Spain (K-Tuin)iPad Mini 7 vs iPad Mini 6: What’s the Difference?
Looking for a powerful new iPad that fits anywhere? Now that the seventh-generation iPad mini has arrived, we’re comparing its technical specifications with the sixth-generation model. Three years have passed between the two, so there are quite a few subtle yet interesting changes worth checking out. Let’s dive in!
iPad mini 7 vs iPad mini 6: Differences in Design
The iPad mini 2024 design retains its aluminum finish and a range of colors: space grey, starlight, and two new shades—blue and purple. Additionally, you’ll notice a small new detail: on the back of the iPad mini 7, you’ll see the words “iPad mini.” The sixth-generation model, however, comes in space grey, starlight, pink, and purple, with just “iPad” engraved. A slight touch that only a few will notice!
iPad mini 7 vs iPad mini 6: Difference in Processor and Chipset
This is the most significant change in this new generation: the iPad mini 7 is equipped with the A17 Pro chip. So, when Apple Intelligence becomes available in UAE, you can fully utilize it even on the Apple’s smallest tablet. Another improvement you'll notice is hardware-accelerated ray tracing for gaming, giving the new iPad mini 7 a significant edge for gaming enthusiasts over the iPad mini 6.
Additionally, compared to the A15 Bionic chip in the iPad mini 6, the iPad mini 7 is ready to take full advantage of all the new features in iPadOS 18, including the new Calculator app, Math Notes, and SharePlay with remote control.
Another point worth mentioning is that the USB-C port on the iPad mini 7 now has a speed of up to 10 GB/s, allowing you to back up and transfer data between this iPad mini and other devices much faster.
Did you know the physical SIM tray in the iPad mini 7 has been removed? Now, if you purchase the Wi-Fi + Cellular version of the iPad mini 7, you’ll need to set up an eSIM to use mobile data.
iPad Mini 2024 is now compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro!
Another important difference with the iPad mini 7 is its compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro, the most advanced stylus on the market. It also includes the new Hover Pointer feature. And if you ever need a writing session, don’t be intimidated by the screen size—you can use the iPad mini with any Bluetooth keyboard.
