The new iPad mini takes Apple’s fan-favourite(粉丝最爱) tiny tablet and upgrades just about everything(几乎一切) about it, including giving it a new OLED screen, serious performance, speakers embedded(嵌入的) into the display and even water resistance, all with a big new price tag(伴随高昂的新价格).
新款 iPad mini 对苹果这款深受粉丝喜爱的小尺寸平板进行了几乎全方位的升级：换上了新的 OLED 屏幕，性能强劲，扬声器嵌入屏幕之中，甚至首次支持防水——但这一切都伴随着大幅上涨的价格。
The eighth-generation iPad mini costs from £699 (€749/$699/A$1,099), which is £200 or equivalent more than the original price of its predecessor(前代产品) as RAMageddon(内存末日：内存芯片短缺导致涨价) continues to bite(持续产生负面影响). That makes it uncomfortably expensive, costing £270 more than the base model iPad (A16) and only £50 cheaper than the bigger 11in iPad Air M4.(这使得它贵得令人不安：比基础款 iPad 贵 270 英镑，只比更大的 11 英寸 iPad Air M4 便宜 50 英镑。)
第八代 iPad mini 起售价为 699 英镑（749 欧元/699 美元/1099 澳元），比上一代的原价贵了 200 英镑（或等值货币），因为“内存末日”的影响仍在持续。这让它贵得令人不安：比基础款 iPad（A16）贵 270 英镑，而只比尺寸更大的 11 英寸 iPad Air M4 便宜 50 英镑。
The new mini reads like a wishlist(读起来像愿望清单) from small iPad owners. The tablet is about 1mm thinner, 38g lighter and slightly smaller compared with its predecessor, but still manages to fit in a 0.2in larger screen. The mini is the first iPad to have IP67 water resistance, which means trips to the beach or pool are less fraught(充满（危险）的) with danger. Even the video call camera has been moved to a more sensible position in the landscape(横屏模式) edge of the tablet. It lacks Face ID, though, making it reliant on the Touch ID fingerprint scanner in the power button.(不过它没有 Face ID，只能依赖电源键上的 Touch ID 指纹识别。)
新款 mini 读起来就像小尺寸 iPad 用户的愿望清单。相比前代，这款平板薄了约 1 毫米、轻了 38 克、尺寸略小，却仍塞进了大了 0.2 英寸的屏幕。mini 是首款具备 IP67 防水能力的 iPad，这意味着去海滩或泳池时不必再提心吊胆。连视频通话摄像头也移到了平板横屏边缘更合理的位置。不过它没有 Face ID，只能依赖电源键上的 Touch ID 指纹识别。
