Having studied all the iPad models and their characteristics, you can understand how the technology for creating tablet PCs developed and progressed from 2010 to our time.

After all, these famous gadgets and a few years ago, and now are equipped with the most modern parts. And on them you can see the development.

Moreover, some analysts suggest that it is the “ipads” that over time will be the first to displace a significant part of desktop computers from the market, surpassing them, if not in power, then at least in mobility and ease of use.

iPad 1

The first iPad appeared on sale in 2010 and became a truly revolutionary gadget that received many technologies that other tablet PCs did not have at that time - the IPS display and the powerful Apple A4 GHz processor.

High speed, an almost 10-inch screen and a capacious 6667 mAh battery have made iPad 1 popular.

However, it was still just an experimental model, with a number of shortcomings and shortcomings.

Among the minuses of the device, relatively short work on a single charge was called - even such a battery was not enough for a large display and the resource-intensive iOS operating system.

In addition, the “iPad” was rather thick by the standards of other tablets and was not equipped with a camera, because of which it could not be used for video chatting.

But his body got rounded edges and stylish volume control buttons on the right side.

An original decision of the developers was also a button for switching the lock modes and screen orientation, when turned on, it turns green.

Another impressive feature is the tablet’s internal memory, with a maximum capacity of 64 GB.

Although the rather modest parameters of RAM did not allow installing more modern versions on the tablet.

Technical specifications:

• screen size: 9.7 inches;
• resolution: 768 x 1024;
• processor: single core, 1000 MHz;
• cameras: none;
• memory capacity: 256 MB of RAM and from 16 to 64 GB of internal memory;
• battery capacity: 6667 mAh.

iPad 2

The next generation iPad, which appeared in 2011, turned out to be more advanced and had much less flaws.

First of all, this concerned the increase in RAM up to 512 MB - it is enough to launch modern applications and install new operating systems.

In addition, the model received two cameras at once - the main one at 0.69 megapixels. and frontal with a resolution (640 x 480), a gyroscope and a dual-core processor.

Most other characteristics, except for a more powerful processor, remained at the same level. Visually, the gadget was distinguished by the edging of the Home button, matching the hue with the body.

Tablet Options:

• screen: 1536х2048 pixels, 7.9 inches;
• chipset: 2 cores, 1300 MHz;
• cameras: 5 and 1.2 megapixels .;
• memory: RAM - 1 GB, ROM - 16, 64 and 128 GB;
• battery capacity: 6471 mAh.

Another plus is the most affordable cost in the entire history of the series. The basic version of the model can be purchased for only $ 329.

At the same time, decent capabilities and quite affordable cost allow gadgets to compete well with top versions of other manufacturers.

And not only among fans of Apple products, but also among users who prefer high performance and modern technology.

Mini iPad has not been updated for a long time. The last upgrade with him happened in 2015. He came out in September. Many are waiting for the release of the new iPad mini 5 this spring. But this is not confirmed and is only a rumor. It is known that in the spring of 2017, Apple is going to release three new iPad. Will there be a Mini among them and what it will be remains a mystery.

When will the ipad mini come out new? As a rule, Apple introduces new products to the world in spring or autumn. Therefore, if the appearance of the 5 Mini comes to life, then somewhere around this time. On the Internet you can find a lot of different information about what upgrades the tablet will undergo. But all this information is based on rumors and assumptions. Because no official statements have been received yet.

Specifications

It is believed that the new product will be equipped with an A9 processor with 64-bit architecture. This processor was created using FinFET technology and has a frequency of 1.8 GHz. An M9 coprocessor will be installed to help. This will increase the productivity level up to 70% and improve the graphics of images up to 90%.

Energy consumption will be reduced by 35% when compared with the previous tablet. RAM will remain unchanged - 2 GB. Volumes of internal accumulation will be 32, 64, 128 and 256 GB. The amount of internal memory of 16 GB is a thing of the past. This innovation affected not only the iPhone, but also tablets. Indeed, this capacity can no longer cope with the volumes of information that are currently in use. The device will receive a Retina display, which will improve the brightness and contrast of the transmitted images. The screen size will be 7.9 inches with 2048 × 1536 resolution.

