The iPad mini 2, released in 2013, offered a powerful A7 chip and a Retina display in a compact and portable form factor. Let’s see how this mini marvel holds up against the current tablet landscape in 2024:

Display

The iPad mini 2 features a 7.9-inch Retina display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. While the display offered good sharpness and color accuracy in its prime, the pixel density feels dated compared to newer iPad mini models. The bezels are thick by modern standards, and the display technology lacks features like True Tone and wider color gamut found in higher-end iPads.

Camera

The iPad mini 2 sports a 5MP rear camera and a 1.2MP FaceTime HD front camera. Photos taken with the rear camera in good lighting might be acceptable, but low-light performance is weak. The front camera is sufficient for basic video calls, but video quality is not impressive by today’s standards. Overall, the camera system is quite basic by 2024 standards.

Performance

The A7 chip powering the iPad mini 2 is significantly outmatched by modern processors. It struggles with demanding tasks like video editing, complex multitasking, or modern games with high graphics settings. While it can handle basic tasks like browsing the web, checking email, watching videos, and some light gaming, users might experience sluggishness and lag.

Battery

Similar to other iPads, Apple doesn’t disclose the official battery capacity of the iPad mini 2. However, it’s known for offering below-average battery life compared to newer tablets. It might require multiple charges throughout the day for moderate usage.

Storage

The iPad mini 2 came in three storage options: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. In 2024, all storage options are severely limiting with the ever-increasing size of apps, games, and media files. Even the 64GB option would fill up quickly for most users who store a lot of content.

Software

The iPad mini 2 originally launched with iOS 7, but has since been upgraded to iPadOS 12 (as of April 24, 2024). While Apple is known for providing long software support for its devices, iPadOS 12 is likely the latest version the iPad mini 2 can run. It has reached the end of software updates, potentially impacting security and access to the newest features.

Connectivity

The Wi-Fi model of the iPad mini 2 supports Wi-Fi 5 for internet access. A cellular model with LTE connectivity was also available for mobile data access on the go. Bluetooth 4.0 offers pairing with wireless headphones, speakers, and other devices.

Sound

The iPad mini 2 features stereo speakers located at the bottom of the device. The sound quality is adequate for casual listening, but it lacks the depth and separation found in the advanced speaker systems of newer iPad mini models.
