The iPad mini (7th generation) in Starlight is Apple's smallest full-power tablet — an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display built around the A17 Pro chip, the same silicon family used in the iPhone 15 Pro, so it's a genuinely capable, pocketable tablet rather than a scaled-down entry-level device. This is the 512GB Wi-Fi + Cellular configuration — adding built-in 5G (sub-6GHz) cellular with eSIM support for connectivity away from Wi-Fi. The 6-core CPU (2 performance and 4 efficiency cores) and 5-core GPU handle gaming, augmented-reality apps and everyday multitasking smoothly, and the mini supports Apple Pencil Pro for note-taking and sketching on the go. Its 2266-by-1488-pixel display (326 ppi) is bright and colour-accurate (True Tone, P3 wide colour), and well suited to reading, browsing and video in a genuinely one-handed form factor. A 12MP Wide rear camera (with 4K video) and a 12MP landscape Center Stage front camera cover photos and video calls, and Apple rates battery life at up to 10 hours of web browsing on Wi-Fi (9 hours on cellular). Touch ID is built into the top button. Model number A2995.
