The new iPad mini maintains its iconic ultraportable form but offers fresh, vibrant finishes: blue, purple, starlight, and space gray. Its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display is sharp, colorful, and perfect for both media consumption and creative work. The size is just right for users who need a compact device that doesn’t compromise on visual clarity.
Pricing and Value
The new iPad mini starts at $499 for the Wi-Fi model, $649 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model with 128GB of storage, double the storage of the previous generation. Education pricing is available starting at $449. Apple also offers a range of accessories, including Apple Pencil Pro for $129 and the Smart Folio for $59.
Apple’s A17 Pro chip is the star of the show here. The chip includes a 6-core CPU (with two performance cores and four efficiency cores) that promises a 30% improvement in CPU speed. The 5-core GPU also brings a 25% leap in graphics performance. This hardware enhancement makes the new iPad mini ideal for demanding applications, whether you’re into editing high-resolution images, diving into augmented reality (AR) environments, or playing AAA games like Zenless Zone Zero.
What really sets the A17 Pro apart is its capability for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading, offering 4x faster ray tracing compared to the previous software-based approach. Gamers and creatives alike will appreciate the enhanced visuals, especially with graphics-intensive tasks.
Perhaps one of the most innovative features of the new iPad mini is the support for Apple Intelligence, deeply integrated into iPadOS 18. Apple Intelligence combines on-device AI with cloud-powered models, ensuring privacy while providing a seamless, intelligent user experience. From generating text and images to taking actions based on personal context, it’s designed to make the iPad mini feel almost like a personal assistant.
Features like Writing Tools, Siri’s enhanced natural language understanding, and Photos’ Memories bring a more personalized, intuitive touch to everyday tasks. The system also introduces groundbreaking capabilities like the Image Playground for playful image creation and Image Wand, which transforms rough sketches into polished drawings.
Creatives will be thrilled to learn that the new iPad mini supports Apple Pencil Pro, which comes with a range of advanced features. Users can squeeze the Pencil to switch tools, adjust line weights, or change colors — without breaking their workflow. With Apple Pencil Pro, drawing, sketching, and note-taking feel fluid and natural. Additionally, the Find My feature and magnetic storage make it a practical accessory for on-the-go productivity.
Cameras and Photography
On the photography front, the new iPad mini includes a 12MP wide rear camera with Smart HDR 4, producing vivid, detailed photos with natural color balance. The AI capabilities of the 16-core Neural Engine can automatically detect documents when using the camera, making document scanning a breeze. The 12MP Ultra Wide front camera supports Center Stage, a handy feature for video calls that keeps you centered in the frame even as you move.
Battery Life and Connectivity
Apple promises all-day battery life, making the new iPad mini a reliable companion for work, school, or entertainment. On the connectivity front, the mini includes support for Wi-Fi 6E, offering double the performance of previous generations, and 5G on the Wi-Fi + Cellular models. With USB-C now up to 10Gbps, data transfers are faster than ever, catering to users who deal with large media files.
The new iPad mini ships with iPadOS 18, which brings a host of intelligent and creative features. Some key highlights include:
- - Calculator and Math Notes with support for Apple Pencil, allowing users to solve mathematical expressions in a natural, handwritten form.
- - Smart Script for smoother, more legible handwriting with Apple Pencil, refining text in real-time.
- - New customization options for the Home Screen with interactive widgets and improved Control Center for easier access to frequently used controls.
- - Enhanced Messages, including animated text effects and the ability to schedule messages.
The 2024 iPad mini brings together portability, performance, and intelligence in a sleek package. With the powerful A17 Pro chip, robust AI features, and versatile Apple Pencil Pro support, it’s an ideal device for users who need flexibility without sacrificing power. Whether you're a professional looking for an on-the-go work solution, a creative seeking new tools, or simply someone who values performance in a compact form, the new iPad mini is worth every penny.
If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your iPad or need a smaller device for travel or fieldwork, the iPad mini 2024 might just be the perfect choice.
