iPad mini update is pretty damn decent. I wasn’t too clued up on rumours other than it was likely going to be an OLED screen, which is confirmed to be true but to have an A20 Pro chip inside it is pretty class.

Makes the Apple TV just shocking as an update. I think it’s a £100 price bump but the spec upgrade considering the whole nonsense with chips ram storage etc makes it tempting vs even the iPhone 18 pro update (considering how good the 17 pro was)

Having just mentioned the price bump not being bad, looking into the tech news it seems it’s the 2nd price hike of the year… oh dear. Still overall a positive from me but maybe not as much as I initially thought.

Looking at macrumours forum, a post shows a breakdown of the price increases since its first launch and it’s pretty staggering. $329 in 2012 to $699

A table listing the different models of the iPad mini along with their release years and launch prices in USD, EUR, and GBP. Table reads as follows:

* First-generation iPad mini, released in 2012: $329 US dollars, €329, £249.
* Second-generation iPad mini, released in 2013: $399 US dollars, €389, £319.
* Third-generation iPad mini, released in 2014: $399 US dollars, €389, £319.
* Fourth-generation iPad mini, released in 2015: $399 US dollars, €389, £319.
* Fifth-generation iPad mini, released i
