Ondrej Holzman At introducing the new iPad mini 4 Apple stated that its smallest tablet practically acquired the features of the iPad Air 2. However, in reality, it only received an A8 processor, not the improved A8X. Ultimately, however, the iPad mini 4 is faster than previous products with the same chip.
Last year's iPhones 8 and 6 Plus were equipped with an A6 chip, but the iPad mini 4 got an overclocked chip that is slightly faster. Its processor runs at around 1,5GHz, while last year's iPhones clocked in at about a tenth lower.
Testing through Geekbench showed that the iPad mini 4 is significantly slower than the iPad Air 2, but at the same time roughly 20 percent faster than its two predecessors, the iPad mini 2 and 3 (both using the A7). They are roughly on par with the iPhone 6 in terms of performance.
Against all mentioned products, except for the iPad Air 2, the iPad mini 4 has the advantage of twice the size of the operating memory. The iPad Air 2 also has 2GB of RAM, but one more core that makes it almost half as fast.
Nevertheless, the current performance of the iPad mini 4 is sufficient for it to be able to use new forms of multitasking in iOS 9, i.e. to run two applications side by side or two windows on top of each other.
The cheapest iPad mini 4 (16 GB) can be purchased for 10 crowns. For the version with a mobile connection, you need to pay an additional 690 crowns. However, it is not the only new iPad that we can buy from Apple. The Californian company also quietly introduced a new silicone case, designed specifically for the iPad mini 3.
The silicone case exists in ten color variants, protects the back of the iPad and serves as an addition to the popular Smart Cover, as it has space on one side for its magnetic attachment.
In conjunction with the Smart Cover (1 crowns), however, the new silicone case (190 crowns) costs an already very high 1 crowns. The Smart Case is not available for the iPad mini 790, which just combined the two parts into one and was offered for a much more favorable price of 2 crowns.
only apple can pay such money for a piece of rubber
Hello everyone, I bought an iPad mini some time ago. But I immediately sent it back because its color rendering was just terrible compared to the big iPad and iPhone (since version 5). Do you know if something has changed in the 4th generation? Thanks
What generation mini did you try? If the first one, no wonder - she didn't have a retina. Even so, minis have a slightly worse display than 9,7″ iPads, and there are more discussions on the Internet about the color rendering you mentioned in particular.
Anyway, quite a fail from Apple if the mini has a worse display. If this is really the case with the mini 4, then it will make absolutely no sense to shoot this device. Worse display, weaker processor and cheaper by only 1100 per czc. I prefer air 2.
Well, a worse display is a negligible thing for many people. It is 'supposedly' only in the presentation of colors. Today I went to look at it in iStyle and I didn't see the difference there. Same processor. On the contrary, portability is invaluable for someone +…
Guys, I don't know about your eyesight, but the iPad mini (retina) is just horribly washed out. And it's not just a direct comparison, when a person is used to iPhone and Mac, the iPad catches his eye immediately. Just like super amoled displays from Samsung. They, in turn, have terribly burnt and unnatural colors. Practical use? You edit a photo, post it on Facebook, and it looks completely different to others.
