On September 15, 2021, at the same time as the announcement of the “iPhone 13”, the new “iPad mini (6th generation)” was also announced. Not to mention the more sophisticated design and larger screen than the previous iPad mini, even iPhone users who were considering purchasing the iPhone 13 are confused as to “If so, isn’t the iPad mini good?” It is as good as it is.

The 6th generation iPad mini processor is equipped with the same A15 Bionic as the iPhone 13 series. Moreover, it is a 5-core graphics version equivalent to the Pro model. At this point, it’s well ahead of the non-Pro iPhone 13. By the way, the iPhone 13 Pro starts at 122,800 yen, but the iPad mini starts at 59,800 yen. It’s almost half the price.

Currently, USB-C is the mainstream for charging and data transmission cables to mobile terminals other than Apple products and other mobile home appliances. Of course, Android smartphones too. However, now that the iPad mini is compatible with USB-C, it will be possible for those who have mobile terminals other than the main smartphone and Apple products to say, “All can be charged and data can be transmitted with one.”

However, the only Apple product that supports this USB-C is the new iPad mini (as of September 16, 2021). Apple hasn’t decided on the cable either. In other words, in the future, will the cable be USB-C for all iPhones and MUJI iPads?
