Very sleek and buttons are easily accessible. The screen is very clear and the perfect mini size that I was looking for. At first, using the fingerprint reader to set up was a little difficult, but once you figure out the same position your fingerprint will be it's a piece of cake! The thinness of the iPad mini 3 is the perfect size to fit into your purse or backpack. The ios system is exactly like the iPhone, so this is perfect for Apple Product lovers! The only thing I wasn't really impressed with is the picture quality with both the rear and front camera lenses. I feel like the photo quality is pixelated and fuzzy. The screen is not too touch sensitive but not hard to swipe and switch screens either; perfect balance! I would highly recommend this iPad Mini 3, especially to use with a cellular SIM.

I am thrilled. I have owned and do own several other apple products and I went back and forth between this and a Kindle Fire but the reviews for the iPad are substantially better than the Kindle so I went for it, Higher cost and all. I am so not disappointed. It took only 24 hours to get here(thanks Amazon shipping) and I started loading it and messing around with it immediately. I wanted to give it a few days before I wrote my review and am even more pleased with it now than I was the day it got here. And believe me when I say I have put this device through it's paces in just 3 days. To be fair I have only own one other tablet like this device. It was an unbranded Android waste of plastic and metal the same size as the iPad mini 3 so to be absolutely clear perhaps my standards are lower than some other reviewers??? Maybe not though.Upsides?There are many.-It's fast. The first day I had a little concern because the TV shows I was adding were taking well over an hour to load each 1 hour episode but turns out it was my internet that was the problem as it has run as smooth as a baby's bottom ever since.-It's light. I have a big new 6 lb HP laptop that's great but that 6 lbs gets HEAVY after a couple hours. The thin and light iPad mini 3 is compact and light and when used with one of those cases that stands it up it is awesome.-easy access to iTunes and syncing with all Apple devices. This is maybe my favorite aspect other than the performance. ALL my devices are connected now.Downsides?-No sd card port without buying the separate adaptor. Good move Steve Jobs. You have to buy the device the the most space available that you'll need and use or buy an adaptor to use an sd card with it but I hear those are not very reliable plus the added issues of the bulkiness of the adaptor. More money for Apple I guess. I got the 64 gb version. Plenty room enough for me.-The cost is almost double what the Kindle Fire of similar design and capability costs but I think for quality you must pay more. So the cost may actually be more of an upside?? due to the performance.-Not being able to download entertainment files from amazon prime. -that is the biggy downside for me. I am a die hard Amazon Prime user and the app does not support downloads from Amazon at this time so unless you add it thru itunes or buy direct from the tunes store you can't download movies, etc.. from Prime. That is the only real bummer for me. But not enough to take away a star. Itunes has more than enough goodies for the avid user..To summarize, this was a great purchase and I would be more than happy to recommend an iPad mini 3 to my family and friends.

Okay, I can't give five stars because, well, it's five stars, right? I don't know whether I got the best deal EVER on the web, but this purchase (Apple iPad mini 3 MH3M2LL/A 128GB, Wi-Fi + Cellular, Silver 2014 Model) is very satisfactory. Product is packaged as new and works as advertised. I did have a problem when I installed a T-Mobile SIM card and attempted to register it for the advertised T-Mobile "Free Data for Life" plan, but it was just a complication of the complicated sign-up instructions, not the iPad Mini 3! (Once I took it to a local T-Mobile store, everything got worked out.) Very happy with seller.
