Apple has released the new iPad mini, featuring a thinner and lighter design, an 8.5-inch OLED display, water resistance, and the powerful A20 Pro chip. The new model is 5.4mm thick and weighs 255 grams, making it the lightest iPad Apple has ever built. The device is IP67 water and dust resistant, a first for any iPad. The new iPad mini starts at $699 for the 128GB model, with the 512GB model costing $1,249. Despite the higher price, the new iPad mini offers a comprehensive update, making it a powerful portable device for various tasks.
The new iPad mini's OLED display offers better colors, improved contrast, and higher brightness compared to its predecessor's LCD panel. However, it lacks ProMotion, or a 120Hz refresh rate, which is a disappointment for some users. The device also features an Acoustic Display audio system, which uses the display itself to produce sound, providing a decent audio experience for a device of its size.
