We have another apple product releasing soon. Yes, Apple has the tendency to never take a break on creating and releasing new devices (or are they really new?). Even though all Apple’s devices have now been infamous for being the same as the previous ones especially mobile phones, we think its new creation is going to be different and more interesting this time. The new ipad mini 2024 is all set to be breaking the Apple stores all over the world.
So for everyone asking is there a new ipad mini coming out in 2024, good news!
According to the creators and some early reviews the new ipad mini 2024 has many different and interesting features and cannot be called the same as the previous mini ipad.
New iPad Mini 2024 Features
Apple today announced the new iPad Mini, which now comes with the A17 Pro chip and features Apple Intelligence, a new personal assistant that puts user context and privacy first.
The sixth-generation iPad Mini was last updated in 2021, so it’s likely Apple kept the same exterior design for this model. Inside, you’ll find an iPad Mini new screen, 3-inch with slim bezels and a 12-megapixel front camera, as well as a USB-C port that supports 10-Gbps data transfer speeds. The rear camera features a 12-megapixel sensor with Smart HDR 4 and improved document scanning features introduced in the M4-powered iPad Pro earlier this year. But the biggest upgrades are inside. Apple switched the processor from the A15 (in the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro) to the A17 Pro (also in the iPhone 15 Pro). With a six-core CPU, the new chip is said to increase CPU performance by 30 percent, while the five-core GPU is a 25 percent improvement over last generation. And the neural engine is doubled in speed.
The new chip will also let the iPad Mini take advantage of Apple Intelligence, a set of AI tools included in iOS 18. 1, making it the cheapest tablet in the lineup to do so. The others in the lineup are the fifth-generation M1 iPad Air, sixth-generation M2 iPad Air, fifth-generation M1 iPad Pro, sixth-generation M2 iPad Pro, and seventh-generation M4 iPad Pro. Some of the new features include Writing Tools, which help proofread text and adjust tone, and a Clean Up feature in Apple Photos to remove unwanted objects in background. Some features are coming in the coming months, like Image Playground, Genmoji, and Siri’s ChatGPT integration.
New iPad Mini also works with Apple Pencil Pro. Apple Pencil Pro is the most advanced stylus Apple makes, and it was released earlier this year. Squeeze opens a new tool palette, double-tap switches to last-used tool. A built-in gyroscope sensor gives you more control by adjusting tool orientation when you twist the pencil, and it supports Find My if you lose it. Until now Apple Pencil Pro only worked with the M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air, so this is the most affordable version to use with the stylus. A Smart Folio for the Mini is also sold separately for $59.
Apple has also increased the base storage capacity. Besides the basic 128 GB model, 256 GB and 512 GB configurations are also available. New colors include blue and purple, alongside Space Gray and Starlight.
But Apple has also improved battery life with a new battery for iPad Mini that should improve overall performance. The new iPad Mini is still the cheapest route to Apple Intelligence across all Apple devices unless you find an older iPad Air, Mac Mini, or iPhone 15 Pro at a discount. It’s also the cheapest way to use the Apple Pencil Pro if you’re a fan of its features. It’s a very important hardware upgrade and along with the iPad Mini new screen and new battery keeps the device compelling, especially for those who prefer a smaller size.
The new ipad mini be released on the 25th of October and the pre orders of the new ipad mini 2024 have already been started from the 15th of October.
