Our take on the Apple iPad Mini 7.9" A12, WiFi + Cellular, 64GB, 5th Generation

The iPad mini 5 is Apple's one-hand tablet, built around a 7.9-inch Retina display with True Tone and the A12 Bionic chip. It supports the first-generation Apple Pencil and adds Gigabit-class LTE on this cellular model. It suits readers, note-takers and travelers who want a small, light tablet. Against newer minis it has an older design with a home button and Touch ID, and the A12 is slower than the A15 and A17 Pro chips in later models. Owners rate it highly for portability and everyday speed.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad mini 5 still worth buying?
It is a good small tablet for reading, notes and light work. If you need the fastest chip or a modern all-screen design, a newer mini is the better fit.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
Yes, it supports the first-generation Apple Pencil. The second-generation Pencil does not work with it.
How does it compare with the iPad mini 6?
The mini 6 has a larger all-screen display, the A15 chip, USB-C and support for the second-generation Pencil. The mini 5 is smaller, lighter and uses Lightning.
Is the cellular model worth it?
It adds Gigabit-class LTE so you can stay online without Wi-Fi. If you mostly use it at home, the Wi-Fi-only model covers the same apps and screen.
What is in the box?
The iPad mini, a Lightning cable and a power adapter. The Apple Pencil is sold separately.
How much storage does the 64GB model hold?
About 64GB total, shared by apps, photos, video and system files. Heavy media users should expect to manage space or use cloud storage.
