The New, Better iPad mini Now Sports a Slightly Larger ‘Pro’-Level Display

The iPad mini is back, and Apple is arguing that the pint-sized tablet deserves your attention now more than ever. The new iPad mini has a slightly larger 8.5-inch display (up from 8.3-inch) and is now packing a load of small tweaks alongside the headlining switch from an LCD to OLED display. The new iPad mini is also water- and dust-resistant with an IP67 rating and available in a nano-texture display option (on the 256GB and 512GB versions) for the very first time. The upgrades may make it the perfect companion device for your Apple-centric lifestyle with a screen that can—finally—compete more with your iPhone.

The new iPad mini is powered by an A20 Pro chip with a 6-core CPU, a 7-core GPU, and up to a dual 16-core Neural Engine (only available on the 512GB storage model)—the same as the latest iPhone 18 Pro. That’s going to represent a big upgrade from the last version, which used an A17 Pro chip, especially if you’re keen on efficiency. In addition, Apple moved the front-facing 12-megapixel “Center Stage” camera from the portrait to the landscape side of the tablet, matching the orientation on the rest of its iPad lineup.

Apple has also changed the speakers. Instead of firing out of grilles positioned on the sides, the new iPad mini uses an “Acoustic Display” that hides “custom tweeters” between the “glass and aluminum enclosure” for “punchier bass and more volume” and “clearer highs,” according to Apple. We’ll have to hear for ourselves how good it sounds without the traditional speaker grilles.
