Apple's iPad mini might not, at first glance, seem like the obvious tablet choice for creatives. With its diminutive form factor and 8.3-inch display, this isn't quite the same digital art canvas as the likes of, say, the 13-inch iPad Air or iPad Pro. But with the launch of the iPad mini 7th generation this month, Apple has been keen to declare this the "full iPad experience" just in a smaller body – and after a few weeks of hands-on experience, I'd say the iPad mini 7 certainly makes a compelling case in that regard, making it a uniquely tiny fit for our best drawing tablets roundup.
The iPad mini 7th generation brings the A17 Bionic chip and Apple Pencil Pro support to its tiniest tablet. On the face of it, this is a minor upgrade from the iPad mini 6th generation, with no visual changes save for the addition of a couple of new colours. But there's a lot going on under the hood, making it a tantalising (and tote-able) option for creatives on the go.
