New and old iPad mini. The new one is at the top. The difference you see is due to the last test product also has 4G support. Otherwise they are identical. Photo: Finn Jarle Kvalheim, Amobil.no 
the bottom of the iPad mini can You Lightning connector, and a powerful set of speakers. Photo: Finn Jarle Kvalheim, Amobil.no It’s about a year since the original iPad mini model came on the market. At that time, the inferior the big issue at most show – it was primarily the size that was beneficial. Now the new iPad mini on the market. It changes the relative strength of the series drastically.
The new iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina display parts namely the specification and thus retain mini-model only little brother status in size.
For those who know the iPad mini before, there is little new to report about from the outside of the board – at least until we turn it on. The design is quite similar to the one we know from the previous generation, which is still on sale as a cheaper version.
Stylish design
As usual in Apple-land is the minimalism that apply. There are no large, variegated antics, just a simple unibody construction in aluminum, with the name and the usual, stylized apple printed on the back.
That board is built in one large piece of aluminum, making it feel very sturdy compared to many of the other portable tablets on the market. The issue we test the variant with 4G, and thus terminated the aluminum cover on the top, to the benefit of a small plastic field. It’s hard to get great mobile coverage through a thick aluminum cover, so it is behind the plastic field antennas hiding.
bottom of the board has a set of powerful speakers, and Apple’s own Lightning connector for charging. On the upper right side you will find those buttons – volume keys, a slide switch, and is on top a lock key.
Turn it on and see the difference
There is of course the screen is the most visible evidence that something has happened recently. Gone is the old, low-resolution screen with 1024 x 768 pixels. Here is the Retina display with 2048 x 1536 pixels. This means that pixel density has gone from 164 to 324 pixels per inch. It marked.
The original iPad mini model had a relatively good display to have such a low resolution that it had. It did also a decent compromise for people who have more use for a tablet on the go than the sofa.
When we measure the monitor’s color reproduction we discover, however, that both the original iPad mini model, and LG’s far less expensive G Pad shows considerably more accurate colors than the new iPad Mini with Retina display. LG tray is somewhat less bright than the two iPad models.
You see the results of all measurements display in the photo gallery on page three of the test
you first noticed the pixels …
The new Retina display gives you cake and eat it, and you will hardly miss the old iPad mini screen. I love high-resolution screens, but let strictly speaking never really notice the low resolution of the previous generation iPad mini.

On the right long side you will find buttons volume, and a sliding switch to turn on and off screen rotation. Lock key is as common on the upper short side. It was after all only a short time ago the same resolution had worked just fine on 10-Tommern the iPad series. However, with the two boards side by side, it seems almost impossible to go back to IgE generation without fretted over the grid and the visible pixels of the screen on the previous generation.
screen otherwise perceived as bright and good, with good viewing angle from all directions. The fact that the colors are not as appropriate as on LG’s tablet was not noticeable during practical use, before we got the two screens side by side.

We have already had several opportunities to become acquainted with the new iOS 7 The operating system has undergone its biggest change since it was first released and it is only occasionally recognizable if you compare with the previous editions.
the new menus are faux leather and wood completely gone. It is not 3D perspective on the icons anymore. Instead icons flat, stylized symbols. It looks modern and fresh out, and works well.
iOS 7 dress big screen
Some allow ourselves irritate that electronics manufacturers not taking advantage of increased screen resolution or good enough. In a way, Apple also goes in this trap, by not having more icons on the screen of an iPad than on a tiny iPhone screen. Nonetheless, we believe that iOS 7 server on the extra air in the menus.
Use wise, the new iPad mini is still a pleasure. Almost all on-screen action happening at lightning speed. The only exception is the keyboard, which sometimes takes a little time when you activate it.
Most of this is intuitive and easy to use. One part of iOS that were particularly affected by the transition to iOS 7 is setting menu. It used to be neat and simple but has gradually become more cluttered as Apple began adding more features into its operating system. We will not say it is difficult to use, but it had enough earned an overhaul next time Apple makes changes.
Approaching Android
All electronics manufacturers steal a little of each other, and over the years, Apple has approached the Android universe in some areas. The company introduced a drop down menu for notifications, all in the previous version of iOS, and also this has been an update in iOS 7
place to cover some of the screen covering the now full. It provides information about calendar events and new alerts that have come. It also provides weather information for your area, if you have enabled Location Services in the tablet.
Unlike what we know from Android’s drop-down menu in iOS hidden during normal use. You pick it up by swiping your finger down from the top of the screen. When it pops up a small arrow that allows you to pull down the rest of the menu.
Quick Settings at the bottom
Apple has split up menu, just as Google has Android which runs on the tablet. The phones have notoriously Android both notifications and settings from the menu.
Quick Settings you can now reach by swiping up from the bottom of the tablet. Here’s a small menu, which covers the most important settings you need, such as brightness, airplane mode and volume level. This is also where you enable AirPlay easiest if you use Apple’s wireless technology flow.

Greatly improved app switching
The way you switch between apps is also updated. Previously, two taps on the home button will give you a narrow strip at the bottom, with a number of icons for apps that ran. Beyond this, did you get any indication of what is hidden behind the app icons.
Now you get a delicious preview of what lies behind the icons, and it is much easier to quit every running app, you swipe only preview up, then it ended. Again similar to the solution much on what we know from Android, but here Apple has made some more beautiful view, in our opinion.
