Mini just got mightier.
iPad mini is beloved for its size and capability. And now there are even more reasons to love it. The A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine. A 7.9‑inch Retina display with True Tone. And Apple Pencil, so you can capture your biggest ideas wherever they come to you. It's still iPad mini. There's just more of it than ever.

- My review of the iPad Mini 2 in 2020 to see if it's still useful with iOS 12. Sit back, Relax, and Enjoy the show!
- 9.3.5 is the latest update available for the 1st gen iPad mini and 2nd gen iPad. IOS 10 isn't available. Even if it were, the hardware on those very old devices would not have the power to run.
Wait for the iPhone / iPad / iPod to finish the process. About iPhone / iPad / iPod Firmware: iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod Firmware) is a collection of firmware update files (IPSWs) for Apple's popular iPod and iPhone devices. The IPSW files provide a very quick method for updating the software on your iOS device via iTunes. To see the model and software version of your iPad, go to Settings General About. See Get information about your iPad. Your features and apps may vary depending on your iPad model, region, language, and carrier. To find out which features are supported in your region, see the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.

Performance
Power beyond its size.
The A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine enables a remarkable level of power and intelligence. It uses real-time machine learning to recognize patterns, make predictions, and learn from experience. With all this power, you can run apps like Adobe Photoshop CC,* experience augmented reality, or play an immersive game with console-level graphics.
Retina Display
It's not the size of the display. It's the quality of the pixel.
iPad mini packs over 3 million pixels into a 7.9‑inch display. And we made them all count. Whether you're reading in the park or editing video in your home office, the high brightness, wide color, and antireflective coating offer true-to-life detail and razor-sharp text. And True Tone dynamically adjusts white balance so images look natural in any light.
Cameras
Stay in touch.
Shoot in HD. Play in AR.
The front and back cameras in iPad mini let you take vivid photos and cinematic videos. But the fun doesn't stop there. Make FaceTime calls with friends, scan documents and mark them up, or even use augmented reality to plan out your living room decor.
Apple Pencil
Pencil meets mini.
Magic happens.
Apple Pencil opens up new possibilities for iPad mini.4 Together they turn iPad mini into your take-anywhere digital notebook. Jot down notes, sign documents, and fill out forms. Or capture your most creative ideas by drawing, painting, or sketching on the go.
iPadOS
Designed to help you get the most out of iPad.
iPadOS on iPad mini gives you the full iPad experience in the most compact iPad. Use multiple apps at once, launch your favorite apps from the Dock, and drag and drop files using simple Multi‑Touch gestures. Access your files all in one place with the Files app. And for tasks that require more precision, support for trackpad or mouse complements the familiar Multi-Touch experience of iPad.
