No idea. It raises a point about the "poor" camera options. A mini would make a very good photography device if it had the a full iPhones Pro camera system as an option. Large nice view finder. Easier to hold than a phone and better possibilities to edit afterwards due to the larger screen. I would be interested in a mini with a iPhone Pro camera system.

The budget iPad also does cinematic video stabilization (1080p), so it is not the new focus features from the iphone. A shame as the larger screen than the iphone max would make sense for content creation.
Yes, was actually looking to upgrade to the 13 for the improved camera for content creation. But after the event I was also thinking that a iPad mini with a Pro Camera lenses and features would make so much ore sense for my usecase. I could then basically ditch the iPhone and just make due with a aWatch with eSim and a iPad mini for my everyday use and content creation - but of course that is just based on how little I personally use phone Compared to an iPad.
Guess it doesn't matter. I just noticed that Cinematic mode only does 1080 30p which is useless for anything serious. Figured it had to be gimped somehow.
"It is a mode that creates an artificially smaller depth-of-field effect for your videos and allows you to rack focus between subjects."
We're Hands-On with the iPhone 13 Pro—Rack Focus Cinematic Mode Is Here
The iPhone 13 Pro makes a hard pitch at cinematic storytellers—should we be excited?

So is the new feature the same as the one on the iPhone 13 series?"It is a mode that creates an artificially smaller depth-of-field effect for your videos and allows you to rack focus between subjects."

No, it appears not. It has video stabilization but not the depth of field effect. I think Apple is playing a bit of semantics game.
They really should enable this cinematic mode on the M1 iPad Pro! There is no reason why this expensive device should not get it via update..
They likely could do it with a s/w update as it really just makes use of Lidar and processing horsepower.
The app focos live does the same thing pretty much... using LIDAR or the FaceID sensor on front camera with pretty decent results
Absolutely they could. The fact we can do it within FaceTime using the Portrait view feature on iOS 15... it can be done.
