The iPad mini remains the top compact tablet available

Ultimately, concerning the integrated camera, it is likely that your smartphone includes a superior camera compared to what is offered here. The camera is satisfactory, has undergone enhancements for improved performance, and benefits from Apple’s image recognition technology, resulting in quality photos, especially if you intend to take pictures using a tablet. It is highly suitable for video calls, naturally.

Additional Information

There is another aspect worth mentioning, which is the pricing. Similar to the situation in 2021, the basic model still carries a price tag of $499 (for Wi-Fi connectivity only; an additional $150 for the cellular variant), but now it ships with 128GB of storage instead of the previous 64GB; there are also options for 256GB and 512GB models. More storage is always advantageous, but it should be noted that Apple’s proprietary system necessitates a minimum of 4GB of space for its operation.

Is it a worthwhile purchase?

I have utilized iPads from the very beginning. Throughout this period, my preferences have somewhat centered around the iPad Air, which I believe strikes an excellent balance between performance and cost-effectiveness, and the iPad mini, which I highly regard for its inherent mobility, although I have always felt it could benefit from increased performance.
