Apple iPad Mini 64GB WiFi - White/Silver
The full iPad experience - There's less of it, but no less to it.
Everything you love about iPad — the beautiful screen, fast and fluid
performance, FaceTime and iSight cameras, thousands of amazing apps,
10-hour battery life* — is everything you’ll love about iPad mini too.
And you can hold it in one hand.
Beautiful 7.9-Inch Display - A screen worth of iPad
Colours are vivid and text is sharp on the iPad mini display. But what
really makes it stand out is its size. At 7.9 inches, it’s perfectly
sized to deliver an experience every bit as big as iPad.
Main Features:
Thin, light design - iPad mini is a mere 7.2mm thin and 308g light.
iSight camera - iPad mini features a 5MP, five-element iSight camera — the smallest ever in an iPad.
Incredible fit and finish - The diamond-cut chamfer joins seamlessly with the glass display.
Lightning connector - The Lightning connector is designed to be durable and reversible.
All-aluminium unibody - The entire enclosure is machined from a solid block of aluminium.
Over 275,000 Apps - If it's made for iPad Mini
Right from the start, apps made for iPad also work with iPad mini.
They’re immersive, full-screen apps that let you do almost anything you
can imagine. And they make iPad mini practically impossible to put down.
Ultra-Fast Wireless - Fast Connections. The world over.

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 zing 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 millimetres, 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.
Built-in apps.
Straight out of the box, iPad mini is ready for big things. Map out
your next adventure. Then shoot it in 1080p HD. Ask Siri to help you
find the best pizza in town. Watch a webcast or a film. Read a
best-seller or a magazine. Check email. Send messages. Or stay in touch
face to face over FaceTime. You’ll be amazed at how much is built right
in.1
Over 275,000 apps from the App Store.
The App Store is home to over 275,000 iPad apps and counting.4 And
right from the start, they work on iPad mini. But quantity is only part
of the story. These are beautiful, immersive, made-just-for-iPad apps.
And they change the way you do everything. You can make a spreadsheet
for work, make a Hollywood-style trailer for fun, plan a lesson, plan a
trip or simply plan a meal — all on a device you can hold in one hand.
Incredible Performance - Mini is mighty
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 films 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.
FaceTime and iSight cameras - With two built-in camera, every side is its good side.
Wave hello with FaceTime video calling.
With FaceTime built into iPad mini, you can make a video call over
Wi-Fi or a mobile network.2 The front-facing FaceTime 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 train, the winning goal at your son’s
football match, an amazing 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 stabilisation, 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 frame-worthy. 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”.
Ultra-Fast wireless. Fast connections. The world over.
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 (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) 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 mobile connectivity
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 ultra-fast
mobile network connections around the world — including 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.
Siri - You're intelligent assistant
Just ask Siri.
Siri is the intelligent assistant that helps you get things done, just
by asking. Talk to Siri as you would to a person: ask “Do I need an
umbrella?” or “What time is the barbecue on Sunday?” Siri not only
understands what you say, it knows what you mean. It works out the right
apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal
assistant, Siri provides you with the information you need.7
iOS - Operating System
The world’s most advanced mobile operating system.
At the core of every iPad, iPhone or iPod touch is iOS. It includes all
the built-in apps you use every day and all the intuitive technology —
like Multi-Touch and Siri — that makes iPad mini so advanced. With every
free iOS update comes even more capability for your devices. You’ll
find the latest version, iOS 6, already installed on iPad mini. So
straight out of the box, you get more than 200 new features to make the
things you do
i-Cloud - Built Directly into the iPad
Your content. On all your devices.
iCloud is built directly into iPad mini. Just turn it on and you’ll
have instant access to all the things you need, whether you’re on your
iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac or PC.8 New features in iOS 6 let you do
even more with iCloud. Share the photos you want with the people you
choose using Shared Photo Streams. Locate, lock and recover your
misplaced iPad mini easier than ever. Browse a web page on one device
and pick up where you left off on another using iCloud Tabs. And that’s
just for starters.
AirPlay - Play it on your iPad Mini. Watch it on your HDTV.
Stream via AirPlay.
All the great stuff on your iPad mini — your music, photos and videos —
can stream wirelessly to your HDTV and speakers via Apple TV9 or to
AirPlay-enabled speakers over a Wi-Fi network. With just a tap of the
AirPlay icon, you can rock the house with your favourite album, have a
film night or show off some photos. And go large.
Print via AirPrint.
Print straight from your iPad mini over Wi-Fi with AirPrint. There’s no
software to download, no drivers to install and no cables to connect.
