Apple unveils the new iPad mini, powered by a powerful processor
On Tuesday, Apple unveiled its latest tablet device, the new iPad Mini, powered by the A17 Pro processor. She pointed out that the new device is available with its light design, and in 4 colors, including the new colors blue and lilac, with an 8.3-inch Retina Liquid screen.
The American company explained that the “A17 Pro” chip provides a high-performance boost for even the most demanding tasks, with a faster central processing unit and a graphics processing unit, a neural engine that is twice as fast as the previous generation “iPad Mini,” and support for the “Apple Intelligence” system.
According to the information released, the wide-angle 12MP rear camera supports the 4 Smart HDR feature to capture natural-looking photos with a more dynamic range, and uses machine learning to automatically detect and scan documents. in the camera application.
She pointed out that the new device “iPad Mini” is characterized by a battery that lasts all day and completely new experiences with the system “iPad Mini OS 18”, while the price of the new “iPad Mini” has been set at $499 – 128GB storage capacity – twice the storage capacity of the previous generation providing value and full iPad experience in an ultra-lightweight design.
She explained that users can pre-order the new iPad Mini starting today, and it will be available starting Wednesday, October 23.
Bob Borchers, senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing at Apple, said: “There is no other device in the world that matches the iPad mini, thanks to its combination of powerful performance and flexibility the ultra-light design and easier to carry. The mini iPad attracts a wide range of users. “With the powerful A17 Pro chip, faster connectivity, and support for the Apple Pro Pencil, the new iPad mini delivers the full iPad experience in our most portable design ever at an incredible value.”
“A17 Pro” chip.
The new “iPad Mini” device comes with major updates with the “A17 Pro” chip, which provides high performance and energy efficiency in its portable design, and the “A17 Pro” chip has marked by his powerful performance. It has been improved in several aspects compared to the “A15 Bionic” chip in the previous generation (iPad Mini).
Thanks to the six-core CPU with two performance cores and four efficiency cores, the “A17 Pro” chip achieves a 30 percent increase in CPU performance.
The “A17 Pro” chip also achieves a qualitative leap in graphics performance thanks to the five-core graphics processing unit, achieving a 25 percent jump compared to the previous generation.
The A17 Pro chip offers completely new experiences, including professional applications used by designers, pilots, doctors and others. Users can quickly edit photos, explore details on immersive augmented reality applications, and more than ever before.
The new iPad Mini provides realistic gaming with hardware-accelerated ray tracing technology, which is 4x faster than software-accelerated ray tracing, as well as support for dynamic caching and hardware-accelerated mesh shading technology.
From creating engaging content at a faster rate than ever in “Affinity Designer”, to enjoying playing AAA games full of graphics that require powerful performance, such as “Zenless Zone Zero”, thanks to the ultra-light and high-performance design of the “iPad mini”, users can carry it anywhere.
The device comes in 4 new colors
Faster connection
With faster wired and wireless connectivity, users can do more on iPad mini. The new iPad mini model supports Wi-Fi 6E, which provides performance up to twice as fast as the previous generation, so users can download files, enjoy games, and watch movies online faster than ever.
Wi-Fi and cellular models with a 5G network will allow users to access their files, communicate with colleagues and back up their data with a simple touch while on the go. iPad Mini models equipped with cellular connectivity are activated using an electronic chip, which is a secure alternative to a physical chip, allowing users to connect or transfer their current packages digitally more fast, as well as storing several cell packs on one device.
Users can now easily connect to wireless data plans on the new iPad mini in more than 190 countries and territories around the world, without the need for a physical SIM card from a local telecommunications company.
The USB-C port is now up to 2x faster than the previous generation, with the ability to transfer data up to 10Gbps; So importing large photos and videos is faster than ever.
Camera experience
Cameras enable high-performance workflows on the go. The wide-angle 12MP rear camera takes great photos, and with the smart “4 HDR” feature, the photos will be more detailed and vivid.
Using a powerful Neural Engine with 16 cores, the new iPad mini uses artificial intelligence to identify documents directly in the Camera app, and can use the flash with new color harmony technology to remove shadows from a document. The 12MP Ultra Wide front camera in portrait mode, with Center Mode support, is ideal for all the ways customers use iPad mini.
The system for iPad
iPad OS comes with powerful features that enhance the iPad experience. Make it more flexible and smarter than ever. iPadOS also features frameworks like Core ML that make it easier for developers to leverage the Neural Engine to deliver powerful AI features directly on the device.
The calculator was specially designed to suit the high capabilities of the iPad, as it provides a completely new way to use the Apple Pencil to solve mathematical expressions, in addition to the regular calculator and scientific calculator, with the feature new history of equations and unit conversion.
With Arithmetic Notes, users can now enter or type math expressions to instantly see them solved in handwriting that looks like their own. They can also create and use variables, and add an equation to fit a graph. Users can also access their math notes in the Notes app, and use all the math functions in any of their other notes.
The Notes application has also improved significantly, as well as the new audio recording and text recording feature. The iPad can capture a speech or conversation, and the written texts are synchronized with the audio, so that users can find a specific moment in the recording.
The Photos app has received its biggest update ever, giving users powerful new tools that make it easier to find what they’re looking for with a simpler, more customizable app design.
The new iPad Mini supports the new “Apple Intelligence” feature.
Designed around Apple information
The new “iPad Mini”, with the powerful “A17 Pro” chip, supports the “Apple Intelligence” system, especially since it is integrated into the core of the “iPad” system OS”, which enables it to benefit from it. the power of Apple’s silicon chips and the generation models that Apple built to understand and create language and images, take actions over apps, and leverage personal context to make everyday tasks simpler and faster.
The first set of Apple Intelligence features will be available in US English as a free software update this month with iPad OS 18, and will be available for iPads with the A17 Pro or M1 chip and later on.
