Editor's Pick: Apple finally remembered the iPad mini! 🍎 On October 26, Apple officially unveiled the all-new 8th-generation iPad mini. This time it's not just a routine upgrade—it's a major update across the display, performance, and body design!
Finally an OLED display! The new iPad mini upgrades to an 8.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, with bezels narrowed by 24% and peak brightness reaching 1200 nits, delivering clearer visuals and more vibrant colors. It also offers a Nano-texture glass option for the first time. That said, the refresh rate is still 60Hz—a slight letdown.
🚀 A20 Pro performance gets a big upgrade! It's powered by the all-new 2nm A20 Pro chip, with CPU multi-threaded performance up to 60% faster than the previous generation, GPU performance up to 2.7x faster, and AI performance up to 4.5x faster! Whether you're gaming, editing videos, or running Apple Intelligence, everything runs more smoothly.
✨ Thinner and lighter—and it's even water-resistant! The new model's thickness is reduced to 5.4mm (about 0.21 inches), with further weight reduction, and it adds IP67 dust and water resistance for the first time. For audio, it uses new Acoustic Display technology for a better sound experience. It also upgrades to a landscape 12MP Center Stage front camera, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and supports fast charging—up to 50% charge in 30 minutes.
💰 Price and release date: The new iPad mini comes in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB capacities, in Midnight and Starlight finishes. US pricing starts at $699, with the cellular model starting at $849. Pre-orders open October 28, with official sales starting November 6.
Overall, this is absolutely the most sincere upgrade to the iPad mini in years! Although the starting price is $100 more than the previous generation, the OLED display, stronger performance, and thin, lightweight, water-resistant design make this one-hand-friendly tablet even more appealing. For users who love streaming shows, reading comics, and gaming on the go, this one is truly worth checking out!

: From 399 to 699, that's a huge upgrade, not just a little bit
399到699 升的不是一丁半点
: It went up that much? 涨这么多
: The iPad mini 6 can still hold up for another two years; I just use it to watch videos and scroll through Douyin. mini6还可以奋斗两年;平常就看看视频和刷抖音
: In 2026, 60Hz still feels amazing. 2026年,60hz爽歪歪
: My impression is still stuck on the $499 iPad Mini. 我的印象还停留在$499的iPad Mini
: only Apple can do only Apple can do
: Anything over 450 is out of the question. 高过450不考虑
: The mini version is so well-equipped that I'm worried it'll cannibalize sales of other products
mini 配太好 怕影响其他产品销量
: You're overthinking it. It's totally up to the user to choose the size! I was originally going to buy it, but gave up because it doesn't have a high refresh rate
简直是多虑 这个完全就是尺寸用户选择! 本来要买的就是没有高刷放弃了
: Nearly $800 after tax for a crippled A20 with 60Hz and 128GB; you need over $1,000 to get a fully spec'd 60Hz iPad mini. Impressive, really. 税后近800刀买个残血a20,60hz,128g;1000多刀才能买个满血60hz ipad mini,真厉害
: 60Hz poet, huh. 60hz 诗人啊
: It's too expensive for just 60Hz. 499 would be about right. Why doesn't Apple consider making an iPad mini Pro? They could sell it at Pro prices
太贵了还60Hz 499差不多 apple为什么不考虑出ipad mini pro 可以卖pro价格
: Although it's quite appealing, the price just isn't worth it. For the mini series, aside from the first generation, basically every second generation is a must-buy — the 2, 4, and 6 each brought major updates, and they're compact and portable. By the 8, the updates are actually not bad, but… I'm fine 3q
虽然很吸引人,但是价格太不划算了,mini系除了一代以外,基本上2代一买,246每次都有重大更新,小巧便携。到 8这其实更新不赖但…I'm fine 3q
: Waiting for a discount on the 7th generation. 等一手七代折扣
: The way they've segmented the features feels like deliberate downgrading, so it won't affect the Pro and other product lines. 这刀法 感觉故意阉割 不影响pro和其他产品线
: How much per day? 我日多少钱?
: Where did you even find a 60Hz Super Retina XDR OLED screen? That's insanely difficult—I just can't wrap my head around it... 从哪找的60Hz的Super Retina XDR OLED 屏幕,这难度也太高了,无法理解。。。
: The software lock at 120 dropped to 60. 120的软件锁到60了
: Still 60Hz. 还是60hz
: The previous generation was $499 at full price on the official website, and I got one for $399 during a sale. The new generation's storage price went up by $200, and it still doesn't have a high refresh rate![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)

上一代官网原价是499,打折的时候399买了一台,新一代什么储存涨价涨了200刀,还没高刷![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)

: So expensive! 这么贵!
: Buying the basic card-insert version costs nearly 1000
买个插卡基础版的要接近1000
