Built with the same form factor as the iPad mini 4, but up to three time more processing power, the 7.9″ iPad mini from Apple has been upgraded with the A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine, a 7.9″ Retina display with True Tone, and Apple Pencil support, so you can sketch and jot down ideas as they come to you. This iPad mini is just 0.24″ thin, weighs 0.66 pounds, can store up to 64GB of data, and comes in a gold finish.
The tablet’s 7.9″ Retina Display features a native resolution of 2048 x 1536, showing over 3 million pixels at 326 ppi. It also features support for the P3 wide color gamut, an anti-reflective coating with 1.8% reflectivity, 500 cd/m2 brightness, and True Tone, which dynamically adjusts white balance for more natural looking images. The Retina Display’s capacitive touchscreen lets you utilize all the multi-touch gestures of iOS.
The mini is driven by Apple’s 64-bit A12 Bionic processor with Neural Engine, which allows it to use real-time machine learning to recognize patterns, make predictions, and learn from experience. All of this lets you run apps like Adobe Photoshop CC, experience augmented reality, or play games with immersive graphics.
Accompanied by the A12 chip is the M12 motion coprocessor, which measures the motion of the iPad via the accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope, and compass, lightening the load of the A12 Bionic chip and freeing it up to process multiple tasks while enabling it to maintain fast performance. The iPad mini may have the Retina Display, but it still manages to maintain its 10-hour battery life. That’s because the A12 chip isn’t just more powerful; it’s also more efficient.
The iPad mini comes with iOS and Touch ID. Designed for the iPad, iOS features News, enhanced multitasking, a shortcut bar, editing tools, updated multi-touch gestures, and more. Touch ID uses your fingerprint to unlock your device as well as make secure purchases in iTunes, iBooks, the App Store, and more via Apple Pay.
Thanks to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 5.0, the iPad mini can connect to your network and integrate with iCloud, so you can sync your iPad mini to your other iOS devices and Mac computers. Push photos, download apps, and continue from where you left off in iBooks with iCloud. iCloud also offers cloud storage so you can back up your contacts, photos, and important documents to Apple’s cloud servers. You can also restore your iPad mini to a previous state using iCloud.
This iPad comes preloaded with iOS. Please check your device settings for the latest available update.

This is our second ipad mini and 4th ipad model over the past 12 years. They only seem to get better! We’re very happy with our purchase.

The mini is sized just right. My magazine subscriptions are quite easily read. MY purchased videos/films look wonderful. PDF files are fine. My Office 365 subscription works fine. Works great with my iPhone hotspot that I use in hotels for security. Changing the device name was simple so my personal name is not tracked by Bluetooth where ever. I am delighted with the device.

This IPad is such a huge improvement over my old IPad which was 5+ years old. Would highly recommend it.

Peppy, responsive, and great LTE reception. We have used a number of tablets for driver dispatch, and this one leads the pack.

B&Delivered the IPAD in the blink of an eyelash. However, Apple seems to think customers must be up to THEIR standards. They include NO instructions. They do not include any information on what is in the box. You have to guess at what every button does. Their packaging can look like containers that MIGHT contain a easy start sheet. It took us a long time to get it up and running because of their requirement that customers thoroughly study their product before purchasing it. I, on the other hand, write thorough manuals for the products I manufacture.

Was lucky enough to be in nyc on a job and stopped by the Mecca of photography, lighting and computing, b & h. Sales person was well informed and completely happy to spend the time to answer my questions, my hands on demo of this little iPad mini with wireless and g-4 had me going home with it……very pleased with its lightning fast computing, and gorgeous Retina display…….and with the peace of mind the AppleCare offers, i am a very happy customer.

I have to admit I was a bit hesitant in buying a mini iPad thinking the screen would be a bit small for watching movies or browsing the web. It isn’t! It is sharp clear and just the right size to hold in one hand. Super fast and lightweight. It easily fits into my purse without any bulkiness! I am very happy with this mini.

Cannot depend on hotel or airport connectivity overseas. Using the iPhone hot spot only discharges the iPhone’s battery. This is my best option. Works as advertised.

I fly drones and need a screen bigger than a cell phone. The iPad mini works great for that purpose. I’ve been using a mini4, but when I saw that the 5 has almost 3X the computing power and I could get it with 256 gigs of memory I jumped. Brighter screen, no video lag or dropouts, and fits in the same Otterbox case as the 4, it’s a monster. Plus when I gig with it it has a dedicated 3.5 audio jack which adapts into my PA. This tablet is now my go to for both music and flight.

I use Garage Band a lot and this iPad makes it easy. Having a headphone jack makes life so much easier.

I bought a Mini I Pad from B & H but haven’t opened it yet because it’s a Christmas present for my wife. I’ve bought many items through B & H and I commend their great service.
