Apple is just not slowing down, following its recent home appliance announcements, the Cupertino-based tech giant has introduced a redesigned iPad mini, bringing a larger OLED display, a new A20 Pro chip and improved durability to its smallest tablet. The launch comes two years after the previous model received a relatively modest chip and storage upgrade, making this a more substantial update. The new iPad mini comes with an 8.5-inch display, up from 8.3 inches on its predecessor, while retaining the same overall footprint with slimmer bezels. Apple has also made the tablet thinner and lighter, with a 5.4mm body and IP67-rated water and dust resistance. Here's everything you need to know about the new iPad mini, including its specifications, India price and availability.

The new iPad mini comes with an 8.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, with the US-based tech giant claiming peak brightness of up to 1,200 nits for outdoor use. Buyers can also opt for a nano-texture finish designed to reduce glare in bright surroundings. The tablet is going to be available in Midnight and Starlight colour options.
The tablet is powered by the Apple's A20 Pro chip, built using a 2-nanometre process. Storage options go up to 512GB, although the processor configuration varies by variant. The 128GB and 256GB models feature a 5-core CPU with two super cores and three efficiency cores, alongside a 16-core Neural Engine. The 512GB model gets a 6-core CPU with two super cores and four efficiency cores, along with a dual 16-core Neural Engine.
The iPad runs iPadOS 27 and supports the next generation of Apple Intelligence and Siri AI, which is available in beta. For video calls, it houses a 12-megapixel Center Stage front camera positioned along the landscape edge, while the rear also gets a 12-megapixel camera.
Other features include an Acoustic Display, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread support. Cellular variants use Apple's C2 modem and support eSIM. The device is compatible with Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil USB-C.
