The iPad Mini offers the smooth and familiar experience of iPadOS with just an 8-inch footprint. As well as being the best iPad for portability, it beats most similarly-sized Android tablet when it comes to performance and has a battery life of up to 10 hours.
It has a stunning 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display as well as a 12-megapixel camera, which can quickly scan documents, capture 4K video and will even keep you centered during video calls. It’s great for browsing, streaming, and reading, and its portable design makes it the perfect travel tablet.
Don’t discount its productivity chops, though. The sixth-gen iPad Mini is equipped with Apple’s advanced A15 Bionic chip, the same used on the iPhone 13, as well as 4GB of RAM. Its USB-C port makes it a versatile tablet when it comes to work tasks and support for Apple Pencil 2 opens up a world of creative possibilities. It has Wi-Fi 6 support for speedy web performance and offers all-day battery life (plus impressive standby time, so it won’t be dead every time you go to use it). It also boasts 5G support if you opt for one of the Wi-Fi and cellular models, which are on sale today too.