There will be anti-reflective coating of the display and oleophobic coating. The first will help to comfortably use the tablet in various conditions, and the second will protect the screen from fingerprints and other dirt. The external screen design will remain the same, so do not wait for the framework to leave. This also suggests that a coordinated change in design is also not to be expected.

The 3D touch screen, which has a high pressure sensitivity used in the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus models, will not be applicable to the line of tablets yet. But perhaps this is only a matter of time. There is information that the case can be equipped with waterproof and dustproof protection. Water protection will go according to IP68 certificate. If such an innovation really comes true, then the iPad 5 Mini will be the first waterproof tablet.

Touch ID will be installed both on the sixth iPhone, the second generation. Perhaps the 3.5 mm jack will be removed in order to make the device even thinner, or maybe left. Subtlety will add more comfort in use and will make the device even more attractive.

There is an assumption that the case will be made of aluminum, like the iPhone 6S. The quality of the 7000 series will make the case durable and protect the new product from damage if it becomes thinner. Reducing the thickness may affect the capacity of the lithium polymer battery. There is information that the thickness of the tablet will become even less by 1 mm and will be 5 mm. The firmware version is likely to be 10.

Upgrade the number of speakers will not happen. There will be one, as before. Do not touch the change buttons. This will even touch the Home key. Perhaps a new body color will appear. The 4th comes in a range of colors: silver, gold and gray space. Rose Gold has long been loved by fans and is being introduced everywhere. Therefore, it is logical to expect its appearance in the Mini-line.

It is assumed that the capacity of the built-in battery will be increased and the tablet will be able to actively work through Wi-Fi for up to twelve hours. The “fast charge” function will be available. The fifth mini will delight the new camera with six lenses of 12 megapixels. Aperture 2.0 allows you to shoot in low light environments. Due to the greater aperture.

Shooting a video will be even better, because now it can be done in 4K format. The selfie camera will have 5 megapixels. This will improve picture transmission when communicating via Skype. Although there are sources that claim that the main camera will remain at its 8 megapixels as before, and the front camera is 1.2 megapixels. Hopefully, change will come about.

Along with the release of the tablet, an updated Apple Pencil stylus may appear. This device is rumored to have a magnet for attaching to the gadget. Get a wider range of opportunities in working with applications.

There is no exact information about what changes will occur and whether they will occur. There were no official statements from the company yet. Therefore, it's too early to talk about the release date of the iPad Mini 5.

If you are faced with the choice to buy now or wait for the release of a new gadget, then you should wait for the release. After all, spring is just around the corner. But if you do not need a tablet for idle purposes, then Apple offers a wide selection of tablets, among which you can choose the most suitable one for yourself. You can adjust the price by taking a device with a smaller amount of internal memory.

Of course, you can consider waiting as an assistant. During this time, you will have the opportunity to postpone some amount for the purchase of the device. And with the release of the new model, as a rule, prices for predecessors are slightly reduced. And with the release, you will already be sure of the changes or their absence in the tablet.

This was leaked to Apple by one of Apple's resellers.

Starting with the first generation iPad mini, Apple's miniature tablets use weakened hardware compared to their older counterparts. And here are the two main reasons why the 5th generation iPad mini can be built on the basis of the Pro 9.7 ″.

The first argument - the processor depends on the generation of the iPhone

The entire line of "minics" uses Apple AX processors. Such "iron" is installed in iPhones.

For example, iPad mini - A5 processor from iPad 2 / iPhone 4s, iPad mini 2 - A7 processor from iPad Air / iPhone 5s, iPad mini 4 - A8 processor from iPhone 6 (in Air 2 - A8X).

Accordingly, each tablet corresponds to its own generation of smartphones, although the release dates vary. "Mini" come later iPhones. In this case, the iPad mini 5 should get hardware from the iPhone 6s, but not from the "seven". Cupertinos do not insert processors from their top-end smartphones into new mini-tablets.

If we take the 6s generation, we still have the A9 processor, which is used in the iPad Pro 9.7 ″.

