Tablet · Apple · 2024
The Apple iPad mini (2024) 128GB is Apple's 2024 tablet featuring a 8.3 inches, 203.9 cm2 (~77.4% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Apple A17 Pro (3 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5078 mAh battery. At AED 2,100 in the UAE and ₹48,999 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The iPad mini (2024) excels with its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display at 120Hz ProMotion, delivering buttery scrolling and precise Apple Pencil tracking on an LCD panel unmatched in its class. Powered by the A17 Pro chip, it handles multitasking and creative apps like Procreate or LumaFusion with desktop-grade speed. Its compact form fits one-handed use, making it perfect for note-takers on crowded metro rides or sketch artists needing portability without sacrificing screen precision. The 12MP rear camera is adequate but not a strength. Its real limitation is battery life: despite the 5078 mAh cell, heavy use drains it in under 8 hours, and Apple Pencil Pro costs extra. In UAE at AED 2100, it’s worth it because no other tablet under AED 2500 offers this blend of speed, screen, and stylus precision. In India at ₹48999, it’s overpriced — competing Android tablets offer similar performance with larger screens and faster charging for less.
