Among the interesting features found on the iPhone 16 with iOS 18 is the feature of restoring the device with another iPhone. For me who often changes devices due to work, this feature is very helpful because I can restore data without a computer. Recently, the iPad also received the same feature.
In a 9to5Mac report, they found that the latest iPad Mini 7 with the A17 Pro chip also supports the same feature. You can restore iPad Mini 7 if there is a software glitch by placing this new iPad Mini next to an iPhone or another iPad with iOS 18/iPadOS 18.
This method will make other iPads and iPhones download the appropriate software and files before wirelessly sending them to the iPad Mini. This feature of restoring problematic devices is only supported on iPad Mini 7 and iPhone 16, as older devices do not have the RecoveryOS recovery software that is only included in the system storage. The same concept is also supported on Apple Watch and Apple TV.
