The 12 Mpx rear wide angle compatible with Smart HDR4 creates photos with natural and more dynamic range. Use device machine learning to detect and scan documents directly in the camera app.
It offers all-day autonomy and the experience from iPadOS 18, including powerful features that improve the user experience. It also includes advanced environments like Core ML, making it easier for developers to get the most out of the Neural Engine and deliver powerful AI capabilities directly on the device.
It’s priced at €599 with 128GB, double the storage of the previous generation, and can be reserved now as it will be available from Wednesday, October 23.
better performance
The new iPad mini receives an update with the A17 Pro, a powerful chip that enables several improvements over the A15 Bionic chip in the previous generation of iPad mini. With a 6-core CPU, 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, it delivers 30% more CPU performance. Additionally, the chip boosts graphics performance through a 5-core GPU, which is 25% more than the previous generation.
The A17 Pro chip allows designers, pilots, doctors and other professionals to quickly edit photos, discover more immersive augmented reality apps, and use professional apps, among other improvements. Enable an ultra-realistic gaming experience with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which quadruples the speed of software ray tracing, and supports dynamic caching and hardware-accelerated mesh shading.
connectivity
It supports Wi-Fi 6E, which offers twice the performance as the previous generation. Wi-Fi + Cellular models with 5G enable greater speeds and mobile models activated with eSIM, a more secure alternative to physical SIM cards, allowing users to transfer their current plans to digital, in addition to being able to have multiple mobiles. Can be easily connected or moved. Data plan on a single device.
The USB-C port is now twice as fast as the previous generation and allows data transfer at up to 10 GB/s.
camera system
The 12 Mpx rear wide angle allows you to capture photos that improve details and sharpness with Smart HDR. Powered by a 16-core Neural Engine, artificial intelligence is used to automatically recognize documents with the camera app and eliminate shadows with the True Tone flash. The 12 MPx vertical front ultra-wide angle with centered framing multiplies the range of possibilities.
Features with Apple Pencil Pro
Apple Pencil Pro empowers the interactions and features to turn the iPad Mini into a sketchbook. When the user squeezes the pencil, Apple Pencil Pro detects this and opens a palette that allows you to change the tool, stroke thickness or color without interrupting the creative process. When you squeeze, double-tap, or if one shape fits perfectly into another, the custom-designed haptic motor responds with a small tap for confirmation. It can be rotated to control the equipment with complete precision. The orientation of the Pen and Brush tools changes when you move the Apple Pencil on the paper and with the floating pointer. It supports discovery and pairs, charges, and stores on the side of the iPad mini using a new magnetic interface.
Designed for Apple Intelligence
The A17 Pro chip supports Apple Intelligence, seamlessly integrated into iPadOS 18 to interpret and generate text and images, perform tasks in apps, and rely on personal context to simplify and streamline the day Leverages the power of Apple-designed chips and generator models to handle all day-to-day tasks. Many of the models that make Apple Intelligence possible are processed entirely on the device, and private cloud computing allows you to scale and expand computing power between on-device processing and larger models based on dedicated servers with Apple chips. Gives.
The first features of Apple Intelligence will be available in US English this month as a free iPadOS 18.1 software update for iPads with the A17 Pro or M1 chip and later.
