Now with the A17 Pro chip, Apple turned the iPad mini into a portable powerhouse. The 6-Core CPU delivers up to a 30 percent boost in performance and enables the iPad mini to utilize Apple Intelligence. The integrated 5-Core GPU provides advanced features, such as real-time ray tracing, Dynamic Caching, and hardware-accelerated mesh shading, allowing you to play graphically-intensive games with ease, including AAA titles. Even the 16-Core Neural Engine is up to two times faster than the previous generation.

This iPad mini is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps you express yourself and get things done quickly and efficiently. With secure privacy protections, Apple Intelligence draws on your personal context without allowing anyone else to have access to your personal data, not even Apple.

Here are some ways Apple Intelligence can help you:

• Writing Tools can help you find the right words. Proofread your text, revise it until the tone is just right, and summarize selected text with a simple tap.
• Turn a rough sketch into a related image with Image Wand. And create new images based on descriptions, suggested concepts, and even a person from your Photos library with Image Playground.
• With awareness of your personal context, Siri can help you in ways that are unique to you. Can’t find that hike recommendation from a friend? Siri can help find what you’re looking for, without compromising your privacy.

With Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), you’ll be able to download files, play games online, and stream movies even faster. That’s because Wi-Fi 6E is two times faster than the previous generation.

Join superfast 5G wireless networks so you can use your iPad mini from virtually anywhere. Download files, play multiplayer games, stream movies, check in on your friends, and more without needing to connect to a Wi-Fi network.

Please note that a 5G data plan from a certified carrier is required and sold separately.

Now with support for the Apple Pencil Pro (sold separately), the iPad mini makes it easy to take notes, draw, sketch, and more. With tilt sensitivity and support for palm rejection, along with squeeze, barrel roll, and haptic feedback, the Apple Pencil Pro unlocks more ways you can use the iPad mini.

The iPad mini has an 8.3″ Liquid Retina Display, delivering 2266 x 1488 resolution and 326 ppi. The display also has 500 nits of peak brightness, True Tone for comfortable viewing, P3 wide color, and ultralow reflectivity, making text sharp and colors vivid.

Whether you’re in a meeting or catching up with friends, Center Stage takes full advantage of the Ultra-Wide 12MP front camera to make video calls more engaging. As you move around, the camera will automatically pan to keep you centered in frame. When people join or leave, the screen automatically adjusts by expanding or zooming in.

The 12MP wide rear camera features Focus Pixels and a large aperture to deliver stunning photos and high-res 4K video. And with the new ISP in A17 Pro enabling Smart HDR 4, images are more detailed and vivid. The iPad mini also has improved document scanning, which uses AI to detect a document. If the True Tone flash creates a shadow during the process, the iPad mini will take multiple photos and stitch them together to create a high-quality scan to remove it.

The iPad mini has all-day battery life, so it’s always ready for any task or project. Keep working, creating, and playing – without missing a beat.

Connect and charge with the versatile USB-C port. Plug in accessories to make music, run your business, and more.

Touch ID is integrated into the top button for fast, easy, and secure authentication. Use your fingerprint to unlock your iPad or quickly and securely make a payment.

The back camera also has a True Tone flash, so you can take optimal photos in any light, or scan documents and then mark them up. And the iPad mini can record in 4K, making it your mobile movie studio.