Print from Mail, Photos, Safari and iBooks. Or any of the iWork apps —
Pages, Keynote and Numbers. With just a few taps, you can send
whatever’s onscreen to an AirPrint-enabled printer.
iPad mini Smart Cover - Smaller, but just as smart
Made for iPad mini. And vice versa.
The cover that wakes up, stands up and brightens up iPad has been
redesigned for iPad mini.10 And what a smart pair they are. iPad mini
and the iPad mini Smart Cover, that is. Magnetic technology built into
each one really pulls them together. The Smart Cover snaps perfectly
into place to protect your screen — without adding bulk. Open the Smart
Cover and your iPad mini wakes up. Close it and your iPad mini goes to
sleep. Fold the Smart Cover and it becomes a stand. It’s all just so,
well, smart.
Lightning Connector - Smaller, Smarter, Durable, Reversible
A new way to get connected.
iPad mini is so thin and light, it requires an ultra-slim 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).
DESIGN
Making an iPad this small was no small feat.
Our goal was clear: create the smallest possible iPad that could still
deliver the full iPad experience. iPad mini is 23 per cent thinner, 53
per cent 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.
DISPLAY:
An amazing display. Any way you look at it.
The iPad mini display stands out in all the right ways. It has the same
1024x768 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 a 35 per cent larger screen 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.
A display that's not just smaller. It's smarter.
iPad mini is small. But when you use it, it doesn’t feel small. That’s
because it’s designed to give you the maximum amount of screen in the
minimum amount of space. To achieve that, we had to rethink the
relationship between the screen and the overall shape of the product.
iPad has symmetrical bezels around all its edges. But for iPad mini, we
reduced the width of the bezels on two sides of the display. So although
the screen is smaller, it’s even more prominent. Rethinking the screen
meant we also had to rethink the software behind it. iPad mini
intelligently recognises whether your thumb is simply resting on the
display or whether you’re intentionally interacting with it. It’s the
kind of detail you’ll notice — by not noticing it. And it’s a great
example of how Apple hardware and software work together to give you the
best experience possible.
It all comes together beautifully
In making iPad mini, we executed every detail with extraordinary
precision. That’s what gives iPad mini its incredible fit and finish.
Take, for example, the aluminium unibody — our most advanced yet. We
took everything we’ve learned about making a unibody enclosure and
refined the process to be even more material-efficient and exact. With
tolerances measured in microns, mono-crystalline diamond-cut edges and
sleek metallic finishes, iPad mini was designed and engineered to
incredibly high standards. And you can sense that every time you pick it
up. It feels beautifully made. Precisely because it is.
Camera:
Great shots are in the details.
Mega-pixels 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
colours.
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.
The thought and consideration we put in to our products go well beyond design.
How a product looks and performs matters, but so does its impact on the
environment. That’s why nearly every Apple product is made from highly
recyclable materials like aluminium, and why we refuse to use harmful
toxins in our components.
Every iPad mini is free of brominated
flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In fact, Apple
has one of the strictest BFR-free and PVC-free standards in the
industry. And we expect the same from our suppliers. We go so far as to
disassemble our products into individual components and materials in our
Cupertino lab. Then we test them using many methods, including X-ray
fluorescence spectroscopy and ion chromatography. We do this to ensure
that every product we release meets our environmental standards.
Built-in Apps
Does every little thing. And every big one too.
Browse the web. Check email. Make FaceTime calls. Share your photos. Or
ask Siri to do it all for you. iPad mini features the same helpful, fun
and everyday essential built-in apps as iPad. So you can do all the
things you love to do. On a device that’s thinner, lighter and every bit
as immersive.
Safari. Get a full view of the sites
There’s nothing small about Safari on iPad mini. Websites look
incredible on the 7.9-inch high-resolution display. Browsing is fast and
responsive. And because iPad mini is so small, you can take the web
with you wherever you go.
Browse fast.
Speedy Wi-Fi or fast mobile data connections and a powerful A5 chip
mean web pages load in a blink.1 Tap, pinch or scroll, and you’ll notice
the incredible response.
Read articles without distractions.
Just tap the Reader icon and clutter instantly disappears. All you see
is the article. Not enough time to read it? Add the article’s link to
your Reading List and finish it later. No Internet connection? Safari
saves web pages — not just links — in your Reading List, so you can
catch up even when you’re offline.
Share the sites.
If you’re on a web page you find interesting and want to share it, you
can. Easily. One tap opens a menu that lets you email a link to the
page, tweet about it or post it on Facebook.
Safari and iCloud.
iCloud keeps your Reading List, bookmarks and tabs up to date across
all your devices automatically. So you can pick up on one device where
you left off on another.
