The cameras are also now a much more significant part of the device, with the pin-prick of an 8MP rear camera from the previous model now replaced by a 12MP shooter with True Tone flash. Peripherals Support for Apple Pencil (2nd generation)Ĭameras Front-facing 12MP, rear-facing 12MP

The fast-charging and universal USB-C port has replaced Apple’s previous penchant for the proprietary Lightning, and that makes for one less charger and cable to remember to put in your bag. Naturally, there are plenty of other more functional improvements to the build. This once again has that look and feel of a unique device rather than one that, if you rubbed off the Apple logo, could get lost in the line-up of small tablets from other manufacturers. That’s also aided no end by the squarer-cut, utility-chic styling, which compares very favourably to the love letter to chamfering that was the yester-generation. That might not sound like much – particularly when the new model is a tiny bit thicker too – but trimming the fat around the edge of the screen makes the whole thing feel a lot more compact and modern. That takes the screen up from 7.9 inches to 8.3 inches while actually reducing the length of the device by the best part of 8mm. The Touch ID fingerprint reader has moved to the power button on the side. The home button has been scrapped and the screen extended to more closely follow the edges of the diminutive slate, with a steady 9mm bezel running all the way around.

Apple has gone back to the drawing board for this, the sixth generation of the iPad Mini, and the result is a real triumph of design.
