Apple has unveiled a new iPad mini featuring an optional nano-texture display designed to reduce glare for enhanced visibility in bright situations. This innovative finish is limited to models equipped with 256GB or 512GB of storage, adding an extra $100 to the starting price of $899 for the 256GB Wi-Fi model. The entry-level 128GB variant remains without the nano-texture option.
Apple has also included a polishing cloth for easy maintenance in these configurations. This new addition comes alongside the iPad mini's transition to an 8.5-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display, offering deeper blacks and up to 1,200 nits of peak HDR brightness. The nano-texture finish is also extended to the iPad Pro, although it is only available in the 1TB and 2TB versions.
The new iPad mini supports 600 nits of full-screen brightness for both SDR and HDR content, along with a minimum brightness of 1 nit. Apple Pencil Pro, USB-C, and hover versions are all compatible. The iPad mini launches at $699 for the standard-glass 128GB Wi-Fi model, with pre-orders starting on October 28, and availability on November 6.
