iPad mini 8 hands-on: I like it even more than iPhone Duo
Apple's smallest tablet has been long overdue for an upgrade and based on my first impressions, the new iPad mini 8 delivers and then some.
The new iPad mini 8 showcases a powerful chip, a larger display, and a sleeker design compared to the iPhone Duo. The 8.5-inch OLED display on the iPad mini 8 offers superior color and contrast when compared to the 7.6-inch screen on the iPhone Duo. The iPad mini 8 is also thinner and lighter than its predecessor, while maintaining an IP67 water and dust rating.
With the same A20 Pro chip as the iPhone 18 Pro series, the iPad mini 8 delivers impressive performance for gaming, editing, and 3D modeling. The iPad mini 8's camera placement and improved sound quality further enhance its appeal. Despite costing $100 more than the iPad mini 7, the upgrades are considered worthwhile for those seeking a versatile device that combines a tablet and phone's functionality.
