Apple iPad mini Wi-Fi - User Reviews

  • how to jailbreak?

  • You must Jailbreak it. With all of the right tweaks this things runs great. Apple machines are very powerful but they limit your ability to modify the software. Open that up and you’re Winning. No need to buy a new machine I have all the features plus more advanced abilities. Split screen, lower brightness, dark mode, night shift ... the list goes on.

  • Because it comes with ios 7 you have to update it too 8.4.1 to be able to update it too 9.3.5 obviously

  • why is it that very few of you can't write a legible sentence. do you not proof-read what you typed before posting it? do you not know correct sentence structure. it is almost comical to try and read some of these comments. i don't know, maybe english isn't your first language. if that's the case then i can understand but if not then people need to go back to school. lol not trying to make fun of anyone i know my spelling isn't all that great. i was just pointing out that it's hard to read some comments, actually a lot of the comments.

  • @Nike.486DX You wrote: "Just traded my iPad Mini 3 (A7 64bti, Retina, Touch ID, iOS 12.1.4) for this thing, and believe it or not it actually feels faster, just installed iOS 8.4.1 on it and now it is actually usable(writing this post on my Mini 1), just installed 25 differ..." How do you install iOS 8.4.1 since the latest version is iOS 9.3.5? Than you :-)

  • why you are not permitting YOUTUBE to pursue in your last version(9.3)?

  • Just traded my iPad Mini 3 (A7 64bti, Retina, Touch ID, iOS 12.1.4) for this thing, and believe it or not it actually feels faster, just installed iOS 8.4.1 on it and now it is actually usable(writing this post on my Mini 1), just installed 25 different apps on it and synced it with iCloud, it is not all that great but at least it is 25-40% faster than my iPad Mini 3 was on iOS 12.1.4

  • i have this Ipad mini; can be usable IF only if u REset it 100% install only 1 or two apps and use web window/apps for everything else. then it works. not reccomended lol

  • Too old to be really useful nowadays. Was decent in 2012-2015

  • Could I download garageband.If not which one is the minimum Model? Thankyou

  • No its not

  • Is this good for games such as Mobile Legends/ROS?

  • Really good iPad for Jailbreak and useful..

  • The ipad is pretty impressive as it is old as hell and can still run lets say GTA SA pretty well. Minecraft can be played smoothly. Hd videos can be watched on youtube. But there are hell a lot of crashes overall (lets say on safari) . For a 6 year old ipad it is doing pretty good but for 2018 I do not recommend it. Thanks.

  • My iPad an earlier model always crushes when playing games even when I upgraded to the highest iso a black. What a lousy pad.

  • this tablet super slow. crashes when playing candy crush and cant even update to ios 10 0/10

  • Mine is updated to IOS 9.3.5 and plays 90% of the apps I have on it.

  • mine it's not used that much, even i never update it from ios 6.. the size and quality build are the top, even on 2017 this device should be very usable but slow and prone to app crash due to 512ram.

  • it depends on the cost of service, i would find a ipad 2 or another used ipad mini, but first checking the battery condition. I would not go for another brand tablet, once are used with ipad there's not way out :)

  • If you go for new it is good for you bcoz the hard of ipad mini is old ....

  • Hello everybody.I need your opinion.My ipad's mini sreen just crashed from a fall and i am in a dilemma.Should i fix it or with the same money buy another tablet (lenovo,huaweii etc.)? Thanks for reaiding,i am waiting your opinions...

  • Would that be You guys readers thinking that I'm crazy iPad mini..bcz I got iPad mini 1,2,3,4 But all are wif excepting mini 1 with cellular..I'm happy to get them any thing !,anywhere,,any time I want at same time,,sometimes put it in the car,,Great of Size,durable and hi end,,I prefer to comparison all of them as I saw in utube lol..Thanks apple.. My iPhone 7+ Might be looking,using better that iP8 ,if it dunt have physical button.Hopefully not another convenient thing as 3.5 jack >>+ physical home button is still there. An iPad mini is very nice on these day so please put fwd development ..Thanks. Sir

  • Since this ipad mini 1 is same as the oldest ipad 2, don't expect much for the performance because inside that, you only have dual core 1 Ghz that's very old and very slow for 2017, and 512MB RAM which not sustainable for running newer iOS since newer iOS will consume more RAM

  • Yes, since it has lightning port, you can use otg 2 in 1 like the expensive one or the cheapest one The expensive one like sand**k will transfer file faster than the cheapest one in the market since the flash nand quality is different For apps you can find at the app store there are so many, for how to use it? Please read from google there are many tutorial how to use otg with apple

  • The answer is NO WAY iOS 9.3.5 is the last that supports Processor A5 chip Yes A5, no matter how big is RAM, device that use A5 chip including A5X is not supported iOS 10 and later And please don't double post for this usual question

  • can i connect pen drive to my ipad mini with the help of otg

  • very weak wi fi antena,home button not steady

  • It isn't getting the update to iOS 10. Only the iPad Mini 2 and up, iPad 4th gen and up, iPhone 5 and up, and the iPod Touch 6th gen will get/ have gotten the update.

  • To an extent yes, you have to purchase Apple's Lighting to USB Photo adapter. It's alot more limited than Android is for what devices are supported for OTG.

  • this ipad mini wifi very slow this samsung j7 very fast happy

  • Any day is updated iPad mini wifi to iOS system 10

  • Can it support Otg

  • Agree with u.

  • Best iPad ever. Super Battery life. Awesome Cameras. Splendid gaming experience.

  • this ipad mini wifi is very bad

  • Here is a link which explains how to speed up iOS 10 (and earlier versions)

  • It's a good iPad

  • Every update make products sluggish so new ones can be sold every year.

  • Here is how: I might also do it because I am lagging BADDDDD!!!

  • My ipad mini is so slowwww. I have ios 9.3.5. LAgs on everything. I cant do much. PLaying simple games lags.

  • yup ipad mini is better coz im using tab 3..it becomes so slow after a year

  • The best tablet for this euros .i have 4 years and is very fast but if you download many apps is have little lag

  • My best tablet i have ever owned,still rocks on ios 9.3.1 without lag only load some apps slow but sadly it doesnt support on ios 10 beta

  • No use.it doesn't Hv sim option.

  • Had my ipad for 4 years now with latest update (9.3.2) And still works fine imessage and face time both work

  • cost s high

  • Face time and I massage? Is it works #apple #ipad

  • I Need HELP With Imessage and facetime not working. On 9.2.1 IOS everytime I try to sign in with my apple id to use facetime or imessage It keeps showing * an error has ocurred, please try it again later * I done everything already to get it to work but it seems im running our of options. What can I do to Actually fixed this issue?

  • Yes..I knew that it will give more lagging performance of I upgrade it to iOS 9... So I didn't do it.. Lol

  • Yes,it would be fine.im using it :-)

  • what is the best tablet? ipad mini wifi cellular or samsung tab 3 8.0 16gb with sim slot, ty

  • you can't

  • Wifi on original mini totally sucks. I can have mini on top of my wifi and it still can't find network or connection.

  • Anyone downgraded from the iOS 9 to iOS 7 iPad mini? Need help to do it..

  • i have an ipad mini like yours dont go back, I dont think you can, but mine lags at times too but i have found that it does this when there are too many redirects. like goung from facebook app to a shared link to another advertised link, etc. I get some apps like pixilmater that force close as well but I think that is when Im asking the app to do and save too much stuff at once. Also there seems to be some lag within google cgrome but i think that is the redirect as well. try different things, like backing up your data to icloud or itunes and resetting your ipad. also apple support forums has helpful people more than willing to help with answers, you just have to sort through the stuff on their because even though you go to ipad and ios support its all mixed in with mac stuff. good luck!

  • Yes

  • Ios 9.2 is ok now for ipad mini wifi??

  • help !! I upgraded to iOS 9 recently without knowing that it will laag... iPad mini fully doesn't run ios9 .. as it has only 512mb of RAM it laags & my iPad mini now is slow... anyway I can get old iOS 8 ??

  • There is a version of Microsoft Office available for iOS, it saves data to OneDrive if you have internet.

  • Open the app store, click the search bar on the upper right corner then type the name of the app you're looking for. Then install. Personally, i don't use microsoft office versions because i'm still using ios7. If you're like me, then you can use compatible apps that do the same (Polaris, WPS, etc)

  • to Anonymous: can i download or install a microsoft word and microsoft powerpoint2007 with it? HOW?... coz i wanna use it with my report....plss reply"...

  • ios 9 does not open game center and hangs alot. anybody experience the same problem?

  • Yes I do the same problem

  • Anyone else experiencing low audio output on speakers and earphones? I noticed it on ios 8.4. I need to pause and play it again to make it the way it was and after some time it will be low again. Also, anyone else feels they're unit is slow/sluggish/lagging on 8.4? Apps also crashes. Any tips??

  • No, it is really fast, stop saying sh

  • Nope you can't. Not with this model. However, Apple always has a "cellular" variant to their iPad model, so you can ask for any model with cellular. Hope this helped ;D

  • better get the ipad mini 2, 500mb of ram and the outdated a5 is kinda slow together.

  • It is the worst ipad" ipad 1 better it sucks like its all slow i bought it yesterday bullshit yes. Ifone 3g is way more better also cause it has phone

  • I have plan to buy Ipad mini wifi+cellular.Please anyone tell me can we call with this Ipad?

  • Apple iPad cannot make or receive phone calls and text messages whether it is WIFI only or WIFI + cellular. You can only make/receive phone calls and text messages through Facetime and iMessage (which is for Apple to Apple devices only and requires internet connection). The purpose of having cellular is for the sim card slot for your iPad to connect to internet if no wifi connection is available. Don't confuse yourselves

  • you can download messenger apps like WeChat, viber, WhatsApp to your iPad even if it's not jailbroken. You just have to search in safari (ex. WhatsApp iOS) then click the result from itunes, after you click that link, the window to download it will come up :)

  • To be able to download WhatsApp on your iPad, it needs to be Jailbroken (http://www.iphonehacks.com/jailbreak) Then in Cydia, search for the following tweak: Whatspad Once you install it, simply go to the App Store and search WhatsApp. Good luck!

  • correction to your comment. it should be "just a correction". you're welcome :)

  • just an correction to your comments apple iPad mini WIFI means its only an WIFI version which it doesnt have an sim card slot for data connection if it has a sim card slot it would be apple iPad mini + cellular

  • How can I download whatsapp on my ipad?

  • Two questions: 1. How to install Whatsapp on iPAD mini (wifi only) 2. How to make phone calls in India with iPAD mini (wifi only) ================================================­=========== Answer:2. download skype or any application that has call features. Ipad WIFI & WIFI + cellular don't have default factory dial-pad since it is an Ipad and not Iphone. Hope this helps.

  • Clarifying this one, wifi + cellular; it is still a tab, its called cellular because if there's no wifi hotspot you can use your sim card a data mobile connection. Ipad is not a phone, its a tab with mobile data connection that is why it called WIFI + CELLULAR and not cellular phone. It can recieve call or text but it cannot dial out because it is not phone. (its just that simple).

