Upcoming iPad Mini to Equip Same Superior Processor as the iPhone 17 Pro
Apple's Upcoming iPad Mini to Feature Powerful A19 Pro Chipset
Apple is set to unveil a new iPad Mini model that will feature the Apple A19 Pro chipset, the same processor slated for the iPhone 17 Pro lineup. This marks a significant upgrade from the current A17 Pro chip used in the iPad Mini 7, promising faster processing, enhanced graphics performance, improved AI capabilities, and better power efficiency.
The A19 Pro chip in the iPad Mini is expected to be built on a new 3nm process generation, offering better performance and efficiency than previous chips. It should also have more GPU cores compared to the A17 Pro, possibly matching or exceeding the graphics capabilities of the A18 Pro.
Rumours suggest that the A19 Pro will be accompanied by 12GB RAM, which will aid multitasking and professional workflows. These upgrades could enable pro-level tasks like real-time 4K video editing, 3D modeling, and advanced AI-driven features right on the iPad Mini.
Apple's decision to equip the iPad Mini with the latest high-end silicon from its iPhone Pro series ensures the device remains powerful despite its small form factor. The A19 Pro's inclusion, coupled with an OLED display and other enhancements, might debut as early as 2026 or even later, depending on Apple’s schedule.
It is also reported that Apple is planning to release more than one iPad Mini, with a top-end version potentially powered by the A19 Pro chip and a more affordable option offering the A17 or A18 chip. The iPad Mini with the OLED display could be the high-end version, taking advantage of the A19 Pro's enhanced graphical and processing capabilities.
The new iPad Mini is expected to be announced next spring, but the OLED iPad Mini might not arrive until later in 2026. The information about the A19 Pro chip powering the iPad Mini comes from a code leak, which originated from Apple itself.
The new iPad Mini's specifications, apart from the chip, are not yet known. However, it is speculated that Apple may use both the CPU and GPU cores for AI processing on the new iPad Mini, potentially offering the most powerful Apple Intelligence features.
Moreover, Apple is reportedly planning to have Siri compete with ChatGPT, and a more powerful setup on the new iPad Mini could support this effort. The A19 Pro chip and the A19 chip are part of the upcoming Apple chipset lineup, with the iPhone 17 Pro expected to launch in September.
As always, it's important to note that these are rumours and speculations, and Apple has not officially announced any details about the new iPad Mini. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the anticipated spring announcement.
