iPad mini 4 review: Is it still worth buying in 2023?

However, if used for applications or games that require high performance, the battery may run out quickly.

Even so, with battery life that is still quite good, the iPad mini 4 can still be relied upon for everyday use without the need to charge it frequently.

Other Features

Apart from the features mentioned above, the iPad mini 4 is also equipped with various advanced features such as Touch ID, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a fingerprint sensor.

iPad mini 4 also supports the first generation Apple Pencil, so users can write or draw with high precision on the iPad mini 4 screen.
