iPad mini AI-READY DESIGN: THE A17 CHIP POWERHOUSE IN A COMPACT SIZE

The robust tool was designed to meet the demands of both personal and professional users. It is now equipped with the powerful A17 Pro chip and integrated with Apple Intelligence, promising to deliver a powerful and deeply personal experience.

THE ALL-NEW IPAD MINI

Available in four elegant finishes—blue, purple, starlight, and space gray—the iPad mini retains its beloved 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display. However, beneath its sleek exterior lies a host of advancements that make it more capable and versatile. At the heart of the new iPad mini is the A17 Pro chip, a technological marvel representing a significant leap over its predecessor, the A15 Bionic. The A17 Pro features a 6-core CPU with two performance cores and four efficiency cores, delivering a 30% boost in CPU performance. This means faster app launches, smoother multitasking, and easy handling of complex tasks. Complementing the CPU is a 5-core GPU, offering a 25% increase in graphics performance. This enhancement is particularly noticeable in graphics-intensive applications such as 3D modeling, video editing, and gaming.

The A17 Pro also introduces hardwareaccelerated ray tracing, four times faster than software-based solutions. This technology brings console-quality graphics to the iPad mini, delivering true-to-life visuals and immersive experiences. The chip’s 16core Neural Engine is twice as fast as the previous generation, enabling advanced machine learning tasks. This includes realtime language translation, predictive text input, and intelligent image processing. The Neural Engine is pivotal in powering Apple Intelligence, allowing the device to understand and anticipate user needs while maintaining strict privacy protocols.
