Apple has just launched the new iPad Mini, enhanced with the A17 Pro chip and integrated with Apple Intelligence. This tablet features an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and is available in four colours, two of which are new – blue and purple. The new model offers 128GB of storage, which is double what the previous iPad Mini models offer, better camera features, and all-day battery life.
iPad Mini 7 Specifications, Features
The new iPad Mini, packing the A17 Pro chip, offers a boost of 30% in CPU performance and 25% in the graphics. This chip, previously seen on the iPhone 15 Pro models, is designed to handle intensive gaming as well as multitasking.
Another highlight is the integration of Apple Intelligence, which leverages the A17 Pro chip and iPadOS 18 to further enhance smarter and more personalised user experience. Apple Intelligence applies generative models for capabilities like rewriting, summarising text, and finer integration with Siri. It enhances the Photos app into a suite of features that includes cleaning up unwanted objects from an image.
The camera system has been revised on the new iPad Mini. It has a new 12MP wide rear camera with Smart HDR 4 support, which captures more dynamic and lively photos, and is powered by machine learning to automatically identify documents for scanning. The 12MP ultra-wide front camera with Center Stage works seamlessly for smooth video calls, which makes the iPad Mini great for virtual meetings and content creation.
Like other iPad models, the new iPad Mini also comes with support for Pencil Pro. This functionality assists users with touch-sensitive precision controls, haptic feedback, and hover functions for drawing and taking notes.
