- In addition to faster processing, iPad mini (2024) has Wi-Fi 6E support, Bluetooth 5.3, and a faster USB-C port that supports USB 3 transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.

- The smaller-size iPad mini (2024), with an 8.3-inch screen compared to the 10.9-inch iPad (2022), weighs almost half of the iPad's weight, making it easier to handle and use.
- While the iPad mini has improvements in every other department, both tablets support up to 500 nits of brightness and run on iPadOS 18.

How to use wired AirDrop on iPhone, iPad, and Mac
- Wired transfer via AirDrop is one of the new features added to the service that allows file transfer between your Apple devices.
- To use wired AirDrop, you need an iPhone, iPad, and Mac running the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on both devices must be enabled as well.
- In theory, while using wired AirDrop, a 'Using Wired Connection' notification should appear on your screen.
- Disconnecting the wire in the middle of a transfer may cause AirDrop to fail, with no guarantee of resuming where it previously left off.
- Faster USB transfer speeds are available to those using iPhone Pro 15, iPhone Pro 15 Max, iPhone Pro 16, iPhone Pro 16 Max, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th gen and newer), and more.
- To tell if AirDrop is using Wi-Fi or a wired connection, look for the “Using Wired Connection” indicator.
- To avoid potential failed transfers or interrupted processes, it's best to keep your devices unlocked and awake during the transfer process.
- When initiating a wired AirDrop connection, select the Apple devices connected via a cable, and the transfer should start shortly.
- If you do choose to disconnect the cable, it is best to expect failed or interrupted transfers.
- In conclusion, this new feature is an excellent tool for those who frequently transfer large files between Apple devices
