Is it finally time for iPad mini 5th Gen users to lay their tablets to rest and upgrade to a compact and now more powerful tablet, such as the new iPad mini?Wi-Fi 6E support , Bluetooth 5.3, 5G supportThe iPad mini inherits the looks of the 6th Gen, meaning a wide display with thick bezels, no buttons at the front, and an aluminum frame with straight edges, only slightly rounded in the corners.
With its curved, iPhone 6-like body, thick top and bottom bezels at the front that are enough to land a jumbo jet, and hardware home button that also houses a Touch ID module. There's also the archaic Lightning port, making this one of the last iPads to feature Apple's proprietary standard. Meanwhile, the iPad mini 5th Gen boasts the aging 7nm Apple A12 chip. You are excused for not remembering where this one debuted, we had forgotten as well. It first made an appearance on the iPhone Xs, Xs Max, and the legendary iPhone XR. That's more than half a decade ago, so the difference in performance and efficiency should be more than palpable.
There's also support for Smart HDR 4, but we doubt this will have a grand effect on the image quality. Nothing spectacular on the camera front: it takes pictures and videos, but the quality won't wow you, period. Both tablets are rated for up to 10 hours of web browsing on Wi-Fi and up to 9 hours of browsing on cellular, but we'd like to put the new tablet through the paces of our battery tests before we come up with a verdict.It's pretty clear: if you love the iPad mini form factor and, due to one reason or another, are still rocking an iPad mini 5th Gen, then upgrading to the newer tablet is truly a no-brainer.
