Tablet · Apple · 2024
The Apple iPad mini (2024) 256GB 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 2,350 in the UAE and ₹54,999 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The iPad mini (2024) excels with its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display at 60Hz, delivering sharp 327 ppi clarity on an LCD panel, paired with the A17 Pro chip’s hexa-core performance for seamless multitasking and Apple Pencil Pro support. It thrives for note-takers, sketch artists, and mobile creatives needing precision in a pocketable form. Its 12MP rear camera and 5G connectivity suit on-the-go professionals, but the battery life, while rated for 67 hours endurance, drains faster under sustained stylus or video use. The lack of ProMotion and OLED limits contrast depth compared to larger iPads. In UAE at AED 2350, it’s worth it because no other tablet offers this blend of portability, Pencil precision, and chip power at this size. In India at ₹54999, it’s overpriced — competing Android tablets deliver similar performance with larger screens and faster refresh rates for less.
