Introducing the Apple iPad mini (2024): Minor Updates, Major Improvements

The wait is over! Apple has just announced its latest iPad mini, and it’s a refresh that’s all about subtle yet significant upgrades. The new iPad mini (2024) sports the same 8.3-inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD display as its predecessor, but now packs a punch with the powerful Apple A17 Pro chip – the same one that debuted on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.

What’s New?

The Apple A17 Pro chip brings enhanced performance, but that’s not all. The new iPad mini also boasts:

• Double the base storage – 128GB, up from 64GB
• Fast connectivity: Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and a faster USB Type-C 3.1 Gen2 port
• Support for the Apple Pencil Pro stylus
• A new Blue color option, joining Purple, Starlight, and Space Gray

Other Features

The rest of the specs remain the same:

• 1,488 x 2,266px resolution and a 3:2 aspect ratio
• 60Hz refresh rate (no ProMotion, unfortunately)
• Dual 12MP cameras with improved ISP and Smart HDR 4 support
• Touch ID for biometric unlocks and app purchases
• 19.3-watt-hour battery, promising 10 hours of browsing or video playback over Wi-Fi
• 20W USB-C power adapter in the retail package
