Apple unveils iPad mini 7: what new features you will get for $500

On October 15, 2024, Apple presented the new iPad mini of this generation. This model has received several important updates that significantly distinguish it from the previous version.

One of the key novelties is the new A17 Pro processor, which provides a significant performance boost and supports intelligent functions based on artificial intelligence, the company said in a release.

The new A17 Pro chip, previously used in the iPhone 15 Pro, allows the iPad mini 7 to be more powerful than its predecessor, which was powered by the A15 Bionic. The improved processor and graphics performance also supports hardware ray tracing acceleration, making the tablet more efficient for complex tasks.

In addition to performance, the iPad mini 7 now has a base storage capacity of 128 GB, which is twice as much as the previous model, without increasing the price. This makes the tablet even more attractive to users who store a lot of data. The USB-C port has also been updated to support fast data transfers.

Another important new feature is support for the Apple Pencil Pro with hover function, which opens up new opportunities for drawing and graphic design. In addition, the tablet's camera now supports Smart HDR 4, which improves photo quality.

This generation iPad mini has an 8.3-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2266×1488 pixels. However, the refresh rate has remained at 60 Hz, which may disappoint some users who were expecting 90 or higher.

The new product will go on sale on October 23, 2024, and the price for the base model with 128 GB of storage will start at $499. The tablet will be available in a new blue color, which replaced pink, as well as in the Gray Space, Starlight, and Purple variants.
