Apple has released its latest tablet, the iPad mini, and it has taken the market by storm with its compact design and powerful performance. The new iPad mini boasts the latest design codes from the company, making it one of the most stylish and portable devices on the market. The device is compact, almost weightless, and even lighter than the iPhone 12 Pro Max, despite being 70g heavier.
Display
The iPad mini has an 8.3-inch display, which is larger than its previous generations, and has a resolution of 2266 × 1488 pixels with 326 PPI. The IPS matrix display boasts a brightness of up to 500 cd/m² and supports True Tone and P3 color gamut. The display also supports the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, making it a great device for artists, designers, photographers, and students.
The display is almost frameless, which led to the fingerprint scanner being moved to the power button located at the top end of the device. The volume rocker has also been moved to the top end, replacing its previous position on the right side.
Performance
The iPad mini is powered by the new 6-core Apple A15 Bionic chip with 5-core graphics and a 16-core Neural Engine, which is the same processor used in the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. The device is fast and responsive, making it a great device for multitasking. The iPad mini comes in two versions, Wi-Fi only (6th version) and Wi-Fi + 5G with eSIM support.
Battery Life
Apple claims that the iPad mini has a battery life of 9 hours over cellular networks and 10 hours over Wi-Fi, which is standard for its tablets.
Camera
The new iPad mini has a 12-megapixel main camera with a flash and a wide-angle module with an aperture of ƒ/1.8. The front camera features the new Spotlight feature, which allows for more information to be conveyed during video calls. The camera automatically focuses on the face, and if the user moves away from the device, the camera follows them. If multiple people enter the frame, the camera takes a wider angle to show everyone.
The iPad mini also does a great job of scanning documents and can also be used as a backup camera if a smartphone is not available.
Final thoughts
The new iPad mini is a great travel tablet that can do everything its bigger brothers in the Pro series can do. The only difference is its smaller and simpler display. The device is compact, fast, and responsive, making it a great device for multitasking and on-the-go use. You can purchase this amazing device on the Three website.
