New iPad Mini Gains Adaptive True Tone Flash‎

Apple's new iPad mini features an Adaptive True Tone flash, bringing an iPad Pro feature to Apple's smallest tablet for the first time. Unlike the iPad Air, the previous-generation iPad mini already featured a True Tone flash. Apple says the new Adaptive True Tone flash on the ‌iPad mini‌ improves photography and document scanning. It sits alongside a 12-megapixel Wide rear camera with Smart HDR 4 and support for recording 4K video at up to 60 frames per second. The Adaptive True Tone flash debuted on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max in 2022. It features an array of nine LEDs that adjust its lighting pattern and intensity according to the selected focal length, allowing illumination to better match the camera's field of view. The technology subsequently came to the M4 iPad Pro in 2024, where Apple highlighted its ability to improve document scans. When the camera detects a document obscured by a shadow, the ‌iPad Pro‌ captures multiple images using the Adaptive Flash and combines them into a clearer scan. The new ‌iPad mini‌ starts at $699. Pre-orders begin on Wednesday, October 28, with availability starting on Friday, November 6.Related Roundup: iPad miniBuyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Coming Soon)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "New iPad Mini Gains Adaptive True Tone Flash" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Quickly Silence iPhone Duo Without a Ring/Mute Switch‎

The new iPhone Duo drops both the classic Ring/Silent switch as well as the newer Action button, so there is no physical mute control on the device, and no way to assign the Silent Mode control to another button. That said, you can still silence the device pretty quickly – you just do it on-screen instead using a new way to invoke Control Center. With your device unlocked, open Control Center by tapping the circular "status bar" icon, then tap the Silent Mode button (the bell icon). That's all there is to it. A Silent mode indicator appears in the status bar while it's on, but you can hide this by toggling on the switch next to Settings ➝ Sounds & Haptics ➝ Show in Status Bar. How to Add Silent Mode to Control Center Silent Mode is included in the default set of controls at the top of the Control Center, but if you don't see it, you can add it manually by following these steps: Tap the circular status bar icon to open Control Center. Tap the plus (+) icon in the top-left corner, then tap Add a Control at the bottom of the screen. Scroll down to the Sounds section or use the search bar to find it, then select Silent Mode. Keep in mind that Silent Mode mutes calls and alerts, but alarms and media audio still play. For scheduled quiet time, you can always set up a Focus instead.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "Quickly Silence iPhone Duo Without a Ring/Mute Switch" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

OLED iPad Mini Fast Charge Needs a 35W Adapter, Sold Separately‎

Apple's specifications say the device can reach up to a 50% charge in around 30 minutes when used with a USB-C power adapter capable of providing 35W or higher, but they are sold separately ($59) – the iPad mini comes with a 20W USB-C power adapter. The new OLED-equipped iPad mini features an 18.9-watt-hour battery rated for up to 10 hours of web browsing or video. The new iPad mini starts at $699 for the Wi-Fi model, with pre-orders opening Wednesday, October 28, ahead of availability on Friday, November 6.Related Roundup: iPad miniTag: OLEDBuyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Coming Soon)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "OLED iPad Mini Fast Charge Needs a 35W Adapter, Sold Separately" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Brings TechWoven to iPad With All-New $79 iPad Mini Smart Folio‎

Apple today announced a TechWoven Smart Folio for the new iPad mini bringing its woven fabric to an iPad cover for the first time and replacing the previous, long-standing polyurethane design. With no polyurethane alternative announced, the new iPad mini looks set to become the first ‌iPad‌ since the original model in 2010 to launch without an Apple polyurethane cover option. Apple introduced the material with the ‌iPad‌ 2's Smart Cover in 2011, continuing through subsequent ‌iPad‌ Smart Covers and Smart Folios until today. The new accessory comes in Navy Blue and Taupe, complementing the ‌iPad mini‌'s Midnight and Starlight finishes. It costs $79 in the U.S., a $20 increase over the previous-generation Smart Folio. Alongside the material change, Apple has redesigned the cover with a two-panel construction. It attaches magnetically to the ‌iPad mini‌ and offers an adjustable range of viewing angles, which Apple says provides a greater range of motion and new viewing angles, for enhanced versatility. Pre-orders for the new Smart Folio begin on Wednesday, October 28, alongside the ‌iPad mini‌, with availability starting on Friday, November 6.Related Roundup: iPad miniBuyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Coming Soon)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "Apple Brings TechWoven to iPad With All-New $79 iPad Mini Smart Folio" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

All Current iPads Now Feature a Landscape Front Camera‎

With the introduction of the new iPad mini, every model in Apple's current iPad lineup now features a landscape front-facing camera. The transition began with the 10th-generation ‌iPad‌ in 2022, followed by the M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro in 2024. The iPad mini was the last remaining model with its front camera on the portrait edge. Situating the new 12-megapixel Center Stage camera along the landscape edge provides a more natural perspective for video calls when holding the device horizontally.Related Roundup: iPad miniBuyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Coming Soon)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "All Current iPads Now Feature a Landscape Front Camera" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

OLED iPad Mini Starts at $699 After Second Price Hike This Year‎

Apple today announced the first OLED iPad mini, and it carries a pretty hefty price increase compared to just a few years ago. The new model starts at $699, up $100 (or 17%) from the $599 starting price of the previous generation model. It's hard to believe now, but the previous-generation iPad mini kept its $499 price in 2024 even when Apple doubled base storage to 128GB. But then earlier this year, Apple increased the starting price to $599 as part of sweeping price increases across its product line owing to memory and chip shortages. The new model starts with the same 128GB of storage, so the $100 increase since June isn't offset by a capacity bump – but you do get an OLED display instead of LCD. Wi-Fi + Cellular models rise by the same $100, from $749 to $849, and education pricing starts at $649. All that being said, the price hike is less than expectations from earlier this month, when the OLED iPad mini was rumored to cost $200 more than the current model. The higher price accompanies the mini's biggest update in years, featuring that 8.5-inch OLED display, an A20 Pro chip, IP67 water and dust resistance, a new Acoustic Display speaker system, Apple's N1 wireless chip, as well as the C2 modem on cellular models. The color range though has narrowed from four finishes to two: Midnight and Starlight. There's also a new TechWoven Smart Folio that costs $79, up from $59 for the previous Smart Folio. Pre-orders for the new iPad mini open Wednesday, October 28, with availability starting Friday, November 6.Related Roundup: iPad miniTag: OLEDBuyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Coming Soon)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "OLED iPad Mini Starts at $699 After Second Price Hike This Year" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

New iPad Mini Available in Just Two Colors‎

Apple's new iPad mini comes in just Midnight and Starlight, cutting the number of available finishes in half compared with the previous two generations. The outgoing A17 Pro model, introduced in 2024, offered Blue, Purple, Starlight, and Space Gray. The new model drops both Blue and Purple, while Midnight replaces Space Gray as the darker option. Starlight is the only finish carried over. This marks the smallest selection of iPad mini color options since the second generation. The change also marks a departure from the sixth-generation ‌iPad mini‌, which launched in 2021 in Pink, Purple, Starlight, and Space Gray. That redesign introduced more colorful finishes to the lineup, with the 2024 refresh replacing Pink with Blue while retaining four choices. The new TechWoven Smart Folio offers two additional color choices for the cover: Navy Blue and Taupe. Priced at $79, it features a two-panel design with adjustable viewing angles. The new ‌iPad mini‌ starts at $699 for Wi-Fi models and $849 for Wi-Fi and Cellular models.
