- Apple has launched the new iPad Mini, starting at $499 for the 128GB variant.
Apple has quietly launched a refresh of the iPad Mini. The new iPad Mini follows along the established looks of the older generation model but features the Apple A17 Pro chip that is used in the iPhone 15 Pro series. Thanks to this new chip, it also sports Apple Intelligence capabilities as and when the features go live. Of course, the new chip also brings in more raw power, with Apple claiming a performance increase of 30% for the CPU and 25% for the GPU compared to its predecessor.
Other new features include support for Apple Pencil Pro, which in turn brings features like pressure sensitivity, haptic feedback, and gesture controls. We also get Wi-Fi 6E support, faster USB-C data transfer, and an upgraded 12MP wide camera.
