Apple iPad Mini (2024) Goes Global
Apple enthusiasts worldwide can now get their hands on the latest Apple iPad mini (2024). Announced just last week, this new tablet packs a punch with upgraded features and enhanced performance. The device boasts a starting price of $500 for the Wi-Fi-only model with 128GB of storage, marking a significant upgrade from its predecessor’s offering.
But that’s not all. Apple has also introduced a Wi-Fi + Cellular version for those who need connectivity on the go, priced at $650. And if you’re someone who craves ample storage space, you’ll be pleased to know that the iPad mini (2024) also comes in 256GB and 512GB variants.
Powering the iPad Mini: Apple A17 Pro and Apple Intelligence
Under the hood, the star of the show is undoubtedly the Apple A17 Pro chipset, also known as the iPhone 15 Pro’s powerhouse but with some slight downgrades. This advanced processor, coupled with a generous 8GB of RAM, enables the iPad mini to run Apple Intelligence, Apple’s highly anticipated AI platform. While the tablet is available globally now, Apple Intelligence will arrive soon via a software update to iPadOS 18.1, bringing the first wave of AI features to users.
However, there’s a catch. Initially, Apple Intelligence will only be available in US English, catering specifically to users in the United States. Nevertheless, with the promise of more features in the coming months, this tablet is sure to excite users worldwide.
Enhanced Connectivity and Supercharged Speeds
In terms of connectivity, the new iPad mini leaves its predecessor in the dust. It proudly supports Wi-Fi 6E (ax), a notable upgrade from the standard Wi-Fi 6. But that’s not where the improvements end. The USB-C 3.2 Gen2 port is now capable of blistering speeds of up to 10Gbps, doubling the data transfer rates of the previous generation.
If you’re eager to get your hands on the Apple iPad mini (2024), head over to Apple’s online store to place your order. And don’t forget to keep an eye out for that imminent iPadOS 18.1 update, which will unlock the power of Apple Intelligence on your new tablet.
