IN THE EVENT YOU Upgrade to iPad Air?Posted by Hale Wren on May 19th, 2021 This year is apparently lots of changes when it comes to Apple that has launched the latest tablet the iPad Air. This is what makes it difficult for most of the Apple fans to decide which one to choose. iPad Air is sleek and slimmer while iPad Mini has Retina Display but thicker in chassis. Some things like 10 hour battery juice might have you wondering which one is way better other activities like similar camera and same color options are enough to confuse any user. Why don't we compare and contrast both of these tablets and discover how one is better than another on various criteria. Hardware The iPad Air is bigger 20% percent and wider by 26%. This surely puts this latest iPad right into a fully blown tablet that is bigger than its predecessor. The look is a major overhaul also it seems that Apple has changed a lot. However when it comes to the thickness it appears that both are the same at 7.5mm. The weight of iPad Air is heavier with 42% this does is apparently some drastic change. It looks like 469 grams vs. 331 grams. The build of both the tablets is anodized aluminum finish, both might seem similar. get more info is related to the color options both can be purchased in gray and black hues alongside silver or white options. Display The iPad mini offers you 65 percent as much screen area as the iPad Air The big news this is actually the iPad mini's Retina Display. It now packs as many pixels as the larger iPad Air, which means it has a much higher pixel density. With regards to overall screen size, the story is the same as last year. The iPad mini gives you 65 percent as much screen area as the iPad Air does. System on a chip Both tablets appear to be faster than the previous versions sporting A6X that was last year, this year both sport 64-bit A7 chip. That is however like the iPhone 5S. Nothing more could be said about it except they run faster than their predecessors. Motion coprocessor and Storage There is almost no difference with regards to motion coprocessor as both tablets sport M7 motion coprocessor that's already within iPhone 5S. This is simply not much of a great difference in terms of tablet but including this technology in iPad is something that Apple has done different. However this does is important on increasing the battery life as it is with the capacity of saving battery. Both tablets are even in terms of storage capacity with 128GB option. Apple sure have not done anything different with the most recent iPad in terms of storage capacity. Conclusion If you thought that you would choose iPad Mini then reconsider. Had it not been the cost of the iPad at 0 then it might have already been the winner. However, the hike in price and the compact built of the iPad makes it look smaller against iPad Air. So, here it becomes obvious that should you are choosing to switch or go for iPad Air you then might as well as it is bigger and better, of course if you are not really much into the Retina display you then might give this new version a miss.Like it?
