The iPad mini (7th generation) is Apple's smallest tablet, with an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and the A17 Pro chip that also powers Apple Intelligence. This version adds 5G cellular alongside Wi-Fi 6E, so it works away from Wi-Fi. It suits people who want a one-hand tablet for reading, notes, sketching and travel rather than a laptop replacement. Against larger iPads it trades screen space for portability; against Android small tablets it offers the deeper app library and Apple Pencil Pro support, at a higher price.

Owners of the seventh-generation iPad mini praise its speed, light weight and one-hand size, and call it the best small tablet for reading and notes. The most common complaints are the 60Hz refresh rate and the modest brightness of the display.
The iPad mini (7th generation) is a compact tablet with an all-screen design and an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display. Its thin, light enclosure is made from 100 percent recycled aluminum. This model has 512GB of storage and Wi-Fi + Cellular, in Starlight.
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 chip supports Apple Intelligence, and the power-efficient design gives all-day battery life. It runs iPadOS 18.
It connects over 5G cellular (data plan required) and Wi-Fi 6E, and cellular plans can be added with eSIM. 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.
