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.

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.

Apple has got a winner with the ipad mini. It’s powerful and portable enough to take anywhere with you and actually get WORK done. Don’t let that small screen fool you! you’ll adapt to it in no time and find that its more than enough for 95% of your needs. in-fact, despite its small screen size, its been a great sketch book for me. now with the apple pencil support, hobbyist artist will reach for this more often than a larger device. I’ll unequivocally say that this is the best price to value device from apple ever! and yes, that includes the iphone.

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

This IPad is such a huge improvement over my old IPad which was 5+ years old. Would highly recommend it.

This is our second ipad mini and 4th ipad model over the past 12 years. They only seem to get better! We’re very happy with our purchase.

This is a nice little device, smaller than the full-sized iPad Air, less bulky – even fits in the pocket of my jeans, but still with a quite large screen. I like it a lot.

B&Delivered the IPAD in the blink of an eyelash. However, Apple seems to think customers must be up to THEIR standards. They include NO instructions. They do not include any information on what is in the box. You have to guess at what every button does. Their packaging can look like containers that MIGHT contain a easy start sheet. It took us a long time to get it up and running because of their requirement that customers thoroughly study their product before purchasing it. I, on the other hand, write thorough manuals for the products I manufacture.

Old iPad was a 1st generation and sorely needed an update. This has more memory a faster processor and a sharper screen.

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.

Just right – big enough to see stuff but fits in one hand or pocket

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

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

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