Apple Just Gave the iPad Mini Its ‘Biggest Update Ever’
Apple says the redesign adds a larger OLED screen, A20 Pro performance and IP67 water resistance, with prices starting at $699.
- On Friday, Apple unveiled its new iPad Mini featuring an 8.5-inch OLED display and upgraded A20 Pro chip, calling it the "biggest update ever" for the tablet.
- The previous 7th-generation iPad Mini, released in 2024 with an A17 Pro chip, faced criticism as the "black sheep" of Apple's tablet lineup, prompting this redesign.
- Featuring an "Acoustic Display" that hides "custom tweeters" for "punchier bass and more volume," the tablet includes an IP67 rating and repositioned landscape front camera.
- Pricing for the device starts at $699 for the Wi-Fi model and $849 for Wi-Fi and cellular, with pre-orders beginning Wednesday, October 28th.
- Despite the upgrades, the device lacks "ProMotion" and remains limited to a 60Hz refresh rate; Apple senior vice president Greg Joswiak told reviewers the company does not "concern ourselves with cannibalization.
