    Certainly 8gb
    After checking, A17 pro proc is baked in 8gb. No more, no less. I doubt they'd cook a specific A17 pro for I pad mini 7. They may limit by software, reserving 4 GB for that 'apple intelligence greatness'... I'm software engineer I know how we are creative at sneaking things out...

      shame about the 60hz (and massive bezel) but its still a wonderful "small" tablet. as someone who has caused burn in in quite a few oled displays, i see ips as a positive tbqh

        You can get a brand new iPad Air 2022 with much better display, SOC, battery, speakers etc... at discount around $400.

          MakeMotoBetterAgain, 15 Oct 2024No oled 60hz 8bit 😂To be completely honest, Apple brings (or used to bring) some of the best LCD displays around there. Their OLED panels are not so great since they have terrible PWM.

          Refresh rate, I give you that.

            I assume the lack of news about the ram is bad news? If this device is 4gb ram it will be really bad. If it's 6gb would still be crippled considerably.

That processor is a... moreThe reason iPhone 15 pro and max will support Apple intelligence is not because of cpu power but because of their 8GB ram, and since the mini 7 is promised to support apple intelligence it's safe to assume it's got an 8GB of ram.

                  Honestly sounds really nice

                    Absurd device that will be bought almost exclusively by people with below average IQ.

                        was expected to downsize my daily driver from iPad Pro M1 to this iPad Mini, but sadly still no 120Hz.. no face id and last year chip could be tolerated

                          I wonder if this A17 Pro has the new N3E node, seeing how iPad Mini isn't refreshed that much.

                                    As much as I can say it's a pinnacle point for someone with a Jio 5G in ur8an ind, as this hardware can run fusion 360, keyshot you pretty much name it.

                                      It was expected. We always want more... That processor is a big jump to perf and battery for not so power hungry apps.

                                      I wonder memory though... Was the deciding point for me, if they didn't add a few more GB memory, it's an obvious pass ...

                                        MakeMotoBetterAgain, 15 Oct 2024No oled 60hz 8bit 😂Great. Something for PWM sensitive users to. Everything is amoled....
