If you are still not aware of all the news that the new iPad Mini 4 offers, you are forgiven. Do not worry if you have not been able to find out the details of the new Apple mini tablet, we will tell you about them from iPad News.
Thinner and lighter than the iPad Mini 3.
Weighing just 304 grams, the new iPad Mini is not only lighter than its predecessor, it is also eight percent thinner, measuring just 6,1mm. The iPad Mini 3 had a 7,5mm profile so the difference between the two is 1,4mm thick.
In addition, the screen measures 7,9 inches, offering more screen space than the iPhone 6s Plus and is much more portable than the iPad Air 2, with a 9,7-inch screen.
Laminate screen
Unlike the previous iPad mini, whose screen was built with three distinct and separate components, the new iPad Mini 4 unites those three layers into one. This screen assembly process, known at Apple as internal cellular technology, is also used in iPhone and iPad Air and has a clear advantage: it eliminates the possible spaces that could be created between layers. Therefore, better contrast, more realistic colors and more defined images are obtained that appear to be painted on the screen and not digitized. The sensitivity and precision of the screen have also been improved, especially in the recognition of fast gestures. Finally, a special anti-reflective treatment reduces screen flare by 56 percent.
It doesn't have the power or performance of the iPad Air 2
Despite everything that has been announced and the marketing campaigns that Apple has launched in this regard, the new iPad Mini 4 does not have the same power or the same performance as the iPad Air 2 with which it has been compared since Manzana. In fact the iPad Air 2 uses an improved A8X processor and the iPad Mini 4 uses the A8 processor that the iPhone 6 also uses. So no; power and performance are not similar.
IPad Mini 4 replaces iPad Mini 3
No surprises at this point. Given the minimal performance that the iPad Mini 3 has given and its little contribution to the Apple range, the company has decided that the new iPad Mini 4 will replace the mini 3 on the market and therefore, the unit that receives the discount on its price would be the iPad Mini 2.
Faster wifi
In addition to the powerful built-in A8 microchip, the new iPad Mini 4 includes a much improved wireless connection system. The Wi-Fi connection goes from an 802.11an standard to another three times faster, the 802.11ac, theoretically capable of reaching 866 Mbps.
Lower capacity battery
The iPad Mini 4 battery is significantly less than that of its predecessors, however it reaches the same duration as the rest of Apple devices with a higher battery capacity. The battery of the new model has a capacity of 19.1 WHr and that of its predecessor had a capacity of 23.8 WHr.
Best iSight Trigger
The rear iSight camera of the iPad Mini 4 has gone from 5 to 8 megapixels, a camera much more in line with the technology in which it is mounted. In addition to the jump in megapixels, the camera has a new sensor and benefits from the image signal processor that accompanies the device's A8 microchip. It has an improved ability to recognize faces, with sharper and cleaner images.
Multitasking iOS 9
Despite its small size, Apple defends that the iPad Mini 4 perfectly supports the new multitasking modes of iOS 9.
2 Gb of RAM
The iPad Air 2 was the first Apple device to incorporate 2GB of RAM. Now, the iPad Mini 4 joins it as Apple's devices with the highest RAM, with the exception of the iPad Pro, which has twice as much.
Does not support iPad Mini 3 cases
IPad Mini 3 cases are not compatible with the new iPad Mini 4 due to the change in dimensions of the device.
