- Is the iPad Mini (2021) still worth buying?
- Yes, if you want a small tablet. The A15 chip still runs current iPadOS well, and USB-C keeps it compatible with modern accessories. If you need a bigger screen or a 120Hz display, the iPad Air is the better fit.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
- It works with the second-generation Apple Pencil, which attaches magnetically to the side to charge. The first-generation Pencil does not fit.
- How does it compare with the iPad Air?
- The Mini is smaller and lighter and uses the same class of chip, but the Air has a larger 10.9-inch screen, a Smart Connector for keyboards and a slightly faster M1 chip. Choose the Mini for portability, the Air for typing and drawing space.
- Is 256GB enough?
- For most people, yes. It holds large app libraries, offline video and photo edits with room to spare. There is no microSD slot, so buy the storage you expect to need.
- Does it have cellular?
- This version is Wi-Fi only. A cellular model exists separately, so check the listing if you need mobile data.

- The iPad Mini, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. No keyboard, pencil or case is included.
