The iPad’s gorgeous 8.3-inch liquid retina display makes colors look saturated and rich, so watching videos becomes a more immersive experience. Plus, the tablet’s True Tone feature adjusts the display to the color temperature of the room, making viewing more comfortable in any kind of light. The A17 chip provides a great boost in performance for activities like gaming, and the impressive battery life ensures that you’ll have enough juice to keep up the entertainment. It also has a stunning 12 megapixel wide back camera that can capture photos and 4K videos to make sure every precious memory is recorded.
Managing editor Eric Zeman awarded it an “Excellent” rating. In our Apple iPad mini (2024) review, he said, “The iPad mini is more powerful than ever thanks to its A17 Pro chip and ability to handle Apple Intelligence, but many other aspects of the tablet remain the same.”

The Apple Pencil Pro is an amazing stylus for artists and students (or anyone else) to use with the iPad. The new squeeze gesture is helpful for artists, and the haptic feedback feels responsive to help confirm actions. If you lose or misplace your Apple Pencil Pro, you can use Apple’s Find My network to track it down and retrieve it. While this stylus only works with the latest iPads, particularly the ones with M2, M3, M4, and M5 chips, along with the iPad mini (A17 Pro), it’s by far the best stylus.
Managing editor Eric Zeman awarded it an “Outstanding” rating. In our Apple Pencil Pro review, he said, “The Apple Pencil Pro is the stylus that serious artists and creators should get for the latest iPad Pro or iPad Air thanks to its advanced writing features and controls.”
