It's certainly a much bigger update than the update between the i. Pad mini 2 and i. Pad mini 3 was (Apple simply added the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and a gold colour option but left the design and specs the same), with a new, thinner design and loads of internal improvements. First, let's take a look at design and build. It's a really, really good- looking tablet, still available in Gold, Silver and Space Grey but with a thinner chassis and some new Smart Cover colour options that look fantastic (and you'll need to get a new Smart Cover even if you've already got one for your older i.
Pad mini, because the magnets seem to have been repositioned). Pair that with one of Apple's new Silicone Cases for the i. Pad mini 4 for all- round protection. We've gone for a Gold model with a Midnight Blue Smart Cover and we think it looks gorgeous, with its premium aluminium finish and smooth rounded edges, plus its now super- slim 6.
That's 1. 8% thinner than its already thin predecessor. It is also lighter, at just 2. Pad into a small bag or even a large pocket and you'll hardly notice it's there. So all together, those measurements are 2. That's compared with the i. Pad Air 2's 2. 40 x 1. Air 2's 9. 7in. Aside from that, there's nothing particularly noticeably different in terms of design between the i.
Pad mini 4 and its predecessors. It has lost its mute/lock rotation slider, just like the i.
Pad Air 2 did, but you can quickly and easily access those settings within the Control Centre panel by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Pad mini 4 review: Hardware and performance.
Taking a closer look at that 7. Pad mini 4, you'll find that it's the same resolution as the i. Pad mini 3 and 2, as well as the i. Pad Air 2 and i. Pad Air, at 2. That equates to a 3. Air and Air 2's 2.
That's not to say that the i. Pad mini 4 hasn't had some screen improvements, though. The resolution may be the same, but there's a new anti- reflective coating to help with use outside in the sun, and better still Apple has removed the gap between the cover glass and LCD (all part of the slimming process) to make the tablet feel more solid and dramatically improve the contrast. The result is a crisp, clear screen that offers stunning colours that is ideal for watching videos or playing games. Of course, the bigger screen on the i. Pad Air 2 is even better for videos, and while both tablets support the new Split Screen feature in i.
OS 9, there's no doubt that running two apps side- by- side is a better experience on the bigger screen, but it's a sacrifice many will be happy to make in exchange for more portability and a bit of a saving when it comes to cash. Inside the i. Pad mini 4 is the Apple- designed A8 chip compared with the A7 from the i. Pad mini 3 and i. Pad mini 2, which represents a big speed boost (although it's not quite as fast as the A8. X you'll find in the i.
Pad Air 2). That's paired with an M8 co- processor that takes on all of the sensors to ease pressure on the A8, helping to keep things running more efficiently. Our Geekbench 3 processor test found that the i.
Pad mini 4 managed 1. That's compared with the Air 2's 1. Air, but any that only need a single core should run at almost the same speed. It's impressive stuff for an i. Pad of its size, and in reality you'll find that the i. Pad mini 4 is a smooth, speedy machine, even when running two apps at once with Apple's new multitasking tools.
Graphics power is good, too, although still not as good as the Air 2. The mini 4 managed 3. T- Rex and Manhattan GFXBench tests respectively, compared with the 5. Air 2. But it is much faster than the i. Pad mini 2 and i.
Pad mini 3, which scored 2. T- Rex and 9fps in Manhattan. You'll still find the Touch ID fingerprint sensor beneath the Home button with the i.
Pad mini 4, but it hasn't been upgraded to the new, super- fast generation boasted by the i. Phone 6s and 6s Plus. Still, it's a great feature for added security and convenience, plus Apple Pay. The i. Pad mini 4, as mentioned, is now only available in 1. GB, despite launching with 1. GB, 6. 4GB and 1. GB models, along with the option of Wi.
Fi- only or Wi. Fi + Cellular if you want mobile connectivity. That Wi. Fi is 8. Mbps, and there's Bluetooth 4.
When it comes to battery life, the i. Pad mini 4 achieved a score of 3. Geek. Bench 3 battery test. You can expect the tablet to last for around 6 hours of active use but if you only use it from time to time that battery life can stretch to days if not weeks. The battery benchmark score for the i. Pad mini 4 is actually lower than the i.
Pad mini 3's score of 4. Pad mini 2's 3. 99. Pad with the worst battery life out of all of Apple's range, but not my a large margin. Pad mini 4 review: Cameras. We're becoming slightly more accustomed to the idea of taking photos on a tablet, particularly when it's an i.
Pad mini, so we know that many people will be pleased to hear that the rear camera has been bumped up from 5. Mp to 8. Mp, which isn't bad at all. It has quick auto- focus and good face detection, too. The photos below have been resized to 8. You'll also get Burst mode and Slo- Mo video (1. A8 chip. Panoramas can be captured at up to 4.
Mp and look fantastic. Video is 1. 08. 0p at 3. On the front, you'll find a 1. Mp camera, which is not so great compared to the 5. Mp front facing camera of the i. Pad Pro 9. 7, but it is the same as the one found in the i. Pad Air 2. Read next: Best i.
