Apple iPad Mini 2024 launched with A17 Pro chip, AI features

Apple has officially introduced its latest iPad Mini (2024) to the Indian market, offering a significant upgrade over its predecessor, which launched in 2021.

The new iPad Mini is powered by the A17 Pro chipset, bringing enhanced performance, AI capabilities, and expanded storage. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what this compact powerhouse has to offer.

The iPad Mini (2024) is available for pre-order starting today, with official sales kicking off on October 23.

The Wi-Fi-only model is priced at Rs 49,900, while the Wi-Fi + Cellular variant starts at Rs 64,900. The device is available in four colour options: blue, purple, starlight, and space grey.

Apple has also announced special pricing for students and educators, making the device even more accessible.

The new iPad Mini features an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 1,488 x 2,266 pixels.

The display, while not boasting a 120Hz refresh rate like the Pro models, still operates at a smooth 60Hz, making it ideal for everyday tasks and media consumption.

One of the standout features of the new iPad Mini is its support for Apple Intelligence, which comes with iPadOS 18.1. With the powerful Neural Engine, the device can leverage AI to summarise and proofread text, transform sketches into polished images, and enhance Siri’s ability to follow context across multiple commands.
