The iPad mini would also deserve an update, but Apple is holding off

There was not a single word about the new iPad mini on Tuesday’s press release, all attention was paid only to the two larger iPads. You can recall the entire festive event in the Novinek online report, where you will also find a video recording of the entire press release.

Apple’s lack of interest in updating the iPad mini is quite surprising, since the last model was introduced in September 2021, which is almost prehistoric times in the IT world. This model definitely deserves higher performance and a better display.

In addition, the American technology giant certainly cannot complain about lack of interest. Immediately after the premiere, there was so much interest in the new product that it sold out almost immediately.

Even after Christmas, availability continued to lag, as the small apple tablet was still sold out in January 2022, and Apple claimed in its official store at the time that it would process January orders only in the second half of February at the earliest.

Although the iPad mini will celebrate its third birthday this year, Apple has definitely not cheapened it – on the contrary, the small apple tablet has increased in price against the premiere. In 2021, an iPad mini with 64GB of memory and a WiFi connection cost 14,490 CZK, but currently potential buyers will pay 15,490 CZK for it.

The most equipped 256GB version with 5G connection then cost 22,490 CZK, but currently costs 24,490 CZK.

The small iPad attracts a new design, the larger one is faithful to tradition

The iPad mini got a similar design to iPhones. It therefore boasts a more angular design with straight sides. Thanks to the design change, it was possible to squeeze a larger display into the same large body as the predecessor. It had a 7.9″ display, so far the latest model introduced is tempting with an 8.3″ diagonal.

The attraction should also be the USB-C connector, which is, after all, more universal than the Apple Lightning interface. Thanks to this, a wide variety of accessories can be easily connected. We can find a 12 MPx camera at the back and at the front, while the front one has an ultra-wide-angle shot (122°).
