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 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.

8 year old iPad quit working. Upgraded from 32 to this 256. Lots of improvements and memory! Shop B&H first.

I love the mini iPad. I would usually stay away from tablet type devices because my phone would do everything a tablet would do, but I needed something a bit bigger with more processing power for my daily social media/entertainment consumption, drone flying, finance and work related activities. The mini iPad gave me that edge of multitasking with multiple applications at once.

Alright, technically iPad Air mini since it has the exact same specs. Crunches through any Lightroom and Lumafusion tasks I throw at it, only issue is the slow SD card reader interface (usb 2?). Fits in my back pocket and fits in my kakis front pocket along with my 6s plus, Apple Pencil is legit despite 1st gen, higher pixel density than any other iPad, plenty loud, plenty bright, and makes me feel like a giant. Smart Cover is great if you’re a careful person.

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

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 use as a paperless alternative for calendar, journal and to wath videos. It’s very light and portable, but still fast. Great product.

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.

Love the size of the screen. Last tablet I bought was the Nexus 7 2013, I like the iPad mini a lot better bigger screen and faster. Was debating on whether I should go with the regular iPad but glad I didn’t this is the perfect size for me. Cost is higher than the iPad but the iPad mini has a newer processor and more storage.

I replaced an earlier Ipad mini – having cpu overload issues – DJI was taking almost all the memory to keep flying and I would have issues with freezes and lags..

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.

This is the first time that I shopped with B&H. I was so pleased and I will most definitely shop with them again and again. The price for my new mini I- Pad was lower than the ‘Big Stores’, the customer representative was courteous and knowledgeable . All my questions were answered. My I-pad arrived even sooner than expected. I’m so pleased !!! Thank you B&H
