Apple has announced a redesigned iPad mini with a larger 8.5-inch OLED display, a thinner and lighter body, and its A20 Pro processor. The tablet is 5.4 millimeters thick and starts at $699 for the Wi-Fi model and $849 with Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity. Preorders open October 28, with availability beginning November 6.
The Super Retina XDR display offers peak brightness of up to 1,200 nits, full-screen brightness of 600 nits for SDR and HDR content, and a 2 million-to-1 contrast ratio. Apple is also offering a nano-texture display option intended to reduce glare. Bloomberg described the new model as water-resistant, while 9to5Mac reported that the display retains a 60Hz refresh rate.
The updated iPad mini includes a 12-megapixel Center Stage front camera, faster wireless and cellular connections, and fast charging. Apple says the A20 Pro’s six-core CPU provides up to 60% faster multithreaded performance than the previous model, while a seven-core GPU with Neural Accelerators delivers up to 4.5 times faster AI performance. The device will ship with a new generation of Apple Intelligence and Siri features designed to use personal context and information displayed on the screen.
