The iPad mini is the most portable iPad Apple has ever made. It’s 8.3 inches diagonal, making it easier to fit into a purse or coat pocket, and lighter than most tablets of other brands.
The iPad mini (2021) also has a better display than its predecessor, with a higher resolution, a wider color gamut, and TrueTone tech for adapting the color of the screen to match ambient light conditions.
This iPad has a very fast processor for its size class, allowing it to run apps just as quickly as a larger iPad.
And it can run iPhone apps as well, which is handy at times–though you won’t get the full benefit of those apps on the smaller screen.
The iPad mini is a great option for anyone who wants an 8.3-inch tablet that can still run the latest apps and games.
Apple’s new A15 Bionic chip is fast enough to run most of the apps you’d want on an iPad, while that 8.3-inch display makes it easy to use with just one hand or in tight spaces.
It’s also got Apple Pencil support, so you can take notes or draw on your iPad mini, and it supports the first-gen Apple Pencil.
