Our take on the Apple iPad mini Wi-Fi 256GB Nano-texture Glass - Midnight

This is the 2024 iPad mini with 256GB of storage, Wi-Fi only, in Midnight, and it is the first mini offered with Apple's nano-texture glass. That matte finish scatters reflections, so it stays readable under lamps and outdoors, and it adds a slight softness to fine text. The 8.3-inch screen, A17 Pro chip and Apple Pencil Pro support make it the smallest full-featured iPad. It suits readers, note-takers and frequent travelers who want one hand-sized device; against the standard iPad it is far more portable and faster, and against the iPad Air it gives up screen size and keyboard polish.

Questions and answers

Is the nano-texture glass worth choosing over the standard screen?
If you read outdoors or near bright windows, yes: it cuts glare and smudges noticeably. If you mostly watch video or edit photos in dim rooms, the standard glossy screen looks a little crisper.
How does it compare with the iPad Air?
The mini is smaller, lighter and easier to hold one-handed, while the Air has a larger screen and supports the Magic Keyboard. Both use Apple Pencil Pro and run the same apps.
Does it work with Apple Pencil Pro?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, including squeeze, barrel roll and haptic feedback, and it also works with the USB-C Apple Pencil.
How much storage do I actually get with 256GB?
About 240GB is usable after the system. That is plenty for offline video, games and photo libraries, and it leaves headroom for years of apps.
Is the 8.3-inch screen too small for work?
It handles notes, email and reading well, but split-screen multitasking is cramped. For long document or spreadsheet sessions, a larger iPad is more comfortable.
What is in the box?
The iPad mini, a USB-C charging cable and documentation. The power adapter and Apple Pencil are sold separately.
