Apple unveils a new iPad mini with an OLED display and A20 Pro chip, available 6 November

Le rapport de contraste est de 2 millions pour 1 et la gamme colorimétrique P3 est prise en charge.

Être in the present is est for a singular subject and sont for a plural one. It describes nature, state or place (“is”, “is located”). If what follows (the attribute) is a noun, adjective or prepositional phrase, it is not a passive. If a past participle follows, it is a passive (est annoncé). Headlines and summaries often use the present to describe the current situation.

Apple a présenté le 26 octobre un nouvel iPad mini avec écran OLED et puce A20 Pro, à partir de 699 dollars aux États-Unis.

The passé composé is the most common past tense, used for “did” and “has done” — actions completed in the past. It is formed with the auxiliary avoir (a / ont…) in the present + a past participle. Past participles of -er verbs end in -é (annoncer → annoncé); learn the irregular ones (faire → fait, prendre → pris, voir → vu). In the negative, ne … pas wraps the auxiliary (n’a pas annoncé). In the news it reports facts that have already happened, such as “announced” or “voted”.

Un écran à nano-texture réduisant les reflets est proposé en option, comme sur l’iPad Pro.

The passive means “is done” or “is being done”. It is formed with être + past participle, which agrees with the subject in gender and number (la mesure est adoptée / les mesures sont adoptées). The agent is introduced by par (or de). In the news it is common when the event, rather than the actor, is the focus (est prévu / est annoncé / est connu).

L’article consulté n’indique ni les capacités de stockage, ni l’appareil photo arrière, ni le nom des coloris, ni le poids, ni l’autonomie, ni les ports ou la biométrie, ni la compatibilité des accessoires, ni les prix et dates hors des États-Unis.

Normally ne and pas wrap the verb. Before a vowel, ne becomes n’. Check which part of the sentence the negation covers. Ne … plus means “no longer”.

Selon TechCrunch, Apple a présenté le lundi 26 octobre un nouvel iPad mini avec un écran OLED Super Retina XDR de 8,5 pouces, plus grand que celui du modèle précédent, et la puce A20 Pro.

Selon means “according to”. Put a person or organisation after it as the source. It separates facts the writer checked directly from what another body or report said. Citing a source does not turn a forecast into an accomplished fact.

L’annonce intervient quelques jours avant l’événement « Pro and Tell » prévu mercredi.

Prévoir means “to plan, to expect”. Être prévu means “to be scheduled” and être envisagé means “to be under consideration”. In the news, read them separately from expressions that describe events that have already happened. They do not say that the event has already taken place.

Le 15 octobre means “on 15 October”. Distinguish the le before a date from the le that marks a weekly habit like a weekday. Du is de + le and au is à + le, so decide the meaning from the verb and period expressions around them. Their role depends on the group: a range of dates, the date of a bulletin or another complement.

Aux États-Unis, il coûte 699 dollars en Wi-Fi et 849 dollars en Wi-Fi + cellulaire, avec précommandes dès le 28 octobre et disponibilité le 6 novembre.

Dès means “as early as” or “as soon as”, and à partir de means “from … onwards”. Depuis basically shows a state or period continuing from a point in time. All deal with a start, but they are not used the same way.

TechCrunchによると、アップルは、26日（月）に、新しい「iPad mini」を発表しました。

As in “LCPによると”, it shows where the information comes from. What that source reported follows. It is used differently from “私にとって”, which gives one’s own opinion.

アップルは、26日、有機EL（OLED）の画面と、A20 Proチップをのせた、新しい「iPad mini」を発表しました。

In “発表しました”, ました makes a verb polite past. The negative is “ませんでした”. Read the actual date together with the date and time in the text.

水曜日に、アップルのイベント「Pro and Tell」が予定されていて、その数日前の発表でした。

The て-form links actions in a series, in order or as a reason. In “確認して、出発する” the relation is judged from the content. In “〜ている” it can show an action in progress or a continuing state.

画面は、8.5インチの有機EL（Super Retina XDR）で、前のモデルより大きくなりました。

A explains noun B that follows. It is not only possession: the relation can be belonging, target, content and more. In “政府の案” and “年金の税控除”, read the relation from the context.

アメリカでの値段は、Wi-Fiモデルが699ドルからです。

は shows what the sentence is about; an explanation of that topic follows. は and が are not always interchangeable: contrast and the way information is placed change.
