I’m sorry but this is DOA
128gb, no ProMotion, no significant tweaking to iPadOS for this size display, and $699 starting price is just not gonna work.
Looks like this is going to be a week of Apple press releases, starting today with the new OLED iPad Mini
- 8.5" OLED display
- A20 Pro chip
- "Acoustic display" instead of speaker grilles
- IP67 rating
- N1 and C2 chips
- Starting at $699 (+$200 from last gen)
My take: WAY better screen, WAY better chip, so a very welcome refresh. Very curious to try this audio system. but also I can't find any mention of 120Hz or ProMotion on the website, so.... 60Hz?

I’m sure for the iPad mini fans this is great but I doubt it will be drawing in many newcomers with this price. iPadOS on this size screen is abysmal and unacceptable, the Duo has really shown how to make a mini tablet display work effectively
@ChristianSelig That’s a good point, and since web designers have had more or less the same canvas to build mobile sites on for more than a decade now it does seem odd to make all these changes for one device
This is how I'd fix the iPhone Duo's ridiculous sidebar. I call it Twin Islands.
Two little glass bars: one around the camera for statuses, one at the bottom for app controls.
Apps get the full width of the screen. Controls stay under your thumb. Thoughts?
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X
