iPad mini 4 has a gorgeous 7.9-inch Retina display, yet it's only 5.08mm thin and weighs just 0.65 pounds, making it small enough to hold in one hand. It has a powerful A8 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity,¹ and up to 10 hours of battery life.² It also includes productivity and creativity apps, and powerful features in iOS 9 like multitasking. And there are even more incredible iPad apps available in the App Store.
Upgraded from a mini v1 to this v4 and oh what a difference. I love the mini form factor. My eyes are not so good with small phones and the ipad air is too big. All of the latest IOS 10 features work great on the mini 4 including multitasking. If the mini form factor is your style, you should consider the mini 4 and purchase during one of the many holiday sales. I was able to get the verizon enabled device for less than the wifi only version.
