Right on cue and as promised, Apple has released the iPad Mini. And it’s a beauty. Apple stated that they have sold over 100 million iPads since its introduction in 2010. The Cuperitino company said they have no intention to take their foot off the pedal.
Here are some of the features of the iPad Mini:
All New Smaller Design iPad Mini
- The iPad mini is 23 percent thinner, 53 percent lighter,* and fits in one hand — yet it can do everything an iPad can do.
- It works with all the apps made for iPad. With that as our guide, we were able to determine the perfect size: 7.9 inches.
- A refined unibody consolidates more parts into one. A single-cell battery — the thinnest ever made by Apple — takes up less space, but lasts just as long.
- The iSight camera is smaller, yet still takes 5-megapixel photos and shoots full 1080p HD video.
Perfectly sized LED-backlit display.
The iPad mini display stands out in all the right ways. It has the same 1024-by-768 resolution as iPad 2 — in a size that’s significantly smaller. So everything looks incredibly crisp and sharp. And since the iPad mini display has 35 percent more screen area than a 7-inch tablet, everything is easier to read and interact with. The iPad mini display is also designed to take greater advantage of every pixel. So apps, magazines, and documents fill the screen, from top to bottom and edge to edge.
- The display is slimmer and lighter, it’s also incredibly vibrant.
- 7.9-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit Multi-Touch
- Display with IPS technology
- 1024-by-768 resolution at 163 pixels per inch (ppi)
- Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating
Avanced Wi-Fi technology and Next-generation cellular connectivity— up to LTE.
- iPad mini features advanced Wi-Fi that’s up to twice as fast as any previous-generation iPad. With dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n Wi-Fi and support for channel bonding, download speeds can reach up to 150 Mbps.
- iPad mini comes in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular. It can make ultrafast cellular network connections around the world — including LTE.
- Other advanced wireless networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA are included.
Just ask Siri.
Siri is the intelligent assistant that helps you get things done, just by asking. Talk to Siri as you would to a person: Ask “Do I need an umbrella?” or “Did the Giants win last night?” or “What time is the barbecue on Sunday?” Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean. It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, Siri provides you with the information you need.
Great Camera
The iSight camera uses advanced optics to give you the best picture possible. With an ƒ/2.4 aperture and a five-element lens, it captures light efficiently to produce a sharper and brighter overall image. And the hybrid infrared filter — typically reserved for expensive SLR cameras — keeps out harmful IR light for more accurate, uniform colors.
With FaceTime built into iPad mini, you can make a video call over Wi-Fi or cellular.2 The front-facing FaceTime HD camera gives everyone a great view of you, while the iSight camera on the back lets you show others what you’re seeing. So even when you’re out and about, your friends and family are never out of the loop. You can hear every laugh and see every smile. And with the 7.9-inch display, you’ve got more than enough screen to take in the whole scene. You can also use the front-facing camera for taking self-portraits or recording 720p HD video.
The iPad mini is available for Pre-order on October 26. Prices starts from $329.00