The second argument - model numbers make sense and release order

We draw a certain parallel. iPad mini 2 corresponds to the base of iPad Air and has model numbers A1490, A1489, A1491; Air has A1474, A1475.

Next comes the iPad mini 4 with numbers A1538 and A1550, it is assembled on the basis of the iPad Air 2 with numbers A1566 and A1567. Thus, the numbers are approximately in the same range and have slight differences among themselves.

the iPad Pro 12.9 ″ is numbered A1584 and A1652, while the iPad Pro 9.7 ″ is A1673 and A1674. It is expected that the numbers A1671 and A1670 will belong to the fifth generation iPad mini, which means they converge with the base of a 9.7-inch tablet.

What to expect from the iPad mini 5

This is a minor line of tablets, limited in its functions. However, a new generation can get a True Tone display and Apple Pencil support. Accordingly, an improved camera and A9 processor, which will serve the owners for another 5 years.

The wait is not long. The presentation of new products at WWDC 2017 starts today at 20:00 Moscow time.

Rate it.

A long time ago, Apple did not update its smallest iPad. The last time the minicar was released in 2015 and has not been updated since. Already sad. After all, this device has not a small demand among users who love mobility and compactness. Today, a lot of people are waiting for the iPad mini 5, because the predecessor is already outdated, and the new software requires modern hardware. In addition, the new iPad mini 5 can get fresh solutions for modern tasks. So, let's see if the iPad mini 5 will be and when the iPad mini 5 will be released, and what will be new in the updated version of the minicar.

IPad mini 5 review

Let's start the review of the iPad mini 5 with iron.

Performance

iPad mini 5 will get an A9 processor with 64-bit architecture and an M9 coprocessor. Apple A9 is made according to the 14-nm process technology using FinFET and has a 1.8 GHz frequency. The new processor will provide 70% higher performance and 90% better graphics. And energy consumption will be reduced by 35% compared to its predecessor. So, iPad mini 5 will be faster and longer than. RAM iPad mini 5 will remain 2 GB, as in mini 4. Its memory iPad mini 5 will have 32, 128 and 256 GB, depending on the selected configuration.

Now let's talk about the iPad mini 5 display.

Display

iPad mini 5 will receive a new super-contrast and bright retina-display of 7.9 inches with a resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels. The display has 326 ppi, anti-reflective coating for better visibility under the sun and an oleophobic coating for less fingerprints. The display of the new iPad mini 5 will be 25% brighter and support a wider range of colors than its predecessor. The design of the device will remain the same, so you should not wait for a frameless display.

Connectors, Buttons and Speakers

iPad mini 5 will have a super fast Touch ID of the second generation, like u.

The 3.5mm audio jack may go away, as is the case with, to make the iPad mini 5 thinner. It is likely that Apple will want to make the iPad mini 5 even thinner in order to win the title of the thinnest tablet in the industry again, as it once was with. To the same thin mini will look better and more comfortable to hold in your hands.

There will be one speaker in the iPad mini 5. Stereo is not waiting. There is an iPad Pro for this. By the way, it will be released soon, too. Therefore, it is worth considering what is better to take.

The buttons will remain all in place, nothing will be removed. The volume rocker and the “Power” will be, as before, in their places. The Home button will remain a button and cardinal changes, as in the iPhone 7 will not tolerate.

Design

iPad mini 5 is likely to remain in its previous design, but it can get a new color in its lineup. The color pink gold has long been introduced in all Apple products from the iPhone 6S, Macbook 2016 and ending with the iPhone SE and iPad Pro. Therefore, it is likely that the fifth mini will also receive the color pink gold.

Battery

The new iPad mini 5 will be equipped with a new tenacious battery that can provide the tablet up to 12 hours of use in Wi-Fi mode. Also, there will be support for the quick charge function. Wireless charging is not expected.

Camera

The iPad mini 5 camera will receive 12 megapixels and a system of 6 lenses. Improved shooting in low light with f / 2.0 aperture. 4K video recording. The front camera can get 5 MP, as in the iPhone 6S. All the same, the tablet is also a comfortable device for Skype, so the front camera in the iPad mini 5 should be of good quality.
