新湖畔网 （随信APP) | iPad mini最新版体验：性能最出色，还有一个明显可见的更新。
【微信/公众号/视频号/抖音/小红书/快手/bilibili/微博/知乎/今日头条同步报道】
一台能打游戏，能画画，还能用 Apple 智能的 iPad，不一定是 iPad Pro，现在也可以是 iPad mini。
三年之期已到，iPad mini 终于迎来更新。但乍一看，新款和上一代好像没有什么不同：
一样的大小，一样的重量，一样的停航母边框，一样的 LCD 屏幕……
明明攒了三年的量，这款全新的 iPad mini，似乎比年更的 iPhone 还要更无趣一点。
一个「肉眼可见」的更新
慢着，上一代 iPad mini 的屏幕存在着一个「果冻屏」的问题，新款解决了吗？我们可以直接对比一下。
同样的一张长图，新 iPad mini 依旧存在果冻效应，但对比上一代已经有所减少。
如果说 iPad mini（第六代）的屏幕，是你在设置滑动找个开关都能观测到有摇摇晃晃的「果冻感」，那么全新的 iPad mini（A17 Pro）就是只要不注意去看，就不会察觉到的轻微形变。
放慢来看，我们可以发现新款的屏幕刷新延迟要更低，从而减弱了果冻效应。
虽然「果冻感」弱了，但我手上这台 iPad mini（A17 Pro）的显示体验也不算太好，快速滚动时会感觉到一丝不够流畅的感觉。
相比较下，iPad mini（第六代）虽然是果冻屏，但要顺滑很多。
不过，这个屏幕最大的遗憾是万年不变的 60 赫兹刷新率，直接劝退了身边不少动过心思的小伙伴。
性能提升，能带来什么体验？
有一句俗话：一寸长，一寸强，而 iPad mini 虽然是尺寸最小的 iPad，但体验和性能并没有太多妥协。
全新 iPad mini 配备了去年旗舰手机 iPhone 15 Pro 的同款芯片 A17 Pro，不过 GPU 锁了一个核心。
这会不会对游戏性能有所影响？启动「跑分软件」《原神》感受一下。
性能狗测试情况如下：不管是高画质 60 帧，还是极致画质 30 帧，室温 24 度跑原神 30 分钟机身都只是温温热，平均帧率都能稳定在 59 帧和 32.4 帧，除了过场，基本上不会出现帧率大幅波动的情况。
可以说，这颗刚过一岁生日的 A17 Pro 还是很能打的，新款 iPad mini 对于手游来说已经绰绰有余，配上合适的尺寸，依然是游戏党一个不错的选择。
至于发热情况，主要分布在机身背面左下方的位置，只要保持摄像头朝上的横向握持姿势，就不会有太多暖手的感觉。
性能拉满之余，A17 Pro 也首次为 iPad mini 带来了 Apple 智能的支持，当然目前大陆地区依旧无缘。
不过这个更新也意味着新款 iPad mini 升级了运行内存，从上一代的 4GB 翻倍来到 8GB。
我们给新旧两款 iPad mini 准备了同一个挑战：三款大型主流手游《原神》《王者荣耀》《和平精英》，一款 iPad 人气笔记应用 Notability，视频平台哔哩哔哩，以及「后台杀手」相机拍照。
iPad mini（第六代）虽然宝刀未老，以上这些应用都能很快速流畅打开，但 4GB 运存确实捉襟见肘，依次开完上述应用回到《原神》，已经是游戏初始化页面。
8GB 运存的 iPad mini（A17 Pro）不负众望，所有应用后台都正常留存，再也不怕出去回消息回来游戏又要重载。
生产力这方面也有 Pro 级体验
除了处理器很「Pro」，新款 iPad mini 还支持上了今年苹果全新推出的 Apple Pencil Pro，可以实现轻捏、侧旋等交互，也支持笔刷「投影」。
除了 Apple Pencil Pro，新款 iPad mini 还兼容 Type-C 的 Apple Pencil，但苹果依然刀法精准，取消了上一代还支持的二代 Pencil。
个人认为，iPadOS 18 的史诗级更新「计算器」，最适合的载体就是 iPad mini，因为它的尺寸只比一个常规计算器大一点。
在进行演算的时候，iPad mini 非常适合作为一个「手边」的工具，搭配上 Apple Pencil 和「数学笔记」功能，就能获得一个智能「草稿本」，写算式得结果，简直是考研党福音。
新款 iPad mini 还有一个不易察觉的更新：USB 3.0 接口的传输速率，从 5Gbps 升级到 10Gbps，这可是今年 iPhone 16 标准版都无法享受的待遇。
具体快多少？同样是一部 19 GB 大小的电影，第六代 iPad mini 传了 55 秒，而新款只用了 27 秒左右就完成了。
一个坏消息和好消息
还有两个在国内比较值得一提的好消息和坏消息。
先说没那么好的消息：蜂窝版的新 iPad mini，和今年更新的 iPad Pro 和 iPad Air 保持一致，砍掉了 SIM 卡卡槽，蜂窧数据要搭配 eSIM 使用，在国内没有那么方便。
第二个好消息是，新款的 iPad mini 包装盒仍然附带电源，而这在一些海外的版本中已经取消。
定价和配置方面，新款的 iPad mini 加量不加价，存储起步 128GB，价格保持 3999 元，256GB 版本还比上一代便宜 200 元，新增了一个 512GB 的版本。
iPad mini 为谁而来
今年苹果一共更新了三款平板：iPad Pro、iPad Air、iPad
英文版:
A gaming, drawing, and Apple smart iPad, doesn't have to be an iPad Pro, can now also be an iPad mini.
