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 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.",
