IP code

It is thinner.

IP67 water and dust.

More portable.

That is the huge one.

I think there's a reason why this is coming out on a non-pro device first, but it is a new technology and something that should be quite interesting.

Yeah.

And also the IP67 water and dust resistance is huge.

That's something we did not have before.

Dust and water resistance a bit lower.

IP67 instead of 68.

Slackers.

I

And it supposedly sounds very well.

But part of the reason they did this is also as well is this is the first iPad to be IP67 rated.

Yeah, which that's a pretty big deal too.

That's nice

The fact that they went to an OLED screen The fact that they went to this under-display battery, I mean, not battery, but speaker.

The

fact that it's IP67 rated, I guess that does also play into the increase in cost.

So the iPad Mini kind of went from being like a companion to the regular iPad to eventually becoming a little bit more premium, more powerful device.

In addition, custom tweeters are now hidden between the glass and aluminum enclosure for clear highs.

The acoustic display also features a sealed enclosure that helps iPad Mini achieve its IP67 rating.

So the idea is they vibrate the screen.

The screen is your speaker.

And especially if they put like more drivers into it and again, sealing it up.

So there's like fewer places for stuff to go in.

I didn't look up what IP67 is.

I think the six is the dust and the seven is like splash resistance or something, but not dunking.

And the weight is down to 255 grams from 297 of the previous model.

Then also, the design is now IP67 rated for water and dust resistance, which makes it Apple's first water-resistant, dust-resistant iPad.

And because they've shrunk the bezels a little bit, the screen is now 8.5".

rather than 8.3 on the previous iPad mini.

And in addition, custom tweeters are now hidden behind the glass and aluminum enclosure for clearer highs.

Yeah, so they don't have the speaker grills on it.

which Apple says is the sealed enclosure is what helps the iPad mini achieve that IP67

water and dust rating.

Ci sono sette colori tra cui scegliere e i prezzi partono da 1829 euro.

Infine citiamo anche i nuovi iPad Mini con display OLED da 8,5 pollici che all'interno montano i nuovi chip A20 Pro, che è lo stesso chip usato da iPhone 18 Pro, e soprattutto hanno la certificazione IP67 per la prima volta nella storia degli iPad Mini.

Il prezzo parte da 759 euro per la versione solo Wi-Fi e sono ben 150 euro in più rispetto al modello precedente.

Quindi anche in questo caso prezzi alti, ma ce lo aspettavamo facilmente e tutti sono già in preordine da ieri sera 28 ottobre.

Environmental Protection.

You may wonder why we didn't mention Ingress Protection, or IP ratings, which address water and dust intrusion.

IP deals with environmental protection and weatherproofing, which is a related but distinct aspect of equipment durability.

These protections focus on preventing environmental elements such as dust or water from entering the device enclosure, rather than protecting the device from mechanical abuse or intentional damage.
