The iPad Mini sits in a slightly strange place in Apple’s lineup and has survived many a rumor about its cancellation. But Apple is still committed to the miniature iPad formula, with the latest model getting a boost up to the latest A17 Pro processor and Apple's latest AI-powered Apple Intelligence.

But the A17 Pro, ripped from the iPhone 16 Pro, means the iPad Mini might have just become a much more practical field companion for creatives.
