New iPad Mini seems BEST bet over iPhone Duo if you want sth in-between iPhone and MacBook
- 1/3 of the price $699 vs $1999
- same A20 Pro chip
- bigger display 8.5 vs 7.6
- same weight ~ 255g vs 254g
- almost same thinness 5.4mm vs 5.2mm
- smallest iPad so it’s easy to carry
- iPadOS with all apps working
- unlimited multi windows (only 2 in Duo)
- Apple Pencil support
- no folding screen breakage risk
And best part is its cheap enough to use for a year and gift to someone when better iPhone Duo 2 comes out next year
Looks like this is going to be a week of Apple press releases, starting today with the new OLED iPad Mini
- 8.5" OLED display
- A20 Pro chip
- "Acoustic display" instead of speaker grilles
- IP67 rating
- N1 and C2 chips
- Starting at $699 (+$200 from last gen)
My take: WAY better screen, WAY better chip, so a very welcome refresh. Very curious to try this audio system. but also I can't find any mention of 120Hz or ProMotion on the website, so.... 60Hz?

But I think the other unacceptable thing is that it's still start from 128GB instead of 256GB...

IP67 turns the Mini into a backpack-safe device, which changes where people actually carry it. #iPadMini #Tech

完了，iPad这个产品线越走越远了，真没有值得买甚至买得起的单品了。
我一直觉得mini的尺寸是很合适的，11寸平板很容易放在家吃灰，8寸很方便携带。虽然第七代mini屏幕刷新率只有60hz，但胜在性价比，256G国补后好像CNY 3700拿下。
整个市场最期待的就是第八代iPad mini屏幕刷新率能提高，结果是：屏幕大了一点点，薄了几毫米（有什么用？） +A20 pro chip（A17 pro就性能足够）+ 屏幕换OLED但还是60Hz刷新率。
256G的wifi版本国内官方售价是CNY 6300，一个八英寸的小平板要六千？

everyone’s mad about 60hz but that’s not the biggest issue when it’s at least an OLED screen now
$700 for 128gb are you out of your fucking mind

Idk man.. I wanted to get another iPad mini for my kids and I have a feeling they won't be able to tell the difference with the iPad mini 8 redesign..
Starging to get tempted to buy the older iPad mini 7 either new or refurbished..

I’m sorry but this is DOA
128gb, no ProMotion, no significant tweaking to iPadOS for this size display, and $699 starting price is just not gonna work.

Honnêtement, à quoi il sert l’iPad Mini quand il y a l’iPhone Duo ? Genre vraie question: l’iPhone Duo fait à peu près la même taille, supporte l’Apple Pencil, est 120Hz, a de l’OLED aussi, mais fait 250g et rentre dans la poche…
