In the Geekbench database, the 7th generation iPad mini with A17 Pro, presented the day before, was lit up. The tablet showed lower performance than last year's iPhone, despite the fact that both devices are equipped with the same chipset, Wccftech writes .

In the single-core test, the iPad mini 7 gave 2817 points, and in the multi-core – 6982 points. 15 Pro Max shows around 2932 and 7292 points respectively. That is, the A17 Pro variant in the iPad mini is weaker than the one used in the iPhone 15 Pro by 4%.

In terms of the number of central processor cores (six) and frequencies (3.78 GHz), the processors of both devices do not differ in any way. But as it turns out, Apple has cut the GPU: the processor is equipped with five GPU cores instead of six in the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.

Wccftech suggested that the tablet could have performed a little worse due to an older version of iOS 18. The tested iPad mini 7 had iOS 18 installed, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max – iOS 18.0.1. Previously, experts found that updating from iOS 17 to iOS 18 reduces the frequency of the device's processor to increase autonomy.

According to Apple, the iPad mini 7 is 30% faster than the sixth generation, and twice as fast in tasks related to artificial intelligence and machine learning. The device also supports the Pencil Pro stylus.

By the end of 2024, Apple should also release the first M4-based Mac computers. But, according to Bloomberg information, Mac mini M4 will be the only one of the upcoming devices that will receive noticeable changes in design.

Almost everything is already known about Apple's first presentation in 2025. It will present MacBook Air with an M4 processor, iPad Air and the new affordable iPhone SE, the characteristics of which will please even Android users.
