Apple iPad mini A20 Pro review: the best small tablet but with a big price

All-round upgrades fit a bigger OLED screen in a smaller and lighter body with water resistance for first time

The new iPad mini takes Apple's fan-favourite tiny tablet and upgrades just about everything about it, including giving it a new OLED screen, serious performance, speakers embedded into the display and even water resistance, all with a big new price tag.

The eighth-generation iPad mini costs from 699 (749/$699/A$1,099), which is 200 or equivalent more than the original price of its predecessor as RAMageddon continues to bite. That makes it uncomfortably expensive, costing 270 more than the base model iPad (A16) and only 50 cheaper than the bigger 11in iPad Air M4.
