The iPad mini is Apple’s latest offering and has taken the market by storm, selling over three million iPad mini and iPad 4 tablets in just three days and setting a new record for Apple in the process. So, if you have been wondering whether you should buy one, you might first want to find out precisely what it can bring to the table in terms of new features and hardware. Obviously, the iPad mini is a smaller edition of the iPad's predecessors, but it includes all of the same great features that users have come to recognise. It has lost around two inches in height and width when compared to the older iPad 2, and it is also slightly slimmer than this older model. The iPad mini also weight about half the amount that an iPad 2 does, which means that it is easily to carry around and fit into a bag without it becoming bulky. This does of course mean that the display is smaller, but the crispness of it is still just as excellent as it has always been with other iPad models. The resolution is also still 1024x768, with the iPad mini having 163 pixels per inch (ppi) and has the fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating of previous iPads. As the iPad 2, the iPad mini uses the dual-core A5 chip, which is the second version of this chip. Probably one of the most anticipated add-ons to the iPad mini are its cameras, which include a FaceTime HD camera and an iSight camera. The FaceTime camera comes with face detection and backside illumination, and can take 1.2MP photos and 720p HD video. The iSight camera offers 5MP photos and has autofocus, face detection, backside illumination, a five-element lens and a Hybrid IR filter. The iPad mini's Wi-Fi capabilities are just as good as the iPad 2 and original iPad, and it also offers 3G connection when outside of a wireless internet zone. It uses a nano sim rather than a micro-sim, just as the iPhone 5 does, and it connects via a lightning cable instead of a 30-pin connector. This enables the iPad to be as smooth and sleek as it is, although older connectors and accessories may still be useable with the correct adaptors. The iPad mini offers up to 10 hours of use when connected to a Wi-Fi signal, and there is up to 9 hours of battery life when using 3G, which means it has an equal battery life to its predecessors despite its smaller size.
