Part 5/9:
One of the standout features of the new iPad Mini is its compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro. However, it's worth noting that the previous Pencil 2 is not supported, which may frustrate users who are already invested in older accessories. The Apple Pencil Pro remains priced similarly to its predecessor but feels bulky compared to the petite iPad Mini.
In terms of Apple Intelligence, the company has integrated a new generative AI tool in iPadOS, and while the Mini is compatible, the lack of testing at this stage leaves some uncertainty regarding its efficacy on the device. The A17 Pro processor raises questions about the long-term viability of this compatibility. Will this iPad Mini enjoy the same software support as other iPad models equipped with M-series chips?