  • please do understand the wifi model and the cellular model. the wifi model u only can use it for online, download, streaming and browsing internet. the cellular + wifi model, u can use it as a phone and tablet. can make a call or receive call, massage or video call just like the iphone. u can use data form your cellular sim card to browse internet or u can u wifi.

  • To install what's app you need a device that actually supports what's app then copy the documents and library onto the iPad and install the app using iTunes

  • Two questions: 1. How to install Whatsapp on iPAD mini (wifi only) 2. How to make phone calls in India with iPAD mini (wifi only)

  • Tether it to you mobile phone. No point in paying for TWO mobile plans anyway!!

  • Latest ipad mini(wifi) cums wid OS 8.1 & later u can upgrade it to OS 8.3 which around 250MB.

  • How to update my ipad's OS? Also does Whatsapp works on this wifi version?

  • I buyed this tab from Middle East (Dubai). But the facetime is not available in this device.there is no cellular connection ,only wifi what will I do

  • This iPad is the best one,i think, since now it is 250 dollars and has reasonable performance on iOS 8.3. Very reasonable purchase and will receive support from Apple upto 2016.Video calls are good,Battery Life Excellent,and looks gorgeous.Hopefully this should help you guys decide if you want to get one

  • Thanx 4 ur feedback..where do u belong from? & how shall I upgrade my iOS of ipad mini at home?

  • So far everything works perfectly, for sure it can be better(retina, more memory, faster cpu). Newest iOS 8.3 is working properly. When you open too many, like more than 10 apps some of the new ones crash on opening, but it keeps everything else working. Purchased right after release and very happy customer with it, when it stop working will buy newer model, I think. Combat game like Modern combat works fine.

  • Hi all, can sum1 who has hands on this ipad mini1 model..can advise me how there experience is til date? What kind of games I can play on this being only 500MB RAM. Also does "whatsapp" works on this "mini wifi model"? I bought ipad mini 16GB wifi model & m frm India. I've not yet opened it will wait for feedback from U guys.

  • This is a really good Ipad. i use for gaming it plays most up to date games with no lag. Really impressed. Screen sometimes does stick. as you need tap a couple of times. but that is a little niggle.

  • What can we do if it suddenly stop from working. It went dead after recharging and won't open

  • Using it from past 1 month it's a handy device.gamers there is no issue with any game all high end games run superbly overall it's worth of every peny of your pocket you can go for it...

  • How 2 check net balance in Apple ipad mini wifi+ cellular....

  • cam and display is good,1080p Vedio got stuck many times while playing,high game we can't play smoothly, simply waste of money.

  • totally blown away. this is awesome tablet. Very good build quality as with all Apple Devices. Very happy

  • yes because the activation code will go to your phone but it will activate on your ipad

  • hi dude.... can i use whatsapp on ipad mini wifi plz tell me i have plan to buy this. so tell me about the apps details

  • Bro U can just hard reset ur apple ... But frnd u will lose all of ur data.. Good luck

  • Is there any way to have my iOS put back to iOS 7? I just did an update to my Ipad MINI WIFI from iOS 7 to iOS 8 and the battery drains quickly. Please help. I dont like iOS 8 sooo much and I want my iOS 7 back.. any suggestions? solutions? Looking for your reply

  • In ios 8 the settings ui changed alittle and so did the notification bar and control center, one of my fabourite change was in the camera app were they added a timer and time-lapse function. The photos app changed alittle too!

  • Is there any physical changes when the IOS will be updated to IOS8 because I just updated the IOS of my Ipad Mini WIFI and it seems like no changes physically some says the icons will changed but was not. What happened?

  • Is there any physical changes when the IOS will be updated to IOS8 because I just updated the IOS of my Ipad Mini WIFI and it seems like no changes physically some says the icons will changed but was not. What happened?

  • not agree

  • definitely i am agree with you

  • Ya right my 32 inch 720p tv doesn't show pixels how come an 8 inch 720p screen shows pixels on videos. How dumb can that be text yes but video no way

  • iPad mini is better cause it can do better multitasking and has better performance than Tab 3. If you use Tab 3 for almost 2 years, it goes slow. So iPad mini is better.

  • iPad mini is better than Tab 3. Its not the RAM, both Tab 3 ram and iPad mini's ram are different they are not the same. In iPad mini you can do multitasking and is good for games which almost have no lag. So I suggest iPad Mini.

  • get apple ipad mini

  • in the philippine you can buy GMATE.. try to search in youtube to posible in sim card slot and memory card

  • I am to buy Apple Ipad mini 16gb wifi. plz tell me that can we insert any company sim & memory card in that? And can we connect that tablet in any PC? @Thanks

  • what will I choose? Ipad mini has better material than tab 3,but tab 3 has biger RAM than this Ipad,What will I buy? I was very confused :( reply me please,thanks

  • It is an amazing product from Apple. It never hangs and the battery and the looks and actually everything is just too good. If you are going for this product, I would say that just don't think anything and buy this.

  • high cost of usage is a hurdle to its widespread preferance , a product for those with unlimited budget asking for good performance . be ready to pay for every function , high initial cost , & maintainance. ------high end user's choice!

  • Chill, and go and comment you preferred product, enough with haters

  • Proud owner of a ipad mini first gen , still on ios 6.1.3. This device is a beauty, hold very well battery and looks awesome... But if you have the budget , go for newer devices like mini 2-3 since this device starts to feels dated on ios 8. My tip is for who did not update yet, stay on ios 7. Mine is blazing fast on ios 6, but newer apps are starting to support ios 7 and up.. The build quality is like always, THE BEST

  • Never buy this tablet. The processors suck, ram is tiny, camera is horrible, and the display is crap. If Apple is a must, always get the 2nd gen or else get an android. ( Sony, nexus, Samsung ain't bad).

  • Hello,i wanna ask the programs in ipad mini are all with prices? Sorry im bad in elglish :)

  • without sim is totally a waste ipad mini, waste product from Apple company, spending 15k on this product just for browsing thru wifi is really a waste, i hate this product, dont buy this, front cam sucks no clarity, even a basic model smart fone have better cam clarity compare to this shit

  • Are visible pixels when looking at a normal distance Tablet?

  • Is the battery's life increased or decreased

  • awesome i thought that ios 7 more working than ios 8 because i dont updated ios 8 because of too many complain such as battery life and lagging .!! this ios 7 totally awesome

  • It requires long hours for battery to charge fully which according to me a demerit otherwise a wonderful place to bring out all in you.

  • Iphone 4 have retina display, this mini don't, is not that sharp but in my own opinion is not bad, the difference is when you see the screen from 10 cm or something like that , in normal use I don't really notice anything

  • Holy crap for 300$, this tablet is terrible. 512mb ram, are you kidding? the 230$ google nexus 7 has QUADRUPLE that. 16gb of memory is simply not enough anymore. Apple, what the heck were you thinking! Why dont you install a micro sd card slot like all the other android tablets? And IOS 7 is so disappointing. My battery life has dropped to less than 3 hours after upgrading the day i got it. I will never buy apple again. This is a slow, overpriced, laggy piece of trash designed for self-absorbed children. For real quality and reliability, get a google. PLEASE.

  • no , it doesnt lag at all, using it since may 2014 and right now its on iOS 7.1.2, and no hang no lag.. runs HD games and no issues. also im the owner of iphone 4 and 4S so, i know it very well now :)

  • I have been using my iPad mini for 6 months now and it never gave me a problem. If you are going to buy an iPad mini, you are never going to regret it. It's very handy compared to the iPad. Good job, Apple.

  • Have been using iPad mini for more than year. It has never lagged, not even on iOS 7 . Camera is a lot better than I would expect from 5mp, it takes simply awasome close shots. It can play 1080p without any problems, aswell as run any games on store ( hd versions ).

  • My ipad mini, is performing very well actually, if u still can't update to ios7 just wait for a notification on the storage updates in the settings

  • I just bought an ipad mini days ago. I can't update the ios, why? Pls help. It always said that an error occured downloading ios 7.1.2. I already used updating by the air and also by itunes, what seems to tbe the prob? And how i am going to solve and update it?

  • aside from gaming and display is there lots of lagging in the first generation I want for facebook app and internet surfing is it enough??

  • Apple sucks due to its simplicity. It is so simple that it has no outstanding features. It has copied Microsoft and android. If you don't want much features and very simple go for apple. But I like App Store. I believe you should go for a Microsoft tablet. It is cheaper with more features etc. I wish you for the best.

  • can any one tell me in app store we need money for any download of app...

  • why ipad mini dualcore 512ram is so so better than quadcore android

  • hey guys m going to own a mini in a couple of weeks,so was in a confusion like iPad mini is connected only through WiFi o v can connect it with net-connect/dongle????....

  • I cant download free games, though i created my apple account.

  • yes sure,,,

  • ipad mini 1 wifi with 64gig really don't have any facetime on the apps? is there any reason why??

  • hello there.. i was just wondering if this ipad mini first version can be upgrade to ios 8? because, i heard rumours on the ios 8 developement on this june 2014? so,can this ipad mini be upgraded to ios 8? =)

  • YES

  • Yes you can.

  • Supper Fast. Long Battery Life.

  • can we use viber and whatsapp here?

  • Ipad Mni is great! I own one!

  • update to 7.1 .its great!

  • Hello. Do ipad mini can share and received files via bluetooth to iphone 5c ? Or the iphone 5c can received and shared files to ipad mini ? Please. Thank you.

  • Can someone please guide me how to transfer files such as books games from pc to ipad mini?? i have downloaded itunes on my windows pc. i am able to only add music to m ipad but am unable to find apps option for transfer of ebooks and other files. I am new to ios .. please help me.....

  • God no the original mini is awful IMO. Pony up the extra $200 and get a retina 32GB because 1. The original mini sucks nowadays and 2. 16GB can barely hold Apple's free apps.

  • Yes its perfect! im using it as I answer this question of yours.

  • Hey buddies m planning to buy ipad mini 16 gb....without ratina .....is it perfect????????....its my frst apple product

  • I suggest you get the Mini 2. Its much faster and display is way better. It retains the same thing that makes the original mini a very compelling purchase: portability. And you are more likely to get ios system updates than older devices.

  • i believe it would have being better if the ipad has a sim card, because it can not be connected to the internet without the wi-fi.

  • Well.. Thank u for the explanation.. So, in your opinion should i buy the ipad mini first gen or with the retina display? =>

  • Thank you so much for the reply. iPad mini is simply an amazing gadget apple has created. looks like ur a gadget genius.... Do you happened to know if its better for me to upgrade/install iOS 7? coz I've read comments -and one of the user said -he had some problems on his gaming w/ iOS 7 /found page4. name HERO 10-31-2013 date 09:18 time if I remember correctly... thanks again... waiting for your reply

  • It doesn't need an anti-virus, iOS is an anti-virus from the start lol. As long as you dont jailbreak your iPad, which makes it vulnerable to viruses, you should be fine.

