iPad mini 2021 is the refresh this form factor deserved.
Engadget
The iPad mini has been the best small tablet available for a while, and the 6th-generation continues to hold that top spot. The $499 slab looks and feels a bit different thanks to a much-needed design update, which includes an “all-screen” design with an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, a power button with TouchID, improved cameras that support Center Stage and USB-C charging. All of those updates, plus support for WiFi 6, 5G and the second-generation Apple Pencil, make the iPad mini feel like a shrunken version of the iPad Air. But the niche appeal of the mini remains -- it’s all about size for this iPad, and there isn’t a better option out there for those who know an 8-inch tablet will fill a void in their lives.

Apple’s two newest iPads get key upgrades and are among the most affordable. But one’s a safer bet than the other.

iPad Mini 2021 Review. A15 bionic chip is fast but it lacks the 120 Hz Promotion screen. Gaming and benchmarks.

It took a few years, but Apple loads up the all-new iPad mini with almost every piece of modern tech in their iPad lineup. Inside the new 8.3-inch body, lives an A15 Bionic, USB-C, Center Stage camera, and 2nd generation Apple Pencil support making it the best small tablet on the market
