Four Colors and Landscape Stereo Speakers
The iPad mini comes in four beautiful colors. And the new landscape stereo speakers are great when you're watching a show by the pool or listening to your favorite playlist at the park.

Apple iPad mini Late 2021 Reviews

Security is Riciculous

By Joseph
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2023-07-29

Bought this to control my Sony Mirrorless camera. Second use, the device locked me out and would not accept the password. Security is poorly programmed as it took two hours of my time to try and straighten out. I am all for security, but much information on the apple support site was incorrect. Several fixes suggested by support did not work either. Had to enter my apple ID and passcode 4 times. I am an 18 year Mac user. I will never buy an iPad again. For the premium price, security should be more straightforward than this. Very bad taste in my mouth.

Perfect for trips and more

I love my iPad mini for trips, especially. Fits in my purse, able to read books, watch movies and tv shows, browse for shopping and more! Perfect when a laptop is too big or too heavy!

Great purchase!

Bought this for my sister. It is compact enough to fit in a purse, but large enough to enjoy a movie on. The picture quality is amazing as is the sound. She is very happy with her entertainment machine.

Beautiful Display and Great Sound.

The Perfect Size

By Terry

I've always loved the size of the iPad mini since buying the original in 2012. Over the years I've made due as apps, features, and apple support outpaced my original iPad mini which by default became a nice e-reader. Updating to the 6th generation revealed an amazing tool - everything i needed in a portable device which now integrates seamlessly with my desktop Mac and my iPhone.

B&H best place to find Tech items!

Our Tech company loves B&H. I always check first on B&H's website to search for the items we may need. They have a large selection of Audio/Visual items , and prices are good! Shipments are normally received within a couple of days.

Big improvement!

Moving from the 5th gen to this was more impressive than I thought it would be. Much better screen, faster, and more functionable. Anyone upgrading will notice the difference at first use.
