Our take on the Apple iPad mini (7th Generation) 256GB Wi-Fi in Starlight MXND3LL/A

The iPad mini (7th generation) is Apple's smallest tablet, built around an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display in a thin recycled-aluminum body. The A17 Pro chip is a big step up from the previous mini, with a faster CPU, graphics and Neural Engine, and it powers Apple Intelligence. It adds Wi-Fi 6E, USB-C, Touch ID in the top button and support for Apple Pencil Pro. It suits people who want a light, pocketable tablet for reading, notes and travel, and it beats larger iPads on portability while giving up screen size and keyboard comfort.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad mini 7 worth it over the iPad mini 6?
Yes if you want more speed and Apple Intelligence. The A17 Pro chip is up to 30 percent faster on the CPU and 25 percent on graphics, and it adds Wi-Fi 6E and Apple Pencil Pro support. If you only read and browse, the older mini still does the job.
Does it work with Apple Pencil Pro?
Yes. The iPad mini 7 supports Apple Pencil Pro, including squeeze and barrel roll, as well as the USB-C Apple Pencil. Older Lightning-based Apple Pencils do not pair with it.
How big is the screen?
It has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 wide color, 500 nits and an antireflective coating. It is fully laminated, so there is no air gap between glass and display.
Is there a cellular version?
Yes, a 5G cellular model is sold alongside the Wi-Fi model. The Wi-Fi model needs a hotspot or Wi-Fi network for connectivity.
What is in the box?
The box contains the iPad mini, a USB-C charge cable and a 20W USB-C power adapter. The Apple Pencil and cases are sold separately.
Can it replace a laptop?
For light tasks like email, notes and reading, often yes. For long documents, spreadsheets or heavy multitasking, the small screen and lack of a keyboard connector make a larger iPad or laptop more comfortable.
