Apple has just unveiled the latest iPad mini in 2024, and it’s packed with powerful features that make it perfect for everything from creative projects to gaming and even everyday tasks. Supercharged by the A17 Pro chip, this pint-sized powerhouse is more versatile than ever, delivering lightning-fast performance with improved wireless capabilities and exciting new Apple Intelligence features.
At the heart of the new iPad mini is the A17 Pro chip, which makes this version faster than ever before. Whether you’re editing photos, diving into immersive augmented reality (AR) apps, or multitasking on the go, the A17 Pro ensures a smooth, seamless experience. It even supports the newly launched Apple Intelligence features, available via a free update this month with iPadOS 18.1.
The iPad mini has always been a fan favourite for its size, and this model stays true to its roots with an ultraportable 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display. The device comes in four stunning finishes, including new shades of blue and purple, making it a stylish addition to your everyday carry.
With support for Wi-Fi 6E, the new iPad mini offers up to twice the wireless performance of its predecessor, ensuring quicker downloads, smoother gaming, and buffer-free streaming wherever you are.
The 12MP wide rear camera on the iPad mini isn’t just for taking great photos. With Smart HDR 4, it captures more natural-looking photos with better dynamic range. The camera also leverages machine learning to detect and scan documents directly in the Camera app, which is ideal for work on the go.
The new iPad mini is compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, unlocking new creative capabilities. Whether you’re sketching, designing, or jotting down notes, the Apple Pencil Pro’s squeeze-to-switch feature makes it easy to change tools without interrupting your workflow. This is a great companion for creatives who want to turn their iPad into a portable sketchbook.
Gamers will love the hardware-accelerated ray tracing and support for Dynamic Caching on the new iPad mini. With 4x faster ray tracing than before, games look incredibly lifelike, and demanding AAA titles like Zenless Zone Zero run smoothly.
iPadOS 18 brings fun new tools for students and anyone who loves math. The all-new Calculator app allows users to solve equations using Apple Pencil, while Math Notes lets you handwrite or type mathematical expressions and see them solved instantly. Plus, the new history function makes it easier to review past calculations.
Despite all its power and capabilities, the new iPad mini keeps up with you throughout the day, thanks to its all-day battery life. Whether you’re working, studying, or creating, you won’t have to worry about constantly plugging in.
Starting at just RM2,199 for the 128GB model, the new iPad mini offers immense value packed into a small, portable form.
