Apple's Tiny Tablet Gets A Big Update
The new iPad mini receives a positive review for its performance, OLED display, and build quality, though the $699 starting price is noted as a significant increase. Key upgrades include the A20 Pro chip, IP67 water resistance, and optional nano-texture glass.
Why it matters
The price hike and feature set reflect Apple's strategy of positioning the iPad mini as a premium, high-performance device rather than a budget tablet.
Apple made significant improvements this year, but they don’t come cheap.