  • If GTA Stan Andreas is perfect on this tablet, then I guess anything else would be perfect. I own one, its perfect, slim, good battery, and FAST!! The only downside is that there is no downside lol :P But my advise, don't get the 16 GB because its not enough for gaming, 16 GB is only for music and web browsing. I own the 64 GB but can't fill more than 32 GB. So the 32 GB version is good.

  • ipad mini is absolutely better

  • I own both version of the Ipad Mini. The new Ipad Mini with retina has a much better display quality that when you play the same game, the difference is noticably better. Loading times are much faster and the new Ipad Mini with Retina does not crash as often as the older one. This is based on my personal experience where i tried to play the same game on both devices. The 1st Gen ipad Mini seems to struggle and lags when you have too many things displayed on the screen at the same time, like in those build sim type of games. Battery life feels about the same, and remains excellent even when gaming.

  • Hi please help me what is better in terms of performance ? ipad mini or galaxy tab 3 8.0 ?

  • hello.. i would like to ask about this mini iPad.. which one is better between the iPad mini and iPad mini with retina display? what's the difdrence between them besides the retina display?

  • just go to nearest apple store . they will fix it

  • very satisfied

  • Fun fact: Scored 15 hours screen time in 2 days before it went to 0, drains almost nothing on standby, battery is unkillable :)

  • Best tablet I have ever owned and I have owned a iPad 2, Nexus 7, and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I know the iPad mini is more expensive than most but it is well worth it. I have found 7" too small and 10" too big, the 7.9" screen is perfect. Performs well and tons of apps available. Quality materials and well built. If you can afford it get this tablet.

  • Thnx 4 d rply... N i updated 2 ios 7. :)

  • The decision is up to you but ios 7 is amazing

  • hi, i just bought ipad mini; does it already has anti-virus? if non, whats the best free anti virus for ipad mini? pls help....thanks

  • i just bought one yesterday and downloaded HD Games such as DARK KNIGHTS, COMMANDO D-DAY, ASPHALT 8, DEAD TRIGGER, INJUSTICE ETC..it works smoothly superb..even for only 512MB RAM, it works great!A5 chip works for it!..THANKS!..a must buy!

  • hey guysss...whiche one the better Ipad Mini Wifi or Asus MemoPad HD7 ???

  • I should spent much money to buy an Apple's Tablet in my country however with this amount of money you can buy a Samsung's tablet easily with double RAM and CPU. But if you think a bit you choose Apple because you don't need very powerful RAM and CPU... you need a powerful battery and the best screen and more stable...so Apple is the choice of professional people and Samsung is the choice of kids.

  • two months after I bought ipad mini, the screen was cracked when used by my kid. And now I don't know how to fix this (I live in Indonesia)

  • there is pv2 for android.

  • Thank god nobody have this problem in Android devices.. Because there is no PvZ 2 for Android..

  • first select ios or android ok next sum or ipad

  • Well the galaxy tab line had always been underpowered and lets face it, Apple devices have always been underpowered. So you should definitely get the 2nd gen nexus 7. It's the same price but it's a lot better than the 2 tablets you mentioned. The specs don't lie, the nexus 7 is the clear winner.

  • iPad mini or Samsung Galaxy tab 3 7.0? Suggestions pls I'm planning to buy my very first tablet so.. help me out deciding. thanks

  • Oh yeah that 5 megapixel camera is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING... I mean the fact that almost every device in the world other than Apple devices went past 5 megapixel cameras about 28 billion years ago is irrelevant. Because I'm an Apple fanboy and I'll buy Apple junk no matter what they release. In fact I might even buy the new Mac that looks like a trash can. Hey and the new iPhone is exactly the same as the old one. WOW I'll buy it. And for those who'll reply that the new iPhone has a 64 bit processor. Well that's great! You can now support more than 4 GB of ram... wait... hang on the iPhone only had 1GB of ram, I wonder when they'll upgrade to at least 2GB. Probably have to wait for the iPhone 256

  • Cool, can you buy it in stores

  • Thank you. Camera looks so good.

  • I know how. Actually, once you go on the App Store, go to SEARCH. then on the upper part of the screen, there would be for ipad or for iphone. Choose iPhone app, you would see INSTAGRAM there. :D Hope this helps! :D (Reason is because Instagram App is made for an iPhone size, so if you want it on your ipad, it'll only get stretched. But still looks good.)

  • Yes nate its out already I bought it online :)

  • Is it even out yet?

  • Hi everyone, I just decided to buy Ipad Mini 2. And its now on my hand :) it so cool, the skype abd camera is so clear. It so handy. Ios 7 is the best. the only thing is that i cant see intagram on this. Do you know where can I get instagram on ipad mini 2 ? Please thank you.

  • The nexus 7 will not lag as much as the older version. In fact, it probably won't lag at all or very rarely. But the same goes for the iPad mini 2. The iPad mini 2 is a more premium product. It's not cheap plastic. The iPad mini 2 is also going to be way way way better at internet browsing than the nexus 7. I feel like the nexus 7 is far to small. You might as well get a large phone rather than the nexus 7. Another thing is that with the iPad mini 2, your getting everything that Apple offers. Ios7, App Store, FaceTime, etc. Both are good tablets though. It's your choice

  • hi. well when i m about to buy a tablet a month back i searched and used alot ipad 10inch ipad mini and samsung but apple is the best in use touch camera.

  • Android does not lag. And if you think it does you've probably only tried skins like Samsung touch wiz but stock android on nexus devices does NOT lag. And ios is a closed os, you can do so much more on android. And by the way I'm typing this using Swype texting which you don't have on ios.

  • Try Nexus or Asus Phonepad!

  • Nate hello. Thank you. Actually my first choice was the ipad mini 2. The second was the asus nexus 7 2013 but android lag so much. Do you think asus nexus 7 2013 lag so much too ? Overall Ios way better.

  • I think you should get the iPad mini 2. It's faster and has a much better display. The new nexus 7 tablet is also a good choice. Look into both of those

  • Hi everyone, my parents will buy me a tablet. But please will you help me suggest a good tablet that skype, instagram, document making and edit will work ? Please.

  • this is greatt amazing

  • you need jailbreak

  • experiencing too much lag on iOS 7, like in temple run 2 and zombie tsunami.

  • its just great device , in terms of speed and small size, and functionality

  • Plz tell me how to get whatsapp??

  • My ipad mini does support whatsapp..you just hv to apply some tricks on it

  • No wi fi not support whats app but support wechat and line

  • Yes you can. But you can also consider a higher ppi screen for better reading, Something like Nexus 7 (2013)

  • hye there.. do this iPad mini wifi version support whatsapp? =)

  • I am a student i got much things to deal with like download pdf files through wifi can it help me through it.suggest me the model.

  • if your lumia can be a wi-fi hotspot, go for the ipad mini 32 GB wi-fi only model.

  • I own a Lumia phone...I travel a lot..will the iPad mini(wifi) a good option for me? Please HELP!! Thanks.

  • troy, i tried a different charger and the device still won't charge... i finally bring the unit to PowerMac service center, it underwent diagnostics and they found out that it was a case of faulty battery, thank God the escalation was approved and Apple will be sending a replacement unit

  • i already use ipad mini wifi with tether hotspot with my sony phone.its better fast from my phone actually.amazing

  • Yeah nexus 7 is great but the 7" screen is a compromise to me so i'll buy ipad mini

  • @keydee. It was a faulty charger. It was the cord to be specific. Cheers!!!!

  • Gmate can be only installed on a JAILBROKEN ipad mini

  • or you can try Dropbox

  • @Troy same thing happened to my ipad mini wifi only. after 3 months, the battery won't charge anymore beyond 12%! to use it, it has to be constantly plugged to power! i'm going to return it to the store where i bought it. this could be a faulty battery.

  • any suggestion, what game is better ?

  • Its just the matter of time, apple would learn their lesson just like blackberry company. Apple and blackberry company are the king of low spections trashy products that are expensive. Already apple don't even what what kind of design to put out for sale.. their days are numbered.

  • nexus 7 is a better choice

  • awesome product. . . . . its a blind buy

  • I'm thinking about getting this or the new Nexus 7. What do any of you guys think? Thanks, سمَـ&­;#1614;ّوُ&#16­08;ُحخ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ امار&­;#1578;يخ ̷̴̐خ

  • User of iPad mini i would surely update if the next iPad has these specs Sub retina display with 244PPi 1536x1024 resolution (atleast) Quad core graphics same as iPad 3 i know they wont add iPad 4 graphics thats why iOS 7 of course Finger print scanner 8MP camera / 2MP front camera These are the only things i need from this new iPad or else i would get an iPod touch and upgrade after an year

  • I have had the 32gb model of this product from December of last year and so far it has been a very reliable product. I have used apple products before but this is flawless, the battery life is outstanding and the 512mb of ram has never been an issue. I am able to play the latest games such Asphalt 8 and Modern Combat 4 without lag and the lack of retina display is not an issue, this also saves you a bit of cash. It is also lighter then the larger, bulkier Ipad and less of a strain to hold for long periods of time. I strongly urge anyone considering this product to go for it you will be impressed.

  • Is 512mb RAM enough? Most other tablets have 1G or 2G RAM.

  • is whatsapp suportabe in this ipad without cellular

  • which is better to buy ipad3 or 4 .

  • ipad mini FTW!!! Cant wait for the ipad mini 2

  • i got it in 2 months ago.this is beauty and very poweredfull prossesor

  • Stupid Handset,,,, poor battery life,,,,, lack in high screen resoultion

  • for file transfer from desktop/notebook or android-phones to ipad mini, try DropBox

  • Hi all. Just bought the ipad mini on craigslist.com yesterday. When i charge the ipad with the wall charger, the battery icon shows that its charging. The problem is that the battery percent icon does not hold any charge!!!! Y is that? Thanks

  • Use Gmate :) just search it in the internet :)

  • Thanks for the advice!

  • Thanks, so the only use of bluetooth is for headset only?

  • unfortunately, only to others apple phone or tablet.

  • Guys can this device send images via bluetooth? To other devices?

  • Use iTunes.

  • Yes, You Can. From itunes, goto photo tab and select the option to pic the folder where your photos are, then sync it.

  • Guys can this device send images via bluetooth? To other devices?

  • how can i transfer my photos from my windows 7 to my ipad mini.? plz help....i tried everything...

  • The iOS 7 will come officialy on your tablet in about a month,be pacient!Anyways,dont rush over those iOS 7 betas because they are still buggy,just wait for the official iOS 7 in september!

  • Dont worry,edz...the iPad mini display is gorgeous,especialy when playing games,so go buy one!I agree with the others,android is too buggy,and too much plastic and gliches everywhere on most of the devices,maybe,if you wish quality materials,you can try Assus,or htc one,they are solid aluminium chasis,but,again...android on board!

