Questions tagged [ipad-mini]

The iPad Mini refers to the iPad models with a 7.9-inch (diagonal) LED display. Questions that are not dependent on hardware should use the iOS tag instead.

The iPad Mini announced on 10/23/2012 was the first iPad with a 7.9-inch (diagonal) LED display.

iPad Mini features a 1024-by-768 resolution at 163 pixels per inch (ppi) allowing applications originally designed for iPad 1 and 2 to work and be scaled properly without any changes being made to the applications.

Available models include 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, in a choice of black or white.

Cellular carrier options in the United States include AT&T, Verizon Wireless and Spring.

Only use if you have problems with the hardware itself. For questions related to larger iPad models use .

Later models

  • The iPad Mini 2 uses a retina screen with a resolution of 2048 x 1536.

  • The iPad Mini 3 is like the Mini 2 but with a Touch Id fingerprint scanner.
