Our take on the Apple iPad Mini, 8.3-inch, Wi-Fi + Cellular, 64GB, Apple Intelligence Purple

The iPad Mini is Apple's smallest tablet, an 8.3-inch slab that weighs about 10.5 ounces and fits in a jacket pocket or a small bag. It runs the A15 chip, has a USB-C port, Touch ID in the top button, and a 12MP front camera with Center Stage. The 60Hz screen is the main compromise against the iPad Air and Pro, which refresh faster, and the 64GB base storage fills quickly. It suits people who read, take notes, and travel light more than people who want a laptop replacement.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad Mini worth it over the regular iPad?
The Mini is much smaller and lighter and uses a newer chip and USB-C, which suits handheld reading and travel. The regular iPad has a larger screen and a lower starting storage tier for less money, so pick it if screen size matters more than portability.
Is 64GB enough?
For reading, browsing, email and streaming, yes. If you keep many games, shoot lots of video or download movies offline, the next storage tier is the safer choice because there is no memory card slot.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
Yes, it supports the second-generation Apple Pencil, which attaches magnetically to the side to charge and pair. The original Apple Pencil does not work with this model.
Can I use it as a phone?
The cellular model takes a Nano-SIM or eSIM and handles data on 5G and LTE. It does not make regular phone calls, though you can use messaging and calling apps over data.
What is in the box?
The tablet, a USB-C charging cable and documentation. A charger and any keyboard or stylus are sold separately.
How does it compare with the iPad Air?
The Air has a larger 10.9-inch screen, the M-series chip and support for the Magic Keyboard. The Mini wins on portability and one-handed use; the Air wins on screen size and laptop-style accessories.
