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 256GB of data, and comes in a space gray 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 like the form factor of this product. For the daily use I gave it, is more than enough.

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.)

This is a great update to the mini 2. It’s the perfect size and snappy performance. The kids love them. I’ve ordered from B&H for years and they are great. Fast delivery and I’ve never had a problem with an order.

This is my 2nd purchase from B&H for Apple electronics. It is a great company! When I ordered the iPad, the first one I received did not work quite right. I contacted B&H, and they quickly processed my exchange. My previous iPad was the Mini 2, which lasted for several years. This one of course has some great upgrades. It has amazing clarity and is lightning fast. I primarily use it for reading and video and am highly satisfied with my purchase.

Works for what I had planned to use it for, a larger DJI drone screen.

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.

It is for my daughter, she just love it, absolutely a great product. I have a mini 3, this one is far better than previous versions, working fast, nicer display. Thanks for B&H’s fast shipping.

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.

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.

Bought it as a flight tool. The other models are just too big to be used on my lap or connected to the yoke. This little IPad has solid performance even under heavy workloads. Got the 4G to have the GPS capabilities, and 256Gb to be able to store data connected to flight apps. Extremely happy with the purchase.
