This is a nice bonus, they could have just put the 4 Core GPU A15 in, but put in the 5 core GPU instead. A lot of people play games on the Mini so this will slightly improve performance in this regard. This little Mini 6 is more powerful in every way than the Ipad Pro 2020 !!!
This is the reason why I went for a MacBook Air and never updated my 2nd Gen IPP.
Well you are wrong! Talk with some Apple iOS developers in their off hours! Plus, I have an engineering degree. Google that if you don’t believe me!
The iPad mini is 60Hz, just like every other Apple iPad.
But, but, the new one only has 4GB of DRAM and is already obsolete and you’re a sucker if you buy one because it won’t last 15 years…Maybe it’s time to retire my Mini first generation
Still works fine for my kids’ Osmo and most apps!
Most forum members expectations are not aligned with the general Apple customer I would just ignore it. The iPad Pro with an A10 has 4GB of RAM and even after so many years it does not feel slow and this is coming from a relative who has one. Most people who purchase iPad mini do so without the intent (there are a few special people who will try and complain) to do iPad Pro or larger screen tasks. I use my mini for surfing safari, videos, email and other basic tasks along with office activities. If I want to use the pencil for note taking or doodling then the option exists but don’t see me doing so. Portability was key and Apple nailed it, just curious to see how it feels in my hand size.
I see your “/s” these iPad’s will be long updated by then and the battery will probably require replacing before the 4GB RAM ever becomes an issue for most.
I suspect Apple may finally transition the iPhone line to USB-C in 2022 as it was working through the iPad lineup excluding the iPad 10.2” which will probably receive it in 2022 or may just get discontinued it’s a sore thumb product that I understand where it fits but is the stepchild of the family.
Seems like these complaining users are just hardware specs junkies, the iPad mini announcement was the best thing from yesterday’s event, even if it is not updated for the next two years it will hold up well considering the last one design was in production for close to a decade.
It goes because your iPad has cellular but it has nothing to do with your watch, which also get iMessage because it has cellular as well but they don't work in tandem.
I had 2 iPad before this Air 3 I'm using and both had 5 years of usage with up to date OS before I sold them to another person. This is pure BS.
I've had no problems with updates on any of the iPad versions I have had, and all but a couple have less than 4GB of RAM. (and one of those couple is the new one I just bought.)
It'll be fine in 4 years, though probably not 6. I actually still have a 2nd gen iPad that still works, though it hasn't got updates for quite some time.
