The iPad mini 2024 clearly outperforms its predecessor model in terms of speed. One small but significant improvement is the ability to use the Pencil Pro stylus. Little has changed with the screen, but it was already really good on the 2021 model. Not so great: the more powerful processor has a negative impact on battery life.
