New A17 Pro chip, base storage is now 128gb. That's about it. Best to just wait for a sale for around $399 if you don't need it now.

I've seen claims they upped the RAM from 4 to 8GB since that's the min requirement from Apple for AI, but I haven't seen that officially confirmed anywhere

The 128 GB model is slightly cheaper at Walmart for $484, you can deepen the discount further by buying a gift card from raise.

Only change is the CPU, the rest - chassis, cameras, display are identical. I would hold off and see if apple AI is worth running, Otherwise the prior ipad mini functions nearly identically.

The volume buttons are placed in the worst spot. I tried to play Garena Free Fire on the iPad mini 6 and I keep lowering the volume by accident Frown I rotated it the other way and I started pushing the power button and turning it off in the middle of the game Smilie

This "new" iPad mini is easily in the top ten for me of most-anticipated-yet biggest-let-down devices ever. Particularly the choice of leaving the screen exactly the same (no promotion, still 500 nits, no OLED) after all these years, was absolutely a shocker.

I have to disagree with you! Bestbuy is giving me 350 dollars trade in on my ipad mini 6 256gb, i think thats fanatastic considering the unit is 3 years old and will probably need a new battery very soon , which is over 100 bucks to change. This is definitely worth upgrading for the increase in ram , hd and speed for less than 200 dollars after taxes! sorry if you think its a let down, I dont!

Have you used a phone or tablet that has a OLED 120hz brighter (higher than 500 nits) screen?
