2024 iPad mini specs and Apple Intelligence
- 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display
- Apple A17 Pro chip
- 12 MP wide back camera with Smart HDR 4
- 128GB storage
- iPadOS 18
For starters, the new iPad mini comes with the latest and greatest… 2023 processor of Apple, the A17 Pro. Apple is waxing poetic how the A17 Pro is a powerful chip that beats the A15 Bionic in the previous iPad mini thanks to its 6-core CPU for a 30% faster performance, or how it brings a graphics boost thanks to the penta-core graphics subsystem that is now 25% than the iPAd mini (6th gen).
Deeply integrated into iPadOS 18, Apple Intelligence harnesses the power of Apple silicon and Apple-built generative models to understand and create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks.
