While the iPad mini5 supports iPadOS 26.x, given its age, repair should it be required might not be an economic proposition. Given that current models of iPad will offer significant improvements on both capability and performance, you might be wise in considering replacement of your mini5 with a much newer model.


For practical purposes, in lieu of repairing and returning your own iPad, Apple usually exchange the iPad for a renewed/refurbished iPad of the same model and specification. The cost of the exchange is the same as would otherwise be charged for repair. Unless you have benefit of an active AppleCare plan, an out-of-warranty repair while expensive will be somewhat less than the cost of a replacement iPad.


As for out-of-warranty repair costs, Apple offers a fixed-price price repair. You can verify eligibility and cost for your region/country here:

Only you can decide if repair is your preferred option.
