Tech & Tonic S02 Episode 29 - And The Star of the Apple Event is...

September 20, 2021

Apple's event just happened last week and they launched a couple of new things. They launched the Apple iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, the 9th generation iPad, the 5th generation iPad Mini, and the Apple Watch Series 7.  With the logical flow of the Apple event, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro was meant to be the stars of the show.
The Apple iPad Mini stole the show though. The new Apple iPad Mini packs Apple's latest A15 Bionic processor. You have an 8-inch Super Retina display on the iPad Mini and support for the 2nd generation Apple Pencil. It is also finally sporting the USB Type-C port, following the Apple iPad Air. For the first time as well, the Apple iPad packs a powerful 12-Megapixel front-facing camera with Center Stage feature for video calls.
The Apple iPad Mini is really a smaller and more powerful version of the Apple iPad Air that was launched last year. It is also one of the most powerful regular iPad devices to date. In a sense, it becomes a more appealing device compared to the Apple iPhone 13 devices in the launch. What do you think though?
