Our take on the Apple iPad Mini, A17 Pro Chip, Wi-Fi, 256GB

The iPad Mini with the A17 Pro chip is Apple's smallest tablet, an 8.3-inch slate that weighs about 10.3 oz and runs iPadOS 18. It supports the Apple Pencil and USB-C at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, and it uses Touch ID in the top button instead of Face ID. The 256GB Wi-Fi model suits shoppers who want a fast, pocketable iPad and can live with a 60Hz screen and no memory card slot.
