​

A beautiful display, powerful A5 chip, FaceTime HD camera, iSight camera with 1080p HD video
recording, ultrafast wireless, and over 275,000 apps ready to download from the App Store.
iPad mini is an iPad in every way, shape, and slightly smaller form.

​

Perfectly sized LED-backlit display.

iPad mini makes one thing clear: Its 7.9-inch display more than measures up to the complete iPad
experience. View web pages in Safari. See where you are and what’s around you using Maps.1
Flick through your photos and watch videos in vivid detail. And wave hello to the family on a
FaceTime call.2 The iPad mini display uses the same LED backlight technology as iPad to
give you plenty of pop per square inch. And it’s perfectly sized to work with hundreds
of thousands of apps made for iPad.

​

Thin and light design.

iPad mini has everything that makes an iPad an iPad, but it’s a fraction of the size. At just 7.2 millimeters,
it’s pencil thin and unbelievably light.3 You can easily hold it in your palm. And stash it in your smallest
bag without a second thought, so it’s always close at hand.

Powerful A5 chip.

iPad is known for its fast, fluid performance, and iPad mini doesn’t disappoint. It features the powerful and
power-efficient A5 chip, which makes everything you do feel smooth and natural. From the little things like
switching from app to app and swiping from page to page, to the big things like editing photos, watching
movies, and playing games.


10-hour battery life.

iPad mini wouldn’t be an iPad without incredible battery life. Even with so much performance packed into
such a small space, it still lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge.5 So you can read, watch, play, write
and create whatever you want, as long as you want.

Wave hello with FaceTime video calling.

With FaceTime built into iPad mini, you can make a video call over Wi-Fi or cellular.2 The front-facing Face
Time HD camera gives everyone a great view of you, while the iSight camera on the back lets you show
others what you’re seeing. So even when you’re out and about, your friends and family are never out
of the loop. You can hear every laugh and see every smile. And with the 7.9-inch display, you’ve got
more than enough screen to take in the whole scene. You can also use the front-facing camera for
taking self-portraits or recording 720p HD video.

Record HD video in full 1080p.

An impromptu performance on the subway, the winning shot at your daughter’s soccer game, an awesome
360-degree view from the top of the mountain — the iSight camera on iPad mini lets you capture all these
unpredictable, beautiful, spectacular moments. In 1080p HD, no less. The spacious iPad mini display gives
you a great view of whatever you’re filming. And with automatic video stabilization, your recording is free
of bumps and shakes. So your videos are instantly ready to share.



Shoot 5-megapixel still images.

The 5-megapixel iSight camera features a backside illumination sensor that captures great-looking pictures
whether by sunlight or candlelight. When you shoot photos, the big, beautiful iPad mini display becomes
a big, beautiful viewfinder — giving you plenty of room to compose your shot. Autofocus, tap to focus,
and tap to set exposure functions mean every photo you take instantly becomes frameworthy. And
with built-in face detection that automatically balances focus and exposure across up to 10 faces,
there’s more room for more grins. So everyone look at iPad mini and say “Cheese.”



Advanced Wi-Fi technology. Built in.

iPad mini features advanced Wi-Fi that's up to twice as fast as any previous-generation iPad. With dual-band
(2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n Wi-Fi and support for channel bonding, download speeds can reach up to 150
Mbps.6 Translation: The things you do every day may start to feel a whole lot faster.



Next-generation cellular connectivity — up to LTE.

If you want to connect to the Internet even when you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, choose iPad mini with
Wi-Fi + Cellular. It can make ultrafast cellular network connections around the world — including LTE7
and other advanced wireless networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA. So you can download
content, stream video, and browse the web at amazing speeds — without a contract or long-term
commitment.
​

A new way to get connected.

iPad mini is so thin and light, it requires an ultraslim connector. It’s called the Lightning connector, and
it features an all-digital, eight-signal design that’s significantly more durable than the 30-pin connector.
Another brilliant feature of Lightning: It’s reversible. Which means there’s no wrong way to plug in the cable.


Lightning to 30-pin Adapter.

If you have an iPad accessory that depends on the 30-pin connector, you can still connect it to your
iPad mini. Simply use a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (sold separately).

Our goal was clear: Create the smallest possible iPad that could still deliver the full iPad experience. iPad mini
is 23 percent thinner, 53 percent lighter,* and fits in one hand — yet it can do everything an iPad can do.
To accomplish that, we went back to the very beginning and designed it from scratch.

Since iPad is all about the display, that’s where we started. We wanted it to be small, but not too small. It
had to be big enough to do all the things you love to do on iPad. And it had to work with all the apps made
for iPad. With that as our guide, we were able to determine the perfect size: 7.9 inches. Because at that
size, it feels like an iPad in every way — only it’s mini.

But iPad mini isn’t just a scaled-down iPad. We designed it to be a concentration, rather than a reduction, of
the original. A refined unibody consolidates more parts into one. A single-cell battery — the thinnest ever made
by Apple — takes up less space, but lasts just as long. The iSight camera is smaller, yet still takes 5 megapixel
photos and shoots full 1080p HD video. And while the display is slimmer and lighter, it’s also incredibly vibrant.

The iPad mini display stands out in all the right ways. It has the same 1024-by-768 resolution as iPad 2 — in
a size that’s significantly smaller. So everything looks incredibly crisp and sharp. And since the iPad mini display
has 35 percent more screen area than a 7-inch tablet, everything is easier to read and interact with. The iPad
mini display is also designed to take greater advantage of every pixel. So apps, magazines, and documents fill
the screen, from top to bottom and edge to edge. In portrait and in landscape.

Megapixels matter. But the quality of a photo is determined by other things, too — like the camera’s optics, image
signal processor, and software. The iSight camera uses advanced optics to give you the best picture possible.
With an ƒ/2.4 aperture and a five-element lens, it captures light efficiently to produce a sharper and brighter
overall image. And the hybrid infrared filter — typically reserved for expensive SLR cameras — keeps out
harmful IR light for more accurate, uniform colors.


Advancements that go layers deep.

The five-element camera lens built into iPad mini captures light efficiently to produce a sharper and brighter overall image.