  • Hey,hey,cheer up,its normal!Any tablet is heating up quickly when using heavy multitasking apps like games,so dont worry,just let your iPad mini to cool down for some minutes if you think its too hot,then you can play again!Anyway,even if you dont take a break,your iPad wont crash and burn,so...no worries!

  • No

  • hi. i'm planning to sell my samsung tab 2 10.1 and i'll buy ipad mini wifi. do u think it's a good idea?

  • Is it normal for the ipad mini to heat up when playing games?? Please help..

  • I recently bought IPad mini WIFI and want to know is there any way I can upgrade it to WIFI + Cellular, to use it to make phone calls?

  • it's true

  • So anonymous, what is the name of your phone.i think i also want to get it. because i also think Ipad doesnt have the specs i need in a tablet.

  • Apple iPad mini is better than android devices .you can see the differences while playing HD games

  • Guys is this wifi version, encountering wifi conection interruption/problem during surfing? Because i am planning to buy one and mobile wifi for 3g internet connection.please advise?

  • you have to be a developer to have access to ios7 beta release. However, official update to ios 7 will come in Fall(September 2013) according to press release. We have to wait until such time.

  • I Like This

  • So just buy a 700-euro all-but-unusable feature-phone that runs a crippled pseudo-OS and has poor battery backup. I'd gladly buy an iPad, as tablets are strictly for media consumption, not productivity, but iPhones are not competitive.

  • Dont buy that crapy android,, Its not good for playing games,, apple's hardware is much better in comparison to any android device,, BE samsung or HTC. USed apple and android both android is buggy an most of the android devices have battery isuues and crappy plastics,, samsung called to be the rival of apple loses its colors after a year or so, n u ll see ppl still using an iphone 4 which is 3 years old tech proudly, without any probs. and still cost 15k for a used in used markets or olx. DONT EVER BUY ANDROID

  • hi,, guys how can i upgrade my ipad mini io6 to 7? help pls thanks

  • planning to buy it soon. any suggestion???

  • Yep ireally love myipad mini the best

  • For all those of you who say that the display is not good enough, go home cuz u never owned an ipad mini. I just bought one 3 days ago and I can't take my hands off it. Simply amazing and the display is good, not the best but good. And lol I'm typing this form this new ipad :p and btw, gaming is amazing. No lags what so ever. :D

  • Hi guys, just wanna ask if you were to choose between the two (the Nexus 7 or the Ipad Mini) what would that be?? In terms of : -display (is the ipad mini's display not that good considering it does not have a retina display??) I have iPhone 4s btw ... I like the mini's thin bezel though . -how about their performance in games & apps ??? OR ... should I just wait for their new release this year ??? This is gonna be my late birthday present from my husband :) Thank you guys ...

  • If you have a way to send the connection to your iPad ofc it is.

  • Yes man. 512 rams are more than enough to run an Apple product smooth and fast. Even with 3 or more apps running!

  • Are you kidding me? It will beat all the high end devices out there ;)

  • Yeah man I advise you to get the iPad because of its smoothness and simplicity. Simply amazing.

  • Bro if you have a phone that provides wifi hotspot, then get the iPad wifi version. Save your money and also get 3G connection on your iPad :D

  • ,i have my ipad mini right now,and its really cool than any android tablets....its a top quality product from apple.compare to android it is more secure,,,

  • I very like this...

  • its a great device with good price point. build quality of apple no other competitor can beat it

  • One of my friends bought one and its quite nice but when we compared my tablet to his(mine is an archos 80 platinum) mine was actually way better than his and mine actually costs half of the ipad mini. Ipad mini had dual core mine had 1.2 quad core, ipad mini 512mb ram and mine has 2gb ram, and both are 8 inches. On the performance charts mine is actually 40% better in cpu and gpu performance so the ipad mini is a waste of money. its even beaten by the archos 80 titanium which is a dual core tablet. Apple has to wake up and start producind retina display quad core ipad minis coz its being outclassed by small companies.

  • Review: Pros- + Build quality + Features + Battery life + Touch response + Performance + lots of apps Cons- - Price - No 3g connectivity - sometimes bit irritating to use as addition of photos, videos and music requires a pc with itunes

  • Hey guys... pls help me!! it is a very important matter.. !! i purchased ipad mini wifi 3 days back... for two days it connected to itunes on my laptop and i downloaded games, music, etc from the itunes store.. but today it suddenly stopped connecting to itunes... itunes is not recognizing my ipad.. i tried all solutions on the apple website ( ) but nothing is happening... pls help me if anyone can.. i shall be grateful.... do visit the above website thanks in advance!!

  • The next mini should have retina. No retina no buy

  • this is not a mobile phone

  • whay shoud thes mobil phons are so high rated

  • 20K for the Ipad Mini wifi 32 gb, 26K for the wifi/cellular 32gb in Philippine Peso

  • It doesn't matter if it is equipped with 1GHZ Dual Core CPU. Speed varies on net connection speed. Less pixel density compared to Ipad 4 retina display is out of a question.Pointing out other tablet brand, it has just a very capable display.

  • Hi guys , am using good player in mini ipad , i got it from appstore 2.99$ , i can't play anything with Direct Streaming URL !! i put the local ip of our company tv and still got nthn !!! Any one faced the same problem !!? Plz reply asap , many thanks

  • Hey,why don't you check the nexus 7c cellular

  • sure ipad mini, if you don't need phone call.

  • I'm planning to buy one. plz help me choosing between ipad mini or galaxy tab 2. in india ipad mini wifi only is about 22k whereas galaxy tab 2 wifi + cellular is about 15k. where it is good to go in the name of apple as I haven't used anyone before whereas I'm enjoying my galaxy s ii for about 2 years

  • How do I set the wi-fi of it

  • I have rhe iPad mini white silver 16 gb but I swap it with my uncle for the black slate version. All I can say is the iPad mini feels so good at hand. Comfortable for mobility purpose. I can't make a difference about it does not have the retina display. All I can see is that the iPad mini display is better than other tablet, more capable than the rest. I didn't notice any lag, but the primary consequences of having the black colour is that the aluminium is prone to scratch and it is more noticeable. I have already notice the mirrored edge of my iPad reveals the raw aluminium from the scratch. And the back smokey apple logo have minor scratch as well. I haven bought any protective cases yet. But overall, the design is impressive, compact. After all, those scratches doesn't really affect me anymore, I just let it be...

  • great product! the best!

  • I actually bought the ipad mini 6 months ago and so far it's perfect every thing is perfect the screen,battery backup,and the 1080p camera .it's such an great device

  • Mobile Broadband With A MiFi Device From Your Local Mobile Phone Provider

  • How internet is accessed without WiFi connection in ipad mini WiFi only version? Is by a dongle?

  • mine works perfectly even in black

  • That was also my choices Ipad mini or Nexus 4 . but i'm going to Ipad mini. I didn't much liked Android though. smoothness in Apps is the reason why i'm going for Ipad mini. :)

  • Should i get a tablet- ipad mini or a smartphone- nexus 4?

  • Vanna Sprott is this you?

  • thankyou @BugsBana and @Deimuel. :) Im planning to buy one on June. :) Do you think its good? I mean no damage like scratch at the back

  • from 18990 to 20999 PHp

  • The difference between the two is only GPS & Card slot for Internet/Data Sim, that you cannot find on Wifi Version Only.

  • Cellular version or 4g is only for data use, not for phone calls or even any phone functions :-)

  • I dont think u can make phone calls in cellular version of ipad mini. The 4G is for data use only.:-)

  • The colour dont damage the device.

  • Hello. I have a black one and my WiFi works perfect :)

  • Heard black ipad mini has lot of wifi problems. Is it true?

  • But the wifi is cheaper so if u have a mobile get the wifi

  • Both are the same the only difference is that you can make phone calls and you can have 3g on it

  • which ipad shud i buy the wifi or celuler

  • iPad Mini is under spec and extremely over price device. If size does not matter, than get iPad4 with Retina Display. Or else wait for iPad Mini 2 with Retina display in Sept/Oct 2013.

  • I currently own a smartphone and im planning to buy an ipad. Is the ipad worth buying or should i buy a better smartphone instead?

  • please make sure_The battery of ipad mini is 4400 mAH 3.72V 16.5Whr

  • do the research yourself. Go sample it too. That's all I have to say. Best buy allows you to sample it. I challenge you to do it, and I bet you will chose the Ipad mini. no question about it. Unless your an apple hater, then there's no point.

  • Ipad mini vs ipad 2 3 4 vs any other tablet and why is this tablet better

  • Is an ipad mini the best tablet you can get??

  • Hi i am planning to buy a tablet i have a galaxy note 2 and i want a tablet do you think that ipad mini is the best choice and why

  • don't compare on those rubbish quad core devices out there because when it comes to apple they focus not in the processor but what people like . iPad mini maintains its 60 fps even two or more apps running inspite of its low clocked rate of its CPU it could beat some high end devices out there

  • Hi, if you have the power to buy, do it .. I am not trying to upsell the apple products, but I went through Samsung Galaxy Tab, Blackberry Playbook and now .. I am extremely glad I've ended up with the iPad mini. Highly recommended. Do not waste your time, live your life NOW!

  • No.

  • Are the 512 MB of RAM enough for heavy use?

  • Should i buy Ipad mini or wait for Ipad mini 2? This would be my first tablet and i really hand on it.

  • Response to Kirk: Guys one more concern. Is the Apple EarPods with Remote and mic is compatible in this device for video calling? > Yes, it is compatible, yet is not in the box when you buy the package. only inclusions would be the lighting cable & wall adaptor. Plus manual & sticker of course. As for the earpods, gotta purchase that outright. :) > Just bought mine last 13th, and seriously it gives a better gaming experience due to its dimension. Its not bulky & awkward to manipulate. :D > Fits perfectly in a purse too! :D Hihi!

  • Thanks alot gsmarina.

  • kiyomi_gracie, you'll find that iPad Mini is totally geared towards first time users. Hardware wise, its screen is just the right size and dimension for book reading. If you love gaming, you'll find many games on iPad that you won't find on Android. Or if you do find them on Android, the quality of graphics would vary a lot from one model to the next. For example, look up YouTube for Modern Combat 4 comparison, particularly between Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and iPad.

  • Guys one more concern. Is the Apple EarPods with Remote and mic is compatible in this device for video calling?

  • I bought my iPad mini (wifi) a couple of days ago and I can't save a picture from Facebook. I used to do this when I still have my old iPad (iPad 1). I don't know if Facebook already prohibited this. But if I tap a picture there's still the option (save photo) but it doesn't save the picture. Is there any setting to be able to do this?

  • ofcourse ipad mini, its awesome.

  • go to best buy and sample them yourself. Both of them are on sample display.

  • what to buy nexus 7 or iPad mini plz advise.

