The new iPad mini takes Apple’s fan-favourite tiny tablet and upgrades just about everything about it, including giving it a new OLED screen, serious performance, speakers embedded into the display and even water resistance, all with a big new price tag. The eighth-generation iPad mini costs from £699 (€749/$699/A$1,099), which is £200 or equivalent more than the original price of its predecessor as RAMageddon continues to bite. That makes it uncomfortably expensive, costing £270 more than the base model iPad (A16) and only £50 cheaper than the bigger 11in iPad Air M4. The new mini reads like a wishlist from small iPad owners. The tablet is about 1mm thinner, 38g lighter and slightly smaller compared with its predecessor, but still manages to fit in a 0.2in larger screen. The mini is the first iPad to have IP67 water resistance, which means trips to the beach or pool are less fraught with danger. Even the video call camera has been moved to a more sensible position in the landscape…
