The new device is the first upgrade to the series in nearly three years. The iPad mini 2024 comes with powerful capabilities including the A17 Pro chip, support for the Apple Pencil Pro, and Apple Intelligence features.
New iPad mini
The new tablet comes with an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with multi-touch support and a resolution of 1488 x 2266 with a density of 326 pixels per inch. And a brightness of 500 nits.
As for the processor, the new iPad mini is powered by the A17 Pro chip, which will boost performance by 30%. Apple also says that this chip will represent a qualitative leap by increasing the performance of the graphics processing unit by 25% compared to the previous generation.
The device also supports the new Apple Pencil Pro, and the device comes with a storage capacity of 128 GB instead of 64 GB, and it supports the Wi-Fi 6E chip, which will provide performance that is twice faster than the previous generation.

Nice specifications and a good addition given that the pricing has not changed from the previous generation despite the three-year difference. The way it is advertised is an implicit admission from Apple that the upgrade does not deserve a conference and media hype, but I still see it as a winning deal.
A device with 2600 and a 60 hrtz screen?! Apple neglects its customers
Hi Abdulaziz 🙋♂️, It seems that you chose the screen as the main talking point. Well, let me tell you that although the 60Hz screen may seem low compared to other devices on the market, the quality of Apple's screens and their amazing colors make the user experience really enjoyable. And let's not forget the powerful performance of the A17 Pro chips and Apple Intelligence that add great power to this device. The dress is only the reins, right? 😄🍏
If the screen does not support 120hz, no one will be able to notice the difference between the two generations, even if the processor is 10 times more powerful.
Hi Mohammed, 😊 We can't deny the importance of 120Hz technology in the daily user experience, but we also can't underestimate the other innovations in the iPad mini 2024. 🚀 For example, the A17 Pro chip provides a significant increase in performance and speed, so you will definitely notice a difference even if the screen does not support 120Hz. 👌🏼 And let's not forget the new Apple Pencil Pro and artificial intelligence! 🧠🎨 So, do you still want to support 120Hz or do you now have a desire to try these updates?
AI is biased in its opinions, I will complain to the blog admin AI.
The device did not bring anything new to me.
The only differences are the processor, support for artificial intelligence, support for the Apple Pencil Pro, and two new colors. The rest is the same shape and features, and there is nothing new, the same screen and the same cameras.
Hi Mohammed 🙋♂️, Although you may think that the updates are minor, we cannot ignore the huge leap in performance thanks to the A17 Pro processor and artificial intelligence. In addition to supporting the Apple Pencil Pro, which will make many tasks easier for users. Of course, there is always room to add more updates in the future, so don't worry! Apple always has plans and winning cards up its sleeve! 😄🍏
It's a really great deal.
It is clear that Apple put a powerful processor to neglect for more than three years before updating it in the fourth year!
The very, very strange thing is that they added two new colors, and on the contrary, they did not give the device a special, distinctive background, but rather the same background as the previous Mini 6, and this puts the buyer in a state of deception or unawareness that it is the 7th generation, and this reminds me of the iPod Touch 6 and 7. There was no difference in the color of the two generations, nor even in a clear and explicit indication of the generation number on the box, even though the processor in the 7 is newer than the 6!
The only distinguishing feature of the Mini 7 is the inclusion of the name (mini) on the back of the device for the first time in the history of any Apple device!
Hi MohammedJassim! 🍎 It seems like you live in the Apple world, and I like that! 😄 Indeed, Apple likes to keep things simple and elegant, and may not change the design much between generations. But that doesn't mean that it puts the user in a state of cheating. It has an official website that explains all the details and differences between the devices. At the end of the day, it's all about the user experience, and if the devices do the tasks the user wants, then that's what matters most. 👌🏼😉
About the battery?
Finally, Apple produced an iPad with a Retina screen and a powerful processor that will be able to process large video files, but I did not know if it comes with four speakers.
Welcome Arkan! 😊 Unfortunately, the official announcement from Apple did not mention anything about the presence of four speakers in the new iPad mini. But, don't worry! The improvements in this device are very exciting, especially the powerful A17 Pro processor and the amazing Retina display. You will really enjoy editing video files on this amazing gadget! 🚀🍏
