The long awaited moment has arrived, after Apple officially presented the iPad mini, its fourth-generation tablet just 7.9 inches, to battle the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire. This new iPad mini is equipped with an A5 chip and begin to be available from November 2 in the main international markets, with an entry price of $ 329.
Now we finally have the new generation of the most successful tablet market: the iPad . As expected, Apple unveiled its new tablet of 7 inches , but they are actually 7.9, called as many expected (happily), iPad mini.
This iPad mini has the following characteristics: In the field of the screen, remember that is 7.9 inches, with the same resolution as the iPad 2, ie, no Retina display for this model, only 1024 x 786. Yes, its casing is made of aluminum, not plastic, as Phil Schiller said, alluding to the Google Nexus 7. It weighs 300 grams.
The processor of the iPad mini is the dual-core A5, the same as we have in the iPad 2. But here it should be emphasized that there has been a new version of the iPad 3 (new iPad), with A6x processor, which offers twice the performance that we found in the iPad 3G chip A5X.
The iPad mini has a battery capable of exceeding 10 hours, said Apple, though that will check if the device can be tested by users. Furthermore, it indicates that it is the finest that has been designed by Apple engineers: just two millimeters wide.
The FaceTime camera of iPad mini is capable of recording video in HD (720p), while the back features 5 megapixel camera.
Its connectivity is: 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n dual band Lightning connector port.
Now time to talk about the most important, availability: It will be in different versions, for example, the iPad mini 16GB with only Wi-Fi will cost $ 329, while the 32 GB and 64 GB, U.S. $ 429 and U.S. $ 529 respectively. But if you want the iPad mini with 4G LTE connectivity, these are the prices: $ 459, $ 559 and $ 659. The iPad hit the market as of November 2, but it can pre-order this Friday (only Wi-Fi version for 4G LTE connectivity will have to wait two more weeks). What do you think?
