OLED iPad Mini is The Most Apple Product They've Ever Appled

The gist

1. Brownlee says the new iPad Mini is thinner and lighter, with an 8.5-inch OLED screen, and weighs almost the same as an iPhone 18 Pro Max.

2. It uses the A20 Pro chip, and Brownlee found it throttled less than an iPhone 18 Pro after 20 benchmark loops.
3. Pricing starts at $700 for 128GB, the full chip needs the $1,000 512GB model, and nano-texture requires at least 256GB, making it $900.
4. Brownlee calls the 60Hz display a personal dealbreaker and thinks Apple keeps it to protect the price ladder above the iPad Air.
5. It is the first iPad rated IP67, with speaker holes removed for hidden speakers that can make the iPad vibrate at high volume.
