Verdict

The 2024 iPad mini (A17 Pro) is an ultra-portable powerhouse featuring an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with a 2266-by-1488 resolution and 326 ppi. This cellular model supports 5G via eSIM and is powered by the A17 Pro chip with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, making it fully compatible with Apple Intelligence. Main pros include its compact, high-quality aluminum design, support for the Apple Pencil Pro with hover features, and significantly boosted performance for gaming and multitasking. However, it still uses a 60Hz refresh rate LCD rather than OLED, lacks Face ID, and retains a portrait-oriented front camera that is less ideal for landscape video calls.
