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.

Record HD video in full 1080p.

An impromptu performance on the subway, the winning shot at
your daughter’s soccer game, an awesome 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 stabilization, 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 frameworthy. 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.”

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 (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 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 cellular connectivity — up to LTE.

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
ultrafast cellular network connections around the world — including LTE⁷ and
other 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

iOS

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 right out of the box, you get more than 200 new features
to make the things you do every day even better.

iCloud

Your content. On all your devices.

iCloud is built right 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.⁹ 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 device using iCloud
Tabs. And that’s just for starters. 

Print via AirPrint.

Print right 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.



Lightning connector. Smaller. Smarter. Durable. Reversible.



A new way to get connected.



iPad mini is so thin and light, it requires an ultraslim 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).
