Hi e.t. The ipad mini uses the a12 chip.  I think the iphone 8 uses the a10 
chip.  HTH.

Simon,
    I like the mini 4 only because it is the only iPad I have used,
except for the mini 3. Just took a quick look at specs and prices. The
mini 5 might do well. I'm getring used to the BT keyboard which can
connect to up to 3 devices. And there is iCloud Drive so all devices can
share.

    Given the difference in cost between Pro and mini, I can live with
the mini. I don't know what chip the mini 4 has but my iPhone 8 has it
beat. :) Ok found the chip. Yes the mini 5 will almost match the iPhone
8. Close enough.

    Thanks Simon. Appreciate the overview.
