Apple announced an iPad mini with an A20 Pro chip and an 8.5-inch OLED display, with preorders opening October 28 and availability beginning November 6. Apple says the device delivers up to 4.5x faster AI performance than the previous generation, including for running local language models. The chip adds Neural Accelerators in each GPU core and more than doubles unified memory bandwidth. The tablet also adds IP67 water and dust resistance, Wi-Fi 7 and a display option that reduces glare. The Dual 16-core Neural Engine is limited to the 512GB configuration. Siri AI is rolling out in beta with iPadOS 27, while extended support for an external display comes with iPadOS 27.2.
