The iPad mini (2024) is set to launch this week. The first reviews for the newest iPad are being published. There’s a lot of good — and some bad.
Early reviews of the iPad mini (2024), which Apple announced last week, are primarily favorable. They highlight the impressive performance of the A17 Pro chip and the device’s continued portability. Reviewers also appreciate the brighter display and support for the Apple Pencil Pro, which enhances precision for drawing and note-taking.
However, the design remains unchanged, with noticeable bezels around the display that feel somewhat dated compared to other modern tablets. A significant drawback for some users will be the need for more support from Apple keyboard accessories, which limits its productivity potential.
While the improved screen is a plus, some reviewers note that it still lacks more advanced display technology — like a 120Hz refresh rate — found in the iPad Pro models.
