New iPad mini vs previous model: Here’s everything new

Apple unveiled a new iPad mini today, and it’s a big upgrade over the previous model. Here’s everything new.

The new iPad mini look similar to the previous model, but also fresh and more modern thanks to two main design changes:

You may or may not notice, but the new mini is also slightly more narrow, measuring 132.6mm wide vs 134.8mm. And it weighs less: 255 grams vs 293 for Wi-Fi models.

The front-facing Center Stage camera is now positioned on the landscape side of the device rather than portrait.

Apple now offers the iPad mini in two colors: Midnight and Starlight. Previously more options were available, including Space Gray and Starlight, but the latest colors still have an updated look.

Thanks to the reduced bezels, the new iPad mini now has a larger, 8.5-inch display. The previous model’s was only 8.3 inches.

Perhaps a more significant change is that the display is OLED, a big upgrade from the LCD technology used before. Apple says this enables “pixel-level lighting control for much deeper blacks and support for the P3 wide color gamut for more vivid and accurate imagery.”

The display gets much brighter than before too, with peak brightness of 1200 nits, double the previous max of 600. Standard SDR and HDR brightness is 600 nits, up from 500. It also supports 1-nit minimum brightness for use in dim environments.

Apple now lets you optionally choose a nano-texture display on 256GB models and up. iPad mini has never previously offered nano-texture.
