After a three-year hiatus, Apple finally refreshed the iPad Mini with a new seventh generation model for 2024. Starting at $484 on Amazon, the new Apple iPad Mini features the same 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, same weight and dimensions, and same single 12-megapixel camera system as its predecessor — which was released in 2021.

However, the new model has increased storage starting at 128GB, increased memory starting at 8GB of RAM and a new processor — as it jumps up from the Apple A15 Bionic to Apple A17 Pro.

And since it has a new chipset, the new Apple iPad Mini features the new Apple Intelligence suite of A.I. tools for advanced writing, image creation and search, photo editing and much more.
