The eighth-generation iPad mini introduces an 8.5-inch OLED display with thinner bezels and a reduced overall weight of 255 grams. It is powered by the 2-nanometer A20 Pro chip and includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and an IP67 rating. However, the device is criticized for maintaining a 60 Hz refresh rate, omitting the ProMotion technology found in higher-end Apple devices.

Key points

  • Upgraded to an 8.5-inch OLED screen and A20 Pro silicon.
  • New features include an Acoustic Display speaker system and IP67 water resistance.
  • The display is limited to 60 Hz, lacking ProMotion support.
