Apple Unveils Faster, More Powerful iPad Mini
Apple has just quietly updated its smallest tablet: the iPad Mini. Though it may look similar to the 2021 version, this new model packs a serious performance upgrade. Starting at $499, the Mini is available for pre-order now and launches next Wednesday.
The standout feature? The iPad Mini now runs on the A17 Pro chip, making it 30% faster with a 25% speed boost to graphics. It also doubles the speed of the Neural Engine, which is key for AI-driven tasks. With 128GB of storage in the base model and upgraded Wi-Fi 6E, it’s faster than ever for gaming and multitasking.
For creatives, the new model now supports the Apple Pencil Pro, offering precision drawing and note-taking. While the design hasn’t changed, Apple has introduced two new colors—purple and blue—that are subtle and understated.
This refresh is all about performance, unlike the major 2021 redesign. With AI gaining importance, Apple has geared the Mini for power, even including hardware-accelerated ray tracing for smoother gameplay.
The iPad Mini has always had a loyal, niche following—especially among pilots—but has often stood apart from the rest of Apple’s iPads. This update ensures it stays relevant, making it a powerful choice for anyone needing a compact yet robust tablet.
If you’re after big power in a small form, the new iPad Mini could be the ideal device. Small but mighty, it proves size doesn’t limit performance.
