Featuring the A17 Pro chip and support for Apple Intelligence, the new iPad mini is designed to excel in productivity, creativity, and entertainment. Its ultraportable 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display offers vibrant visuals, perfect for gaming, design work, and everyday use.
Performance Powered by A17 Pro
The A17 Pro chip brings a significant upgrade from the previous A15 Bionic, with a 6-core CPU (two performance and four efficiency cores) delivering a 30% boost in speed.
The 5-core GPU offers 25% faster graphics performance, enabling users to run demanding applications, edit photos, and enjoy smooth AR experiences.
The iPad mini introduces hardware-accelerated ray tracing, making immersive games like Zenless Zone Zero more fluid and engaging on the go.
Apple Intelligence Integrated with iPadOS 18
The new iPad mini offers advanced AI capabilities through Apple Intelligence, deeply integrated into iPadOS 18.
These features include Writing Tools that assist with rewriting, summarizing, and proofreading across apps like Mail and Notes. Siri has richer language-understanding capabilities, follows commands naturally, and assists with tasks across third-party apps. ChatGPT integration allows users to tap into advanced language and image understanding capabilities directly within Siri without needing to switch apps.
Additional Apple Intelligence features, including Image Playground for creating playful images in moments, will roll out over the next several months.
The iPad’s Calculator app offers new ways to solve expressions using Apple Pencil, with support for basic and scientific calculations, history tracking, and unit conversions.
Math Notes allows users to type or write equations, instantly solve them, create variables, and generate graphs.
Integrated into the Notes app, Smart Script makes handwritten notes smoother, easier to edit, and more legible in real-time, enabling seamless transitions between handwriting and typed text.
Apple Intelligence balances privacy and performance through on-device processing and Private Cloud computing, ensuring users’ data stays secure while leveraging cloud resources when needed.
Enhanced Creativity with Apple Pencil Pro
The new iPad mini supports Apple Pencil Pro, offering a suite of intuitive features for designers, artists, and note-takers.
Users can switch tools with a simple squeeze, adjust brush orientation by rolling the pencil barrel, and use haptic feedback for seamless control. The Pencil pairs magnetically and charges wirelessly through the iPad mini’s magnetic interface. Users also benefit from hover support, previewing strokes before they are applied.
Advanced Camera System for Versatile Use
The 12MP rear camera with Smart HDR 4 ensures detailed, natural photos, while AI-powered scanning detects documents automatically through the Camera app.
The True Tone flash eliminates shadows for clear document capture. On the front, the 12MP Ultra Wide camera offers Center Stage, automatically adjusting to keep users in focus during video calls, making it ideal for virtual meetings and content creation.
Faster Connectivity and Seamless Mobility
The iPad mini now features Wi-Fi 6E, doubling wireless speeds, and supports 5G connectivity for on-the-go productivity. Cellular models use eSIM, enabling users to switch plans digitally without physical SIM cards. The USB-C port offers data transfers at speeds up to 10Gbps, ideal for importing large files and high-resolution media.
Storage and Battery Life
The iPad mini offers an all-day battery life, ensuring users stay productive throughout their day. It starts at 128GB of storage—double the capacity of the previous generation—providing ample space for apps, documents, and media.
