Apple has announced the launch of the new iPad Mini 7, three years after the previous model.
Supercharged by the A17 Pro chip, which operates twice as fast as the sixth generation, it’s already being billed as the tech giant’s most powerful version yet. This means the iPad Mini 7 is built to offer Apple Intelligence (AI) features for the first time.
In exciting news for tech heads, hero features include AI-powered writing tools, an all-improved Siri, and increased data protection. The five-core GPU brings ray tracing too, which essentially means higher quality graphics when playing games.

The iPad Mini also boasts all-day battery life and double the storage of the previous model.
With four colours to choose from (space grey, blue, purple, and starlight), an 8.3 inch display, and 12-megapixel camera, it certainly looks good too.
