New iPad Mini Compatible With Final Cut Pro, But Lacks Stage Manager

Apple's professional video editing app, Final Cut Pro, is now compatible with the new seventh-generation iPad mini, in addition to iPad Pro and iPad Air models with the M1 chip and newer. The app's compatibility was confirmed through an update to its App Store listing, which also indicates support for the A17 Pro chip in the new iPad mini. However, some Final Cut Pro features may not be compatible with the new iPad mini due to hardware or software limitations. Apple's audio editing app, Logic Pro, is also compatible with the new iPad mini, requiring only an A12 Bionic chip or newer. The new iPad mini is not compatible with the Stage Manager feature, likely due to its smaller 8.3-inch display size. Stage Manager allows users to resize apps into overlapping windows for improved multitasking on supported iPads. The feature also supports an external display with up to 6K resolution, enabling users to work with multiple apps simultaneously. The new iPad mini is set to launch this Wednesday. The device's compatibility with various apps and features is an important consideration for potential buyers. The iPad mini Buyer's Guide is available for those looking to purchase the device.
