apple The iPad company announced a new iPad mini on Tuesday, offering the first update to its smallest tablet since 2021.
The new iPad mini comes with a faster A17 Pro processor, which is the same chip that was in last year's iPhone 15 Pro. This means it supports Apple Intelligence, the company's new set of artificial intelligence features that will slowly start rolling out to users this month.
During the company's third fiscal quarter, Apple showed the strongest growth in its iPad segment, which grew about 24% year over year after it introduced several new iPads for the first time since 2022.
Apple's smallest iPad has attracted a fan base of users who appreciate its portable 8.3-inch screen for reading books or taking notes. The iPad Mini supports the latest version of the Apple Pencil Pro, which was introduced alongside the iPads Pro earlier this year.
Starting at $499, it can be pre-ordered now and will launch in stores on October 23.
