Ondrej Holzman Apple introduced the new iPad mini 3, which, however, did not receive nearly as much attention as the latest iPad Air 2. In fact, Phil Schiller devoted only a few tens of seconds to it at the keynote. The third iPad mini does come with Touch ID, but it still has last year's A7 processor, while the new iPad Air got one and a half generations newer A8X. The most significant change is the new gold variant, as the body and display remain unchanged.
Unfortunately, the expected arrival of Touch ID is not accompanied by too many other novelties, and after Apple compared the performance of both tablets last year, they diverge again this year. The iPad mini 3, with last year's A7 chip including the M7 coprocessor, is nowhere near as powerful as the latest iPad Air 2, and it hasn't even received an improved camera.
In short: the iPad mini 3 only has Touch ID and a gold color compared to the previous generation, and the question is whether it even makes sense to upgrade to the latest iPad mini if you already own the older versions. In addition, the iPhone 6 Plus with a 5,5-inch display is also a big rival from September.
The cheapest iPad mini costs 10 crowns, it is a 690GB storage and Wi-Fi version. The middle version has 16 GB and costs 64 crowns, for the 13 GB iPad mini 390 we will pay 128 crowns. If you are interested in the version with a mobile connection, you have to prepare 3 crowns for the iPad mini 16 with the smallest storage. Larger variants with mobile connection cost 090 and 14 crowns respectively. Pre-orders start tomorrow, October 190.
So is there anything new in the new iPad mini other than touchID and gold color?
Nothing.
So at least it's worth buying the mini 2, which could be cheaper....
yoo :-)
And what should be there? SD card slot :)?
Maybe a new processor? Improved camera? Thinner, lighter, improved display. Just like the iPad Air 2. No change compared to the previous generation except for the gold color and Touch ID.
What on earth is the photo for? Do you take pictures of it? So you probably don't know much about photography...
thinner lighter... 2mm and 100g, I get you.. You won't know if it's an A8X or a B9Y anyway unless you're editing video on it or editing photos taken with this machine :)
Do you have a problem with me taking documentaries with it? There is of course 5Mpx vs 8Mpx to know.
The iPad Air 2 is much larger and catches up with the weight of the iPad Mini – let's face it, I have it because of its low weight. And that's why I would still welcome a lower one, including the 30g, which is currently lighter Air 2 vs Air 1
I don't really care about the thickness, but with that thickness, they significantly modified the display. Mainly, they narrowed it down, which is why it is a significant innovation.
And yes, there is a substantial 40% increase in CPU and 2,5x faster GPU.
And it's not about how much someone needs it or if it's really needed. But that they made a new model with a price like a new model, but did not give it anything new. And that's simply a fact.
Yes, the fact that you are stupid and need 8 Mpx to take photos with a tablet for documents.... best if it had at least 48 Mpx, maybe more. The more megapixels, the more Adidas
karol: You are very nice, jelito :-)
They didn't even put ac Wi-Fi in there - that's crazy. It seems to me as if they want to bury him. Such a super device. Damage.
I have a theory: this year they will introduce the iPad Air with a big show, and next year the iPad Mini and Air will only get a mess uldate.
Another theory: they want to test how many people will buy a device without a minimum of innovation, just with a new name and a higher price.
Ha, they want to cut him. It will fall on the altar of the "pocket" monster iP 6+ :( Jojo, testosterone is disappearing from Apple, but estrogen is increasing :(
I always defend Apple, but I have to admit this, I'm not such an iOvce... This is disgusting. Charge almost three grand for Touch ID…
