New iPad mini: 6 new features we expect from a tablet coming soon
Apple will refresh the iPad mini with some very interesting new features
Rumors say Apple may hold one last event with a few new devices before the end of the year. And among these new devices we will have refresh of existing iPad miniIt will be the seventh generation of this strange device. And we already know a lot about this small and powerful device, which has not been updated for 3 years.
Although it is not clear whether we will have an event or not, What is certain is that Apple will launch new devices before the end of the year.. In addition to the new iPad mini, we will be revamping the Mac lineup to include the M4 chip. And that’s all we know.
Same size but better screen
The new iPad mini is expected to retain the same design as its predecessor and retain the 8.3-inch screen. But that doesn’t mean we won’t see changes. iPad mini screen heavily criticized for “jelly effect” when we move fast. It’s something Apple will likely fix in this new version.
A leap in power
Rumors about the chip the new iPad mini will use are unclear, but there are two things we consider almost certain. It will be a more powerful chip than the current A15 Bionic and will be compatible with Apple Intelligence. It would be very strange if Apple were to launch a device now that is not compatible with its AI.
Apple therefore has three options to choose from: The iPhone 15 Pro’s A17 Pro chip, M1 or M2 chip, or most likely the A18 chip also used by the iPhone 16. A significant power increase that will keep it in the catalog for years to come.
horizontal camera
First the tenth generation iPad was released, followed by the newest iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro (M4). They changed the position of the cameras to place them on one of the long sides of the iPad. So they were more comfortable when we had a video call.
This is to be expected iPad mini 7 follows this trend and also position the camera on one of the sides. Although it is true that it is a device that is mostly used in a vertical position, it is better to use the space horizontally in video calls.
Compatible with Apple Pencil Pro
The compatibility of different Apple Pencils with the iPad varies, especially with the arrival of the Apple Pencil Pro, which is only compatible with the iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro (M4). It is being charged due to the camera. HE iPad mini 7 may also be compatible with this model the most powerful Apple Pencil.
new colors
All iPad models, except iPad Pro, update their colors when the new version is released. Currently, the iPad mini is available in Space Gray, Pink, Purple, and Stellar White. Therefore, Apple is expected to present a new style in this generation.
Price drop?
Apple lowered the price when it introduced the new iPad Air (M2), but also lowered the price of the entry-level iPad. The price of the iPad mini is 599 euros, which is only 100 euros cheaper than the iPad Air. I think Apple has room to lower this a bit and bring it closer to 500 Euros. I think it will be a more affordable price for this iPad model.
Here are the news we expect from this new period iPad mini 7th generation. A model that is not among the bestsellers of the series, but is very practical and the perfect size for many users. Apple updates it every year, but every update is worth it.
