As usually happens in these cases, When you don't put all the meat on the grill to launch a product, these things often happen. Apple launched against all odds a few days ago the fifth generation iPad mini or iPad mini (2019), trying to set similar guidelines to those of the iPad (2019) and this new range of products with the most adjusted prices.
However, many users have already realized at the time that the iPad mini (2019) is perhaps "too" like the iPad mini 4. The latest iFixit review of the iPad mini (2019) confirms the rumors that this new iPad shares too many components with its predecessor, is it still worth it?
What is clear is that the Cupertino firm has decided to mount the A12 Bionic and 3 GB of RAM, that less on a device with iOS 12, just launched in 2019 and which by the way costs $449 in its cheapest version (64 GB WiFi). Some details have also appeared that almost no one had such as True Tone sensors to improve screen performance and even new battery connectors, however, this iPad mini (2019) is far from being an iPad Air in small .
Despite some overlap, our review confirms that this is not a downsized version of the iPad Air, but rather an updated iPad mini 4.
To begin with, it has the same panel and the same resolution as iPad mini 4, which leads us to think… why True Tone sensors? Another literally identical aspect is the battery actually uses the same, with identical dimensions and capacity. Another reused item is the 8 MP rear camera of the iPad mini 4. Among these and other details such as not being able to replace only the screen because it disables Touch ID, iFixit has given it a score of 2/10. These are some of the most relevant notes that your analysis leaves us
- New A12 Bionic processor and 3 GB of RAM
- Compatible with the first generation Apple Pencil
- Improvement of the selfie camera up to 7 MP f / 2.2 (previous 1.2 MP)
- Bluetooth 5.0
- WiFi 802.11ac and eSIM
