The iPad mini 7 is set to be revealed soon. As the stock of the iPad mini 6 starts to dwindle, various sources suggest that Apple will introduce this new model at a press event in either September or October this year. Here are five key features of the iPad mini 7 that have been highlighted by foreign media:
The iPad mini 6 was well-received for its stylish and practical design, and the iPad mini 7 will continue with this classic look. The size of the new model is expected to remain largely unchanged. Unless there’s a breakthrough in battery technology, the weight will stay the same, ensuring users continue to enjoy the experience of a compact digital notebook.
The iPad mini 6 faced criticism for its screen scrolling issues, which caused a “jelly” effect. Apple has addressed this in the iPad mini7 by using a new display controller. This upgrade will significantly enhance the screen’s responsiveness, ensuring smoother and more consistent scrolling for a better visual experience. While the iPad mini 7 won’t feature an OLED screen, Apple is gradually introducing this technology in other models, and an OLED version of the iPad mini could be released in the coming years.
The iPad mini 7 will see a major upgrade in hardware, with RAM increasing from 4GB to 8 GB. This boost will greatly improve multitasking capabilities to meet the growing needs of users. Additionally, with the increasing size of movies, TV shows, and apps, the base storage capacity is expected to increase, with 128GB likely becoming the new standard.
There has been much speculation about the processor in the iPad mini7. The iPad mini 6 is equipped with an A15 chip, but analysts suggest that the iPad mini7’s “main selling point” will be its chip. Some believe the A16 chip may not fully support the AI functions of the new model, leading to speculation that the A17 chip might be used instead. The A17 chip, with its powerful neural engine, is expected to deliver impressive AI performance.
Pricing
Despite the hardware upgrades, it’s expected that the iPad Mini 7 will be priced at $499, the same as the iPad Mini 6. This pricing strategy is likely to attract more consumers to consider purchasing this compact and powerful tablet.
