It finally said goodbye to the Home button, making the 4 sides of the device even. We now only have the Touch ID-enabled power button on the side. Initially, when we look at it, it will feel like a miniature iPad Air 4 rather than a later version of the iPad mini 5.

The maximum brightness of the device is also impressive – 520 nits, comfortably used in the sun.
The iPad’s refresh rate is 60Hz, only half that of the same launched this time. So the gaming experience may not be as satisfying. Although introduced as a “borderless” device, in fact the 4 edges are still thick, so it does not create an impressive sense of focus as many people expect.

In terms of battery, this mini version beats the older iPad Air 4 or rival Samsung Tab A7 Lite and is only about 1 hour behind the larger iPad Gen 9.
Small in size, but this iPad mini also supports the Apple Pencil 2. Currently, the device does not have its own keyboard, but we can completely look forward to future products or use devices from 3rd parties.
Camera

The main camera has a resolution of 12MP for good, clear and realistic image quality.
