The new $799 iPad Mini is ready for Apple Intelligence
Apple has refreshed the iPad Mini with an A17 Pro chip and support for Apple Pencil Pro.
I have a huge soft spot for the iPad Mini. I remember testing the first generation back in 2012, and found it a great size for gaming.
But I feel like Apple hasn't really kept the Mini as up to date as its other iPad models over the years. While the core iPad model and the iPad Air seem to get frequent updates, the Mini typically languishes behind.
Maybe that will change with the upcoming arrival of Apple Intelligence. Apple has just given the iPad Mini a fresh update, with the introduction of the A17 Pro chip inside to get the tablet ready for Cupertino's brand of AI.
