The Apple iPad mini (2024) is Apple’s latest mini tablet at the time of writing, pairing a compact screen with impressively high-end specs.
It has an 8.3-inch 1488 x 2266 display with around 327 pixels per inch, so its screen might be small, but it’s crisp too. And the iPad mini (2024) is a lightweight tablet all around, with a slim 6.3mm thick build and a weight of just 293g. It looks and feels good though, with an aluminium shell giving it that Apple quality you’d expect.
The iPad mini (2024) also has a powerful A17 Pro chipset (which you’ll also find in the iPhone 15 Pro) and 8GB of RAM. That gives it enough power to run Apple Intelligence, so you’ll get all of Apple’s AI goodies here, along with impressively speedy performance when playing high-end games and doing other demanding tasks.
The iPad mini (2024) runs iPadOS 18 too, so its software is up to date, and Apple typically supports its devices with software updates for a long time, so this shouldn’t feel dated for many years.
Plus, it has a generous storage capacity, so you’ll be able to download a large library of games and other apps, and thanks to 5G it has access to speedy data even when there’s no Wi-Fi available.
The iPad mini (2024) can also make it through up to 9 hours of web sur?ng using a mobile data network, so it should see you through even the longest journeys, and it has 12MP cameras on both the front and back – with the front camera having an ultra-wide field of view and supporting Apple’s ‘Centre Stage’ tech, which ensures you’re always centred in the camera frame as you move around during video calls.
