From the very beginning, the creation of the iPad mini tablet was not planned, because Steve Jobs was of the opinion that a small tablet is a huge smartphone that will not resonate with buyers. Other executives at Apple also shared this thought with their boss. Everything changed when competing companies began to produce just such "kids". And on October 23, 2012, Apple presented its first budget tablet.
Specifications
Why, in fact, is the Apple iPad mini tablet budget? First of all, this was achieved due to the fact that this little miracle was equipped with a 7.9-inch diagonal screen with a resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels. Yes, this is not a Retina display, but still a good choice if you want to use the equipment of a famous brand without taking a serious hit on your pocket. The processor of this device remained the same as on the iPhone 4S and the New iPad - the dual-core Apple A5 with the number of cycles up to 1000 MHz per second. The developers put 512 MB of RAM into this tablet, which, frankly, is not enough for the requirements of current users.
Camera
In the Apple iPad mini tablet, engineers have built two cameras that deserve to be carefullyto consider: it is a front camera with a photo quality of 1.2 MP and a main iSight camera with a resolution of 5 MP. Thanks to this module, iPad mini provides high-quality shooting, both during the day and in the evening. Face Time camera (that is, frontal) is designed for video calls. This camera can detect faces in photos and record video at up to 720p resolution, while the main camera on the tablet can record 1080p quality video. The iPad mini is no substitute for a professional camera, but if you don't feel like spending money again, you can be sure that the main camera on this tablet will be a good help to implement the most daring photo ideas.
Wireless features
The Apple iPad mini has a classic set of wireless features, including Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, and LTE models that support 3G, but this variant is unlikely to gain wide popularity, because in countries CIS development of third generation networks is only at the initial stage, but what the hell is not joking?

The Apple iPad mini 16gb tablet has a starting price of $329. Such a miracle of technology can be a great birthday present for a child. The Apple iPad mini 32gb will cost $429, while the gadget with the most memory will set you back $529.
