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 0.68 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. If you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, this iPad can also achieve network connectivity using integrated 4G LTE technology.
This iPad comes preloaded with iOS. Please check your device settings for the latest available update.

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.

I replaced my former iPad mini. I am a big fan of the size; this is my third mini. This one is speedy and works great. I have the pencil, but haven’t played with it much yet, but it seems like a great addition.

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 like the form factor of this product. For the daily use I gave it, is more than enough.

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.

Nice unit, hate to pay extra for a smaller size. 10.2 is a better buy if size isn’t an issue.
Jadyn Hermiston (verified owner) –
Exactly like the Mini4 except that it is faster, has a better display and can use the Apple pencil. Well worth the upgrade.

I have an 11 iPad Pro and it has become cumbersome for my surfing and lite duty uses which led me to buy the mini. I can’t be more pleased. I haven’t even turned on my larger one since receiving the mini. I am hoping Apple will come out with a mini with a reduced bevel like the pro, but just didn’t want to wait any longer! Such a great purchase and B&H was a fantastic shopping experience! Thanks guys!

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!

I’m enjoying the latest version of the iPad mini. It was delivered ahead of schedule in perfect condition. The price was competitive as well.

The iPad mini has an impossibly thin, light form factor. Screen quality is exceptional, and performance is snappy. For content consumption at home or on the go, this is a great device.
