The iPad mini (7th generation) is Apple's smallest tablet, with an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, the A17 Pro chip and Apple Intelligence support. It adds Wi-Fi 6E and 5G cellular options, a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, USB-C and Touch ID in the top button. It suits people who want a full iPad that fits in a jacket pocket or a small bag, and it works with Apple Pencil Pro. Against larger iPads it gives up screen space and some multitasking room; against Android small tablets it offers stronger performance and a deeper app library.

Owners and reviewers treat the iPad mini as the best small tablet for reading, notes and travel, praising its size, screen and speed. Common complaints are the 60Hz display and the price of stepping up to more storage or cellular.
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 it is made from 100 percent recycled aluminum. This model has 256GB of storage and Wi-Fi + Cellular, and it is shown in blue.
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. It is designed for Apple Intelligence and runs iPadOS 18. The power-efficient design supports all-day battery life, which varies by use and settings.
The cellular model connects to 5G networks, and a data plan is required. Cellular data plans can be purchased on the iPad with eSIM, though not all carriers support it. It also has Wi-Fi 6E and a USB-C connector with up to 10Gbps throughput. Touch ID in the top button unlocks the iPad, logs in to apps and works with Apple Pay. It supports Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C), which are sold separately.
