How to preorder your iPhone 13, iPad mini 6, iPad 9 or Apple Watch Series 7
Apple's refreshed its phone and tablet offerings with the September 14 unveiling of the new iPhone 13, sixth-generation iPad mini and ninth-generation iPad. The gadgets are shipping soon so read this if you're about to pre-order an iPhone 13 or one of the new iPad models.
The A15 Bionic in the iPad mini 6 is slightly slower than the iPhone 13
One of the best parts of the brand new, redesigned iPad mini is the fact it features an A15 Bionic processor. That's the newest chip from Apple, and it's also what's present in the iPhone 13 lineup, too. However, if you were thinking the speeds would be the same across devices, it turns out that isn't the case.
iPhone 13 lineup has the same amount of RAM as the iPhone 12 series
When any new Android handset is revealed, it usually comes along with news about the amount of RAM tucked inside. Most manufacturers don't keep that information a secret, and usually it's a point of pride. However, that is most certainly not the case for Apple, as the company never typically talks about RAM at all.

Tech specs for the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13
Earlier today, during the company's "California Streaming" event, Apple unveiled the newest members of its iPhone lineup: the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13.

‘iPhone 13’ name leaks out on alleged packaging of the upcoming device
Over the course of many years, one thing that seemed pretty easy to speculate was the name of the next iPhone. Even when Apple was using the "S" brand for its smartphone lineup. Things got a bit interesting when Apple went with "iPhone X" and then "iPhone XS" to then go with "iPhone 11" and opt for "iPhone 12" immediately after that. And apparently a lot of people out there think Apple should go with "iPhone 12S" this year, rather than "iPhone 13."
