According to recent announcements, Apple has just revealed the iPad Mini 7 to the public in a surprise press release, and the device has received some significant updates. It was previously speculated that the product would feature an A17 Pro chip or the latest A18 chip. It appears that the company has opted for the former and reserved the latter for the iPhone. Aside from that, the iPad Mini 7 will come with 8 GB of RAM, compared to the 4 GB in the iPad Mini 6.
The company has apparently started a series of updates for all its devices, and the new tablet is part of its plan to expand the Apple Intelligence market. That said, 8 GB of RAM in the iPad Mini 7 will bring Apple Intelligence to Apple’s budget tablet. However, the increased RAM will also be beneficial for many other tasks, such as faster app loading times and improved multitasking. The A17 Pro chip in the iPad Mini 7 is not the same chip as in the iPhone 15 Pro models, as there are slight variations.
