Our take on the iPad mini 7.9-inches (2019) 5th gen 256 GB - Wi-Fi + 4G - Gold

The iPad mini 5 is Apple's 2019 small tablet, with a 7.9-inch Retina display at 2048 x 1536, the A12 Bionic chip and 3 GB of RAM. It is the last mini with a headphone jack and the only one that works with the first-generation Apple Pencil. It suits readers, note-takers and travelers who want a light one-hand tablet; against the iPad mini 6 it gives up the larger edge-to-edge screen, USB-C and newer chip, but keeps the home button, Touch ID and a lower entry point. Owners like its size and battery life; the main complaints are the dated design and the 4G model's carrier lock quirks.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad mini 5 still worth buying?
Yes for reading, notes, streaming and light games. It is slower than the mini 6 and lacks USB-C, so skip it if you need heavy multitasking or the newest Pencil.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
Yes, with the first-generation Apple Pencil only. The second-generation Pencil does not pair with this model.
How does it compare with the iPad mini 6?
The mini 6 has a larger 8.3-inch edge-to-edge screen, the A15 chip, USB-C and Pencil 2 support. The mini 5 keeps the home button, headphone jack and Lightning port.
Is the 4G model unlocked?
It is sold as unlocked with dual SIM support, but check the carrier bands you need before relying on cellular data.
What is in the box?
A power adapter and a charging cable. The Apple Pencil and any case are sold separately.
How much storage does it have?
256 GB, with 3 GB of RAM. That is enough for offline video, books and apps without constant cleanup.
