[Gearbest Technology]In Apple’s huge product matrix, the iPad mini has won the favor of many users with its unique positioning – the perfect combination of its compact body and powerful performance. Unlike the annual update mode strictly followed by the iPhone series, the iPad mini update rhythm seems to be more relaxed. Since the launch of iPad mini 6 in 2021, its outstanding performance not only consolidates the position of the iPad mini series in the market, but also inspires users to have infinite imagination about the next generation of products.
Nowadays, as time goes by, according to the past release rules of Apple’s products, this 8.3-inch small masterpiece has quietly entered its natural trajectory of renewal. The market, media and consumers are closely following every move of the iPad mini 7, hoping that it can bring more surprising innovations and upgrades on the basis of inheriting the advantages of the previous generation.
New display
Although iPad mini 6 is widely praised, the “jelly screen” and water ripple problems are like lingering shadows, frequently appearing in user feedback and online discussions. As the physical limitations of LCD screens, the difficulty of solving these two problems is self-evident. However, Apple has not stopped because of this. According to the latest news, the iPad mini 7 will make important adjustments in its design to alleviate or even alleviate the “jelly screen” phenomenon.
The “jelly screen” phenomenon is specifically manifested in the fact that when browsing vertical screens, the content shaking due to the difference in refresh rate on both sides of the screen, which is like jelly unstable, which seriously affects the user’s visual experience. In response to this stubborn problem, Apple decided to make drastic reforms to the direction of screen assembly during the development of iPad mini 7, aiming to reduce the visual impact of inconsistent screen refresh rate through the optimization of physical structure.
It is worth noting that although Apple is working hard to optimize the “jelly screen” problem on the iPad mini 7, it may still take some time to completely eliminate this phenomenon. After all, the physical properties of LCD screens determine their limitations in certain specific scenarios. In addition, in terms of the positioning and price of iPad mini, it is unlikely that the iPad mini7 will solve the “jelly screen” phenomenon in one step.
Regarding the screen refresh rate of the iPad mini 7, it is currently generally expected to continue the previous generation’s 60Hz standard. This is mainly due to the potential compatibility challenges between the LCD panel and ProMotion high refresh rate technology, which makes the application prospects of this technology on the iPad mini 7 unclear. Netizens are also on the wait-and-see attitude, believing that given the current solid and successful market positioning of the iPad mini series, Apple may not be rushing to introduce high-end technical features such as high refresh rate screens into this series to maintain a balance between its product positioning and cost control.
Whether the iPad mini series will introduce high-end features such as high refresh rate screens in the future is still an unknown that is worth looking forward to.
Stronger performance
In terms of processor selection, the iPad mini 7 is expected to be equipped with the A16 chip. Compared with the previous generation, the A16 chip will bring about an improvement of about 42% of CPU multi-core performance and an improvement of about 35% of GPU performance. Such performance upgrades ensure that when the iPad mini 7 copes with diverse usage scenarios, whether it is handling daily office tasks, enjoying high-quality entertainment and gaming experience, or conducting professional creative work, it can show extremely high efficiency and fluency.
Of course, there are also speculations on the market that the iPad mini 7 may be equipped with a higher-level A17 or a newer generation of chips, but these speculations have not been confirmed by reliable channels. However, even with the A16 chip as the benchmark, the performance of iPad mini 7 is enough to meet the expectations and needs of most users.
In terms of memory configuration, iPad mini 7 has also achieved an important upgrade, and will provide 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR5 running memory options. Compared with the previous generation of LPDDR4X, this upgrade will help improve the device’s multitasking efficiency and game running performance. This improvement is undoubtedly a practical plus for users who pursue efficient work and entertainment experiences.
Other configuration aspects
In terms of intelligent interaction, iPad mini 7 will usher in a major upgrade of Siri voice assistant. By introducing an intelligent response framework and integrating advanced LLM (large language model) technology, Siri will become smarter and be able to respond to user instructions and problems faster and more accurately.
In terms of network connectivity, iPad mini 7 may support the latest Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 standards. The addition of these technologies not only improves the network connection stability of the equipment, but also greatly accelerates the data transmission speed.
In terms of appearance and color, the iPad mini 7 is expected to continue and innovate its color series. In addition to retaining the beloved deep space gray, starlight, pink and purple, colors from the iPhone 15 series may also be introduced, such as black, blue, green, yellow, etc., to bring more personalized choices to users.
Regarding the upgrade of software and functions, although the specific details are yet to be revealed, the outside world generally expects that the iPad mini 7 will also bring software-level optimization while improving the hardware. For example, the introduction of new technologies such as Photonic Engine, as well as possible supporting features such as ProRes video recording, audio zoom, stereo audio recording, portrait mode and portrait lighting, will further expand the application scenarios of the iPad mini 7.
In terms of price, although the iPad mini 7 has upgraded its configuration and performance, Apple is expected to maintain its cost-effective tradition to ensure that the price of the new product does not rise sharply, which is undoubtedly good news for consumers.
Written at the end
Although iPad mini 7 is not a disruptive update, it has achieved steady improvements in many aspects such as intelligent interaction, network connection, appearance design, software functions, etc., and the comprehensive experience is better than that of previous generations.
