Apple announces a faster iPad mini for $499. It comes with Apple Intelligence and supports the Apple Pencil Pro.
Apple has unveiled a new iPad mini tablet with Apple Intelligence, the tech giant announced Tuesday.
The new iPad mini has an 8.3-inch screen and comes in four color options. It contains Apple’s A17 Pro chip, which has a six-core CPU and five-core GPU that promises to make it faster than the previous iPad mini model. It’ll also support hardware-accelerated ray tracing for gaming.
But the A17 isn’t Apple’s newest chip—the iPhone 16 Pro has an A18 Pro chip, and last year’s iPhone 15 Pro has the A17 Pro.
