Apple Updates iPad mini
From Apple Newsroom:
Apple today introduced the new iPad mini, supercharged by the A17 Pro chip and Apple Intelligence, the easy-to-use personal intelligence system that understands personal context to deliver intelligence that is helpful and relevant while protecting user privacy. With a beloved ultraportable design, the new iPad mini is available in four gorgeous finishes, including a new blue and purple, and features the brilliant 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display.
No doubt, better than nothing. But not much thought. I classify these sort of updates: if current one breaks, replacement hurts less. As an iPad mini Gen 6th owner, I don’t see any reason to update. This is fine for yearly updates, but for a product that is updated every 3 years, I’d expect to want to upgrade every cycle.
As usual, Michael Tsai’s aggregation of comments paints the best picture of public reactions. That said, with the increase to 128GB for the base $499 model, I still recommend the iPad mini for all us mini tablets fans.
