The iPad Mini may be the smallest tablet in Apple's lineup, but it's far from limited. This compact and highly portable device measures just 7.7" long, 5.3" wide, and 0.25" thin. Despite its size, it boasts a stunning 8.3" Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 Wide Color, and ultra-low reflectivity. Released in October 2024, the new iPad Mini features significant upgrades over its predecessor, including the powerful A17 Pro processor, double the base storage capacity, an updated faster Wi-Fi 6e protocol, a USB Type-C port for faster charging, and compatibility with the new Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C). It also promises upcoming support for Apple Intelligence.
