Apple finally updated the iPad Mini â here's how much the new and old model cost
At a glance, the new iPad Mini 5 looks almost exactly like its predecessor.
Under the hood, though, it sports a few improvements: It now supports the Apple Pencil, so you can use your tablet like a notepad to write and draw. It also boasts a new A12 Bionic chip, which delivers snappier performance than the Mini 4's older A8 chipset.
The iPad Mini 5 is available with either Wi-Fi and cellular LTE connectivity or with Wi-Fi only. Whereas the Mini 4 is only available now with 128GB of storage, you've got a choice of either 64 or 256GB of internal storage with the Mini 5. This gives you a few more options at different price points.
Because it has improved hardware and was just released, the new Mini is naturally going to be more expensive the older Mini 4. Prices start at around $400 for the basic 64GB model.
This is the one you should buy.