  • in summer

  • Get a third party video player from the App Store. Download DiskAid (for PC/Mac) and ditch itunes. If your willing to pay, GoodPlayer is one of the choices. It supports all kinda formats. Or OPlayerHD Lite (free but with ads). Both support transfer via usb / wifi. Or drag and drop into itunes share folder.

  • iOS supports just MP4 and if your device doesn't support MP4 the problem might be with your software or maybe you don't know how to do it.But if the problem is with your software connect your device to iTunes and click restore button to restore your software but before of that make a backup from your device.

  • Just use the TTPlayer app for Ipad and you'll never worry about video conversion anymore! It plays your video in the format you feed it to play, directly on IOS device. Enjoy!

  • Does anyone know when iPad Mini 2 will be revealed?

  • can anybody tell me how to convert video for ipad mini thru iTunes? what kind of video format does ipad mini support ? i have tired mp4,flv,mov but nothing seems to be working do we need any converter for it ?

  • people usualy compare the ipad mini n d nexus 7..in terms of specs nexus might be ahead..but people dont know that ios is much more ram n core efficient..games play mch better in ios..i m not an apple user..i have android..and the built qualty of d nexus is shity..ipad mini or any apple product r of good strong quality..nexus has a corning glas.it wud break if falls from the hand

  • I prefer in tab 32GB or more. Asus Nexus 7 has 8GB 16GB 32GB much better specs and price accept rear Camera but front Camera is there. Apple iPad Mini has 16GB 32GB 64GB better build quality with rear and front Camera but lower specs and high price. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" is better choice than between these two. It specs and price are two of them.

  • Nah iPad mini are crapy..try ipad4 or latest retina ipad...actually nexus 7 the best android tablet so far made by Asus in terms of price..quad core nvidia 1GB ram and 219ppi led IPS LCD display with corning gorilla.

  • Does the turntable application work in iPad mini...?

  • there is no sim spcification whats the use of that all apps and feature.

  • I wish to buy 1

  • hey.. i'm a first time used of ipad.. i would like to know if there is any free application to lock contacts and mails accounts?

  • I just bought this iPad mini and its good I'm first time apple product user... Can anybody help me how to make an apple I'd? it's always my I'd is not yet used in iTunes... Somebody help please...thanks so much..

  • I'll already purchase it, Its awesome and pretty good, The graphic for almost game is ... sure I rate 5...better than Android, Android is till not stable and slow while install many apps ...

  • If possible, U should try to buy 32 GB

  • Is 16gb enough for ipad mini?

  • Yes, just need to download itune software on your PC

  • i love it! It works!!

  • Performance is great but juicing up the battery is not cool with the supplied 5W wall charger. Plugging it to the laptop or PC requires to turn off the device to start charging.

  • Is it retina display or just an ordinary LCD screen?

  • yes you can connect it to your laptop but for data transference you will have to use itunes installed on your computer.

  • will it work only with WIFI ? can i connected my dongle to this and use ? please i am interested to buy but need to know that.

  • guys i m gonna sell my Samsung galaxy tab 7plus soon and i m thinking to buy ipad mini wifi can anybody tell me how its and this is 1st time i'll buy apple product so i want to know about warranty period also and apple service plz help me out asap :)

  • this is very smart ......device apple ipad mini wi-fi.......thanks every bdy

  • Where your company?

  • Good one

  • It supports 1080p video playback.? or just 720p video playback.?

  • yes

  • does it support mobile data connector? what else provision does it have for browsing other than wi fi??

  • Does no one else think this is the funniest thing ever?

  • good for hand

  • am not able to get wireless name on my mini apple

  • you just need to download itunes and connect your ipad mini

  • I want to buy this ipad mini. can i connect this tablet to my windows 7 laptop using usb cable?

  • where can i buy this or does anyone can send me this device. i am living in south sandwich

  • Non Retina display but I hardly notice. Pixel density is good due to smaller screen. Though processor speed is like an iPad 2. I didn't like the connector - can't dock it without buying an adapter (which Apple over prices). Other than being able to plug it different orientations, it still terminates in USB2.0 at the other end, so no point in terms of speed.

  • It's wifi transmitter may be selective - not work well with older routers. Fine if you have new router and only connect at home, but for public places you will either have to re-register the device on the router, or not be able to connect at all. Same with other new Apple products.

  • 1. Its display can be bad to look at if your accustom to iphone 's retina display. But its easier to hold on the hand then the full size ipad, thus good for watching video/pictures when holding it. 2. It does not slow down or jerk when in most applications. Only the slower app launches compared to ipad4. 3. Gaming on ipad 4 looks the best .. but playing games on ipad mini is the best .. because of the weight and size. But the best thing i feel about ipad mini is the battery life.. it completely trashes all other 7 inches tablets .. and some full size tablets. Example.. i listen to music 9am to 6pm non stop on my bluetooth headset.. .. battery life 99% to 89% and my bt headset ran out of battery... Typical usage is like 10 hrs usage and 3~4 days standby.. moderate use. but could run out of battery if watch video 10 hrs straight..

  • Ios has lags but smaller. There in no such thing as no lags. They increase over time.

  • There's no problem. The display is perfectly alright. Been using it for 2 months now. I prefer its screen over S3 and iPhone 5 (Not only because of size) Being an iOS device, there are no lags whatsoever. You might have an app crashing once every month or so, but its very rare. For the price, its a STEAL :)

  • I am an android user... And I never thought ios is this good... Wow. Now I understand what some people hate iOS.. I am happy with my new iPad mini

  • hi, i was planning to buy an ipad mini, and it's stuck with few concerns to make it worth in my eyes 1. did iPad mini's display looks bad? i mean for watching movie, photos? 2. did it ever got some lag, slow or something slowing the performance? 3. if compared with ipad4, is there's any HUGE different on performance especially while open some apps or games like Infinity blade, MC4, or the others extreme graphics games outthere? I know that was A5 vs A6X chips, but I just need some proves in real usage if you ever experienced iPad mini by yourself, please tell me, need to decide ASAP :) thanks before

  • hello are u ok if this thing was happening then i'll the first buyer

  • pls i need ..someone to put me thru how to make perfect connection with my ipad mini wifi..

  • Only if u jailbreak your ipad.

  • Whatapps can install on Ipad mini-wifi??

  • ya

  • while registering /installing whatsapp n viber.. it asks for your mobile number.. u can enter the mobile number n go ahead. confirmation message( code) will be sent to your mobile number and after receiving confirmation code , enter it on ipad... and kick start yor app .. same can be done for itouch too ;)

  • there is 2 type of ipad mini...this one is WiFi only...try to look at WiFi + cellular type...

  • I want to buy this Ipad .. but ?? it cannot insert SIM !! hOW can I use viber to make a call .. and whatapps to message ?

  • I went to buy ipad4 in the store and also played with mini....I'm impressed with the looks and built...but I decided to buy ipad4....but I will surely get one Ipae mini 2 with retina display ....:)

  • I'm just bought it today and I hope it is the last tablet which I have been using so far.

  • also most apps cannot load off the external memory card. Thus a reason why, a lot of phone companies, are starting to create products that don't have a external slot. (HTC, Sony, Asus, Nokia).

  • i bought ipad mini last week. Its so good. best tab so far. apple is the best.

  • Im using this ipad mini for couple of days now, so far I'm happy with it but sometimes difficult to connect to my own wifi @my house. Need to reset the network connection. When I did the first charging, it stop @ 90% ....and I have to reconnect the plug..

  • I ha've a vast array of tablets and if you are looking for something on ios I suggest you get the iPad 4 it has a Better screen resolution but if that doesn't worry you the mini is good and if you have a tight budget and want a high res screen great processor that I faster than iPad 4 and personally I think the screen is better too everything is crisper on the nexus 10 but thats if you don't mind android, I find its more media creation based along with personalisation while iPad is more media consumption based

  • Hi everyone, Just got my iPad mini had lots of concern before , but ever since I got it all concerns are gone ! I'm luving it so much , previously I was an apple fan and switch to an android galaxy note 2 ! Still loving the phone , but compare the quad core in note 2 to an dual core mini , seriously the mini is still a lot smoother . Note 2 is quit top of the line and still dual core iOS device still runs faster and smoother ! For those that comparing iPad mini to an ipad4 , apple is targeting a different market for both ! For portability go for mini and for more heavy dutie work ,such as performance , display res, graphics or simply a bigger screen go for pad 4! Just a recommend you'll be more willing to take mini every where you go , instead of a iPad 4 as the weight and convenience to hold in one hand ! If you play lots of games then mini will be more friendly ad oppose to a normal iPad as it become heavy for long term use !!!!!! No regret mini , I'm typing on it right now enjoying every bit of it ! Cheers!

  • Thanks. getting my ipad mini next week. can wait (^_^)

  • IF u like iOS its better, IF u like android it wont be better. But if u look the design n built quality, u will LOVE the iPad mini...

  • Yes I agree. I personally own an iPad 3. But my brother has an iPad Mini. U wont regret buying an iPad mini. The resolution is low and ppi is lower than ipad 3 or 4, but u wont see MUCH difference and old chip, but it faster than iPad 2. we checked and confirmed.

  • Hi All iPads only charge with the adapter that come with it. It wont charge through computer. So its normal, nothing to worry. Its because usb cant supply enuf power to charge iPad (but iPhones will charge).

  • Hi.. if u have money to afford for ipad 4, u can get an ipad 4. it faster and better thanipad mini. (in terms of speed, processing power, display etc) but the ipad mini dint fall short with its premium design n small size. Decide ur choice based upon the money u have. but ipad 4 is better.

  • Lets discuss ur cons... 1. Adobe Flash isnt available for any mobile paltforms NOW. so thats a lame comment 2. have you ever used an ipad before? iPad 2 is fast and you cant expect supersonic speeds, coz its jus a tablet, not a concorde flight. 3. 512 mb ram? that is more than enough foa an ios device to wrok well without any lag. Apple's iOS is buttery smooth even in 512 mb ram. u can check it out in any reviews. 4. the resolution is more than enuf to work with. if u want higher resolution spent 170$ more and get an ipad 3 or ipad 4. 5. 5Mp camera... Seriosly you are doing to shoot movies and expecting DSLR quality images from ipad? and you are gin to hold this to shoot pictures in a concert?? lol 6. NO external memory. thats a fact with all apple products to avoid fragmentation of memory. Its an advantage in disadavntage. but still I agree with u in this. 7. NO micro USB? y u want that???? i dont see an use for the microUSB port in iPAD! 8. no micro hdmi..Yes, it wont work without an adapter. Agree. 9. What do u mean by stupid unique apple adapter???????? every device comes with an adpter thats unique to that device. So whats wrong in that??? 10. 3.5" jack is a CONS??? you know what that is??? u really want a 1/4 inch port in an ipad??? ha ha ha ha... I think u really dont know what is a 3.5" jack.. right??? Out of ur 10 points, only 2 r reliable... Plz dont troll and post trash about a product if u dono what that is ot if u dont know what u r talking... thanks Again u compred some netbooks with ipad... I cant laugh enuf. iPad is a tablet, stil it can do more than the netbooks u mentioned.

