Nový iPad mini 4 although he didn't get as much space at the recent keynote as other introduced news, however, it is still an interesting product that will appeal to many users. The smallest Apple tablet got practically the same internals as the larger iPad Air 2, and it also got a slimmer body.

With its traditional breakdown now he came server iFixit, which confirmed the majority of what we already knew about the iPad mini 4. Compared to the iPad Air 2, except for the display size, of course, it really differs only in a few details. Instead of two rows of speakers, it has only one, but with larger openings; this to save space.

The positive news for users is that the iPad mini 4 inherited the display design from its bigger brother (which did not undergo a revision in September). It is because of this that it is more difficult to replace it, because not only the glass can be changed, but the entire display part, but on the other hand, the display is a bit thinner, has better color reproduction and will reflect less light.

Analysis by DisplayMate she showed, that the iPad mini 4 offers better color reproduction compared to its predecessors and can compete with the iPad Air 2 or iPhones with six. Previous models of the iPad mini had a 62% color gamut, i.e. the area of ​​the color spectrum that the device is able to display, the latest generation increases it and has a 101% color gamut.

The readability in the sun and the overall reflectivity of the display should be much better on the iPad mini 4. The two percent reflectivity is significantly less than in previous versions (iPad mini 3 had 6,5% and the first iPad mini 9%). The use of a special anti-reflective layer, which was the first to be introduced a year ago, is also key here iPad Air 2. The iPad mini 4 also has 2,5x to 3,5x better contrast in ambient light than most competing tablets.

The most significant difference between the iPad Air 2 and the iPad mini 4 can be found in the battery. The large iPad can fit two batteries (as well as the iPad mini 3), but the fourth Mini cannot accommodate such a large battery due to its thinner body. The iPad mini 4's single-cell battery has a capacity of 19,1 watt-hours, which is less than the Mini 3 (24,3 watt-hours) and Air 2 (27,2 watt-hours), but Apple still promises the same 10-hour battery life.
