Depending on your needs, this compact iPad may be the choice for you

The starting price of the iPad mini (2021) is £569/$499, that’s following a recent £90 price hike in the UK. We’ve already seen it discounted by as much as $100 at Amazon in the US, and some UK retailers are still selling it at the old price. In terms of specs, the latest mini model sports a larger 8.3-inch screen, 12MP front and back cameras, and the new A15 Bionic chip. Effectively, it’s more in line with what you would expect from an iPad Air, albeit in a much smaller form factor.
