iPad mini 5 (2019) - Full Information, Tech Specs

The long awaited update on Apple’s iPad mini series was first introduced on March 18, 2019. With the device’s predecessor having come out as far back as 2015, surprisingly enough, the exterior of the new model remained almost identical to its 4th generation sibling. With the exception of screen size, the iPad mini 5 (2019) appears to be of extreme similarity to the released alongside it 10.5-inch iPad Air. Its 2048 x 1536 display makes the latest iPad mini Apple’s smallest tablet to date. The newest iPad mini remains the Touch ID Home button together with the headphone jack, still charging via Lightning, unlike the newest iPad Pro models requiring USB-C.
