Apple announced its iPad mini (2024) on Tuesday with a simple press release and we now have more details about its specs thanks to a Geekbench listing.

The device appeared as the iPad 16,2 and managed 2,817 single-core and 6,982 multi-core scores which is in line with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max – the only other devices equipped with the Apple A17 Pro chipset. Note that the new iPad features a binned version of the A17 Pro with one less GPU core than the SoC found on the iPhone 15 Pro models.

More importantly, we have confirmation that the 7th gen iPad mini is equipped with 8GB RAM which seems like a system requirement to run Apple Intelligence once it becomes available with iPadOS 18.1.

Apple iPad mini (2024) is priced at $499/€599/£499 for the 128GB W-Fi only model and $649/€769/£649 for the version with cellular connectivity. Pre-orders are already open while shipments are scheduled to begin on October 23.
