The iPad Mini is a great device that is perfect for those who are looking for a smaller and more affordable option than the iPad. This device has a lot of the features of the larger iPad, but is much easier to use and carry around. It also has a much shorter battery life than the larger iPad, so it is best to avoid using this device if you can. However, if you need an affordable and small option for your iPad, then the iPad Mini is a great choice.
The 2021 iPad Mini with the base 64 GB capacity is now on sale for $399.99, a discount of $100 from the original price, and about $60 below the typical price. This model has an A15 Bionic chipset, giving it the same performance as the iPhone 13 series, paired with a USB Type-C port and a high-quality 8.3-inch screen. There’s also a Touch ID sensor on the top for biometric authentication.
The iPad Mini can do all the usual functionality you would expect from a premium tablet, like web browsing, playing games, streaming, and video calls. This model has an updated 12MP ultra-wide camera on the front with support for Center Stage, so if you move around while on a video call, the camera will follow and crop the video to fit you in. There’s also a 12MP camera on the back. The only real catch is that the smaller screen makes productivity work a bit harder — if you need a spacious split-screen workflow, this is not the iPad for you.