  • hi.. The normal battery backup can range from 8-12 hours for movies and HD games You cannot use a 3g modem in ipad mini or ipad (incompatible). however u can use mifi modems to convert 3g to wifi and use it. u can pick one for 60-100$ unlocked. PLENTY and TONS os free apps n games are available. Also Great paid games starts from 1$. Hope this helps

  • Hi 1. Yes, Viber works fine and its free. You can also try skype, imo, ebuddy, nimbuzz etc.. all r free from appstore. 2. ipa files from internet wont work without jailbreak!

  • Hi... No Voice calls or messages using GSM/CDMA service... But u can use iMessage or calls using viber n skype etc over Wifi or 3G!

  • Is it work for call or masseging?

  • are you sure about viber installation on the model which has wifi as I will not be buying the cellular version. And my second question was for the .ipa files of the paid apps available on the Internet for free. I know that viber is free

  • you can use viber in ur ipad but you need to register it with any of ur working phone number . you need not to jailbreak it for viber its free on app store .

  • 1. Can I install viber on the wifi-only ipad mini? 2. Can I install .ipa files on the ipad mini using itunes without jailbroken ios6?

  • other version with LTE/3G yes it got sim slot. this version is wifi only. Apple iPad mini Wifi

  • Hallo. Apple iPad Mini User. i want to buy my first apple ipad. 16gb ipad mini wifi is the one within my budget/afford. i would like to know how long can the battery last for basic web browsing, video, music? would it possible to use a wireless 3g modem with this ipad? any free games,apps for ios6? thanks :)

  • Hes just another i hater. Leave him be. I reported him already. He probably never even touched an ipad mini before. Briefly googled it, and decided to say a bunch of negative things about it.

  • Umm...IOS is based off Unix not Linux for one. Two, Adobe dropped Flash support for Android so there's now choice of using it. Third, Apple products have NEVER had microSD, microUSB which means no microHDMI. Fourth, You call it a "stupid unique Apple connector" yet you forget about back in the day when ALL phones had different unique adapters. Apple stayed that way so they could monopolize and use it to their advantage. ALL your "facts" are false and pointless, good job.

  • Hi, When I connect my ipad mini to my computer even after syncing with ipad it still says not charging & doesn't charge the ipad. Any suggestions?? Please help!!!

  • Ipad mini : Pros : - Beautiful design also mediorce build quality - IOs system looks as it works beautifuly on the surface, but underneath that is Linux based OS, same as Android, except the latter is for free ;). Cons : - Flash is by default OFF, Android gives you a choice, because Flash on certain sites can be a bit more complex and slowing for tablets, but Apple builds their smoothness of browsing through sites by permanently making Flash disabled without any option - archaic slow processor, that gets to higher tempretures when in full load mode, same as in Ipad 2, that came out in March 2011, which is unheard of - only 512 MB of ram is also the reason, why this tablet becomes slow, when you want to run a little bit of a concrete program on - resolution 1024x768, come on every other tablet had that years ago and they went to higher resolutions - 5 MP back camera, come on every phone had that 5 years ago :) - no microSD space for extra memory - no microUSB - no microHDMI - stupid unique Apple connector - nothing is there, only 3.5" jack for phones, which is there since Ipad 2 Ipad mini is for girls and sissies, both needing something to touch sexualy. Nobody else would profit from it. This is just repacked Ipad 2, that was already archaic by hardware when it came out. Every mini laptop or nettop from Asus, Acer, HP, Toshiba, MSI,....that came out in the last 4 years is twice the power of Ipad 4. So now you decide if this kapitalistic selling (ipad mini 16 GB is 329 E, 32 GB is 429 E, 64 GB is 529 E....) device is for you.

  • it's a thing called "choice". you buy what you want and we'll buy what we want.

  • it's a thing called "CHOICE".

  • believe me i was thinking the same thing but i bought it and i can assure you that you cannot see a lot of difference in the screen from retina. its almost the same thing! i have put them side by side and compare them. as for the speed is super fast! i have it for 2 weeks and i use it all the time and have to say that the performance is outstanding! i just love it is a great device! whoever is torn between the new ipad and ipad mini trust me buy the mini you will love it and you will never regret it!

  • Please help... Which is better??? Ipad mini or ipad 4???? Have plans to buy one but im undesided :(

  • I thank that too!

  • Does anyone here knows rumors about iPad Mini 2 and its release date? I really really like the size of iPad Mini, but its old chip and poor resolution just won't do for me.

  • The sim facility is there in ipad mini

  • ...just bought my black ipad mini today... amazing!

  • the black version is piece of art!..this is the best tablet with a screen that is less than 9.7 and 10.1 inches

  • is apple mini ipad better than samsung galaxy tab 2

  • how to get internet connection from ipad mini

  • It will come soon

  • Samsung?better being HTC..or ninetology is much worth..haha..

  • Honestly, I'm a Samsung fan. But stone age res? Then how about the Note 10.1? It's just the same stone age res right?

  • Hi, when is the ipad mini pro out??

  • gonna get one for me , soon . seems awesome . androids got no attraction , so do nexus 7 . eventhough Apple products quite expensive , worth for the price , with the apps and the system . Smooth and deligable . it is also sleek and user friendly . what can i say is , iPad mini is the best tablet ever after iPad 2 :)

  • were did you hear the next on is a "Pro"?

  • It's called sarcasm, and I'm about as far away from being an Apple Fanboy as it's humanly possible to be since I've had countless posts deleted in the Apple sections. And all I was pointing out is the lack of memory on iPad with no external SD and while the iPad mini has the same memory the smaller screen means people can stretch the memory out further without being forced to delete things to make space.

  • wait for ipadmini pro

  • you seem to be an apple fanboy because whatever you have written makes no sense. You are just praising the negative aspect of the device. this device has a stone-age resolution. Who says you cant watch low resolution videos on High res displays. Most of the tablets provide Good quality scaling so watching videos is equivalent or even better.

  • Got myself the mini, and in my opinion it is a better choice over the nexus 7. btw i'm a semi android fanboy but when it comes to tablet for gaming, ipad wins hands down.

  • Just Got One query. Will it support movies of HD which I have in my laptop of resolution 1280*720p And can videos be played full screen because I heard that this mini has 4:3aspect ratio which is not good for viewing videos full screen. Please somebody help me before I buy this mini.

  • The good thing about having a smaller screen is you can have lower resolution videos and that takes up less memory, because on the Daddy iPad you have a really nice screen so obviously you gonna want to watch HD quality videos, but HD quickly eats up the memory and you can't just plug in an SD card or Flash Drive like almost every other tablet and keep all your videos on there to save space for other stuff on internal memory.

  • I think ipad mini is impractical.. The reason why they made ipad is to view the movie, picture and view gaming experience with a larger screen from our phones.. But now there'S ipad mini which is doesnt fit in the pocket and smaller screen.. So for me, id still Have my ipad 3 than a mini because of larger screen...

  • Awesome devise... the sound and built quality is outstanding..... im dissapointed with iphone5 but this is awesome...

  • at my country ipad mini 16gb selling RM999 and nexus 7 16gb RM899 not much different the price so which one your prefer i buy? i am headache.....pls help...

  • Tab 2 does almost everything you ever want in a tablet, but if you want a tablet to be much more than be an eReader you almost certainly gonna run into something gonna hit something iPad can't do or you have to compromise with.

  • Tab 2 does almost everything you ever want in a tablet, but if you want a tablet to be much more than be an eReader you almost certainly gonna run into something gonna hit something iPad can't do or you have to compromise with.

  • Tab 2

  • I'm trying to activate my ipad mini and when I put my credentials (name, address, etc), I keep getting an error message saying: "Please contact itunes support to complete this transaction" I'm not trying to purchase anything, I'm just setting up an apple ID and installing a free app. Please help!

  • Which one should i go for ipad mini or samsung galaxy tab2

  • Why can't I Apple just allow ipad users to be able to send text messages from them? All the hardware is there on the tabs already, i think. It's time to let ipad users get the ability to send sms messages. Almost all android tablet users are able to send text from their devices. Apple, wake up and send us a patch, please. otherwise, i'm going android

  • I own Android devices and every chance I can get I'll try out every iDeviceI can get my hands on, so I've seen that while Apple tries to smooth out the complete and utter lack of features to attract the lowest common denominator of Smartphone buyers who just want a few extra features I've seen Android does absolutely everything anyone could want so obviously constantly giving their customers all the latest features is very hard work and harder to get things right every time.

  • only 162ppi?????

  • does it have the same price as the ipad(4g)?????????????????

  • ­ Yes there is kind sir. It's released. But please confirm at your apple store. I'm just patrolling these area from unreasonable uneducated fandroids who come in and attack apple products.

  • What is the difference between iPad mini wifi and wifi cellular?

  • Sir, Please tell me does this support MS office files like MS word,MS Excel,MS Power Point,Application Softwares like Tally ERP 9,Autocad cad 2007 & Above PhotoShop,Pagemakes can I perform these things if yes after doing my work can I take the prints does this support pen drive to copy and take the prints pls, pls sir reply me fast if the above said does not support then I will not purchase

  • awosme device

  • man... you fandroids are the most annoying breed on the internet. Honestly. You guys DON'T own the ipad mini, but you guys comment on it, its quite hilarious. good job apple.

  • It feels no different from the 4th gen, I have both and the only difference I have found is the retina display. But the reason you should buy this is because it is more portable and good for gaming, also the aesthetics are more pleasing due to the device screen ratio.

  • yes i am agreed with you its compact than the bigger ipad

  • And yet with Samsung tablets they usually don't encrypt the boot loader because they want to make it as easy as possible to Root, but I remember when Apple tried to make it illegal to JB because they want total and absolute control over what people do on their devices.

  • If u want more tablet optimised apps and games nd price is not a huge prob for u then just go for ipad mini

  • You'll find that it will work with your phone fantastically. There is no point "trying something new" if it means downgrading specs, paying more, and being more restricted in what you can do. I own a nexus 7 and it has been a wonder for me. Anything this can do the nexus can, except you get extra performance, a higher res screen with a handy 16:9 aspect ratio(great for movies and easy to hold in your hand), and access to he wonderous tegra zone. Enjoy

  • A lot of reviews so far place the iPad mini as the better option. Many articles seem to conclude that you should get the Nexus 7 only if the price is the biggest factor of your purchase, otherwise iPad mini is the tablet to get for sure, Even Chavis from GSMArena has stated that he really wants an iPad mini. Check the article here: He says "My greatest regret is that the iPad Mini or any of the iPad Mini accessories are not on the list. I have been eyeing that one for a while now."

  • Hi. I wanna buy a tablet but I don't know which one to buy between iPad mini and nexus 7. Could u please help ? I know nexus hardwares r better ( CPU,GPU) but my cellphone is android device and I might wanna test something new. Help me

  • what a very fragile device it will break even when iam holding it yeah guys

  • My fren said ios6 very sucks.. cannot jailbreak..

