The screen is a bit different. It's still a laminated 7.9-inch LCD with 2,048 by 1,536 pixels. But this time around Apple adds True Tone, which changes the white point based on ambient light.
We measure screens using SpectraCal's CalMAN for Business software and a Klein K-80 colorimeter. The iPad mini showed 559 nits maximum brightness, which is noticeably brighter than older iPads, and almost exactly the same color accuracy as the fifth-generation iPad and the 11-inch iPad Pro. Apple tunes its screens very tightly. In all of their cases, blues and reds are absolutely spot-on, greens are just a touch desaturated, and yellows tend a little bit toward red. Compared with, say, Samsung's Galaxy S10 screens in Natural mode, colors have similar distances from their ideal but reds are more accurate.
