CNBC's Todd Haselton reviews the long-awaited Apple iPad Mini, a powerful but compact tablet that fans of the more compact form factor will love.
Apple's new iPad Mini was updated for the first time since 2015 with a new A12 processor and a better display.It's portable but still powerful enough to do pretty much everything that bigger iPads can do.
The new iPad Mini dramatically improves the components that matter most: the screen and the processor.The display on the iPad Mini is better than what's on the standard-sized iPad. It's laminated, which means the screen looks much clearer because there isn't a small air gap between the glass and the screen. It's also the sharpest on any iPad, which is required since the text and other content you're viewing on the screen is much smaller.
The battery life is good. Apple promises up to 10 hours of usage before you'll need to charge it again. I was able to get nearly 6 hours of screen time on the first day I tested — that's while the iPad was draining juice trying to download movies, apps, and other content I had backed up in the cloud. With normal usage, you should be able to get close to what Apple promises. Just expect that to dip if you're playing 3D games or streaming movies.
