Apple iPad mini 3 is a completely amazing iOS tablet released back in the year 2014, coming with a great 1300 MHz Dual-Core 64-bits processing unit, a big 7.9" multi touch screen, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.2 megapixels front camera. Is that all? No, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
About its design materials, this tablet is mainly created with Aluminium, which gives it a quality finish and improved resistance. This tablet is offerred in 2 different colors, gray and gold. The iPad mini 3 is extremely slim and practical, being just 0.3" thick. This tablet is only 7.87 inches long and 5.3 inches wide, but it still manages to hold a 7.9 inches display. Apple appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 12.03 ounces tablet device.
Apple decided to build this tablet using a Apple A7 system chip, including a high-tech 1.3 gigahertz Dual-Core 64 bit processor and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little bit poor comparing with its awesome processor. Graphic rendering generally uses lots of CPU processing time, so it also has an additional PowerVR G6430 graphics processing unit running at 600 MHz to take some work out of the processor. A nice advantage of this tablet is the 16 GB quite large internal memory and although it doesn't include an SD memory card expansion slot, it is enough to store hundreds of apps, although it might not be enough if you are fan of the heaviest games available nowadays or taking tons of pictures and videos.
The Apple iPad mini 3 has two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front side camera. It is capable of filming videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. This device also includes a large number of valuable features like auto-focus, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, time lapse video, HDR mode and geo tagging.
The iPad mini 3 includes an absolutely amazing 1536 x 2048 7.9" screen, which makes all images and videos look brightful and colorful. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.
The iPad mini 3 has WiFi capability (which it can provide to other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high speed internet connection and the fastest 3G internet connection, supported by HSPA, UMTS, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. This device works with a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers and it works with both GSM and CDMA carriers.
This tablet packs a 6350 mAh massive non-replaceable battery providing this tablet an incredibly long battery life. An issue to evaluate is that the iPad mini 3's battery is non-replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts to lose capacity, although having 6350 mAh you will probably buy a new tablet before it becomes an issue.
This tablet also features a couple of interesting characteristics such as Fingerprint Sensor, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
Apple is offering this tablet for 325 dollars, which is quite expensive for a tablet this level. No matter if you want it majorly for internet broswing and social networks, want a tablet for gaming, want a work tablet or want this portable tablet to take lots of photos, this tablet is a very good choice for you. Apple sells this tablet with USB Power Adapter and Lightning to USB Cable.
