Reasons To Buy

Big-screen attitude. Ultraportable design.

iPad mini has everything there is to love about iPad in a delightfully light, compact design. It features a 100 percent recycled aluminum enclosure and stunning all‑screen design, and it goes anywhere you go — fitting perfectly into a backpack or purse.

The 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display features True Tone, P3 wide color, and ultralow reflectivity, making text sharp and colors vivid, wherever you are.

iPad mini comes in four beautiful colors. And you can add a slim, lightweight Smart Folio cover in a complementary shade for front and back protection.

Apple Intelligence.Personal, private, powerful.

iPad mini is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps you express yourself and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data — not even Apple.

Writing Tools help you find just the right words and transform the way you communicate. Proofread your text, rewrite different versions until the tone is just right, and summarize selected text with a tap.

Apple Intelligence enables delightful ways to express yourself visually. Turn a rough sketch into a related image with Image Wand. And create new images based on descriptions, suggested concepts, and even a person from your Photos library with Image Playground.

Awareness of your personal context enables Siri to help you in ways that are unique to you. Can’t find that hike recommendation from a friend? Siri can help find what you’re looking for, without compromising your privacy.

Apple Intelligence protects your privacy at every step. It’s integrated through on‑device processing, so it’s aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information. And with groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger, Apple-designed server‑based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests while protecting your privacy.

A17 Pro chip. Pocket scientist.

The blazing-fast A17 Pro chip makes iPad mini a portable powerhouse. It enables Apple Intelligence and delivers a big boost in performance. The 16‑core Neural Engine is up to 2x faster than the previous generation. The 5‑core GPU brings advanced features like hardware‑accelerated ray tracing for graphically intense triple‑A games. And you can work, play, and create from anywhere with all‑day battery life.

Apple Pencil Pro. Engineered for limitless creativity.

Apple Pencil sets the standard for how drawing, painting, handwriting, and note‑taking should feel — intuitive, precise, and magical. All with pixel‑perfect precision, low latency, tilt sensitivity, and support for palm rejection. And now Apple Pencil Pro adds even more capabilities to bring your ideas to life like never before.

iPadOS and apps. Fun and done.

iPad mini is powered by iPadOS, enabling you to do so much, so easily. Get things done with the simplicity of Multi-Touch gestures, use multiple apps at once, and more.

iPadOS makes iPad mini even more versatile. Customize your Home Screen, clean up your handwriting with Smart Script, and use Apple Pencil to evaluate expressions and plot graphs in Math Notes.

The portable size and power of iPad mini make it indispensable for a wide range of uses, like mixing a beat with Logic Pro for iPad, jotting down your ideas in Notes, or planning a trip with ForeFlight. There are tons of apps designed just for iPad to make unique experiences possible.

Upload. Download. On the road.

Join superfast 5G wireless networks when you’re on the go. Download files, play multiplayer games, stream movies, check in with friends, and more.

Fast wireless connections are critical to getting things done. With superfast Wi-Fi on iPad mini, you can watch your favorite TV shows and movies or connect with coworkers from just about anywhere.

Connect and charge with the versatile USB-C port. Plug in accessories to make music, run your business, and more.

Ultra Wide camera. Ultrafun possibilities.

Whether you’re meeting with classmates or catching up with friends, Center Stage makes video calls more engaging. As you move around, the camera automatically pans to keep you centered in the frame. When others join or leave, the view expands or zooms in.

The Wide back camera features a 12MP sensor with Focus Pixels and a large aperture to deliver stunning photos and clear 4K video. And the new ISP in A17 Pro enables Smart HDR 4, for capturing images that are more detailed and more vivid than ever.

iPad mini delivers improved document scanning. The camera uses AI to detect a document. And with True Tone flash, if a shadow is in the way, it takes multiple images and stitches them together to create a high-quality scan without shadows or glare.
