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

The iPad Mini is Apple's smallest tablet, an 8.3-inch slate that weighs about 10.5 ounces and fits in one hand. It runs the A15 chip with 4GB of RAM, uses USB-C, supports the second-generation Apple Pencil, and comes in Wi-Fi and cellular versions with 5G. Reviewers like it as a pocketable reader, notepad and travel tablet; the main complaints are the 60Hz screen, the 64GB base storage and battery life that is merely average. Against the full-size iPad and iPad Air it gives up screen size and keyboard comfort but wins on portability.

What reviewers say

  • 4.7 / 5567 ratings

Owners rate it highly for its size, screen and build, and many call it the best small tablet available. Complaints center on the 60Hz display, the 64GB starting storage and battery life under heavy use.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the small, light body is the reason they pick it up more than a full-size tablet.
  • DisplayMixedThe screen is sharp and bright, but the 60Hz refresh rate feels less smooth than 120Hz rivals.
  • StorageCriticisedReviewers warn that 64GB fills quickly once apps, photos and offline video are added.
  • BatteryMixedBattery life is fine for reading and browsing but drops with gaming or heavy cellular use.
  • PerformancePraisedThe A15 chip handles apps, games and multitasking without noticeable slowdown.
  • TypingCriticisedThe small screen makes on-screen and keyboard-case typing cramped for long documents.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad Mini good for reading and notes?
Yes. Its size and weight make it comfortable to hold for long reading sessions, and it supports the second-generation Apple Pencil for handwriting and markup.
How does it compare with the iPad Air?
The Air has a larger screen and a faster M-series chip, while the Mini is far more portable. Choose the Mini for one-handed use and the Air for keyboard-heavy work.
Is 64GB enough?
For reading, browsing and streaming, yes. If you store photos, games or offline video, the 256GB version is the safer choice.
Does it work with a keyboard?
It supports Bluetooth keyboards, but Apple does not make a keyboard case for it, so typing is less comfortable than on larger iPads.
Does it have 5G?
The cellular version supports 5G and 4G with eSIM or a nano-SIM. The Wi-Fi version has no mobile data.
What is in the box?
The tablet, a USB-C cable and a power adapter. The Apple Pencil and any keyboard are sold separately.
