Apple's latest iPad Mini is now available in a limited color selection of Midnight and Starlight, a significant reduction from the four colors previously offered across two generations. The previous A17 Pro model, launched in 2024, featured a broader palette of Blue, Purple, Starlight, and Space Gray options. In this new iteration, Apple has eliminated Blue and Purple, opting instead for Midnight as the darker alternative.
Starlight remains the sole color retained from the previous lineup. This move signifies the smallest array of color options for the iPad Mini since the second generation, which debuted in 2021 with Pink, Purple, Starlight, and Space Gray choices. The 2024 refresh, however, reintroduced more vibrant hues, replacing Pink with Blue while maintaining the four color options.
A TechWoven Smart Folio, priced at $79, is also introduced to complement the tablet, offering an additional two color choices for the cover - Navy Blue and Taupe. The iPad Mini itself starts at $699 for Wi-Fi models, with Wi-Fi and Cellular versions priced at $849. Pre-orders commence on Wednesday, October 28, with the device becoming available on Friday, November 6.
