Apple has released a European energy label for the iPad mini 8 which reveals that the device has a battery capacity of 4,900 mAh, which is slightly lower than the 5,034 mAh battery capacity of the previous model.
Apple’s website lists identical battery life estimates for both models. So it appears that the improved power efficiency of the new iPad mini’s A20 Pro chip is helping to make up for its slightly smaller battery. The new model also features an OLED display, which can be more energy efficient than an LCD when displaying darker content, as there is no backlight and individual pixels turn off completely for the black color.
For those who prefer watt-hour figures, Apple’s tech specs show the new iPad mini has an 18.9 Wh battery, compared to 19.3 Wh for the previous model.
| Model | Battery capacity (mAh) | Battery capacity (Wh) |
|---|---|---|
| iPad mini 8 | 4,900mAh | 18.9 Wh |
| iPad mini 7 | 5,034mAh | 19.3 Wh |
The new iPad mini features an 8.5-inch OLED display, a new Acoustic Display audio system instead of speaker holes, support for Wi-Fi 7, a 15% thinner and lighter design compared to the previous model, and much more. The device is available for pre-order now and launches on Friday, November 6, with US pricing starting at $699.
