iPad Mini 7 Will Have Day One Update
Apple is set to release the iPad mini 7 on Wednesday, and new iPad mini owners will have an update waiting right out of the box. Apple is shipping the iPad mini 7 with a version of iPadOS 18.0, which is no longer the latest version of iPadOS.
iPad mini owners will need to install iPadOS 18.0.1, and Apple has a special version of the update ready to go, with a version number of 22A8380. iPadOS 18.0.1 included some important bug fixes and security updates, so it'll be worth updating to right away if you're getting a new iPad mini.
After that day one update, iPad mini owners will need to install a second update next Monday, which is when Apple will release iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1. iPadOS 18.1 is the first version of iPadOS that includes Apple Intelligence features, which the iPad mini 7 will support with its A17 Pro chip.
Apple first announced the iPad mini last Tuesday, and along with an A17 Pro chip, it includes Wi-Fi 6E support, Bluetooth 5.3, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro. The iPad mini 7 is priced starting at $499.
