Our take on the Apple iPad mini Wi-Fi 256GB Standard Glass - Starlight

The iPad mini is Apple's smallest tablet, built around an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and the A17 Pro chip. It is light enough to hold in one hand for reading, notes and games, yet runs the same iPadOS apps as the larger iPads. Against the iPad Air and base iPad it trades screen size and keyboard support for portability, and reviewers say the size is the point. The 256GB model suits people who keep a lot of apps, photos and offline video on the device.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad mini big enough for work?
It handles email, notes and documents, but the small screen makes split-screen multitasking tight. Most owners treat it as a companion device rather than a laptop replacement.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, which adds squeeze and barrel-roll gestures. The older second-generation Pencil does not attach to this model.
How does it compare with the iPad Air?
The Air has a larger screen and a keyboard case option, while the mini is far easier to hold and carry. Choose the mini for portability and the Air for typing and bigger apps.
Is 256GB enough?
For most people yes. It holds a large photo library, many games and offline video, and leaves room for updates. Heavy video editors may still want more.
What is in the box?
The iPad mini, a USB-C charging cable and documentation. The power adapter is sold separately.
