Apple Unveils iPad Mini 7 with A17 Pro Chip and Enhanced Features
Despite significant upgrades, the iPad Mini 7 lacks native phone call capability, a feature some users find crucial.
- The iPad Mini 7 is powered by the A17 Pro chip, offering a 30% boost in CPU performance and a 25% increase in GPU performance over the previous model.
- New features include support for Pencil Pro, faster USB-C data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps, and upgraded Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.
- The device retains the 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display but misses out on a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, sticking with 60Hz.
- Apple has doubled the base storage to 128GB while maintaining the starting price at $499, addressing past storage limitations.
- The iPad Mini 7 does not support native phone calls, which limits its potential as an all-in-one device, despite its 5G capabilities.
