That leaves the mini most desirable for those who want a secondary note-taking tablet or need the smallest iPad in space-constrained applications where a £90 Android tablet won’t do. But the cheaper, larger 10.2in iPad offers much more for your money, and the bigger iPad Air is more useful as a computer replacement. It is better all round and built to last. I’m sure the original iPad mini’s many fans will love this reinvigorated version. It can even be used with the Apple Pencil, which turns it into a great digital Moleskine notebook replacement. The Centre Stage camera is super for video calls. It has a really powerful chip, solid 10-hour battery life, USB-C and iPadOS with a huge library of quality apps. The screen is excellent and big enough to be usable for most things despite the tablet’s almost-pocketable size.
The iPad mini is without doubt the best small tablet you can buy, but unlike most rivals at this size it is not a cheap machine.

The base model only has 64GB of storage, which will be fine if you mostly stream content and don’t install lots of large apps, but may be tight if you want to download lots of video or photos. The iPad mini does not have a smart connector for attaching a keyboard or other accessories, but can still be used with Bluetooth or USB-C keyboards. The screen exhibits a little of the so-called “jelly scroll” effect when used in portrait orientation, a problem common to larger touchscreen devices where one side of the screen reacts faster than the other when you drag your finger on it to scroll the page. The volume buttons switch directions when you rotate the tablet so that the top or right one always increases the volume. The quick notes feature is also particularly useful at this size, allowing you to jot down ideas or clip links, as you might with a paper notebook.īut it is the abundant app library that sets iPadOS above the competition, with everything from advanced learning and note-taking apps to desktop-class photo editors all available even on the mini.Īpple provides very long software support for its tablets, with some models receiving more than seven years of updates from release, meaning you can safely use them for longer. The new multitasking tools are significantly easier to use and, despite the small size of the screen, make using two apps side-by-side useful for things such as keeping an eye on fantasy football while watching the game. The iPad mini ships with iPadOS 15, which was released on Monday.
Two apps side-by-side are still useable at this size of screen, and a lot easier to access thanks to the additions made in iPadOS 15 this year.
