iPad mini 8 hands-on: 1g heavier and a third the price of iPhone Air, 60Hz capped
oran_ge · x · 2026-11-09
A two-day hands-on of the iPad mini 8: only 1g heavier and 0.2mm thicker than the iPhone Air at roughly a third of the price; no crease since it doesn't fold. Surprises include the first dust/water resistance on an iPad, a thinner body with better audio — though the display appears software-locked to 60Hz to protect the higher-end foldable.
