These represent the newest model of iPad Mini, having been refreshed in 2019 after three years of languishing in update Purgatory. It was a heck of an update, too, bringing just about all of the latest iPad tech to the Mini for the first time ever.
The iPad Mini offers a gorgeous 7.9-inch Retina display, which packs tons of pixels into the smaller screen real estate. The display also features True Tone to make it match the color temperature of the light around you, something even the baseline iPad lacks.
Another place the iPad Mini has a leg up on the standard iPad is the processor. Powering the iPad Mini is the more-than-capable A12 Bionic chip, which beats the A10 chip you’ll find in the standard iPad.
You also get a home button equipped with a TouchID sensor that lets you forego entering passwords. And unlike any previous iPad Mini, this one is compatible with the Apple Pencil, making it a great device for students, artists, and anyone who likes going hands-on.
All in all, the iPad Mini is a fully capable tablet that offers virtually no drawbacks compared to its larger siblings. This is the first time the Mini has ever been nearly so feature-complete. And since you can grab one now for the lowest price it’s ever been, why not?
