New iPad mini 7 with the A17 Pro chip and Apple Intelligence

Apple knows how to surprise. On October 15, the company unveiled the 7th generation iPad mini. It is the first tablet designed to work with Apple Intelligence. Here’s what you need to know about this new device.

Design and Dimensions of iPad mini 7

Minimalism and thoughtful ergonomics never go out of style. The design of the new model mirrors the 2021 version: slim bezels, edge-to-edge display, and sharp edges, providing a comfortable grip without slipping.

The “signature” dimensions of the mini version remain unchanged: 203.2 mm in height, 134.8 mm in width, and 6.3 mm in thickness. The screen diagonal is 8.3 inches. Compactness, mobility, and powerful performance right in your hand. As before, the tablet is easy to carry around and use on the go: the iPad mini 7 weighs just 293 grams (Wi-Fi version) and 297 grams (Wi-Fi + Cellular). The body of the device is made of recycled aluminum, as Apple continues its commitment to eco-friendly production.

Four Colors and Expanded Storage

The new device comes in a versatile color palette, with four muted shades suitable for both men and women:

·       Starlight

·       Blue

·       Purple

·       Space Gray

A key difference from the previous iPad mini version is the increased storage options. While the previous model offered only 64 GB or 256 GB, the new one offers 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB.

Stellar Performance for Professional Tasks

The compact iPad mini 7 is powered by the Apple A17 Pro chip, the same one found in last year’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. These smartphones are known for their powerful gaming capabilities. The six-core CPU boosts the tablet’s performance by 30% compared to the previous generation, while the five-core GPU enhances graphics processing by 25%. The new chip and increased storage make working with large files easier and faster. The A17 Pro chip is not only powerful but also energy-efficient: the tablet runs up to 10 hours on a single charge, more than enough for a full workday.

The Liquid Retina display with a maximum brightness of 500 nits allows you to work comfortably even under bright sunlight.

Key Specifications:

·       12 MP wide-angle rear camera and 12 MP ultra-wide front camera

·       The 12 MP wide-angle rear camera supports Smart HDR 4 technology

·       Center Stage feature for video calls, keeping you “in the spotlight”

·       USB-C port with data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps

·       5G and Wi-Fi 6 support for faster network performance, large data downloads, and streaming

·       Stereo speakers

·       Touch ID for secure authentication

Not Just for Work, But Also for Games

The iPad mini 7’s gaming capabilities are impressive. The GPU supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which is four times faster than software-based ray tracing. Combined with hardware-accelerated mesh shading, this results in more detailed and realistic images on the screen, including beautiful reflections, shadows, and water highlights.

It also supports dynamic caching, which analyzes processes in real-time and allocates only the necessary memory for each task, improving the performance of resource-intensive applications.

The iPad mini 7 is even suitable for the most demanding AAA games, such as Zenless Zone Zero.

Apple Intelligence

One of the key features of the iPad mini 7 is support for Apple Intelligence. The tablet not only optimizes performance but also adapts the interface specifically for you. The first set of Apple Intelligence features will be available in English in the U.S. this month with the release of iPadOS 18.1.

Apple Intelligence Features on iPad mini 7:

·       Text editing with Writing Tools in Notes, Mail, and other apps

·       Siri has become more integrated into the system with a new design. The voice assistant understands you better, and communication feels more natural.

·       In the Photos app, the Memories feature lets you create movies by simply entering a description in the search bar. The new Clean Up tool easily removes unwanted objects from photos.

·       More Apple Intelligence features will be available later, such as creating unique emojis, transforming sketches into full images, and many other surprises.

Capabilities with Apple Pencil Pro

The iPad mini 7 is compatible with both the Apple Pencil USB-C and the new Apple Pencil Pro. The Apple Pencil Pro offers haptic feedback: simply squeeze the stylus to access the tool palette. With this device, the iPad mini 7 becomes a canvas for creativity. Moreover, the Apple Pencil Pro supports the Find My feature, pairs, charges, and stores using the new magnetic interface on the iPad mini 7.
