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.

If you already have the regular size i-pad, you might not find this product necessary, but I have the largest i-pad pro, so the i-pad mini aptly fills in, where the large i-pad would be cumbersom to use, such as on an airplane.

This Mini is used for storing and playing music files for my PianoDisc player and for FaceTime. It handles these tasks perfectly. I’d rather have any other color but this one was available. It’a white, not silver.

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.

IPadOS is a huge upgrade for the ipads. Adds some great new software features. The ability to use the Pencil 1 or the Logitech Crayon with the mini is epic for note taking or sketching. The device itself is light but sturdy. Screen is bright and the battery is great. Love it. Anyone who needs a tablet and thinks the regular iPad is too big should definitely go with a mini. Its rock solid and a great device to use.

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 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 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.

If you are looking for a tablet that is fast, reliable, thin and small, the iPad mini is the perfect one for you!

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.
