Our take on the Apple iPad mini (7th Generation) 128GB Wi-Fi + Cellular in Starlight MXPQ3LL/A

The seventh-generation iPad mini is Apple's smallest tablet, now with the A17 Pro chip and Apple Intelligence support. It keeps the 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, Touch ID in the top button and USB-C, and adds Wi-Fi 6E and 5G on this cellular model. It suits people who want a one-hand tablet for reading, notes and travel, and it is faster than the previous mini while staying smaller than any full-size iPad. Reviewers praise the size and speed but note the display still refreshes at 60Hz and accessories cost extra.

About the Apple iPad mini (7th Generation) 128GB Wi-Fi + Cellular in Starlight MXPQ3LL/A

The iPad mini (7th generation) is a compact tablet with an all-screen design and an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display. The enclosure is thin and light and is made from 100 percent recycled aluminum. This model has 128GB of storage and supports both Wi-Fi and cellular connections, in Starlight.

It runs on the A17 Pro chip, which has a 30 percent faster CPU, 25 percent faster graphics and a 2x faster Neural Engine than the previous-generation iPad mini. The chip powers Apple Intelligence, and the power-efficient design delivers all-day battery life. It runs iPadOS 18.

The cellular model connects to 5G networks, and cellular data plans can be purchased on the iPad with eSIM. Wi-Fi 6E is twice as fast. The USB-C port offers up to 10Gbps throughput and connects to accessories such as cameras, hard drives, docks and external displays up to 4K.

Questions and answers

Is the 7th-generation iPad mini worth it over the 6th generation?
Yes if you want Apple Intelligence, Wi-Fi 6E and the faster A17 Pro chip. The size, screen and design are otherwise very similar, so a 6th-generation mini still covers basic reading and streaming.
Does this iPad mini work with Apple Pencil Pro?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, including squeeze and barrel roll, and it also works with the USB-C Apple Pencil. Older Lightning Apple Pencils do not pair with it.
What is the battery life like?
Apple rates it for up to 10 hours of web browsing or video on Wi-Fi, and less on cellular. Owners report roughly a day of mixed reading and browsing.
Does the cellular model need a separate data plan?
Yes. The cellular model takes a nano-SIM or eSIM data plan from a carrier, sold separately. Without a plan it works like the Wi-Fi model.
What comes in the box?
The iPad mini, a USB-C charge cable and documentation. There is no power adapter and no Apple Pencil included.
Is the 8.3-inch screen big enough for note-taking?
It works well for handwritten notes and sketches with the Pencil. Split-screen multitasking is cramped compared with a full-size iPad.
Where is the Apple iPad mini (7th Generation) 128GB Wi-Fi + Cellular in Starlight MXPQ3LL/A cheapest?
