The new iPad mini, released in October 2024, delivers meaningful upgrades that will resonate with enterprise customers, especially in industries like healthcare, retail, restaurants, and field services where portability and performance are key.
30% Performance Boost with A17 Pro Chip
At the heart of the update is the A17 Pro chip, offering a 30% performance boost. This means faster app processing for healthcare professionals using diagnostic apps, or restaurant staff managing orders and customer engagement systems. The iPad mini’s small size makes it ideal for mobile use, but the real benefit is the increased power, making it much more than just a portable device.
Storage Doubled to 128GB
Storage has doubled to 128GB, making it easier to handle large files, whether it’s patient records in healthcare, inventory management in retail, or complex reports in field services. This allows users to work without constantly offloading data to the cloud, saving time and bandwidth.
Faster and More Secure Connections
The new WiFi 6E support lets the iPad mini tap into the 6GHz band, ensuring faster and more stable connections, particularly in environments where network congestion is an issue, like hospitals or busy retail spaces. Along with this, USB-C now supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 for speeds up to 10Gbps, cutting down the time it takes to move large files between devices.
No More Physical SIM Cards
For mobile professionals, the switch to eSIM eliminates the need for physical SIM cards, allowing for more flexible mobile connectivity on the go. And Bluetooth 5.3 ensures smoother, low-power connections to peripherals like Bluetooth scanners, diagnostic equipment, or point-of-sale systems.
These upgrades make the iPad mini a powerful tool for enterprises that need reliable, high-performance devices in compact form factors, perfectly suited for demanding environments.
