Apple iPad mini review (2019): Still the best small tablet

 

It took Apple three years to update the iPad mini, and the improvements here mean the wait was mostly worth it. This time, Apple gave its small tablet the same performance as its flagship iPhone XS, an improved screen, and support for its Apple Pencil....

Plenty of power ; Solid battery life ; Improved display ; Finally has Apple Pencil support

This design was dated even the last time around ; Unexciting cameras ; Comes with a slow 12W charger

Apple iPad mini review: no competition

 

Sometimes smaller is better.

All the same specs as the larger iPad Air in a smaller size ; Solid performance ; Headphone jack ; Buying one sends market signal that not all devices have to be gigantic

Seven-year-old exterior design with huge bezels ; First-gen Apple Pencil ; Lightning port instead of USB-C

People really love the iPad mini, so Apple’s updated it with Pencil support and a fast new processor. It’s great.

Apple iPad mini (2019)

 

Apple's iPad mini is the only small, premium tablet you should consider buying right now.

Powerful processor. Solid screen. Broad LTE options. Apple Pencil support. Light and easy to carry.

Compatible Apple Pencil isn't the better model. Aging design.

This year's iPad mini and the new iPad Air ($499) are basically bigger and smaller versions of each other. Here's how it steps up: The existing $329 iPad (just called iPad) is for all of your basic tablet needs. The $399 iPad mini is for people who...

Apple iPad Mini 2019 review: A beloved classic with internal improvements and Apple Pencil support Review | ZDNet

 

It has a headphone jack, a Touch ID button, one camera on the back and one on the front, you don't have to think about battery life, and you can now use the Apple Pencil with it. If you want a small tablet, buy a new iPad Mini.

Diminutive size for a tablet ; Solid construction and simple design ; Lightning fast performance ; Apple Pencil support ; Long battery life ; 3.5mm headset jack

Large top and bottom bezels ; $130 cellular premium

Apple iPad Mini 5 review: Still worth buying in 2023?

 

The iPad Mini might seem like the odd man out in the iPad lineup, but it's still a fantastic small tablet in 2023.

Small and light

Why Would Anyone Buy an iPad Mini in 2019?

 

The iPad Mini is not the best tablet Apple makes (that's the 11-inch iPad Pro). It's not the good enough tablet either (that's the iPad Air). It's the awkward one. A little too small, but a little too big, and demanding a fairly radical change to how...

A mini tablet is great for books, and even movies.

iPad mini (2019) review: Petite, portable power

 

Apple's smallest tablet is back! It doesn't look much different than it did in 2015, but it's packing far better hardware. That makes all the difference.

Powerful A12 Bionic chip delivers remarkable performance ; Support for first-generation Apple Pencil ; Pleasantly portable size

Older design is starting to show its age

The exterior design of the iPad hasn't changed much since 2015, which means it doesn't have some of Apple's better recent tablet features. Still, the A12 Bionic chip packs a heavy punch and support for the first-gen Apple Pencil makes it a more...

2019 iPad mini review roundup: Four clear themes emerge …

 

The 2019 iPad mini reviews are out, and they are pretty consistent – with four clear themes emerging. First, this is an evolutionary device, not a revolutionary one. That's in large part because Apple wanted to hit the same price-point, one likely...

iPad mini (2019) review

 

If you're looking for the iPad mini 5, this is it. It's called the iPad mini (2019), and it's Apple's new best small tablet.

Perfect size to tote around Works with the Apple Pencil Surprisingly powerful specs

Unchanged, bezel-heavy design Uses the older Apple Pencil Costs more than the iPad 9.7

The iPad mini 2019 is Apple’s most totable iPad, and it’s deceptively powerful for its small size. It has a bright 7.9-inch display that works with the Apple Pencil and a chipset that smokes the small tablet competition. Its price is equally deceptive,...
