Details:
Put the power of a PC in the palm of your hand with the Apple iPad Mini 4 Tablet. With iPad OS Operating System, Apple A8 processor, and 1.3 GHz processing speeds, this tablet has the power to handle just about any job.

The 7.9-inch, 2048 x 1536 Retina resolution screen displays your videos, emails, browser, and more, in perfect clarity, while the multitouch feature allows you to navigate with the touch of a finger.

Take pictures or record video in HD with the 8 MP Camera. 64 GB integrated storage provides the space you need to save all your pictures, videos, games, and more. With hundreds of thousands of apps to choose from, the iPad Mini 4 will always keep you entertained.

Stay connected from anywhere with the standard 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, optional cellular, and Bluetooth 4.2. And with a 10 hour battery life and simple USB charger, the iPad Mini 4 ensures you never have to worry about running out of power.

The mini 4 features Apple's A8 processor with their 2nd Generation 64-bit architecture, allowing for more robust and powerful apps such as video editing, 3D modeling and CAD, and 3D gaming. Also, the A8 chip supports Metal, a more efficient technology that enables the iPad mini to render detailed graphics and visual effects.

Accompanied by the A8 chip is the M8 motion coprocessor, which measures the motion of the iPad mini via the accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and barometer, lightening the load of the A8 chip. This frees up the A8 chip to process multiple tasks while enabling it to maintain fast performance.

The iPad mini comes with iOS and Touch ID. Designed for the iPad, iOS features News, enhanced multitasking, a shortcut bar, editing tools, updated multi-touch gestures, and more. Touch ID uses your fingerprint to unlock your device as well as make secure purchases in iTunes, iBooks, the App Store, and via Apple Pay.

Retina Display
The Retina Display of the iPad mini 4 has been designed with all components combined into one layer. This helps eliminate gaps between layers, as well as the internal reflectance caused by those gaps.

The fully laminated display also features a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating to reduce smudges and an anti-reflective coating that helps reduce glare by up to 56% over previous iPad models.

8-Megapixel iSight Camera
The f/2.4 iSight camera has been re-designed with an 8-megapixel sensor which can capture 1080p HD video. The image signal processor in the A8 chip also features improved face-detection technology to keep more - and smaller - faces in focus as well as improved noise reduction. The camera also features time-lapse video, exposure control, 120 fps slo-mo, a burst mode, a timer mode, and a high-resolution panorama mode

iMessage
Having a conversation with friends and family who don't use an iPhone is easy. That's because you can send and receive SMS and MMS text messages with not just your iPhone, but also your iPad and even your Mac.

Siri
Siri lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, check the latest scores, and more. Ask Siri to complete tasks just by holding down the Home button and talking. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean and even responds to you

History:
The iPad Mini 4 is the fourth-generation iPad Mini tablet computer designed, developed and marketed by Apple. It was announced along with the iPad Pro on September 9, 2015. It features most of the hardware similar to the iPad Air 2 including its laminated display and design.

The iPad Mini 4 was the first major redesign of the iPad Mini line, with a slightly taller and wider body (though with no increase in screen size) compared to the iPad Mini 2 and Mini 3. There is also a much thinner design, with the device mirroring the depth of the iPad Air 2 at 6.1 millimeters. This device is also lighter than the previous generation by 33.2 grams.

As with the iPad Mini 3, the iPad Mini 4 is available in three colors: Space Gray, Silver, and Gold. As with its predecessor, the iPad Mini 4 was available with storage options of 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB.

The iPad Mini 4 display features much improved color accuracy due to the increase to 101% sRGB Color Gamut. Like the iPad Mini 3 that came before it, the iPad Mini 4 is capable of making mobile payments via Apple Pay in combination with the Touch ID sensor.

The iPad mini 4 received 6 OS updates, taking it from iOS 9 to iPad OS 15.
Supported OS versions: iOS 9, iOS 10, iOS 11, iOS 12, iPadOS 13, iPadOS 14, and iPadOS 15.
