFi 64 GB one is perfect. Will buy shortly.

  • Hi guys, I want to get one simple clarification. The WiFi plus cellular version of the ipad mini 5, which Apple is selling at a Rs 11000.00 premium in India (or, at $130 extra in USA), are they meant for calling or simply cellular data? If only for data, it is not worth paying the extra amount, I feel. The standalone WiFi version should be sufficient, if one carries a portable router. What do you think?

  • It does

  • is it possible to attach a mouse? we are in 2019

  • Phone calls no.

  • Is it possible to do calls?

  • Yes it does

  • Available in flipkart for 35k

  • YEAH, but only in Internet buying :D

  • Is this ipad support apple pay?

  • Guys, any idea when this tab is scheduled to be released in India? I am not getting any confirmation anywhere in the web. I understand that if the greedy Apple folks can price it properly they have a champion in their hand. They should remember the failed SE story in India. For me, the correct price band will be 32-33K for the base non SIM model.

  • It's stated at 10 hours, but you can go through a few days with moderate use. It doesn't support fast charging

  • How long is the battery life for this ipad? How long it takes to charge the battery? Does it support fast charging?

  • Just buy ipad mini 5. Is the best bang for your buck

  • Do you know that SD card is slower than internal storage? Just buy 256 GB model.

  • This is awesome iPad by Apple because recently i gifted to my sister

  • Even if ipad mini doesn't have sd card slot, performance can't not be compared with other tablets. I wish you to compare with other stuff than comment again. users already know ipad mini is the most competitive stuff in tablet market area.

  • I hate because not have sd card slot, better to buy other tablet.

  • That guy is an idiot.. Has no clue wats he's talking about.. Maybe watched some "speed tests" where they open and close apps and says oh sd845 is better... Even app and game developers know that A12 and A12x are desktop lvl stuff, the closest android chip to it is the sd855, anything else doesn't even come close.. Sd855 only matches in processor, gpu A12 beats it, A12x is on a league of its own.. Any body that can't admit that is in desperate self denial and just wants to feel better about droid chips.. I'm not saying they r bad chips, but truth b told, raw power the apple chips r still ahead of their competition..although i see Qualcomm beating them soon.. But for right now, A12 nd A12x r king.. Sd855 is also king in its own rights.. But a12 family jst more powerful.

  • You go for iPad mini 5. Ill buy too here in KSA 😍

  • When it's gonna be an available in India? I can't wait bz I had iPad mini 2 n I'm missing a lot....should I buy iPhone XR or iPad mini 5?

  • I think the SE2 and a cheaper >6.5" iphone is up next.

  • Now if only they can do the same with the SE...

  • You look at tablet or look at the apps inside the tablet? Or for instance, you buy a flagship RTX 2080 gpu for your pc.. do you complain your 4k display looks dated? - Same old squarish screen.. with some bezels. Not for me! In fact, there's still appeal for iPhone 8 design.. or iPhone SE. If they beef up the processor, and screen quality.

  • This is the perfect iPad mini - That size - That screen - The screen aspect ratio - A12 - Latest iOS - Pen Support!!!! - Another 5 years top range performance 100%

  • Perfection!!! That size, screen, screen aspect ratio, A12, battery life.... and pen support?? Thank you Apple!!!!

  • A12! Thank you apple

  • Finally. Thank you Apple. :-)

  • x2

  • still can't confirm the ram for now ?

  • can someone explain this Electronic SIM card (eSIM) on ipad?

  • The best apple product must i buy

  • Hope ipad mini 5 will be available to all stores soon. I will definitely buy one.

  • It’s not ram or size..why the heck you want to have screen which looks like it’s from 2012 ??????? Seriously...

  • Im a big fan of 7inch tablet

  • You gotta take note of the sizes of these tablets. The Mini is meant to be a high-end compact tablet; the S5e a budget version of the S5. So the Mini's battery is actually perfect for it's size Camera (photo and video), display and design-wise you're quite right. Although, the Mini has a higher ppi density (small screen) One important point: With the S5e having larger area but also thinner, it might be more fragile compared to the Mini (very important, handle with care). I'm guessing the thinness was to experiment on quad speakers, which explains the lack of 3.5 mm jack

  • LEARN before you judge... I prefer android in general. (check how many android devices I have in my loved devices compared to how many iOS devices!? an apple fan as you CLAIM wouldn't even add android smartphones! and remember it's preofficial information. Until it's confirmed GSMarena placed 2GB ram as a placeholder until the REAL amount of RAM is revealed.

  • I am actually an Android user. but I love the iPad because it's the best tablet offerable. SHOW ME AN ANDROID TABLET with the Kirin 980, SD845 or 855 RIGHT NOW. and I'll get that over the iPad mini. OH right....................... THE STRONGEST tablet running android has only the S835. scram.

  • Will this be able to make normal calls we do on iPhone?

  • The days when we had the choice between four storage options. Now we have two options to choose from, and one of them is too small really, therefore we really have to go with the other. And no expandable memory.

  • Besides its chip, the new iPad mini sucks. Pathetic display, camera, battery and an outdated design. The Galaxy Tab S5e takes the iPad mini in terms of display, camera, battery and design.

