This updated USB-C port supports transfer speeds of up to 10Gb/s, making it easier than previous models to support transfer speeds of up to 10Gb/s. It’s much faster than . (This is data transfer, but charging seems to be the same.) The USB-C port is back, this time with faster data transfer.

This is the latest version of the computational photography algorithm that combines…
1 / 9iPad mini (2024) review photosiPad mini (2024) review photos What’s the same?As is often the case with new iPads, no one will know whether you’re using the 2021 iPad mini or this one unless they’re an astute study of Apple’s color schemes. This year, extremely mild shades of blue and purple replace the richer pink and purple options — my test iPad mini is purple, but looks like a pretty straight silver in a lot of light. I really wish Apple would provide more bold color options in more of its products, but here we are. Photo by…
My first reaction when I picked up the new iPad mini last Thursday morning was that it felt heavier than my 11” iPad Pro. Obviously, that was not the case – it’s nearly 150 grams lighter, in fact. But after several months of intense usage of the new, incredibly thin iPad Pro, the different weight distribution and the thicker form factor of the iPad mini got me for a second. Despite being “new”, compared to the latest-generation iPad Pro, the iPad mini felt old. The second thing I noticed is that, color aside, the new iPad mini looks and feels…
Apple has released its first iPad mini in three years. The smallest iPad has always held a special place. It’s small enough to fit in a jacket pocket and has a much higher-resolution display than other iPads. I’ve been using the new model since Apple first announced it last week. How has performance changed? What does it look like? And has the previous version’s infamous “jelly scroll” effect been fixed? That’s all you need to know.

Tiny Tablet Time: Take a look at the new iPad Mini Tiny Tablet Time: Take a look at the new iPad Mini Tiny Tablet Time: Take a look at the new iPad Mini It’s been three years since my last iPad mini, and not much has changed. So it has Pencil Pro support, it has a new processor, and that’s it. Well, if there’s more, wait. The iPad mini is one of the largest portable devices I carry around. I mean, I like playing games on the Switch. I read books on my Kindle, I carry actual physical books, and…
What I love about Pencil Pro is primarily the new “squeeze” feature that triggers the tool palette. It feels more intuitive than double-tap, especially when jotting down notes quickly. It also has a built-in gyroscope sensor that allows you to change direction by twisting the tool, giving you more control. You can also save money and buy the Apple Pencil USB-C instead. Apple Pencil USB-C also supports the iPad Mini, but that model omits many important features such as wireless charging, pressure sensitivity, double tap, and squeeze.The Pencil Pro is often marked down to $95 on Amazon, so the $26…
Getting a new iPad mini always feels like a happy little reunion. I’ve been using an iPad Pro, so I haven’t used an iPad mini since I returned the 2021 model three years ago. The new 2024 iPad mini is powered by the A17 Pro chip, strangely taken from last year’s iPhone 15 Pro, and is almost identical to the iPad I reviewed back then. The new processor is really important because it makes the iPad mini the latest Apple device to support Apple Intelligence. But other than that, it’s pretty much the same as the iPad mini from three…
The iPad mini 7 (starting at $499) isn’t a revolutionary update to the superb iPad mini 6, but its under-the-hood improvements make it a superior tablet. The upgrade to Apple’s new A17 Pro chip lets you browse web pages, watch videos and play games more smoothly. New features like Calculator, Math Notes and Smart Script also give this slate added versatility. You also get 128GB of storage to start instead of 64GB like before.While the latest iPad Air and iPad Pro offer larger sizes and faster performance, the iPad mini 7 mostly delivers the same experiences you’d get on those tablets,…
The Apple Pencil Pro is yet another reminder that you can’t draw to save your life. apple Until recently, I was using an older version of the iPad mini. This is the 6th generation model that was redesigned in 2021 and features an A15 Bionic chip and 256GB storage with 5G cellular support. This was a birthday present from my partner a few years ago. It’s a nice device thanks to its small stature and, in my opinion, the “purest” iPad in the lineup. I’ve been using various iPads in place of travel laptops for years, but the pandemic took…
You’re either a Mini person or you’re not.Apple’s smallest iPad has been around for years and has a following. The advantages of small tablets include low cost and easy portability. It can be slipped into a large jacket pocket or small bag, placed on the dashboard for use by pilots, or used as a POS screen in a store. My kids love little iPads and I love all things little technology.But the 2024 iPad Mini, despite its subtle upgrades, doesn’t impress me all that much. Not much has changed from before 2021 Updatethe two big additions are the ability to…
