The new iPad mini features all-day battery life and brand-new
experiences with iPadOS® 18. Starting at just $499 with 128GB —
double the storage of the previous generation — the new iPad mini
delivers incredible value and the full iPad experience in an
ultraportable design. Customers can pre-order the new iPad mini
today, with availability beginning Wednesday, October 23.
“There is no other device in the world like iPad mini, beloved
for its combination of powerful performance and versatility in our
most ultraportable design. iPad mini appeals to a wide range of
users and has been built for Apple Intelligence, delivering
intelligent new features that are powerful, personal, and private,”
said Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product
Marketing. “With the powerful A17 Pro chip, faster connectivity,
and support for Apple Pencil Pro, the new iPad mini delivers the
full iPad experience in our most portable design at an incredible
value.”
A17 Pro Unlocks Powerful Performance
The new iPad mini gets a major update with A17 Pro, delivering
incredible performance and power efficiency in an ultraportable
design. A17 Pro is a powerful chip that unlocks a number of
improvements over A15 Bionic in the previous-generation iPad mini.
With a 6-core CPU — two performance cores and four efficiency cores
— A17 Pro delivers a 30 percent boost in CPU performance.1 A17 Pro
also brings a boost in graphics performance with a 5-core GPU,
delivering a 25 percent jump over the previous generation.1 A17 Pro
brings entirely new experiences — including pro apps used by
designers, pilots, doctors, and others — and makes it faster than
ever for users to edit photos, dive into more immersive AR
applications, and more. The new iPad mini brings true-to-life
gaming with hardware-accelerated ray tracing — which is 4x faster
than software-based ray tracing — as well as support for Dynamic
Caching and hardware-accelerated mesh shading. From creating
engaging content faster than ever in Affinity Designer, to playing
demanding, graphics-intensive AAA games like Zenless Zone Zero,
users can take the powerful performance and ultraportable iPad mini
anywhere.
Built for Apple Intelligence
With the power of the A17 Pro chip, the new iPad mini delivers
support for Apple Intelligence. Deeply integrated into iPadOS 18,
Apple Intelligence harnesses the power of Apple silicon and
Apple-built generative models to understand and create language and
images, take action across apps, and draw from personal context to
simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. Many of the models that
power Apple Intelligence run entirely on device, and Private Cloud
Compute offers the ability to flex and scale computational capacity
between on-device processing and larger, server-based models that
run on dedicated Apple silicon servers.
The first set of Apple Intelligence features will be available
in U.S. English this month through a free software update with
iPadOS 18.1, and available for iPad® with A17 Pro or M1 and later.
Apple Intelligence delivers experiences that are delightful,
intuitive, easy to use, and specially designed to help users do the
things that matter most to them:2
- With Writing Tools, users can refine their words by
rewriting, proofreading, and summarizing text nearly everywhere
they write, including Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party
apps.
- Siri® becomes more deeply integrated into the system
experience and gets a new design with an elegant glowing light that
wraps around the edge of the screen when active on iPad. With
richer language-understanding capabilities, communicating with Siri
is more natural and flexible. Siri can follow along when users
stumble over their words, can maintain context from one request to
the next, and now, users can type to Siri. Siri also has extensive
product knowledge to answer questions about features on iPad and
other Apple devices.
- In Photos, the Memories feature now enables users to
create the movies they want to see by simply typing a description,
and with the new Clean Up tool, they can identify and remove
distracting objects in the background of a photo — without
accidentally altering the subject.
Additional Apple Intelligence features will be rolling out over
the next several months:
- Image Playground allows users to create playful images
in moments.
- Image Wand is a new tool in the Apple Pencil® tool
palette that can transform a rough sketch into a polished
image.
- Emoji will be taken to an entirely new level with the ability
to create original Genmoji™ by simply typing a description,
or by selecting a photo of a friend or family member.
- Siri will be able to draw on a user’s personal context
to deliver intelligence that is tailored to them. It will also gain
onscreen awareness to understand and take action with users’
content, as well as take hundreds of new actions in and across
Apple and third-party apps.
- With ChatGPT integrated into experiences within iPadOS
18, users have the option to access its expertise, as well as its
image- and document-understanding capabilities, within Siri and
Writing Tools without needing to jump between tools. And privacy
protections are built in so a user’s IP address is obscured, and
OpenAI won’t store requests. Users can access ChatGPT for free
without creating an account, and ChatGPT’s data-use policies apply
for those who choose to connect their account.
