Big news in the world of Apple iPads! If you’ve been eyeing that iPad mini or iPad Air, we have updates that will make you want to hold off on hitting that “buy now” button.

Don’t expect the iPad mini 7 to have a 120Hz refresh rate. According to @Tech_Reve, only the A-series processor will get an upgrade this time. No ProMotion just yet.
