About battery duration, Apple said that mini iPad can last
as long as standard iPad with time of charging fully: you can surf on web,
watch video or listen to music in 10 hours or you can also surf on web through
connection of mobile data in 9 hours. In tests about standard battery
(including repeating one video with full screen in a particular lambert and
volume), mini iPad lasted in 9 hours 12 minutes while iPad of the fourth
generation lasted 8 hours 21 minutes.
Mini includes USB 5W charger that is similar to iPhone 56
more than 10W or 12W chargers that you have in big tablets of Apple. While iPad
of the fourth generation has 42.5W battery, mini uses 16.3Wh battery. Hence, it
will charge by using 5W charger and it will be faster than the newest ipad that
has 12W charger. Battery capacity of mini is as 3 times as iPhone 5, so it will
take more time to charge mini than iPhone.
Sound
Mini iPad really overtakes the newest big iPad about a
technological feature: along the bottom edge, you will see a lot of stereo
sounds. Mini’s sound seems to be smaller. The big model can transmit bigger and
better sound at the biggest rate. Small degree about sound of smaller iPad
begins to be shrill at the high volume. Generally, loudspeaker of mini is
nearly as equal as loudspeaker efficiency of iPhone 5.
Detach Retina
Mini doesn’t have Retina screen, so this is aspect that
causes argument most. Instead of it, it provides screen’s resolution that is
similar to iPad 2: 1,024x768 pixels. That is remarkably lower than 2,048x1,356-pixel
screen of tablets that belong to the third and fourth generation of Apple. And
at least about one aspect, it is lower than 1,136x640-pixel screen of model
iPhone and the newest tough iPod.
Is it really important? This thing depends much on your
reference. Pixel density of mini iPad is only 163 ppi while iPad of the third
and fourth generation is 264 ppi, model iPhone and the newest touch iPod are
326 ppi, 13-inch MacBook Pro is 227 ppi with Retina screen and 15-inch Retina
Macbook Pro is 220 ppi. If you get acquainted with one of these screens, you
can easily recognize pixel density is lower than mini iPad.
That thing makes Retina war veterans that bought mini iPad
to read book disappointed. Nexus 7 of Google also provides clearer textes with
216 ppi pixel density. (However, the most importnant thing is that in different
areas, lambert, color, contrast, mini iPad’s screen seems to be better than
Nexus 7.
Concurrently, if you begin from iPad 2 or original ipad,
mini’s screen is remarkably better. The reason is that these older iPads
provide 1,024x768-pixel resolution in 9.7-inch screen while smaller tablet has
the number of pixel that is similar to 7.9-inch screen – 163ppi pixel density
of mini is remarkably higher than 132ppi of the old iPads. And it is similar to
every Apple laptops without Retina and iMac.
After testing, we conclude that we like the size and weight
of mini iPad although it doesn’t have Retina screen.
Most of the people in the world have never used Retina
qualitative screen. They are people that Apple is going to sold mini iPad, not
anybody among us who had one or a lot of new iOS equipment.
We think that the most importnant reason that makes Apple
not provide Retina screen to the first generation of mini is compatible ability
with application. Because of technological and practical reason, we don’t think
that Apple should have screen with 2,048x1,536 resolution of big iPad. You
should calculate that the resolution like that and smaller size of mini iPad
will bring the highest pixel density in any products of Apple. However, that is
another solution to make developers care. It means that there are a few of
applications that are optimized to mni iPad availably at the time of releasing,
among them, many applicatons are forced to increase or decrease resolution.
At this time, any iPad application on App Store will work with
mini. More precisely, iPhone applications that are upscaled double will look
like ugly on mini iPad and this thing is alo similar to standard iPad.
Ultra-thin and light
If you get acquainted with reading book on Kindle, mini iad
isn’t as well as light weight of standard Kindle (170 grams); however, 308
grams is light enough to versons of reading book long. After using mini for
some times of reading book in 2 hours, we didn’t have any complaint about
weight or size. It is a good change from reading on standard iPad. In reality,
after using mini in some days, bigger model seems to be cumbersome and heavy.
