Apple’s smallest iPad has gotten its biggest update in years.

The new iPad mini features a much thinner and lighter design, a larger OLED display, water resistance, and the powerful A20 Pro chip.

The new iPad mini lives up to the “mini” name even more than its predecessor.

It’s significantly thinner, down from 6.3 mm on the previous iPad mini to 5.4 mm on the new model.

In fact, that puts it very close to the ultra‑thin iPad Pro and the unfolded iPhone Duo.

The new iPad mini is also significantly lighter, dropping from 293 grams to 255 grams.

The new iPad mini features an 8.5‑inch screen, a slight increase from the previous generation’s 8.3‑inch display.
