We have another apple product releasing soon. Yes, Apple has the tendency to never take a break on creating and releasing new devices (or are they really new?). Even though all Apple’s devices have now been infamous for being the same as the previous ones especially mobile phones, we think its new creation is going to be different and more interesting this time. The new ipad mini 2024 is all set to be breaking the Apple stores all over the world. 

So for everyone asking is there a new ipad mini coming out in 2024, good news! 

According to the creators and some early reviews the new ipad mini 2024 has many different and interesting features and cannot be called the same as the previous mini ipad.

New iPad Mini 2024 Features

Apple has unveiled the latest iteration of the iPad Mini, now powered by the A17 Pro chip and enhanced with Apple Intelligence, a personal assistant that prioritizes user context and privacy.

The sixth-generation iPad Mini got a significant update in 2021, so it’s no surprise that Apple kept the external design the same in this iteration. This tablet features an iPad Mini new screen measuring 8.3 inches with slim bezels and a 12-megapixel front camera. It also includes a USB-C port that supports impressive 10-Gbps data transfer speeds. The rear camera boasts a 12-megapixel sensor with Smart HDR 4 capabilities and improved document scanning features introduced in the M4-powered iPad Pro earlier this year.

However, the most notable enhancements are found inside. Apple upgraded the processor from the A15 (used in the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro) to the A17 Pro, which is also in the iPhone 15 Pro. With its six-core CPU, this new chip is said to offer a 30 percent increase in CPU performance, while the five-core GPU delivers a 25 percent improvement compared to the previous generation. Additionally, the neural engine has doubled its speed.

This new chip allows the iPad Mini to leverage Apple Intelligence, a suite of AI tools debuting in iOS 18.1, making it the most affordable tablet in the lineup to access these features. Other compatible devices include the fifth-generation M1 iPad Air, sixth-generation M2 iPad Air, fifth-generation M1 iPad Pro, sixth-generation M2 iPad Pro, and seventh-generation M4 iPad Pro. Among these new tools are Writing Tools, which help proofread and adjust the tone of your text, and a Clean Up feature in Apple Photos to remove unwanted background objects. Additional features like Image Playground, Genmoji, and Siri’s integration with ChatGPT will be available in the coming months.

The new iPad Mini is also compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, the most advanced stylus in Apple’s lineup, released earlier this year. The “squeeze” feature opens a new tool palette, and double-tap functionality lets users switch back to their last-used tool. A built-in gyroscope sensor allows for better control by changing the orientation of the tools as you twist the pencil, and it includes Find My support in case it gets lost. Until now, the Apple Pencil Pro was exclusively compatible with the M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air, making this version the most budget-friendly option for using the stylus. A Smart Folio for the Mini is available separately for $59.

Apple has also increased the base storage options. In addition to the standard 128 GB model, users can opt for 256 GB and 512 GB configurations. New colors, including blue and purple, join the existing Space Gray and Starlight options.

Notably, Apple has improved the battery life as well, offering a new battery for the iPad Mini that enhances overall performance. Overall, the iPad Mini remains the most affordable way to access Apple Intelligence among all Apple devices, unless you find an older iPad Air, Mac Mini, or iPhone 15 Pro at a bargain. It’s also the cost-effective way to utilize the Apple Pencil Pro for those who appreciate its features. This much-needed hardware upgrade, along with the iPad Mini new screen and new battery for the iPad Mini, keeps the device appealing, especially for those who prioritize compact size.
