🖥️ Display & Design

It retains the sleek 8.3‑inch Liquid Retina display (2,266 × 1,488 resolution at 326 ppi) with wide P3 color, True Tone, fully laminated glass, and anti-reflective coating—delivering sharp visuals up to 500 nits brightness.

⚙️ Performance & Storage

Powered by the 3nm A17 Pro chip—with a 6‑core CPU (2 high‑performance 3.78 GHz + 4 efficiency cores) and a 5‑core custom GPU—it delivers 30% faster CPU, 25% faster graphics, and twice the neural engine speed compared to the mini 6. With 8 GB RAM and storage options of 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB, it’s built for responsive multitasking and fluid app performance.

📷 Camera, Audio & Battery

Onboard is a 12 MP ƒ/1.8 rear camera with autofocus, True Tone flash, and 4K video capture up to 60fps. The 12 MP ultra-wide front camera includes Smart HDR 4 and supports Center Stage during video calls. Stereo speakers and a three‑mic array deliver high-quality audio and voice capture. Battery life is rated at 10 hours of typical usage, and users often report even longer playback.

It’s compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro and USB‑C Apple Pencil, and supports hover and precision input. Touch ID is integrated in the power button. Note: it’s not compatible with the Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard Folio due to its compact size.
