The iPad Mini Challenge
When you have a mini me, most likely that version will not include every aspect of your personality because of size limitation. As your smaller replica, it has to compromise on something.

A snack-size Tootsie Roll is missing a whole lot of chocolate and an Apple iPad mini is expected to have a lower quality screen resolution and slower performance. Fortunately, it appears that it is not always the case.

Apple's new iPad Mini, which starts at US$ 399 and became available in the Philippines this month, has virtually the same specs as its big brother, the full-size iPad Air. Both tablets offer the same head-turning Retina display with a super sharp screen resolution. They also have the same new chip for faster processing and improved graphics performance.

Further examination will also show that both Apple product have better technology for connecting to Wi-Fi or cellular networks and both have improved front-facing cameras that work better in low light.

The only option left for the consumer on what gadget to choose is whether they prefer, the 9.7-inch iPad Air or the 7.9-inch iPad Mini with Retina display, without compromising.

There are some independent, but unverified, reports that the miniature iPad’s battery lasted for 11 hours and 17 minutes, which is longer than the company’s initial estimate of 10 hours maximum.

The iPad Mini with Retina display is already the second iteration of the iPad Mini. The first version, which came out about a year ago, has now dropped its price and is only available in a 16-gigabyte model. The one with Wi-Fi features costs US$ 299, while the version with Wi-Fi and cellular features is being retailed at US$ 429.

Apple also included its A7 chip in the new iPad Mini, an addition that gives the tablet a processor that's four times as fast as its predecessor and graphics that are eight times as fast. It zipped from one screen to the next, downloading apps and movies much faster than previous iterations of the iPad.
