It’s been years since Apple updated the iPad Mini and this new version takes more of the impressive iPad Air than the entry-level iPad, which now seems more geared towards education.
This means that the iPad Mini has a USB-C port, a square design, 5G, and more. The new iPad mini also has slimmer bezels and a Touch ID sensor located on the power button.
In addition, the new 8.3-inch iPad mini has a new camera with a True Tone flash and a 12-megapixel sensor. You can also record in 4K.
Like the new base model iPad, the new iPad mini has a new 12-megapixel front camera with Center Stage support too so you can move around while on a video call.
This new iPad Mini is also compatible with the new Apple Pencil, so it has slightly less input lag than the basic iPad and the stylus can be magnetized to the side of the new iPad mini for charging.
The new iPad Mini will be available later today for pre-order and anyone can buy one next week starting at $ 649 CAD.
This version of the iPad mini also includes an A15 Bionic chipset, so it will be fast enough for pretty much anything users want to throw out.
More to come …
