the iPad mini 7th generation. In this 2026 review, I share why this compact tablet remains my absolute favorite iPad ever and why I still highly recommend it for anyone looking to upgrade today. From casual reading with my afternoon Americano to heavy multitasking on the beautiful new iPadOS 26, this little powerhouse handles it all. We’ll discuss the A17 Pro chip's performance, how it holds up for 4K video editing on LumaFusion and CapCut, and the incredible AAA gaming experience on titles like Assassin's Creed Mirage, Genshin Impact, and PUBG Mobile. I’ll also give you my honest thoughts on the battery life, the LCD screen, and whether the lack of ProMotion is actually a dealbreaker for everyday use. If you are currently using an older iPad and wondering if it’s time to make the jump, or if you're just curious about how Apple Intelligence runs on this form factor, this video is for you!
