The new iPad 2021 model was already the first device of the Apple to be shown in the keynote, with Tim Cook introducing the subject and letting all the news of the apple tablet roll. The most emphasized novelty is, of course, the processor A13 Bionic, which delivers 20% better performance over the previous generation, and includes a neural engine (Neural Engine, in the original) that improves the machine learning capabilities of the device, leaving the artificial intelligence of the new iPad much smarter. This makes things like the Live text, even in iPadOS 15, which allows the recognition and translation of texts based on photographs.

Another interesting feature coming to the iPad is Center Stage, previously present only in the iPad Pro, which follows you while you are on a video call, via strategic camera zoom aided by the neural engine. This even works when other people the call, adapting to the new presence. All this with the device's new 12MP Ultra Wide camera. As for the screen, the novelty is due to the true Tone, which can perceive the color of the environment and adapt the display Retina of 12,2″ to make images more natural, whatever the level of brightness in the place where you are.

On the new iPad mini there are widescreen stereo speakers, similar to what we find on the Pro models.

In addition, the new iPad comes with twice the storage space compared to the previous generation, that is, 64GB, and also a version with 256GB for those who are still finding it little. All this while still maintaining the thin and light design, and with 100% recycled aluminum and frame magnet materials. It is worth ing that there will also be a version with chip , to use the device as a cell phone, subject to the same conditions and data plans as smartphones to ensure operation, as always.

Finally, the operating system of the soon to come device will be, as already mentioned, the iPadOS 15, designed specifically for this type of device. That OS promises improvements in functions such as Split View (split screen), Slide Over (the open apps management function), more layouts for the Widgets from the desktop, system-wide notes via QuickNote, new translation app functions (such as automatic translation), automatic notification filters based on device usage, spatial audio for the FaceTime, new options for group calling and much more.

The design of the new iPad mini guarantees 100% screen usage, as the touch ID on top of the device is back, allowing for unlocking and functions like Apple Pay more easily and away from the screen.

Another novelty are the landscape speakers, which, together with the improved display, promise a good experience for those who want to watch their series and movies on the device.

Apple hits the spot of the iPad mini's increased portability in the 2021 model announcement.

The processor A15 Bionic it's a huge leap in performance, as we've already mentioned, but let's go into more detail? The technology in question has a 6-core U, with 40% better performance than the previous model, and the 6-core GPU brings 80% better performance. The hardware's machine learning is powered by a 16-core neural engine, making tasks involving this technology twice as fast. O iPadOS 15 is also present, and brings the same news that we mentioned in the previous session about the iPad 10.2.

Long-awaited feature has arrived on iPad mini: USB-C compatible with various accessories

The rear camera of the iPad mini comes with a 12MP sensor, with flash true Tone e Smart HDR (which benefit from the image processor of the A15 Bionic, which improve image quality by using light and shadow more efficiently. As in the previous model of more tablets, the function of Center Stage is also included. THE Apple also showed the new Smart Folio, a slim, lightweight device case that matches the device color varieties that are available for purchase. Like the iPad 10.2, the mini version also has 100% recycled material in aluminum and in the composition of the magnets present in the structure.
