Apple has today, ahead of the speculated time, unveiled the new iPad mini with support for Apple Intelligence. This 7th generation model comes with a much more powerful chipset in the form of the A17 Pro and even supports the Apple Pencil Pro, just like the iPad Pro M4 and iPad Air with the M2 chipset. Notably, the iPad mini has been updated after a gap of three years, and this could be a significant upgrade for those considering a new purchase, especially with the addition of support for Apple Intelligence. Another major advantage is that Apple now offers 128GB as the base storage, instead of the 64GB featured in the outgoing model.
