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.

I have been ordering from BnH for many years and I do not recall one bad experience. Superb web-site, fast order fulfillment, great products. Re. the iPad mini – what can I say that has not been already said. Just a note: This iPad mini 5 is replacing an iPad mini 2. So, we have gotten a lot of use out of it. The mini 2 battery was giving out – not holding its charge and getting too warm.

I wanted an iPad but I needed it to be small and portable for my work. Conventional iPads are too big and a cellphone is just too small. The iPad mini is just the perfect fit for my needs! It has a super clear screen and I just live how it handles! I am son glad I got this!

Exactly like the Mini4 except that it is faster, has a better display and can use the Apple pencil. Well worth the upgrade.

I am very happy with my new Mini iPad. It is light weight, fits easily into my purse, it is fast the screen is easy to read. Recommend it.

I went from a regular iPad to the mini so it would be more portable and I don’t regret it. There’s a little sacrifice of screen size, but it’s worth it. If you need to do a lot of typing on the screen I’d recommend the full size one, but for my use, this one is perfect.

I love my mini 4, but it’s a little long in the tooth for some of the apps I use. Bingo, along comes mini 5 addressing all those problems. Way more speed, great screen for both clarity and brightness, and with 256 gigs of memory it’s going to take a while to fill that up. I use this for my music apps and my flight apps, and I kept the 4 as a backup, but I doubt I’ll be needing it.

This iPad Mini is the same design as the pervious model (version 4), except it has a much faster processor and it’s compatible with the original Apple Pencil. This Mini includes a standard headphone plug and a Lightning port, like most iPads. Since it’s the same external design as the previous model, cases and screen protectors for that model fit perfectly on this one, too. So if you find items made for the iPad Mini 4, rest assured they will fit this version as well. (Don’t buy items for version 3 or below, as they won’t be a good fit.)

It was time to replace my iPad Air 2, I wanted something smaller and lighter. The iPad mini has the perfect size and weight.

Apple continues to improve a classic tablet with a faster processor, longer battery life and the ability to use the Apple Pencil. Add to these features the countless choices available in the App Store, and it’s another winner!

I was looking for an iPad for my husband to replace his old one. This is exactly the same size and he is thrilled with it.
