Small. Fast. Incredibly Capable.
The iPad mini 3 has a stunning 7.9-inch Retina display, an incredibly powerful A7 chip, advanced wireless technologies, and Touch ID. Any way you look at it, iPad mini 3 is pretty amazing, yet still thin and light. So while you can do even more, you won’t feel like you’re holding any more.
Compared with iPad mini 2, the iPad mini 3 has the same internals and dimensions, but includes the Touch ID and a new gold finish option. So there’s even more about iPad mini to love.
Security based on a one-of-a-kind design:
your fingerprint.
iPad mini 3 comes with our breakthrough Touch ID technology. It gives you an unprecedented level of security because it uses nature’s most perfect password: your fingerprint. So with just one touch, you can instantly unlock your iPad mini. But Touch ID goes beyond that. You can also make secure purchases in iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store. And with Apple Pay, you can unlock an entire world of online shopping that’s fast, convenient, and secure.
Desktop-class architecture.
No desktop required.
Don’t let its size fool you. iPad mini 3 is powered by an A7 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture. A7 delivers amazing processing power without sacrificing battery life. So you get incredible performance in a device you can take with you wherever you go.
FaceTime HD and iSight cameras.
So many reasons to smile.
Want to shoot video and photos that are unbelievably crisp, clear, and vibrant? iPad mini 3 has everything you need, such as features like panorama and Time-lapse mode, to capture stills and videos that are as memorable as the moments themselves. Even better, you also get this same great picture quality when making video calls.
Advanced wireless.
Do more in more places.
iPad mini 3 keeps you connected faster than ever. In more locations than ever. Two antennas and MIMO technology give iPad mini incredible Wi-Fi performance. And the Wi-Fi + Cellular model supports fast cellular networks around the world — including LTE networks. So you can download content, stream video, browse the web, and share documents with AirDrop at amazing speeds.
Apps designed for iPad.
And everything you want to do with it.
iPad mini 3 comes with powerful apps for the things you do every day, like surfing the web, checking email, editing movies and photos, writing reports, and reading books. And there are hundreds of thousands of apps on the App Store, each designed specifically for the large Retina display (instead of stretched-out phone apps).
