Apple has announced a new iPad Mini, the compact and stylish smaller sibling in the iPad family of tablets. Yet while it's smaller, it's definitely no slouch, with a whole range of features.
The major advancement of the new iPad Mini is the 6-core A17 Pro chip, bringing 30% faster CPU and 25% faster GPU, plus a 2x faster neural engine than the previous iPad Mini model. It's also ready for Apple Intelligence which will be available this month through an update to iPadOS 18.1.
The new iPad Mini also supports Wi-Fi 6E, with twice the performance than the previous generation, giving you a faster and more stable wireless connection.
