What's new about the i. Pad 9. 7- inch? We didn't expect Apple to change the design of the i. Pad when it launched the i.
Pad Air 2, but the company surprised us by making the already thin and light device even slimmer. It's 6. 1mm thick compared with the 7.
Pad Air. The new i. Pad 9. 7- inch has returned to that 7. Air (it looks the same in Apple's photos).
The main upgrade is the A9 processor with embedded M9 co- processor. This is the chip originally seen first in the i. Phone 6. S and 6. S Plus. We are assuming that Apple has increased its speed for use in the new i.
Pad, but it never releases these figures officially. The only other change is that the screen is now brighter. Apple hasn't said how much brighter, and doesn't quote a figure in the Tech Specs section on its website. Resolution remains the same at 2. The True Tone screen didn't make it to this low- cost i.

Apple i. Pad mini 4 Review & Rating. Farewell, i. Pad mini 3, we hardly knew ye. Casually announced at the end of Apple's i. Pad Pro presentation, the i.
Pad mini 4 replaces last year's mini 3 as the company's high- end small- screen tablet. The i. Pad mini 4 is a lot like its predecessor in many ways, save for some key hardware upgrades that make it feel faster.
It's a great small tablet that runs smoothly, with a fantastic app experience and a premium feel—but it's hard to justify the $3. GB model) when you can buy the still- solid i. Pad mini 2 for $2.
Design and Pricing. Available in gold, silver, or space gray, the i. Pad mini 4 is just about identical to the i. Pad mini 3, except a bit thinner and lighter. It measures 8 by 5. HWD) to the i. Pad mini 3's 8 by 5.
And the new mini 4 weighs just 1. There are no drastic changes to the display—it's still the same 7. IPS LCD panel that you'll find on the i. Pad mini 3 and the i. Pad mini 2. One key difference is that the screen is now laminated, so the air gap between the display and the glass has been removed, like the i. Pad Air 2, which greatly decreases glare. Indeed, reading on the i.
Pad mini 4 is a much better experience than with its siblings, though it's still not as good as an E Ink display for reading a book—especially outdoors. The screen is bright and vibrant, though not quite as saturated as the 2,0. Super AMOLED panel on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. Like last year's model, the i. Pad mini 4 includes Touch. ID and Apple SIM. Touch ID is Apple's fast and accurate fingerprint sensor that lets you log in quickly and make payments securely without passwords.
Apple SIM lets you use one SIM card regardless of the carrier you use for cellular data—a boon for frequent travelers abroad. The tablet starts at $3. GB Wi- Fi- only model, and goes up to $4. GB and 1. 28. GB models. There's also a cellular option, which starts at $5.
GB model. We tested the gold 1. GB Wi- Fi + Cellular model which sells for $7.
Performance and i. OS 9. Internally, the mini 4's specs are similar to those of the i. Pad Air 2. You get 2.
GB of RAM, up from the i. Pad mini 3's 1. GB, and Apple's A8 dual- core processor, which is the same chip found in the i. Phone 6 (not the tri- core A8. X chip of the i. Pad Air 2). This is all to make i. OS 9 run more smoothly here than on previous i.
Pad minis. And the i. Pad mini 4 does run smoothly, for the most part.
On the Geekbench processor benchmark test, the mini 4 achieved a single- core score of 1,7. Impressive, but the i. Pad Air 2 is more capable with a 1,8. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8. Exynos processor, scored 1,2. The i. Pad Air 2's A8.
X chip seems to make a bit of a difference with i. OS 9. I experienced some slight lag while sifting through several open apps on the i.
Pad mini 4, that I didn't see with the i. Pad Air 2. The i. Phone 6 with the same chip and i.
OS 9 installed, didn't show any lag either. It's likely due to the i. Phone's smaller screen and lower resolution. In my testing, this was the only instance where I noticed any lag. The i. Pad mini 3, which is powered by the same A7 processor as the i. Pad mini 2, scored 1,3.
Geekbench test. One of the marquee features is improved multitasking. To use the multitasking feature, in an app, you must swipe left from the edge of the screen, and you'll get a scrollable app tray.
Tap the second app you want to open and it will appear on the left side of the screen. While split- screen multitasking on the i. Pad mini 4 is a welcome addition, it's not quite as sophisticated as the multi- window (not just split- screen) capabilities of the Galaxy Tab S2, which is capable of switching between six windows. Of course, things can get messy when you open that many windows on an 8- inch screen, but it can be useful to open three or four. That said, i. OS 9's multitasking capabilities are certainly a boon for productivity- minded users, though you'd likely be better served by the 9.
Pad Air 2 or the forthcoming 1. Pad Pro and Apple Pencil stylus. For more on i. OS 9's new features and capabilities, see our full review.
Apple claims the i. Pad mini 4 can last up to 1.
Wi- Fi. Our battery test streams a full- screen video over Wi- Fi on 8. Pad mini 4 lasted for 5 hours and 1. Not quite as long as Apple claims, but in line with other small- screen tablets. The 8- inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 lasted 5 hours, 3.
Asus Zen. Pad S 8. Z5. 80. CA), also 8 inches, only saw 4 hours and 1. The i. Pad mini 3 and the i. Pad Air 2 lasted for 5 hours, 4. The i. Pad mini 4 features 8. Wi- Fi with MIMO support, and performed admirably on our networking tests.
The i. Pad mini 4 also gets a camera upgrade. The same fantastic 8- megapixel camera that's in the i. Pad Air 2 is here, and marks a significant upgrade from the 5.
MP camera on the i. Pad mini 3. If you take a lot of pictures on your tablet, you won't be disappointed—it's quick to focus and takes clear, vibrant shots. HDR mode works well, so you can take balanced exposures without blowing out details like the sky.
Low- light performance will still result in grainier images than your i. Phone, but overall this is a solid tablet camera. The front- facing camera uses the same 1. MP sensor found on the i. Pad mini 3, and is perfectly acceptable for clear video calls. Comparisons and Conclusions. The i. Pad mini 4 is an excellent choice in a category that's slowly being replaced by larger phones like the 5.
Phone 6 Plus and the 5. Galaxy Note 5. Starting at $3.
Apple's unbeatable app selection. And it mostly succeeds. That said, the i. Pad mini 2 is still available at a considerable discount, and while it won't run i. OS 9 with quite the same smoothness, it's still an attractive option when you consider what you actually do with a tablet: browse the Web, watch movies, answer emails, and maybe play some games. For most people it's a better choice.
If you want a slate that will truly run i. OS 9 like butter, you're better off with the Editors' Choice i. Pad Air 2, which has a faster processor for smoother performance, and more screen real estate for split- screen multitasking. And if you're focused on productivity, the Editors' Choice Galaxy Tab S2 8.