  • I borrowed this tablet from my friends and play with it for about 30-40 mins, and really love it. The display isn't as good as the big one, but I still find it to be better than the Nexus 7. I thing for sure, if you like watch videos on your tablet, don't buy this

  • Yes¡¡¡ what you hace to do is to download Puffin app, and thats it, you will have flash videos in your ipad or iphone

  • why do you keep on arguing about samsung and apple? this page is supposed to be for reviews or feedbacks regarding this product... such a pity...

  • No. Apple never had Flash on any of it's devices.

  • Hi guys, Are Ipad mini and Ipad4 using the identical camera ? Both have 1080p but need to be sure...

  • Does this tablet support flash player?

  • Apple already threatened to go to Chinese manufacturers for most of the components Samsung makes, but the parts Samsung makes are just in another league to what the others can make, so without Samsung parts the iPhone would be constantly going wrong. But anyway I think Samsung should keep selling them components because the profits they make from Apple more than pay for all these lawsuits they bringing against Samsung, even though Apple is losing most of these cases on Appeal and Apple is being forced to make public apologies.

  • apple is still using samsung hardware which means they could not be successful without samsung

  • If Apple could have their own way every other tablet would have a spherical screen and a parallelogram case because they want to patent every other shape in existence, and the pathetically biased way the US legal system works it wouldn't surprised me if that happens, but at least the UK Judges are still allowed to have common sense and the last case they basically called Apple liars.

  • And you actually believe the Apple propaganda? Apple could easily include a proprietary high speed memory card and make it only work with media and not Apps then you could use internal memory for Apps and keep buying bigger memory cards when you run out of space, but the fact is Apple is well know for being hugely restrictive and wanting to make money from absolutely anything they can and making sure people have to buy a whole new device when you run low on memory is purely a business decision and has nothing to do with giving people the best device possible, because there's countless things that could do nothing but make Apple devices better for the customers but it's just not profitable so they just won't include it.

  • I've tested it at a apple dealer and couldn't put it down. But that's just me. I think i'm getting one for christmas.

  • No expandable memory for Apple Devices ? That what makes Apple Devices prestigiously unique and stable. Because they just made it just right for it's hardware capability and software's compatibility for its optimum performance matches it. So, Apple really focus on every angle for its design and performance that never fail.

  • Why are people already blindly preparing to buy iPad 7 without even testing it? Simply because it has the Apple logo on it. And after trying another tablet with massively more capabilities all it takes is 5 minutes to realise an i device can't do everything you need.

  • take a look again. it's not retina display, and it only runs on the A5 chip. not worth the money. and this is a RIP OFF of Android smaller tablets. a year ago they said mini tablets suck, now look at Apple selling minis. clearly copied strategy from Samsung and Asus

  • Is this available in Hong Kong in-store or do I have to still pre-order it online?

  • Apple newly released the most beautiful tablet iPad min meanwhile Google released the ugliest tablet Nexus 10! Lol

  • why would you buy this before testing? It's just liek some idiot who said he bought an iphone5 but sold it in 5 minutes of use. You guys need to sample it first before buying.

  • Advice; If You are using or used iPad-3 with retina display so please do not buy this iPad mini because you should not satisfied with screen resolution and screen size and processor speed just this is only light weight and handy. i sell my ipad mini in only few hours after used.

  • I Only Care About Outdoors Performance Is It Better Than Nexus 7?

  • If it had a SD slot it actually might be worth buying because you can Jailbreak to get a small amount of the necessary features to almost turn it into a reasonable tablet.

  • i don't think apple is waiting for ur satisfication on their products apple is the best every day we hear samsung announce a device oh htc every hour a device(one x one x+ one xl...)apple announces a device and it get a large success in the market

  • your just hear to argue right???? I assume you havent even touched one of these yet???? yet we are talking about profit margins? You probably werent going to buy one anyones if they did include a a micro sd slot..... am I right? Probably. YOur just bashing apple inside out right now. Also apple is doing fine. The ipad mini is already the number 1 mini tablet in the world. Yea... I'm sure they lost out on 100 millions of dollars, but hey, number 1 in tablets sold.

  • The people who make Apple so rich are exactly the same people who buy designer clothes for 20 times the cost of something with a different label or go out and buy music made by someone just because they no X Factor. And these people are never gonna admit they completely controlled by Marketing and PR departments but the fact is the people who really don't care about image can see Apple really isn't that good.

  • Yeah , you guys are all right about apple ,but no matte what apple has or don't have people is still going to rush out and buy what ever product apple release ! I'm so surprised by it as no matter what the market has to offer ,people are willing to spend any regardless amount to have a apple logo on there gadgets ! I think apple has did some voodoo stuff in there company and every customer who bought there product were cursed automatically !haha ! Anyway switched from apple and now i'm a happy android galaxy note 2 user,it does what i couldn't before and everything that i could! So best luck guys !

  • The point is iPhone would be much better if it had expandable memory because Apple could easily make IOS to only allow music, videos and pictures but Apple won't give people the best device if it even slightly affects profits. And a few hundred million might not seem a lot to Apple but every feature they leave out is purely so they make profit and means you just don't get a phone that's anywhere near as good as it could be. But the difference with Android is the manufacturers make phones and throw every possible feature at it because once the phone is sold they have nothing more to do with it and Google provides all the services so you getting the most services at a competitive price, plus almost all Apps can run on external SD on Android.

  • Price matters, when you are buying something you should compare i've used apple & android devices, multitasking is not a problem for both Android is better than ios in my view Dont see only name

  • they might lose hundreds of millions however their yearly profit is 40 billion. Hardly a loss. My friend who is a developer said most apps cannot run off the sd card anyways, so it's almost useless, unless the user wants to store pictures and music. But hey, Apple is the most profitable electronic company on the planet. No micro sd card doesn't seem like a problem. But yea, it comes down to this, if you don't want it, get the android device.

  • no sdcard slot no flash not sufficient ram.......

  • Well yeah it is an option for Android manufacturers to leave out external memory but competition means they will lose sales because customers want no part of it, but people want IOS but because Apple would lose possibly hundreds of millions in profit if they included external SD customers are seriously losing out because of lack of memory and might still have to carry around a separate iPod to make up for what the iPhone lacks, where Android phones don't have that problem.

  • If you want to see speed comparison of iOS tablets you can check this:

  • Obviously Androids compete with each other and they do give customers what they want, and over half a billion Androids sold people expect external memory because it does make the phone better and you don't need to carry a separate MP3 player because you just stick a memory card in when you running short, and anyone capable of being honest about Apple knows the only reason Apple will never include external memory is because they want people to also carry an iPod and end up buying a new iPhone or iPad if they run short of memory and Apple just refuses to give people the best device and experience possible because if you want IOS you have no choice but to live with their greed. And most Apple users just don't bother complaining about things like this so Android is gonna keep getting more and more new features while IOS only gets what's profitable to Apple.

  • if you can kindly provide me the link of this please do so. As far as I know, if one manufacturer decides to cut out the sd card slot, they will automatcially fall behind the competition because the other competition is offering the sd card slot. So it's not an option for them, even if they don't want to do it. Android competition is too fierce, as for ios, it's just apple, so apple doesn't really have to worry about another manufacturer using ios.

  • They already outsold every popular name mini tablet combined, in 3 days of it's release. This is not counting being released in China, or India. Good job apple.

  • A few have tried to remove the external memory on 1 or 2 devices as a test to see how people react but there's been such a customer backlash they not gonna do it again, and from what I can tell the only one looking to continue is Google with the Nexus devices and they just deliberately restricting memory so people use and pay for cloud service so Google makes more money because getting people online is how they make their money, where every other manufacturer gets no benefit from removing external memory.

  • Apps do run off SD card on almost all Android phones and tablets though.

  • The reason Apple doesn't and probably won't ever include external memory is because of that planned obsolescence, because an 8gb iPhone 3g becomes useless as people's needs and tastes change over time, where an 8gb Galaxy S has plenty life left in it because you just add more memory. And it's not about whether you can afford an Apple product or not because if you want 1 you buy it, but they really are designed so they not at all future proofed and quickly become fit for the trash because now memory is one of the most important things and Apple basically work a similar way to the US car industry where cars are basically disposable and not made to last.

  • oh, if storage is an issue, the buyer can simply buy a 32 or 64 gb. programs cannot run off the sd card anyways, so that part is useless. This is why Asus and some other manufacturers have phased away from putting a sd card reader into the device. If "price" is an issue, simply don't buy the product. It's just like not everyone can afford a benz right? Don't buy it then. Just because the item is "overPriced" to some people doesn't mean it's a bad product. Also this is not an "android" device, so multitasking is not really an issue, as the average person is probably running 1 application at a time anyways.

  • The pixel count on the screen is really low considering the price of this thing, because you can get 8" Android tablets with 1366x768 and exactly the same Cortex A9 CPU and 1gb of ram for about half the price of this, plus you don't have to spend hundreds of Dollars extra for 64gb version because you just buy a 64gb card for $45.

  • It might seem good until you start enjoying using it and end up using more memory than you expected when you first bought it because of Games, Apps & Hi-Res videos to make use of the screen, then you have the choice between deleting things or buying a whole new tablet, where with almost every other tablet you just stick an SD card in and keep going. And then of course Apple makes even more money because they design everything they make with a very short planned obsolescence.

  • totally agree. I couldn't put it down, other customers were playing with it for so long. for 512 mb, it sure doesn't feel slow at all. It was doing things seamlessly. It's a little expensive, but it's totally worth. Best mini tablet on the market. Another site thinks this is the best tablet in apples line up.

  • Love this device I have tested it in The apple store I like the sharp screen

  • it's nice tablet but it should not be compared to nexus 7 it should be compared with galaxy tab 8.9 p7300 the specs are the same both have A9 cortex and iPad mini looks like smaller version of p7300.maybie another copy war.coming?

  • I like this tablet it is lightweight and small compared to nexus 7 and costs the same in my country.maybie my next tablet will be ipad

  • Some countries have incredibly high tax rates on certain electronic goods so it might be the Malaysian Government to blame not the reseller.

  • An Android can be programmed to do absolutely anything because Google gives you complete freedom, and yes if you wished to you could use Android as an interface to control things to do your laundry. But do you remember when Apple tried to make it illegal to Jailbreak? That's because they only want you to use the phone exactly how they want it used.

  • I noticed this doesn't have the standard 7 or 8 inch screen that most tablets have, and one of the only tablets I found that came out before this doing the same is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 And I know when anyone finds anything similar that Apple did first all the Apple Fanboys jump up and unanimously accuse them of copying, and since Samsung did this before them then by the Apple Fanboys logic Apple must be copying again.

  • Too expensive for yesteryears tech..

  • if iPad Mini is a poor man iPad, i think being poor doesn't make us less human!

  • Too expensive for yesteryears tech..

