There's no way to expand the storage space with a MicroSD card slot
We always liked the iPad mini (2019) as it offered excellent performance and value for money if you wanted a smaller iPad. It's still a great product, but the new design and upgraded capabilities of the iPad mini (2021) do signal a step forward for the fo...

Originally, the iPad mini was a small, cheap games and media machine – ideal for kids or a bit of sofa browsing. Limited versatility from the screen size wasn't a problem, especially before iOS had proper multitasking.This new version has hardware geared...

The iPad mini (2019) is the best small tablet to carry one-handed, even if its design hasn't changed in any significant way from the iPad mini 4 more than three and a half years ago. Its 7.9-inch screen is a familiar, albeit unbeatable way to read and wat...

Though Apple has done the bare minimum to update the iPad mini, it remains a lovely device and perhaps the last hurrah for small tablets before foldable phones iron out their display wrinkles and potentially render such tablets redundant...
Abstract: Like a pocket Moleskine, 2019’s iPad mini isn’t ideally sized for drawing – but it might be your perfect travelling companion. Sometimes smaller is better. While most of us at any given moment would prefer to sketch, draw or paint on a surface large enou...

Outwardly, the new iPad Mini doesn't look like much of a departure from its predecessor, and even some of its improvements, including to the camera and touchscreen pencil, will be wasted on those who use it purely as a media consumption device.But both th...
The iPad mini lives on in a very capable package that includes the blazingly fast A12 chip. It's the cheapest hardware with Apple's latest processor.The ageing design is a downside, but this iPad design is a certified classic and we don't think it'll put...
