What Can We Expect From Apples 2024 iPad Mini 7

I would really buy one if the cost is fair. Charging more for this device than an iPad Air from 2022 is ridiculous.

I agree, I really want this size, but the price seems so wrong.

I really dislike how Apple is only giving ProMotion to pro models without a good reason. A high refresh rate screen should be standard in 2024.

They still act like it’s 2016.

The A17 doesn’t have 6GB RAM, only 8. The A18 will be cheaper than the A17 based on production costs with the A17/M3 line.

The Mini 6 was revealed with the same chip as the iPhone on the same day. It’s getting the A18.

The iPad lineup seems a bit messy right now but I see how they got to where they are. They need something between the flagship Pro line and the regular iPad line. I’m not sure if the Air name fits. To me, it looks like they want to align it closer with Macs since Air is a Mac term.

Why not:

  • iPad Pro: the top workhorse, has everything that’s latest and best.

  • iPad: what the iPad Air is pretty much today.

  • iPad SE: what the 10th-gen iPad is right now.

The Mini doesn’t need to stand alone — just make it a size version for the entire range.

Yeah, this is a realistic view. If only Apple made a standalone version for businesses so that regular users could enjoy a proper iPad Mini with 120 Hz and OLED.

Since they should feature Apple Intelligence, I’d bet it would at least come with 8GB RAM and the A17 Pro or maybe the basic A18 (non-Pro).

They don’t even include OLED on the iPad Airs. iPad Mini OLED seems too far-fetched.

Absolutely, considering how stingy Apple is with giving non-Pro models features that Pro ones have. It’s just a dream.

True, but Apple could if they wanted and still keep a good profit margin. This is just their way of getting more money from people, which is interesting since now you can see OLED screens on $200 smartphones.

All I ask for is a brighter display.

OLED and 120hz would be amazing.

OLED and 120hz would be amazing.

If the Air is still at 60HZ, this one will be too.

Exactly. The mini will at least match the Air but likely be a limited version.

OLED and 120 Hz is a wishful dream. This is Apple after all.

I hope I’m wrong, but I would be so shocked if it included these features.
