iPad mini (A17 Pro)

For those who don’t know. This is an old photo from last year. They stopped advertising the 1st and 2nd Gen Apple Pencil since the iPad mini A17 Pro release on their website. You only get the Pro and the USB-C as the only options today if you buy the latest iPads, but you can still buy the old ones.

Tandem OLED upgrade forecasted for late in 2026, so not far away from desired Mini. Gurman from Bloomberg and others say. More importantly what is RAM on your M4 iPad. I would not buy one that was below 12 GB, that’s the new minimum standard on Apple’s new Pro devices and new MacBook Air iPad …so to

I finally fixed the problem. I had constant problems with my Apple Pencil USB-C losing connection with my iPad Mini 7 despite trying all the suggested fixes. The next time a system update became available I connected my pencil to my iPad and left it connected while installing the update. Apparently
