hello. This is Technologytodaynow. Apple has finally announced the iPad mini 7. With Apple’s unveiling of the iPhone 16 series and AirPods 4 in September, many people have been anticipating the next Apple product, and now this October, the iPad mini 7 has been unveiled. It’s been rumored since last year, and it’s been a while since the iPad mini 6th generation model was released, so the announcement of this model has a lot of people excited.
Apple Announces iPad Mini 7: Everything You Need to Know, From Performance to Price
iPad mini 7 performance boosted by A17 Pro chip
It’s been a while since the previous model was released, so there was a lot of speculation that it would be a performance upgrade, and it looks like it is. The iPad mini 7 is powered by the A17 Pro chip, which is the same chip used in the iPhone 15 Pro series, so it should perform just as well.
CPU performance has been increased by 30%, GPU performance by 25%, and the neural engine has been doubled in performance, making it faster, smoother, and more intelligent than its predecessor, with Apple Intelligence capabilities.
Gaming performance and Wi-Fi 6E support
Many people use iPad Mini for gaming, and with support for Wi-Fi 6E, you can expect faster, more reliable Wi-Fi connections and better performance for gaming and other tasks that require a high-speed internet connection. Plus, with support for halftracing technology, you’ll get even better graphics, and you’ll be able to enjoy your games in stunning quality.
Display and Apple Pencil Pro support
The iPad mini 7 features an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with a 60Hz refresh rate. With support for the Apple Pencil Pro, you can now do even more sophisticated work on iPad mini. So whether you’re drawing or working on documents, you’ll be able to take advantage of the many features of the Apple Pencil Pro, which will greatly improve your efficiency. And if you’re scanning documents with your iPad, you’ll be able to do so with TrueTone Flash, which will give you shadow-free results.
Improved camera and ESIM support
For cameras, the iPad Mini 7 supports a 12-megapixel camera and Smart HDR 4, allowing for higher-quality photoshoots. And it supports ESIM instead of USIM to make communication easier, and the USB-C port offers data transfer speeds of 10Gbps, twice as fast as its predecessor.
iPad mini 7 colors and pricing
The iPad mini 7 will come in four colors: new blue and purple, and Starlight and Space Gray. It will be priced at W749,000 for Wi-Fi models and W979,000 for cellular models, and will be available for order in select countries starting from Oct. 15 and will officially launch on Oct. 23.
Finalize
So far, we’ve covered the iPad mini 7’s performance, release date, and price. The 60Hz refresh rate is a bit disappointing when most smart devices these days support 160Hz refresh rates. Also, it’s worth pointing out that the display hasn’t changed much, except for fixing jelly scroll. We’ll have to wait until the product is actually released to find out, but it doesn’t seem like it’s a good value for the price.
