iPad mini (A20 Pro) review: Apple's tiny tablet gets a big update
Apple made significant improvements to the iPad mini this year, but they don't come cheap.
Apple's recent update to the iPad mini (A20 Pro) brings a host of improvements to the already impressive and compact tablet. This year, the device has undergone a significant makeover, making it more powerful and feature-rich than ever before. The new iPad mini boasts a slightly larger screen compared to its predecessor, but weighs less and is thinner, making it a more portable option.
Key upgrades include the introduction of an OLED display, making it the first iPad mini with this advanced screen technology. The device also comes with a nano-texture glass front, which reduces glare in bright light and enhances overall viewing experience. Additionally, the new chipset, the A20 Pro, is a powerhouse, outperforming the previous A17 Pro found in the previous iPad mini.
One of the most notable features is the improved speaker system, and the device is now the first iPad to have an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. Apple has also added fast-charging capabilities, a feature that was previously found only in the iPad Pro.
While these improvements come at a cost, with the iPad mini now starting at $699 for the 128GB model, it's clear that Apple has taken a significant leap forward with this device. Despite its smaller screen size, the iPad mini remains a compelling option for those seeking a powerful tablet in a compact form factor.
