The seventh-generation iPad mini offers the same 8.3-inch display as the previous model. But inside is the A17 Pro chip, the same processor inside the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Along with faster performance, that will also unlock access to Apple Intelligence when it arrives later this month.
The tablet is also compatible with the new Apple Pencil Pro or the Apple Pencil (USB-C).