  • no it doesn't have 3.5mm audio jack because I can't lug my headset to it, or is there another type of 3.5mm audio jack

  • Dude i m seriously with...... Android is far better then the ios6

  • According to you fandroid trolls, Android can do the laundry for you guys. If you go ask a program developer they will tell you, IOS>>>>>>>>> Android.

  • just played around with it today. Awesome product. Love it. The best mini tablet on the planet. Bar none. Love it. I'm going to buy one soon.

  • Then you shouldn't be buying it there, cause you are buying the product from a non authorized dealer. That's not apples fault.

  • Please tell me someone who already own an ipad mini if the headphones amplifier is identical powerful as the iphone's 4/4S or previous ipads'!!! I want a pertinent opinion please not just words

  • Perhaps this tablet is one of the reasons why Apple shares is falling to the ground every single day from its all time high of $702 and now down to $576. What can you expect from a recycled Ipad 2 with 2-year old technology (A5 processor) and calling it innovation and selling it at a premium price for a 7" category??? Even Iphans, especially owners of Ipad 3 & above are hesitant to downgrade just to please their most loved fruit company! Abuse of branding for $$$'s sake is coming to an end???!!!

  • agree with you. its not apple's fault, its the reseller markup price :)

  • iPad will never be even close to matching what an Android tablet can do because Android tablets are designed to do everything possible where iPad only has features that can make Apple money.

  • Thats because they buy from singapore and resell it !! Did u want buy from outside and resell it with same price? And u know it not official launch on malaysia ? That is call markup price!!

  • galaxy tab has more Ram.......it quite expensive and cekik darah......tax is so high

  • lol, apple announce 329u$ for 16GB wifi, but in malaysia they are selling 1699RM=566u$,hello apple you should control the reseller, my dream is gone away!!! better choice to galaxy tab 7.7 ;(

  • Ipad mini = poor man ipad, so why bothering even talking about it? I hold it today and it just feel cheap. There's absolutely no way it gonna make me feel it was off premium quality when compare to my ipad3.

  • whatever android can do...apple can do??seriously...I ebt you are lying about using an android...gingerbread can do more than iOS6

  • Is this any better than the Nexus 7? This website says so. I think it's still too pricy.

  • Not sure if i should sell me samsung galaxy note and buy the iPad Mini any thoughts?

  • well... if you don't like it don't buy it. Even if you wanted to buy it, it wont be available right away. LOL.

  • OH i'm ok with that. I'm a consumer. Not a freakin baised person against one brand. I did my research full out. I also understand what apple is trying to with their products! I don't look at, what they do in court. Android has some nice features. I've used the the top 2 android talbets on the planet. I've also used the nexus 7. What ever the android deveice can do, apple can already do it, but it some ways different if you know what I mean. But to me, yes, apps also mean a lot to me, and the io6 have many awesome feature, and more to come.

  • unfortunately your ipad mini or any other iOS device does not have the functionality and features that android provides which is far more useful than a few handful of tablet optimized apps.. coming from a nexus 7 16gb user.....I also own a ipad 3 use the tablet first and then talk

  • srsly? WTH in terms of design yes. it looked a BIT different form other iProducts, but shit, dafuq was the resolution? a hundred and sxty two pxel per inch? text wont be as clear as it is in nexus 7 or other iproducts. this one sucks. the only ups it got from ipad 2 is got siri, but google now is availble now on iOs so its no diff from ipad 2 now. the prcsor its just the same. wth hell happend to apple lol. PS: if someone will tell me that i'm blah blah stupid and etc. pls make a knowledgeable point :)

  • better than note 2. i buy it!

  • sold out global :( damn, I guess I will wait.

  • Way over priced like all Apple products.

  • No it cannot call its a tablet if you want to call buy an iPhone.

  • Very Excellent iPad

  • I agree with u

  • does ipad mini can call anyone with sim card ?

  • already back ordered :(. That was fast.

  • They just switched numbers 9.7->7.9

  • Best device in the iPad lineup I've ever come across.

  • nothing wrong to them, it is just in u Apple device may have 512 mb of ram and can still run faster than Android one with more than 1 gig of ram, you know why, because its hardware and software are made for each other and every aspect has been taken into consideration if u have a field experience, u can testify to these findings

  • Most of people who bought iPad 3 won't buy iPad mini, not due to the cost, due to ergonomics, once got used with a large retina screen, won't move to worse. But who couln't afford a new iPad large screen, would definitely try to buy the mini iPad.

  • ipad mini pre orders anywhere from 5 million to 10 million world wide.

  • The sad thing about this product is that they didn't make the screen a retina display when they could have done so easily. Also, the earpods are not included in the box. Still thinking twice about which product to buy: this or the iTouch 5th Gen. Though clearly, the only advantage iPad Mini has over iTouch is the 7.9" display.

  • unfortunately those tablets don't have ios applications. Price is not in the question right now. Android tablets are just..... crap in general. NO offence.

  • stable OS? are you friggin kidding me? what are you living in year 2009?

  • why is the pixel density too loo on this ipad?

  • BB PlayBook WIFI vs Ipad Mini WIFI Quite closed Specs

  • no sim 3g / better to go samsung

  • This sexy device got dual cameras with 5 megapixel. Does your nexus have the same cameras? this is going to run stable iOS, what about urs?

  • Only 512 mb of ram and it's over $300. i think something is very wrong with people who buy this product. If somebody really buys this it's like throwing money. Every 7inch tablet has at least 1gb of ram since almost 2 years now.

  • This just shows that Apple is going nowhere without Steve Jobs. Tim Cook and company are basically going to run Apple to the ground at maximum speed.

  • ilove mini

  • Actual size comparison of iPad Mini and Google Nexus 7

  • nexus 7 is better in everyterm! better display moire capable free open os, true hd resolution , 3G and 32GB are coming soon for only 99$ also ! nexus 7 all the way

  • Your loss. You have limited yourself by some self-induced ideology, when Google themselves give their employees Apple MacBooks lol. Android fanboys are the new brainwashed.

  • No.. cant register the same number for more than one device

  • Such a pity its made by Apple, Wouldn't be seen dead with one. Good device with some nice feature though

  • ipad mini without anti scratch gorilla glass!? Shame on apple

  • Wow ,Apple i-Pad are great , fascinating and beyond my expectation . Most of the time, my chidren who used my i-Pad 3 loved it so much .They have their wonderful time playing games and closed to each other .i-Pad 3 is a great creation for our future generation in learning science and new technology and getting their mindset to new creation and innovations . Keep it up , Apple. May god bless our late Steve Job and his excellent team .Thanks .

  • No flash for the camera?

  • I don't get you apple haters. Apple haters "made in China, its junk, bad quality." other apple hater when ip4 and mini ipad gets released. "They have other made in china tablets with equal specs for far much cheaper price." WTF!!! apple haters. lol!!!!

  • I'm so happy Apple didn't focus on *specs*, as some haters has pointed out that there are some inferior android devices with higher *specs*. Apple has their reason, and at this point, *specs* is not an issue, but liability, quality, and overall usage. They focused on the product itself, if its not necessary to jack up it's *specs* its pointless. Dumb apple haters "blah blah blah, but this android device have better specs blah blah blah, not as good screen* go away. Ios >>>>>>>> android applications. There is bound to be some dumb company that will make an android tablet with higher specs no matter what specs they put into their device., this is beyond's apple's control so they just focus on product rather then whats out there. I expect this product to dominate the smaller tablet industry, just like their ipad line of products.

  • Ipad 2 16gb wifi= 399$ Ipad mini 16gb wifi= 329$ N both have similiar spec Beside pixel density n screen size.

  • true. have experienced tat

  • Man this ipad mini 16gb price just around 329$ and new ipod touch 32gb 299$. So should ipod drop price to 249$ n ipad mini to 299$ it'd be more sweet to consumers.

  • Anyone tried WhatsApp on iPad with no SIM card? Can 2 devices share the same registered number?

  • iOS games and apps don't necesarily need quad core/battery hogging cpus. My Iphone 4S even plays Nova 3 better that SGS2

  • RAM is only 512 MB, processors dual core 1.0 GHz...this spec is for year 2010 era not year 2012.

  • yeah you can say your tab 2 has better screen. let me ask you how many times your tab2 logs on you especially when you have uploaded many apps on that thing. countless right? apple doesnt log at all even when theres a little amount of memory left on it, its still suprisingly fast. come on guys we all know no company will get near enough on apples apps and games in terms of graphics compared to loggy apps and ugly graphics of android. not to mention its crappy old ugly plastic build. if you own any android and apples products youll know what i mean!!!!

  • Please dont give advices to the other people which is better.Everybody decide for himself.

  • Dude for ios it's better enough...u go to the tab market and see how many of the tablets go for a big hit...but iPad does always...all the others compromise in some way or the other,,,,,,i think u have to learn a lot about gadgets...for wp phones and iOS even a 800 MHz processor will get it smooth..but for ur android u need1.5,1.7 ghz.....but only for multitasking does apple give the powerful processors...and ur android low end phones......look how they lagg behind...only the high end phones do well....

  • Please dont give advices to the other people which is better.Everybody decide for himself.

  • i will surely buy ipad mini this is better and more portable thand the big IPAD

  • Are you kidding? This tablet has nothing more then other tablets of its class. 512mb of ram!!!?? 1ghz processor dual core!!!??? Open your eyes people there are tablets in market with quad core processors and 2gb of ram and way better display. I understand now why apple sells so much.

  • It's worse than Chinese tablets, except the camera. Please do not buy Apple just because the name is Apple. Check and compare the specifications. Why do you give twice the money for the name itself. I'm using Chinese made tablet and Japanese phone.

  • i am not apple fanboy. But i have to accept that IPADs are better 10 times than the android tab. Especially this ipad mini has changed my mind and i am going to have this lovely slate. But in the case of phones, SAmsung GAlaxy S3 is better than iphone5.

  • not for me - I don't see mywelf holding this pad comfortably. Its light, but my thumbs would immediately cover the screen. Not sure if this form factor fits into a jacket pocket...

  • This is what i've been waiting for.

  • still nexus 7 better

  • I can see this ipad mini have a SIRI, is it Real,,???

  • 7.9 inch display with such a poor PPI??? what happened to you Apple... such a shame...

  • just more apple juice to drink...

  • Screen looks good with about 162 pixel. But memory is only 512Mb?

  • A5 processor with low ppi screen? Apple are you recycling your left overs from ipad2? Nexus7 is a better choice.

  • Wi-Fi is very speed

  • I was kinda disappointed looking at 1024*768 px when competitors are equipped with 1280*800. However I like the slim profile of mini and most importantly the thickness of the device 0.28 inches (nexus boasts 0.41 inches) and light weight body is certainly the deal maker.

  • looks great from optus

  • 2nd. Me too. I wouldn't mind getting one 64G!

  • great!!!

  • bad resolution.... I don't need it... thx

  • does this have siri? it is priced very high when google nexus and kindle fire is available for 199$.

  • love the design but why still no java in it ?
