Ahead of its scheduled “Pro and tell” event later this week, Apple has refreshed the iPad mini. This update brings a slew of upgrades, some of which were already detailed in prior leaks. Touted as the tech giant’s most versatile and capable iPad mini thus far, this 8th-generation model sports a thin and lightweight body measuring 5.4mm and weighing either 255g or 263g depending on the variant. It also comes with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.
The tablet sports a bigger 8.5-inch OLED screen, thanks to the 24% slimmer bezels. This Super Retina XDR display offers a 2,316 x 1,512 pixel resolution, 1,200 nits of peak brightness, as well as support for the P3 wide colour gamut. Apple is also offering both standard glass and nano-texture options, though the latter is only available for the 256GB and 512GB models.
