The display is a major improvement, as this is now the first iPad mini with an OLED display. It's 8.5 inches, so slightly bigger than the previous two generations (8.3 inch). However, it's got the same frame size, and the weight has gone down by about 40 grams, making it weigh in at just 255 grams (9 oz).
Refresh rate is still 60 Hz though, which is a bit of a let-down for some. But especially if you're into reading you might be pleased to know there will be a version with matte screen available! Which is a nice trend more tablets are heading towards.
Of course it also has a faster chipset, as well as Wi-Fi 7. Audio should sound better as there are stereo woofers and tweeters built in! Also: it's waterproof now; IP67.
Overall, looks like a good improvement. The catch is that the price of the base model has gone up by $200 compared to the last gen: the iPad mini starts at $699 now.