Even Faster Connectivity
With faster wireless and wired connectivity, users can do even
more on iPad mini while on the go. The new iPad mini supports Wi-Fi
6E, which delivers up to twice the performance than the previous
generation,3 so users can download files, play games online, and
stream movies even faster. Wi-Fi + Cellular models with 5G allow
users to access their files, communicate with peers, and back up
their data in a snap while on the go. Cellular models of the new
iPad mini are activated with eSIM, a more secure alternative to a
physical SIM card, allowing users to quickly connect and transfer
their existing plans digitally, and store multiple cellular plans
on a single device. Customers can easily get connected to wireless
data plans on the new iPad mini in over 190 countries and regions
around the world without needing to get a physical SIM card from a
local carrier. The USB-C port is now up to 2x faster than the
previous generation, with data transfers up to 10Gbps, so importing
large photos and videos is even quicker.
Incredible Camera Experience
Great cameras, along with the incredibly portable form factor of
iPad mini, enable powerful mobile workflows. The 12MP wide back
camera delivers gorgeous photos, and with Smart HDR 4, they will be
even more detailed and vivid. Utilizing the powerful 16-core Neural
Engine, the new iPad mini uses artificial intelligence (AI) to
automatically identify documents right in the Camera app and can
use the new True Tone® flash to remove shadows from the document.
The 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera in portrait orientation,
with support for Center Stage™, is great for all the ways customers
use iPad mini.
Magical Capabilities with Apple Pencil Pro
Apple Pencil Pro unlocks magical capabilities and powerful
interactions, turning iPad mini into a sketchbook users can take
anywhere. Apple Pencil Pro can sense a user’s squeeze, bringing up
a tool palette to quickly switch tools, line weights, and colors,
all without interrupting the creative process. A custom haptic
engine delivers a light tap that provides confirmation when users
squeeze, double-tap, or snap to a Smart Shape for a remarkably
intuitive experience. Users can roll Apple Pencil Pro for precise
control of the tool they’re using. Rotating the barrel changes the
orientation of shaped pen and brush tools, just like pen and paper,
and with Apple Pencil hover, users can visualize the exact
orientation of a tool before making a mark. Apple Pencil Pro
features support for Find My®, and pairs, charges, and is stored
through a new magnetic interface on the new iPad mini. iPad mini
also supports Apple Pencil (USB-C), ideal for note taking,
sketching, annotating, journaling, and more, at a great value.
iPadOS 18 Brings Powerful and Intelligent New
Features
In addition to the groundbreaking capabilities of Apple
Intelligence, iPadOS 18 brings powerful features that enhance the
iPad experience, making it more versatile and intelligent than
ever. iPadOS also has advanced frameworks like Core ML® that make
it easy for developers to tap into the Neural Engine to deliver
powerful AI features right on device.
- Designed for the unique capabilities of iPad, Calculator
delivers an entirely new way to use Apple Pencil to solve
expressions, as well as basic and scientific calculators with a new
history function and unit conversions. With Math Notes,
users are now able to type mathematical expressions or write them
out to see them instantly solved in handwriting like their own.
They can also create and use variables, and add an equation to
insert a graph. Users can also access their Math Notes in the Notes
app, and use all of the math functionality in any of their other
notes.
- In the Notes app, handwritten notes become more fluid,
flexible, and easy to read with Smart Script and the power
of Apple Pencil. Smart Script unleashes powerful new capabilities
for users editing handwritten text, allowing them to easily add
space, or even paste typed text in their own handwriting. And as
users write with Apple Pencil, their handwriting will be
automatically refined in real time to be smoother, straighter, and
more legible.
- With new Audio Recording and Transcription, iPad
can capture a lecture or conversation, and transcripts are synced
with the audio, so users can search for an exact moment in the
recording.
- New levels of customization come to iPad, and users have even
more options to express themselves through the Home Screen
with app icons and widgets that can be placed in any open position.
App icons and widgets can take on a new look with a dark or tinted
effect, and users can make them appear larger to create the
experience that is perfect for them. Control Center has been
redesigned to provide easier access to many of the things users do
every day, delivering quick access to new groups of a user’s
most-utilized controls. Users can even organize new controls from
third-party apps in the redesigned Control Center.
- The Photos app receives its biggest update ever,
bringing users powerful new tools that make it easier to find what
they are looking for with a simplified and customizable app layout
that takes advantage of the larger display on iPad and helps users
browse by themes without having to organize content into
albums.
- Users have new ways to stay connected and express themselves in
Messages, with all-new animated text effects, redesigned
Tapbacks, and the ability to schedule messages to send at a later
time.
Better for the Environment
The new iPad mini is designed with the environment in mind,
including 100 percent recycled aluminum in the enclosure, 100
percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, and 100
percent recycled gold plating and tin soldering in multiple printed
circuit boards. The new iPad mini meets Apple’s high standards for
energy efficiency, and is free of mercury, brominated flame
retardants, and PVC. The packaging is 100 percent fiber-based,
bringing Apple closer to its goal to remove plastic from all
packaging by 2025.
Today, Apple is carbon neutral for global corporate operations
and, as part of its ambitious Apple 2030 goal, plans to be carbon
neutral across its entire carbon footprint by the end of this
decade.
