Apple Releases iPad Mini

Next up is the processor, Apple have decided to go with the older generation Dual-core A5 which is half the speed of the Nexus 7 and also missing the graphics chip which you can find in the iPad 3. Add these glaring omissions to the bizarre 4:3 screen ratio and you have a questionable product at best. The one saving grace of Apple’s newest tablet in comparison to their competitors has to be the slightly larger screen, if you choose an iPad Mini over a Nexus 7, you will end up getting 0.9″ more of a screen.
Probably the biggest shock of the event had to be the price, the cheapest option is their entry 16gb model – this will set you back £369…this is £100 more than the Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7. So given all this…will it be a success – ofcourse it will. Apple have built what is one of the best fan bases on the planet and they will be buying it regardless. If you’re in the market for a 7″ tablet, my personal recommendation has to go to the Nexus 7.
