But while it may be small in stature, the new iPad mini remains pricey, costing from \u00a3499 (\u20ac599\/$499\/A$799), placing it in between the \u00a3329 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2022\/oct\/26\/apple-ipad-review-10th-gen\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">base-model iPad<\/a> and the \u00a3599 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/article\/2024\/may\/20\/ipad-air-m2-review-cheaper-apple-ipad-pro-for-rest-of-us-gets-bigger\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">11in iPad Air<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The new tablet looks like a smaller version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/ipad\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iPad<\/a> Air, keeping the same 8.9in LCD display as its predecessor, which is crisp, bright and with a low-glare coating to make it easier to use outdoors. The so-called \u201cjelly scroll\u201d screen effect seen when scrolling on its predecessor is improved but you can still see it if you look hard enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The tablet\u2019s great stereo speakers make the most of any videos or games.

tablet available by no small margin. It is unrivalled with its nearest competitors being a handful of cheap Android tablets or the new breed of super expensive folding phones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Its practically-pocketable size makes it easy to hold and fit in bags, while iPadOS provides plenty of apps for a wide range of uses, not just entertainment. Equipped with a \u00a3129 Apple Pencil Pro it is a particularly good, if expensive, paper notebook replacement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Not having the M-series chips used in the iPad Air and Pro models limits its multitasking capabilities while the bigger screen of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2022\/oct\/26\/apple-ipad-review-10th-gen\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cheaper 10th-gen iPad<\/a> makes it a better buy for most people just wanting an Apple entertainment device. It is not a dramatic upgrade over the 2021 model either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">With phones getting bigger and bigger, the iPad mini may seem redundant, but it is a particular favourite of journalists, pilots and those who need a highly capable, compact tablet that lasts a long time between charges. For all those people, the new A17 Pro iPad mini is almost perfect.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-w9py1s\">\n<p><strong class=\"dcr-in3yi3\">Pros:<\/strong> compact
