In fact, this year’s iPad Air and iPad mini releases feature an almost entirely parallel set of upgrades from their predecessors. In addition to the new chips and Apple Pencil Pro support, here are a few of the smaller things that have changed in the new iPad mini (and the M2 iPad Air).

After three long years (and one long month) of waiting, Apple has finally unveiled the 7th-gen iPad mini. It did so today in a press release rather than holding a media event, and the reasons for this diffidence become apparent when you see how much, or rather how little, has changed.

The 2024 iPad mini is arguably the most powerful small tablet in the world. It's just not solving any of the practical problems that plagued its predecessor.
