[Tinydeal Technology News]Apple’s innovation in the chip field has always attracted much attention, as evidenced by the successful application of M series chips in Mac products. However, the true strength of Apple’s chips shines through in an unexpected product: the iPad mini 7, which features the iPad mini 7 A17 Pro chip.
Recently, foreign media reported that the market generally expected the new iPad mini to feature the A18 chip. However, Apple surprised everyone by equipping it with the A17 Pro chip, which it had already used in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max last year. This decision demonstrates Apple’s confidence in the chip field and its strong supply chain management capabilities and chip inventory optimization strategy.
The A17 Pro chip uses Apple’s latest process technology, and although the technology has faced some challenges, Apple has successfully overcome these difficulties by quickly moving to improved second-generation process technology. Although the A17 Pro chip equipped on the iPad mini 7 is the stock chip of last year’s iPhone, Apple has optimized and adjusted it to achieve excellent performance on the compact iPad mini.
It is worth mentioning that although this A17 Pro chip has one less GPU core than the flagship iPhone version, this does not affect its performance on the iPad mini. Instead, it still brings a huge upgrade to the iPad mini, allowing it to enjoy Apple’s smart features like other AI-compatible devices.
Foreign media pointed out that from Apple’s perspective, this decision is undoubtedly a very wise. Apple used a chip that had already been produced and rejected for its flagship product in the niche iPad mini. This move saved costs and offered users superior chip performance.
