Apple unveiled the iPad mini 7 earlier this week, which I consider an amazing upgrade over its predecessor even though it’s practically identical to the iPad mini 6 in terms of design. At $499, you get a tablet that can run Apple Intelligence thanks to the iPhone 15 Pro’s chipset. That’s the A17 Pro that Apple introduced last year, paired with 8GB of RAM.
I said at the time the iPad mini 7 would be a tremendously powerful computer despite rocking less potent chips in terms of graphics. We now have benchmarks that prove the iPad mini 7 performance is in line with the iPhone 15 Pro. Also, the benchmarks show the smaller iPad is the second-best Apple tablet you can purchase, performance-wise, after the M4 iPad Pro.
