iPad mini 8.3" 2024, 7th gen.

Accessories for iPad mini 8.3-inch (2024, 7th generation)

iPad mini 7 is the 7th generation of Apple's compact tablet — the A17 Pro chip, Apple Intelligence support, Wi-Fi 6E and Apple Pencil Pro. The 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display makes it an ideal tablet for reading, notes and travel.

Compatibility with iPad mini 6

iPad mini 7 (2024) and iPad mini 6 (2021) have identical dimensions (195.4 x 134.8 x 6.3 mm). Cases and glass are interchangeable between both generations. Older iPad mini models (5th gen and earlier), however, have smaller 7.9-inch screens — accessories are not compatible.

Accessory types

• Smart case — tri-fold cover, magnetic sleep, stand function
• Back cases — slim protection for the back of the tablet
• 9H tempered glass — protection for the Liquid Retina display
• Matte paperlike films — a paper texture for Apple Pencil Pro
• Bluetooth keyboard cases — turn the mini tablet into a compact laptop

What to look out for

iPad mini 7 supports Apple Pencil Pro (magnetic attachment on the top edge). Make sure the case has a flat edge where the stylus attaches. The compact 8.3-inch size makes the iPad mini easy to hold in one hand — slim cases preserve this advantage.

Older generations: iPad mini 6 (2021), iPad mini 5 (2019). Larger tablets: iPad Air 11".
