It had been a while. The last time Apple had refreshed the smallest iPad in its line-up, it seemed like a different era. The year 2015, to be precise. That was when the fourth generation iPad Mini was still rocking the charts.
The iPad Mini (2019) is small but its diminutive size is a huge part of its appeal. For a device this size, there is a lot of performance and an expanded user experience.
The new iPad Mini is the epitome of portability: less than 500 grams and 6.1 millimetres thin, making it easy to carry in one hand.
Lots of cool things combine to make a truly dazzling display. The 7.9-inch LED-backlit Multi-Touch display has over 3 million pixels for brilliant detail, while True Tone dynamically adjusts white balance so images look more natural and realistic in any light conditions.
The A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine delivers an astounding level of intelligence and power, with real-time machine learning recognising patterns, making predictions and learning from experience. All the power in the world is at your fingertips, so you can run apps like Adobe Photoshop CC, experience augmented reality, or play an immersive game with console-level graphics.
With iOS on the iPad mini, you can enjoy the full iPad experience on your compact device. That means running lots of apps at the same time, launching your favourite apps from the Dock, and dragging and dropping files using simple Multi-Touch gestures.
Use the Apple pencil on your iPad Mini to make notes, sign documents or fill out forms. Meanwhile the artist in you can draw, paint or sketch, anywhere you go.
You can use your iPad Mini for up to 10 hours on a single charge of the battery.

A mini tablet is great for books; and even movies
It feels a little cramped to use the pencil with
All the power of an iPad in an easier to tote around size.
The looks haven't changed, but under-the-skin improvements make the latest iPad Mini even better than before
Bright; punchy and vibrant; Lots of dark detail; Crisp sound
Blacks could be deeper; Speaker placement
Though Apple has done the bare minimum to update the iPad mini, it remains a lovely device and perhaps the last hurrah for small tablets before foldable phones iron out their display wrinkles and potentially render such tablets redundant.
Powerful A12 Bionic chip; improved display; excellent app ecosystem
Lack of design innovation; no fast charging out of the box; no new features
I swapped my old iPad mini 4 for this newer iPad mini 5th generation which is faster due to the upgraded A12 Bionic processor vs the older A8 and has improved features including Side car functionality which extends workspace from your computer to iPad with screen mirroring, a higher spec front...
When I decided to purchase a new tablet I sat down and did some research. I paid attention to what similar devices i owned before (Galaxy Tab 7", Surface 3, Kindle Paperwhite*) and how I used them. I also thought about what devices I currently own (iPhone XR, Asus Zenbook 13, Dell Inspiron 15).
Love it, size is handy. I use it mostly for reading via kindle app. Downloads are much faster than any tablet I have had, even faster than my 10.5 iPad Pro. It is a much handier size to carry and will get the most use.
I bought this for my fiancee who is loving the size of the tablet and how nice the screen is. It's super fast and light. Perfect for trips to watch downloaded movies on the plane and it's more convenient in size than the Ipad Pro I use.
Love the iPad mini it self, I wanted to go smaller the. my previous iPad plus I needed the additional space. The mini is lite and very easy to throw in a bag and go. I made the mistake in not paying attention that it was not cellular. I will try this one but sadly I will be looking for one that is.
