Tech News of The Week 📣
The New iPad mini
Apple's latest iPad Mini, released in 2024, brings incremental updates to its compact tablet lineup. The new model features the Apple A17 Pro chip, offering about 30% faster performance in CPU and GPU tasks compared to its predecessor. However, it's worth noting that this chip appears to be a slightly less powerful variant than the one found in the iPhone 15 Pro.
The device now supports the Apple Pencil Pro and comes with increased base storage of 128GB, addressing previous capacity concerns. It's available in new color options, including a subtle blue and purple, alongside the traditional space gray and starlight.
Despite these improvements, the 2024 iPad Mini retains many characteristics of its predecessor. The front-facing camera remains in portrait orientation, and the "jelly scrolling" effect persists. It continues to use Touch ID rather than Face ID for authentication.
The primary selling point for this new Mini appears to be its compatibility with the upcoming Apple Intelligence features, though these are not yet fully realized. For most users, especially those with recent iPad Mini models, the upgrades may not justify an immediate purchase. The device remains a niche product, best suited for those specifically seeking a compact tablet experience within the Apple ecosystem.

"Age is just a number, but silliness is timeless. The secret to staying young at heart is to never let your inner child grow up – just give it better toys and a later bedtime."
