New iPad mini

I don't understand why the color gamut is only P3. With an OLED display, I assume it's quite easy to push gamut > P3, no?

Anyone use a cell version instead of a phone?

With a 5G radio, this is so much more appealing than the Duo

What's the value proposition compared to the iPhone Duo? Aren't they relatively similar now?

Is iPad mini finally smaller than iPhone maxi?

Or this exciting marketing twist still to come?

Lack of 120hz display on a $700 device is non-negotiable.

Back in the mid 2000s, Palm sold Treo smartphones with the camera removed, for high-security places that forbade cameras. Why do I tell this story? It means there is (was) a market for it. I would LOVE and iPad mini with the camera (and its bump) removed. A nice thin slab.

Whats the closest Android equivalent to this?

I would love Apple to actually make something that is worthy of the name Apple. When Steve was alive, Apple was A-P-P-L-E and now it is just a shell of its self.

Delivering iPad mini but no iPhone mini is double disappointing.

interesting this would come out so close to the iPhone Duo release.

interesting this is so close to the iPhone Duo release.

The second image in the carousel (well, video, really) hides the camera bump. This seems highly disingenuous of Apple.

I don’t know about everyone else but I’m just so sick of Apple releasing marginally improved products, calling it their biggest update ever, and then jacking up prices. $700 for an iPad mini is absurd RAM price increases or not.

749 € starting price WTF ?

I want to upgrade my old Mini 5 with Lightning since I want one with USB-C, and the OS is getting slower and slower, but at these prices?

All I do is read websites and watch Youtube on it anyway, so maybe I'll just get an Android Tablet for 300 €.

This is getting ridiculous!

$699 for 128GB is wild. Between this and HomeView apple has two meh launches in a row now.

this would be nice with an eSim and an agent application so I can control DSH on my M5U at home. would that be possible?

60hz. hard pass

Everything old is new again - return of the phablet.

$700 bucks entry level model in this economy?

As I understand the model with cellular still can't make calls without iPhone?

With Apple ads there is always something uncanny with the hands, like the fingers get unnaturally longer behind the device.

Oh yay, they made a kindle

No Face ID, still Touch ID. Are they serious?

I was considering buying one, but will skip until the older model becomes unsupported or when Apple adds Face ID.

where iPhone mini

do it you cowards

will it run Omarchy?

$1,099 CAD for 256GB. Yeah, no.

The 60Hz display is pretty disappointing. The size is just right, though.

> 60 Hz screen

lol, no, thanks

A bit disappointed it lacks ProMotion adaptive refresh.

Thought China would have flooded the ram market by now

This is a disappointment. Apple has so much potential with iPad minis, but they consistently hold back simply because they don’t want to cannibalize their pro models.

With OLED, this is going to be the best e-book reader in dark mode, and given that it's water resistant you could even use it in bath/hot tub w/o destroying the device - if you're willing to put down $700 for an e-reader that is.
