@Apple finally gave the iPad mini an OLED screen. It's 8.5 inches now, with 24% thinner bezels but roughly the same footprint. Peak HDR brightness reaches 1,200 nits, and there's even a nano-texture option on the 256GB and 512GB models.
The new mini is just 5.4mm thin and weighs 255g (Wi-Fi model), with IP67 water resistance. Apple also redesigned the speakers into what it calls an Acoustic Display, with woofers coupled through the screen and tweeters hidden between the glass and aluminum. Pretty neat for such a small tablet.
A20 Pro brings a big jump in graphics and on-device AI. One detail worth knowing: only the 512GB version gets the 6-core CPU and dual 16-core Neural Engine.
And yes, still no ProMotion 🤷

Love the iPad mini and have used it for so many years in different versions, but skipping this generation and giving iPhone Duo a chance instead.
