The iPad mini 7 is our choice for the – partly because it is the only one. We gave it to you in our magazine.

The device has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display which, unfortunately, is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate. The lack of a Face ID sensor and one of the M series chips that are present in Apple’s flagship iPads are our other major disadvantages with it.

But it’s a solid tablet otherwise. The iPad mini 7 runs on the same chipset as the iPhone 15 Pro and Apple has doubled the base storage from the previous generation. It weighs 0.65 pounds, so you won’t have too much trouble holding it in one hand.

The Touch ID sensor is embedded in the power button, and there are stereo speakers and decent cameras (12MP on each side). Like almost every other Apple device these days, the iPad mini 7 has a USB-C port instead of a Lightning one. Speaking of which, the tablet should run for up to 10 hours before needing to be recharged. And although there is no cellular connection here, the iPad mini 7 supports Wi-Fi 6E.
