New Apple TV 4K and iPad Mini: RAM Amounts Revealed‎

Apple today released Xcode 27.2, and it reveals how much RAM is in the new fourth-generation Apple TV 4K and the new iPad mini with an OLED display. As expected, the new Apple TV 4K with the A19 chip is equipped with 8GB of RAM, while the new iPad mini with the A20 Pro chip has 12GB of RAM. For good measure, Xcode shows the iPhone Duo is equipped with 12GB of RAM. None of these RAM amounts are surprising, but Apple does not list this information in its tech specs for these devices, so they are worth confirming. An industrywide memory chip shortage has led to skyrocketing prices for RAM and storage chips, resulting in Apple raising prices this year across many products, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, HomePods, the Apple TV 4K, and more.Related Roundups: Apple TV, iPad mini, iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: Apple TV (Buy Now), iPad Mini (Buy Now), iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forums: Apple TV and Home Theater, iPad, iPhoneThis article, "New Apple TV 4K and iPad Mini: RAM Amounts Revealed" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Executive Comments on New iPad Mini Lacking 120Hz Display‎

While the new iPad mini has an OLED display, the device does not support ProMotion, meaning the display's refresh rate is limited to 60Hz instead of 120Hz. ProMotion support would have allowed for the iPad mini's refresh rate to automatically adjust from 10Hz to 120Hz depending on the content being displayed, but evidently Apple has kept the feature exclusive to the iPad Pro among iPad models for now. In an interview with YouTuber and podcaster Christopher Lawley, Apple's vice president of hardware design David Pakula commented on the new iPad mini lacking 120Hz support, noting that its OLED display still has significantly faster pixel response times compared to the previous model with an LCD, resulting in reduced motion blur. "Display experience is about more than just a single spec," said Pakula. "One of the things that's really cool about OLED is it actually has this really fast pixel response time. So it's like more than an order of magnitude faster than the pixel response time for an LCD display. And what that does is it makes everything really smooth. Motion blur is significantly reduced compared to LCD. When you pair that with the other things that I mentioned, the contrast, the brightness, and the color, this is just a killer display." Apple says the new iPad mini can achieve a maximum brightness of 600 nits for standard content, up from 500 nits for the previous model, and up to 1,200 nits for HDR content. OLED technology allows for higher contrast and more vivid colors, as there is no backlight and individual pixels turn off completely to display true black. Apple's tech specs indicate the new iPad mini has a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The display still has 326 pixels per inch and P3 wide color support. The new iPad mini is available to pre-order now, with U.S. pricing starting at $699, and the device launches on Friday, November 6.Related Roundup: iPad miniTag: ProMotionBuyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "Apple Executive Comments on New iPad Mini Lacking 120Hz Display" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Here's a Hands-On Look at HomePod Mini 2's New Two-Tone Colors‎

The HomePod mini 2 is launching tomorrow (or in a few hours in Australia and New Zealand) and a new hands-on video from Craig's Tech Talk gives a clear look at the two-tone color design Apple added with some of the color options. For the pink, blue, and green HomePod mini models, the two layers of acoustic fabric are different colors. In pink, the outer layer is a light pink and the inner fabric is more of a coral. For the blue ‌HomePod mini 2‌, the mesh is blue and the fabric underneath is green. The green ‌HomePod mini 2‌ has the green color outside and blue underneath, so it's the opposite of the blue model. You can get a close-up look at the colors at the one-minute mark in the video. The midnight and white ‌HomePod mini 2‌ options also have a bit of a two-tone look, but it is more subtle than the pink, blue, and green models. Apple's original ‌HomePod‌ mini also used a mesh fabric, but it did not have a two-tone color look.Related Roundup: HomePod mini 2Buyer's Guide: HomePod Mini (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "Here's a Hands-On Look at HomePod Mini 2's New Two-Tone Colors" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Avoids Showing Pinched Fingers on iPad Mini Page in South Korea‎

In the U.S. and most other countries, Apple's website shows the new iPad mini being held by pinched fingers, but this is not the case in South Korea. The new iPad mini shown with pinched fingers on Apple's website in the U.S. On its South Korean website, Apple simply shows an image of the iPad mini on its own. The new iPad mini shown without pinched fingers on Apple's website in South Korea Apple also omitted the pinched fingers from its South Korean website for the iPhone Air in 2025, but they remain visible on its U.S. website. In South Korea, a pinched-fingers gesture or emoji has reportedly been interpreted by some as a symbol used to mock the size of men's genitals. Apple has not commented on this matter.Related Roundup: iPad miniBuyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPadThis article, "Apple Avoids Showing Pinched Fingers on iPad Mini Page in South Korea" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Lowers App Store Fees in Taiwan Starting October 31‎

Apple is lowering the commission that it collects in Taiwan to 26 percent, down from 30 percent. Apple plans to drop the rate for in-app purchase and paid app transactions on the iOS and iPadOS Taiwan storefront starting on October 31. The change comes after Apple held discussions with the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission (TFTC). Apple says developers do not need to sign updated terms by October 31 to get the reduced commission rate. Apple previously adopted the 26 percent commission rate in Japan and the European Union. Apple also negotiated a 25 percent commission in China after discussions with China's State Administration for Market Regulation. Apple normally charges a lower rate for Small Business Program members, but the announcement about the Taiwan commission changes doesn't include that information.Tags: App Store, TaiwanThis article, "Apple Lowers App Store Fees in Taiwan Starting October 31" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
