iPad Mini 7 Benchmarks Confirm 8GB RAM, 5-Core GPU's Slower Speeds

Then you should start asking questions, because the iPad Air has a binned M2 as well, with only 9 of the 10 GPU cores enabled. Basically the same thing that Apple is doing with the A17 Pro in the mini.

And my iPad Pro has a binned M4 too.

Doesn't every new generation of an Apple product have better performance than it's predecessor?

Not in every dimension. An example is the SSD speed of MacBooks with one SSD chip instead of two of its predecessors of the same capacity.

Very popular* tech blogger/influencer, that Apple always gets to review their products, but she doesn't only review Apple products. (*On YouTube she has multiple millions of subscribers for example.)

She is not very technical in her reviews, but presents well with polished videos, which is probably why she is popular with mainstream consumers and not so much with geek types at MacRumors.

Ah. A she?

Millions of followers, you say? Then I’m presuming she’s good looking …

These are guesses but: Smiles into the camera a lot… Long haired? Probably blonde. Tightish blouses or sleeveless tops/cardies. I’m thinking US center-right news anchorwoman level makeup…
