The iPad mini (7th generation) is Apple's smallest tablet, with an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display in a thin recycled-aluminum body. The A17 Pro chip brings a 30 percent faster CPU, 25 percent faster graphics and a 2x faster Neural Engine than the previous mini, and it powers Apple Intelligence. This version adds 5G cellular alongside Wi-Fi 6E, so it works away from home. It suits people who want a one-hand tablet for reading, notes and travel; against full-size iPads it trades screen space for portability, and against Android small tablets it offers the deeper app and accessory ecosystem, including Apple Pencil Pro.

Owners of the seventh-generation mini praise the jump in speed and the addition of Apple Intelligence in the same pocketable size. Many say it is the best small tablet for reading and travel, though some find the screen small for heavy multitasking and note the display is not as bright as bigger iPads.
The Apple iPad mini (7th generation) is a compact tablet with an all-screen design and an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display. This model has 256GB of storage and Wi-Fi + Cellular, and it comes in Space Gray. The thin, light enclosure is made from 100 percent recycled aluminum.
It uses 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 tablet is designed for Apple Intelligence and runs iPadOS 18. Battery life is all-day, and it varies by use and settings.
It connects over 5G cellular (data plan required), Wi-Fi 6E, or eSIM, which lets you buy cellular data plans on the device. The USB-C port supports accessories such as cameras, hard drives, docks and external displays. Touch ID in the top button unlocks the tablet, logs in to apps and works with Apple Pay. It supports Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C), which are sold separately.
