The iPad is undoubtedly one of Apple’s best products, and the iPad Mini is a successful iteration of it. Two years after the last major upgrade of this product took place, we are finally seeing a new version in the form of the iPad Mini 6. Here is everything you need to know about this new device.
A Complete Redesign
The new iPad Mini was announced during Apple’s keynote event in September. Amongst many other products, one that caught everyone’s attention was that of the iPad Mini. Apple announced that this product had undergone a complete redesign, and this would make it very different from its previous iterations.
It has also been given an upgrade concerning many of the major technical features. This includes an A15 Bionic chip to help power the device, in addition to an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display. These are big leaps forwards and will help to make this device more powerful and easier for customers to use. On top of this, they have introduced support for other Apple devices, such as the Apple Pencil 2. With improved cameras too, it is clear that they want to make a device that will attract existing loyal Apple customers plus new ones who may have never tried an iPad Mini before.
Making Good Use of Those Specs
The upgrade to the specs will be something that interests many. Even consumers without a good basis of technical knowledge should be able to tell that Apple has made some advancements here. That A15 Bionic chip makes this device into something very powerful. It is actually more powerful than its larger counterparts – both the iPad Air and the latest iPad, the latter of which will be using the A13 instead.
The slightly larger screen will also prove to be a big draw for many different customers. Whether a user wants to read a newspaper, play a hand of cards at ggpoker.co.uk, fight it out in the Fortnite landscape or take and edit photos, they will be able to do so easily on a device that offers a maximum brightness of 500 nits and True Tone to make viewing that bit more comfortable for all eyes.
5G Compatible
One of the most interesting features of this new device by far is the fact that it will be 5G compatible. There are already several phone models on the market that are compatible with 5G, including iPhones, so it only makes sense that other mobile devices such as tablets will have this support too.
5G rollout has been quite slow across the world so far. Though some countries have adopted it, there are many who are either choosing to opt out or have yet to set it up in any significant way. Apple will no doubt be appealing to those markets that have 5G with the release of compatible devices like this iPad Mini, but there is no denying that this will be a useful feature for any owner who lives in a country where 5G is slowly rolling out.
This is the latest step forward for Apple in the tablet spheres, and it is likely to be a popular one. The iPad Minis of the past have always been popular products and there is no reason why this one won’t continue that trend. It is available in four colours – black, white, pink, and purple, and has been available to buy since the 24th of September. This is undoubtedly meant to be one of this tech giant’s big releases in the run-up to the holiday season, and should be a big hit for them!
