Despite its compact size, the iPad Mini doesn't compromise on performance. This incredibly portable tablet measures 7.7" long, 5.3" wide, and a mere 0.25" thin. Its small form factor houses a stunning 8.3" Liquid Retina display with True Tone technology, P3 wide color gamut, and anti-reflective coating. Released in October 2024, this updated model boasts significant improvements: a more powerful A17 Pro chip, doubled base storage, faster Wi-Fi 6e, a USB-C port for faster charging, compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C), and future Apple Intelligence support.
