Raytracing is of no importance. I want 120Hz screen on iPad Mini

[oldskool.official]

60Hz again. This company doesn't want my money.

I sense Apple is trying to rid itself of the Mini. Horrible update given 3 years of waiting.

[MatthewMcMillion]

Supporting the new pencil is pointless if it still feels terrible because of the refresh rate

Solid processor, ram and storage upgrade for the iPad mini at the exact same price. I’ve personally been holding off on buying the 6th gen, so I’ll definitely be getting this one.

I mean considering the new worthwhile features are
1: 8GB in 7 vs 4GB in 6
2: A17 Pro in 7 vs A15 in 6
3: Apple Intelligence
4: double the base and max storage

I do believe that this mini could be a suitable upgrade for anyone that has an older iPad mini thats not the 6. Mainly because of the new storage options and ram which almost certainly includes the ability to download apps that require 8GB in the future.

$500 is just too steep for this considering an iPad Air is $599 and $420 for the M1. The previous $399 price point was a great value for the iPad Mini. Now? Not so much.

[ShellymanStudios]

Not even a 90Hz display, c'mon Apple.

I hope the A17 Pro supports Final Cut Pro.

Don't care for a "pro" mini, I'm actually pissed that now we HAVE to change to the Pencil Pro too.. I'm not using the mini to make art pieces, I just need to write notes !

[PavanSinghAneja]

I’m surprised they didn’t try to stick an M2 or at least go with the A18 Pro instead of the A17 Pro just to keep it up to date for longer, it’s already a 1 year old chip from day 1 as realistically this isn’t going to be updated for a couple of years now so putting an A18 Pro would future proofed it better

[winterheat]

are they going to have the October event? If so, why a separate announcement? For the "Back to School" sale?

[mchamids]

Are the old smart folios still compatible?

[joshuakarp]

No Promotion, No M chip... will pass. This is a Tim Cook special. Use up leftover parts that we need to use

Bought a MINI6 (256/cellular) about 18 months ago. For me, two problems. 1) keyboard mapping, as in how do you get to the question mark? 2) Needs to be more portrait oriented, as in Camera on the long edge, buttons more accessible. (my use in portrait mode is as a GPS in the car, so maybe 5%) Prolly wait for version 8.
Thank you for your insights re Apple products.

Can somebody please name what is the KIckStand that he is using on this video for the big ipad? I had been looking for something like that.

[Jorven-wz]

I'd pick one up.I've been thinking about getting a 6th gen Mini for a while, this update makes my decision easy. it's the best iPad size for me.and 8GB RAM + AI support makes it very appealing now.

[Sted]

They teased a IPad mini Pro, yet we got a ipad mini 7, I'm still planning to upgrade ( trade in ) my current iPad mini which I was patiently waiting for, but still I know they teased a 7 pro.

As a side note, if the 7 pro ends up being a sneaky attempt to up sell I'd just stick to the 7...

[Toyeboy]

Is jelly scroll fixed? please find out MacRumors? I would like to upgrade my superior iPad mini 5 that doesn't have jelly scroll.

[ArminSteiner]

So it will not support the Pencil 2.Gen?
