Apple has launched its new iPad Mini 7, equipped with the A17 Pro chip, which is already used in the current iPhones. With improved performance and more efficient chip architecture, the device is aimed at users looking for a powerful but portable tablet. In terms of technical features, the iPad Mini 7 promises significant improvements in terms of performance, graphics and battery life.
The most important facts in brief
- A17 Pro chip ensures significant performance improvements
- 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone and P3 color space
- Improved energy efficiency and battery life
- iPadOS 17 with new features for a better multitasking experience
Apple iPad Mini 7 with powerful A17 Pro chip
At the heart of the iPad Mini 7 beats the A17 Pro chip, which has been specially optimized for mobile devices. The chip is based on 3-nanometer technology, which makes it particularly energy-efficient. The A17 Pro is said to offer impressive graphics performance, especially for gaming and graphics-intensive applications.
Thanks to the 6-core CPU and the new 5-core GPU, even demanding applications will probably be handled by the small iPad without any problems. We already know the A17 Pro from the iPhone 15 Pro. However, Apple is using one core less in the GPU unit of the new iPad Mini. This is probably due to cost-saving measures. Compared to the A15 Bionic, which was used in the Apple iPad Mini 6, there should still be a leap in performance.
In addition to the performance boost from the A17 Pro chip, the iPad Mini 7 also offers improvements in connectivity. With 5G support and Wi-Fi 6E, the device is state of the art. The battery life has also been optimized for longer use without constant recharging, so that the iPad Mini now works even more efficiently.
Improvements to the display
The iPad Mini 7 has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, which offers a sharp and true-color display. Apple once again relies on True Tone technology, which adjusts the color temperature of the display to the ambient light.
This ensures a pleasant viewing experience, whether in bright or dark environments. The P3 color space enables a more precise color representation, which is ideal for creative applications and media consumption.
Thanks to the new iPadOS 17, users can benefit from new features such as better multitasking, improved widgets and new functions in the area of productivity. The Apple Pencil is also still supported, making the iPad Mini attractive for creative professionals and technology enthusiasts alike.
Conclusion
The iPad Mini 7 combines a compact size with modern technology and high performance. Although the A17 Pro chip ensures better performance, it is a shame that Apple did not opt for the newer A18. This means that the Apple iPad Mini 7 is not state-of-the-art right from the start. The iPad Mini 7 is available immediately at a price of 599.00 euros.