After three years, the iPad mini finally gets an update. But at first glance, the new model doesn't seem to have much of a difference from the previous generation:
Same size, same weight, same chunky bezels, same LCD screen...
Despite accumulating three years worth of updates, this brand new iPad mini seems to be even less interesting than the year-old iPhone.
A "visibly" updated feature
Hold on, the previous generation iPad mini had a "jelly screen" issue, is it solved in the new model? Let's compare them directly.
For the same long image, the new iPad mini still has the jelly effect, but compared to the previous generation, it has been reduced somewhat.
If the screen of the iPad mini (6th generation) makes you feel a shaky jelly effect when you slide to adjust a setting, then the new iPad mini (A17 Pro) is barely noticeable with slight distortion unless you pay close attention.
Upon closer examination, we can see that the new model has a lower screen refresh rate, thereby reducing the jelly effect.
Although the "jelly effect" has weakened, the display experience on my iPad mini (A17 Pro) is not that good, as I can feel a slight lack of smoothness when scrolling quickly.
Compared to the iPad mini (6th generation), even with a jelly screen, it is much smoother.
However, the biggest disappointment with this screen is the unchanged 60Hz refresh rate, which has discouraged many potential buyers.
Performance improvement, what can it bring in terms of experience?
There is a saying: "An inch longer, an inch stronger," and although the iPad mini is the smallest iPad, it hasn't compromised much in terms of experience and performance.
The new iPad mini is equipped with the same A17 Pro chip as last year's flagship iPhone 15 Pro, but one of the GPU cores is locked.
Will this affect gaming performance? Let's test it with the benchmarking app "Genshin Impact."
The performance test results: whether it's high-quality 60fps or ultra-quality 30fps, after running Genshin Impact for 30 minutes at a room temperature of 24 degrees, the device remains only slightly warm, and the average frame rates can stay stable at 59fps and 32.4fps. Apart from cutscenes, there is hardly any significant fluctuation in the frame rates.
In summary, this one-year-old A17 Pro chip is still very capable, and the new iPad mini is more than adequate for mobile gaming. With the right size, it remains a good choice for gaming enthusiasts.
As for heating issues, it mainly occurs in the lower left corner of the back of the device. As long as you hold it horizontally with the camera facing up, you won't feel much warmth in your hands.
Aside from maxing out performance, the A17 Pro also brings Apple smart support to the iPad mini for the first time, although it's still not available in mainland China.
However, this update also means that the new iPad mini has upgraded its RAM, doubling from 4GB in the previous model to 8GB.
We tested the new and old iPad mini models with the same challenge: three popular mobile games like "Genshin Impact," "Honor of Kings," "Peace Elite," an iPad note-taking app Notability, the video platform Bilibili, and the battery-intensive camera app.
Although the iPad mini (6th generation) is still capable, all these apps can be opened quickly and smoothly. However, with 4GB of RAM, it struggles a bit when switching between apps and may have to reload games.
With 8GB of RAM, the iPad mini (A17 Pro) lives up to expectations, keeping all apps running in the background, so no more worrying about reloading games after replying to messages.
Pro-level experience in productivity
In addition to the "Pro" processor, the new iPad mini also supports Apple Pencil Pro, which allows for various interactive gestures and supports brush projection.
In addition to the Apple Pencil Pro, the new iPad mini also supports the Type-C Apple Pencil, but Apple has made a precise move by discontinuing support for the previous generation's second-generation Pencil.
In my opinion, the epic update of iPadOS 18, the calculator app, is best experienced on the iPad mini because its size is just slightly larger than a regular calculator.
When doing calculations, the iPad mini makes for a great "handy" tool, especially when paired with the Apple Pencil and the "Math Notes" feature, creating a smart "scratchpad" where you can write equations and get results, making it a boon for those studying for exams.
The new iPad mini also has an inconspicuous update: the USB 3.0 interface transfer rate has been doubled from 5Gbps to 10Gbps, a feature that even the standard version of the iPhone 16 this year cannot enjoy.
How much faster is it? With a 19GB movie file, the 6th generation iPad mini took 55 seconds to transfer while the new model took only around 27 seconds to complete the transfer.
One bad news and good news
There are two noteworthy good news and bad news in China.
Let's start with the not-so-good news: The cellular version of the new iPad mini, like the updated iPad Pro and iPad Air this year, removes the SIM card slot and requires the use of eSIM for cellular data, which is not very convenient in China.
The second good news is that the new iPad mini still comes with a charger in the box, while some overseas versions have already removed this accessory.
In terms of pricing and configurations, the new iPad mini adds storage without increasing the price, starting at 128GB and maintaining a price of 3999 yuan. The 256GB version is 200 yuan cheaper than the previous generation, and a new 512GB version has been added.
iPad mini for whom
Apple has updated three tablets this year: iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini, in addition to the standard iPad. How do you choose the most suitable one from these four models?
iPad mini has a distinctive feature: it's small, just a bit larger than a basic Kindle, making it easy to handle with one hand and fit into a slightly larger pocket, something other iPad models can't do.
Such a portable experience would make you more willing to take out the iPad mini for various scenarios: reading a book or watching short videos on your commute, gaming while lounging on the couch, or even using it as a makeshift coaster for your noodles.
Even in more professional settings, the iPad mini can shine: as a script supervisor's board on a film set, for quick material management and editing; for pilots to check flight data, for doctors on their rounds; for designers and artists as a handy drawing board; or for students as a smart calculator and notebook.
