Apple iPad mini offers a redesigned Photos app

Apple introduced the new iPad mini, featuring the A17 Pro chip and Apple Intelligence. The new iPad mini is available in four gorgeous finishes, including a new blue and purple, and features the 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display. A17 Pro has a faster CPU and GPU, a 2x faster Neural Engine than the previous-generation iPad mini. and support for Apple Intelligence. The new iPad mini adds Apple Pencil Pro. The 12MP wide back camera supports Smart HDR 4 for natural-looking photos with increased dynamic range, and uses machine learning to detect and scan documents right in the Camera app.

The new iPad mini features all-day battery life and brand-new experiences with iPadOS 18, starting at $499 with 128GB. Customers can pre-order the new iPad mini today, with availability Oct. 23.

The first set of Apple Intelligence features will be available in U.S. English this month through a free software update with iPadOS 18.1, and available for iPad with A17 Pro or M1 and later. In Photos, the Memories feature now enables users to create the movies they want to see by simply typing a description, and with the new Clean Up tool, they can identify and remove distracting objects in the background of a photo — without accidentally altering the subject.
