The iPad mini is fully packed with loads of incredible new features. It has a stunning Retina display, the incredibly powerful A7 chip, advanced wireless technologies, and much more. Yet it is of the same thickness and weight as iPad mini. It is just 0.29 inches in thickness and weighs less than three-quarters of a pound. So you can do even more cool stuff, without holding any more weight.

INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCES

The newly designed A7 chip from Apple brings 64-bit desktop-class architecture to the iPad, which means up to 4x the CPU speed and up to 8x the graphics performance for everything. Moreover, you are still left with up to 10 hours of battery life to study, play, build, and create.

SIGNATURE BATTERY LIFE

Even though it is up to four times as fast as the previous-generation the iPad mini, it still gives you the same incredible 10-hour battery life that is only possible because the A7 chip is not just more powerful, it is also more efficient.

ADVANCED WIRELESS PROWESS

The iPad mini helps you to stay connected and sync with all your favorite app, book, movie or your Facetime call or iMessage with its ultra-fast wireless technology.

SUPERFAST WI-FI

The iPad mini offers up to 2x WiFi performance with its two antennas and MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology. It employs dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n WiFi and MIMO , by which download speeds can reach up to 300 Mbps — double the data rate of the previous-generation the iPad mini. So now your connection is even faster than before.

READY TO WORK AND PLAY

The iPad mini is the perfect everyday companion. That is because it comes with apps that help you do the everyday things like check emails, talk over FaceTime, or consult Siri to settle a bet. iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote come free with the iPad mini, which can help you to write the next great novel, nail your presentation, and compose a score for your home movie — all from your iPad mini. All these apps are optimized for 64-bit architecture. This ensures that they run smoothly and powerfully and make iPad mini — and you — more capable than ever.

OVER 475,000 APPS AT THE APP STORE.

Plan a road trip. Study whale migration. Draw blueprints for a building. Or repel a zombie invasion. For anything and everything you do, there is an iPad app. The new ones are always being added in the App Store. The iPad apps are much easier to use, since they are not just stretched-out phone apps. These apps take advantage of every pixel on the Retina display and leverage technologies like the gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass.

FACETIME ISIGHT CAMERAS. MORE REASON TO SMILE.

Sometimes it is nice to put a face to the conversation and with FaceTime video calls on the iPad mini, your conversations never looked better. You can make a video call over Wi-Fi or cellular and see (or show) every expression on the beautiful display. Moreover, the FaceTime HD camera now features a next-generation backside illumination sensor with bigger pixels, which brightens up all your FaceTime chats, selfies, and group Photo Booth shots, even in low-light situations.

5MP ISIGHT CAMREA

We think about what goes into a great shot, so you do not have to. The 5-megapixel iSight camera on the iPad mini was designed to help you capture all of life’s moments at a moment’s notice. You can use the Retina display as an easy viewfinder to frame the perfect shot and quickly swipe between capturing stills or 1080p HD video. Every time you shoot, the image signal processor in the A7 chip works with the camera to make a ton of adjustments and deliver a great picture or video — automatically. You don’t have to think about anything other than who you’re going to share the moment with.

DUAL MICROPHONES

The iPad mini hears where you are coming from, by using a pair of microphones and they don’t just collect more sound — they work together to capture better sound by suppressing audio from the source you are not focused on. So the audio on FaceTime calls is improved because there is less background noise. Your video recordings sound clearer and Siri is even better at recognizing what you are saying.

IPAD MINI AND IOS 7. THE ULTIMATE COMBO

The iOS 7 is specifically designed for iPad mini, which introduces great new features, such as smarter multitasking, AirDrop, and Control Center. It helps you to do everyday tasks even easier, faster, and more enjoyable.
