Does it support AAA games?

Yes, the A17 Pro chip can run console games like Resident Evil Village and Death Stranding.

Does the old Pencil 2 work?

No. Only the new Apple Pencil Pro and the cheaper USB-C Pencil are supported.

Is the screen finally 120Hz?

No, still 60Hz. This is the biggest disappointment for such a powerful device.

It's a new Wi-Fi standard that uses the 6GHz frequency for less interference and higher speeds (requires a compatible router).

Yes, it's a much better starting point than the old 64GB. It can hold games and movies nicely.

Comparisons With Other Models

How this model differs from the competition.

UpgradevsiPad mini 6 (2021)

Externally identical, but completely new inside. The A17 Pro is the iPhone 15 Pro chip, bringing hardware Ray Tracing to games. Also, 'jelly scrolling' has been improved and the base storage is doubled (128GB).

Cross-shopvsNintendo Switch OLED

The iPad mini 7 is much more powerful (A17 Pro runs Resident Evil), but the Nintendo is cheaper and has better exclusive games. The Mini's screen is larger and sharper.
