Best upgrade yet. iPad mini 2021 is a real gem. Speed is awesome, you write on screen using Apple Pencil and processor is incredibly fast, no lag in conversion to text and fully accurate, no typos. Touch ID is also faster and flawless. Screen is bright and sharp. CHarges with USB-C super fast only 1-2 hrs. Traded in my old iPad and for a small difference upgraded to the Mini., just do it!

I decided to change from an Air 4 over to a mini so I could have a more comfortable reading experience. So far it’s been perfect! The battery life is impressive and will last for days when used sparingly. I’m super happy I made the decision to go for it.

Best Buy's $100 off sale was hard to pass up so I went in and got this iPad Mini with Cellular and it is worth every penny.
A full ipad in power in half the size. It's the perfect size to take with you on the go without it being awkward to use on the fly. (See in photo comparison with the size of a credit card)
Cellular is so worth it -- true portable computer in your hand.
The pencil is a must accessory and I love the matte screen protector which makes it easier to write on and helps avoid glare

A:Locked means it's the service is tied to a particular cell service such as AT&T, Verizon, etc. Unlocked means you can use any GSM enabled carrier such as AT&T and TMobile using a SIM card.
A:If you activate it to use through a carrier, yes, you will need to have data plan for it. If you don't have it activated with a carrier, you can just use it like a Wi-Fi only model and won't need a data plan.
A:Yes it does, as long as you have a activated data sim or connected to wifi, it will work. I use it for the maps and some gps based games all the time.
