Apple is reusing the iPhone 15 Pro's A17 Pro chip for the iPad mini 7, but it's not quite the same chip - here's what's different.

We marked October 22 on the calendar and canceled our appointments. We were almost certain that Apple would hold its second fall keynote on that day and unveil new Macs and iPads. But then, just when we were expecting an invitation, Cupertino sent us instead a press release with details of the 7th-gen iPad mini… and nothing else.

The iPad mini 7 surprised us all when it was suddenly announced earlier this week. And another surprise is that one of its main upgrades isn't quite as potent as we thought.

Apple has officially announced the iPad mini 7 and it's not only the cheapest way to gain access Apple Intelligence but also the best, too.

After a three-year gap, Apple has finally updated the iPad mini. Here's what's changed in the seventh-gen model compared to the previous release.

While the new iPad mini is equipped with the A17 Pro chip that debuted in iPhone 15 Pro models, the iPad version of the chip has one downside.

After months of rumors, Apple finally showed off the new iPad mini with more storage, Apple Intelligence and Apple Pencil Pro support.

Inside, however, a lot has changed. The new iPad mini is powered by Apple's A17 Pro chip (that's the one from Apple's iPhone 15 Pro), and comes with 128/256/512GB of storage memory, doubling the starting storage from previous generation.

Apple announces a faster iPad mini for $499. It comes with Apple Intelligence and supports the Apple Pencil Pro.

Ahead of a possible October event, Apple unveiled its long-rumored iPad mini 7. These are all the highlights from this announcement.

The new iPad Mini, an updated version of the ultra-portable tablet computer from Apple that features several hardware and software improvements, including the A17 Pro chip, Apple Pencil Pro support, and Apple Intelligence—Apple's AI—is now available for pre-order ahead of its release on October 23 at a starting price of $499,
