After 3 years without innovation, the iPad mini 7 has become one of the most anticipated products in Apple's catalog.
With the iPad mini 7, the product promises to strengthen Apple's position as one of the leading providers of versatile mobile devices. However, for a normal consumer, is the product worth investing in? To solve the problem, let's find out the highlights of this product as analyzed below.
Unconventional design but still convenient
The iPad mini 7 retains the design of its predecessor with an 8.3-inch screen, symmetrical bezels, physical buttons and a weight of only 293 grams. This size makes it comfortable to use and easy to put in a pocket or bag.
However, some users may feel that this design is outdated when the screen is not equipped with ProMotion technology or OLED panel, and the bezels are still thick. However, the screen is still very suitable for browsing the web, reading books and watching online content.
A17 Pro powerful
The highlight of this generation is the A17 Pro chip, similar to the one on the iPhone 15 Pro. This chip offers 30% higher CPU performance and 25% more powerful GPU than the previous A15 Bionic model. Users will feel the difference in everyday use, with apps opening faster and animations on iPadOS 18 smoother.
The A17 Pro chip isn't ideal for intense gaming, however. We saw stuttering in tests with games like Assassin's Creed Mirage at high graphics settings. Still, the iPad mini 7 does fine with lighter games.
Compatible with Pencil Pro and AI technology
One of the notable improvements of iPad mini 7 is compatibility with Pencil Pro, which brings pressure sensitivity, haptic feedback and gesture control. This makes iPad mini 7 an ideal tool for artists, designers and students, making writing and drawing more natural and precise.
In addition, the iPad mini 7 also supports Apple Intelligence, the AI technology that promises to change the way we interact with our devices. From advanced writing tools to image creation and task automation, this feature enhances the iPad's capabilities as a productivity tool. Currently, this feature is only supported in English (US), but in the near future, users in Spain will also experience it.
