Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
With a 8.3-inch screen and a weight of around 293 g, Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro) Wi-Fi is easy to carry for reading and videos. It takes up less bag space than a large 12–13-inch tablet.
Apple A17 Pro is well suited to documents, video editing and drawing. Its headroom is useful in demanding apps, while browsing and streaming rarely need all that power.
Support for Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C) lets you take handwritten notes and annotate documents. Check the exact product code to see which pen and other accessories are included.
Apple lists a 19.3 Wh battery and up to 10 hours of video or Wi-Fi web browsing in its tests. Treat this as a light-use reference: games, high brightness and cellular data reduce runtime.
USB 3 (10 Gbit/s) is useful for large file transfers, and USB-C video output can connect a compatible monitor. You will need a suitable cable or adapter.
