Apple announces iPad mini 8 battery capacity via EU energy label

Apple confirms the battery capacity of the iPad mini 8 is 4,900 mAh through the energy label for the European Union market. This number is equivalent to 18.9 Wh, lower than the 5,034 mAh battery (19.3 Wh) on the previous generation iPad mini 7. This difference comes with a new design that is significantly thinner and lighter than its predecessor.

Despite the slight decrease in battery capacity, Apple has kept the battery life estimates the same for both versions. The improved power efficiency of the A20 Pro chip and OLED screen help compensate for this change. OLED technology allows pixels to be completely turned off when displaying black, without needing a backlight like an LCD screen, thereby saving more power when viewing dark content.

iPad mini 8 is equipped with an 8.5-inch OLED screen, supports Wi-Fi 7 and meets IP67 water and dust resistance standards. The device begins accepting pre-orders and will officially hit shelves on Friday, November 6. The starting price in the US market is 699 USD.
