iPad Mini 1

About

Announced in October 2012 and released in November the same year, the iPad Mini 1 was the first in a line of smaller iPads with a 7.9” screen as opposed to the usual 9.7” screen of the larger formats. Apart from screen size, many other features of the iPad Mini 1 were the same as those of the iPad 2, including the enhanced screen resolution. The iPad Mini 1 was introduced before the advent of Apple phablet-style phones (the iPhone Plus family), and offered a usable-sized tablet for people who wanted a larger screen than the current iPhones, but didn’t want to have to carry a full-sized iPad around with them.

Apart from the smaller size (and of course lighter weight and ease of handling), there were other notable differences between the iPad 2 and the iPad Mini 1. Firstly, the iPad Mini 1 was fitted with the then innovative Lightning connector (rather than the standard 30-pin dock connector) for charging and connectivity. The other major difference was in the cameras – the iPad Mini 1 had impressive 5 MP rear-facing and 1.2 MP front-facing cameras, compared to the 0.7MP cameras on the iPad 2.
