Apple iPad mini 8.3-Inch 256GB Wi-Fi + Cellular Pink (2021)

Go Small to Go Great with the iPad mini

The engineers at Apple shrank down their newest tech in the latest update to create the most powerful iPad mini yet. Showcased in the 2021 September Apple Event, this tiny technology is the perfect device for students of any age, those who work from home, video streamers or anyone who might need a handheld screen (or an extra one). At just 8.3 inches and .66 lbs, this model is perfect for watching shows in bed or taking on the go. And with the built-in cellular/5G capabilities, you’ll be able to take the full capabilities of 5G connection with you anywhere you have service. Long road trips and train rides will be a breeze.

A Superpowered Processor

What’s different about the newest generation of the iPad mini? Apart from the nixed home button just like other newer Apple products, this device blasts past its 2019 predecessor with the upgraded A15 processor. This bionic chip is designed to handle heavy loads, whether you’re editing high-quality images in Photoshop or playing heavy-hitting games from the App store. Graphics load up to 80% faster, too. Pair your device with an Apple pencil to run through creative work quickly and immerse yourself completely in projects and content. Meanwhile, the upgraded front and rear camera make this device perfect for online meetings with Center Stage. As you shift and move, the Ultra-Wide camera adjusts to keep you centered in the frame. When someone else enters the frame, the camera pans out to give them room, too.
