![]() If you want to use your iPad for creative work (such as illustration, design, animation or music-making), the more powerful iPad Pro might be right for you. If children will be using them while you're out and about, you might need an iPad with enough juice to last a long-haul flight. In that case, maybe the standard iPad or iPad Air might be preferable.Īnd, closely related to this is battery life. Of course, you'll find bigger screens on other iPads, so the Mini might not be the best option for watching films and playing games for long periods. If you'll be taking it out and about, the Mini might be the best iPad for you, as it's smaller and more portable than its siblings. Read the full Apple iPad Mini 6 (2021) reviewĭo you go for the standard iPad? The thinner, lighter iPad Air? The big pocket-sized iPad Mini? Or do you spend big on an iPad Pro 12.9 with all the bells and whistles, and stunning cinematic potential?īefore you start browsing, think about what you want to do with an iPad. But that's the case with most portable devices, and not many pack such impressive abilities into such a small package. Talking of headphones, it lacks a 3.5mm jack, so you'll have to use either wireless headphones, those that connect via USB-C, or you'll need an adapter. Apple has put speakers on both ends of the tablet – a first for the Mini – which gives films a suitably cinematic scale when watching without headphones. The dynamic expression has really come on – partnered with the great sense of timing, it makes for quite a listen. But not only is the screen bigger, it's better too – the 500 nit LCD panel is less prone to light leakage than its predecessor, giving images more pop and punch.Īnd it sounds better as well. In fact, it will fit in some jacket pockets, thanks to its shrunken bezel, allowing more screen real estate in a miniature footprint. The 2021 iPad Mini has a slightly bigger screen than its predecessor, yet manages to stay nicely portable. But for most people, who want to a device a little bigger than their phone but without taking up too much space in their bag, the iPad Mini is the ideal companion.

If you're gaming, or only ever using your tablet at home, then fair enough. ![]() Though again, you won't hear any complaints from us. In the sound department, it's more of the same. There are some improvements with SDR and standard HDR, the new model's picture is notably better looking though. ![]() There’s a satisfying HDR punch too, and plenty of dramatic contrast. Motion is handled adeptly without any hint of active processing and blacks, while not OLED-inky, are plenty deep enough and packed with detail. The image is supremely authentic and natural, with an unquestionable colour balance, oodles of detail and crisp definition. The fourth-gen iPad Air that came before it scored a perfect five out of five in our review, so we're more than happy for this model to perform the same. Nothing has changed in terms of audio visual specs, but that's no bad thing. The intention is clearly to make the Air a sort of iPad Pro Lite that will satisfy the creative types for whom the full-fat Pro models are expensive overkill. That's a big deal, as the chip is also found in some of Apple's blazingly fast laptops. The latest iPad Air was the first Apple tablet to feature the firm's own M1 processor. If you’re willing to fork out for the latest top-end tech, Apple’s iPad Pro 12.9 is in a class of its own. Motion is also expertly handled, colours are luscious, and while highlights aren’t quite as bright as they could be, there’s plenty of detail within them.Īudio isn’t quite as impressive – we’d always recommend using a pair of headphones rather than the built-in speakers – but they project clearly with a decent level of detail and easily decipherable dialogue. The iPad Pro’s picture is exceptionally sharp and detailed, colours are supremely well-judged and delicately shaded, contrast is superb and blacks are both super-deep and insightful. On paper that means it’s a bit like having a flagship TV that’ll fit in your bag – and the reality isn’t far off either. Its 12.9-inch Mini LED display has a resolution of 2732 x 2048, which works out at 264 pixels per inch, and a full-screen brightness of 1000 nits. It’s certainly not for everyone, but if you’re looking for the best picture quality it’s definitely the one for you. Front-facing camera is in the ‘wrong’ placeĪpple’s biggest and most expensive iPad is also its most impressive.
