California: Technology company Apple has announced the introduction of a new iPad mini that supports artificial intelligence.
The tiny tablet is the first of its kind to support Apple’s new Intelligence feature, which the company is promoting as the future of its devices.
The features introduced by the company include text rewriting tools, an updated version of Siri and other apps like Cleanup.

Apple says it requires advanced processors to run Apple Intelligence, which means only the iPhone 15 Pro and this year’s iPhone 16 lineup have access to it.
This version of the mini iPad will be available from next week, Wednesday, October 23. It is priced at $499.
