WIREDExtremely sharp OLED display is gorgeous. 12 GB of memory. Finally waterproof. Nano-texture screen is a must for outdoor use. It’s smaller and lighter—perfect for one-handed use. Landscape webcam is better for video calls.TIREDToo expensive for a small tablet, even if it’s premium. Still no Face ID. No ProMotion 120-Hz refresh rate. OLED could be brighter.

Some thought it might be dead. Some thought it had no place in an iPhone Duo world. But the iPad Mini isn’t being put out to pasture—it’s getting a massive glow-up.
