Apple Unveils New iPad Mini 7
Apple has unveiled a new iPad mini 7, marking its first upgrade since 2021. This updated model features the advanced A17 Pro processor, the same chip found in last year’s iPhone 15 Pro. With this enhancement, the new iPad mini 7 is capable of utilizing Apple Intelligence, the company’s new suite of artificial intelligence tools that will be gradually introduced to users starting this month.
Growth in iPad Segment
In its fiscal third-quarter report, Apple noted significant growth in its iPad segment, which saw an increase of approximately 24% year over year, attributed to the launch of several new iPad models for the first time since 2022.
Compact Design and Features
The compact iPad mini 7 is particularly popular among users who value its lightweight design and 8.3-inch display, making it ideal for reading and note-taking. This latest version is also compatible with the new Apple Pencil Pro, which was released earlier this year alongside the iPad Pro models.
Pricing and Availability
The new iPad mini 7 is priced starting at $499 and is currently available for preorder, with an official launch date set for October 23.