  • 3GB of RAM onboard :)

  • really

  • Look at those bezels. This is the king of bezel reigned in 2012

  • That's not how IOS works, 2 GB is enough for it

  • Is it defeated in endurance, single core performance? Most Android just get slow after few months or two years at Max. Apps are not optimized nicely for androids as well

  • calling someone a kid like you aint talking like a kid as well, why are you talking about processors that are not on an iPad or a tablet? s2pdaz

  • Who is talking about tablets kid? Sorry i dont worship apple or samsung or some other i look for test results, specs and its price. A12 has been defeated. Deal with it. And even with %25 more pixels, s855 defeated it, the kirin also. Now cry somewhere else.

  • I hope its 3 or 4 gb ram. 2 gb ram would be really bad. No matter what fanbois say, browser wont work well with just 2 gb since many sites are bloated now witg heavy graphics

  • At least 4 or it will lagg after first software update.

  • I think you're from another broken universe sir.. Around here, the closest to d A12 is sd855, they're almost equal, but A12 is has an edge.. Kirin, no way in hell.. Sd845..please.. That's 2 loads of bs mixed into 1 statement.. I have a one plus 6 and an IPhone XS, and sd845 is no slouche don't get me wrong, but don't come here with that bs story that sd845 is better than a12.. U'r either delusional or in denial if u really believe dat bs

  • need USB type-c already!

  • lol really? keep dreaming there is no single android tablet who use sd 845 or 855 the most highend is samsung tab with sd835 with price $650 and even then google already give up tablet market lol

  • I don't think 2GB RAM is confirmed yet. There is some speculation that it could be 3GB(which would make more sense).

  • Wow! 3.5mm headphone jack.

  • iPad Mini 4 has 2014 chipset, iPad Mini 5 has 2018 chipset. Talk about a big improvement.

  • Only con is the big bezels. I really love the pencil compatibility. Only reason to buy it for me. If it fits my pocket.

  • Apple have no new idea ?? Now 2019 ...so sad tim cook...are u cooking rite now?

  • LCD screen, masive bezels. Yeah great for 2011

  • finally :) amazing specs with proved design

  • Yeah even the iPhone SE with a A12 chip would do! D:

  • Cheap Fortnite device? O3O

  • still so ugly old fashion????

  • Been waiting for this for so looonnnggg. I will definitely have one!

  • I have the iPad 2018 bought 3 weeks ago:( Is good I can return it in 30 days time. I will get the iPad Mini 5. They made it so good. A12 Bionic instead of A10 ( I thought initially it would be A11 bionic). Laminated display (far better than non-laminated one on the 2018 iPad). Storage increase from 32gb to 64gb for base model. They kept the 2Gb ram, but is not an issue if you are using 1 app/game at a time. And all for just 100€ increase over the 2018 iPad price. I just wish that Apple will make a budget friendly iPhone. But, probably they will not, because they are to greedy and the quantity of iPhones sold is much higher than iPads. So, more profit.

  • I badly need this!! Perfect for Mobile Legend. :) i have the Ipad 2018 but i use it for Netflex only. can't wait to have this.

  • Whats makes me angry is that they CAN make a $399 IPAD Mini , byut they never give us a $399 Iphone.... Just this same hardware with 6-7 inch monitor and LTE+Calling

  • because simply there are ZERO Android Tablets with Snapdragon 845 or 855 ... The best one in the market is Samsung Tab S4 with 835 and for $750 This one is faster for almost 2/3 the price

  • hopefully this isn't the final spec. hopefully the RAM will be 3GB, not 2GB as written.

  • better performance for how long ?

  • LOL no they haven't.

  • U cant make jailbreak so keep this shit, apple

  • Kirin 980, Snapdragon 855 even Snapdragon 845 all showed better performance then a12. Even with %25 more pixels. (3.3b on xs max, 4.3b on s10+ for example). So i cant understand why you people so into a12. Maybe you cant really understand comparinig an ios device to an android but you can at least watch some compairing video so you can at least have an opinion. I know you apple lovers want to show pe how rich youre and how you can afford these devices while others cant but if you are real fan you should give apple a lesson. I only write this because of your irritating comment

  • Yeah good luck with 2 gb ram. Do you really think a12 will work on its best with 2gb ram? I dont think people want this device. This is a failure. Noone will buy this except apple fans

  • whats with the 2012 design..??

  • 2GB of RAM in 2019.... Come on Apple stop being cheap.

  • you gotta be kidding me. the pro 10.5 uses A10X. you're talking A12 here! the mini 5 wins easy walk!

  • NEED! THAT!!!!!!!!!11111111111 Come to Mama iPad mini 5!

  • Even the normal ipad 9.7" with pencil support is better and cheaper, this is so weird pricing structure

  • Anything under %82 screen body ratio looks old to me.

  • "70.6% screen-to-body ratio" and 2 gb of ram in 2019 ? pathetic failure, hard pass.

  • Really Apple?!! For that money you can get a used ipad pro 10.5. Which has a bigger screen and way more gpu power.
