iPad Mini 7 Debuts with 20W Charging Limit, Matching Predecessor

Despite internal upgrades, the iPad Mini 7 retains the same charging speed as the previous model, lagging behind some competitors.

The iPad Mini 7's charging speed is capped at 20W, as confirmed by a Chinese regulatory filing.
This charging speed is the same as the iPad Mini 6, despite the new model's switch to a USB-C port.
Charging from empty to full takes approximately two hours, slower than some Android tablets.
Apple may limit charging speed to 20W to prioritize battery longevity over time.
The iPad Mini 7 features internal improvements like the A17 Pro chip but lacks significant design changes.
