iPad Mini Versus The Apple iPad: Make Your Choice By Noting The Differences

English: The iPad on a table in the Apple case

Justin Bieber. You either love him or you hate him. But either way, you’ve certainly noticed the bit of eye candy in his grip: an Apple iPad, according to Forbes Magazine. While this might not raise your expectations of Justin Bieber, you definitely may be thinking about the new iPads that have hit store shelves. Apple has rolled out two: iPad 4 (with Retina screen) and the iPad Mini. Both have all the cool little app knickknacks and camera/video functions. But for people trying to decide which one to get before taking their old tablets to the local pawnshop, hoping to be the next loony customer like one of those in the Pawn Stars TV shows, it’s best to look at the differences to sway your decision.  Let’s look at the iPad Mini Versus The Apple iPad and see if we can help you make a tough decision!

iPad Mini Versus The Apple iPad: Make Your Choice By Noting The Differences

Difference #1: Size May Matter

We claim it doesn’t, but it really does make a difference. For people who don’t mind a little extra weight to carry, the Apple iPad comes in at almost 1.44 pounds and almost 10 inches. The much lighter iPad mini is so small you can fit it in your pocket as it is 0.68 pounds and almost 8 inches.

The display size can make all the difference for you, with a larger display being easier to browse the web, and read e-books and magazines.

Difference #2: What You See Is What You Get In A Display

Since an iPad Mini is smaller and lighter, it doesn’t have as good as a display as a regular Apple iPad. An iPad Mini has a 1024 x 768 pixels while the iPad has 2048 x 1436 pixels. So display quality is better for the Apple iPad than the iPad Mini.  This is something to consider when it comes to watching video content and viewing crisp, clear images.

Difference #3: Performance and Price Has The Final Say

Other differences between these two iPads are the performance and the price. The iPad Mini comes in at a $329 with an older A5 processor, surprising when so many times people are looking for higher performance in newer models. The Apple iPad costs more at $499, but has a faster A6 processor.

So whichever one you ultimately decide on, keep these differences in mind during your purchase.  And stop by Boca Raton Pawn for a great selection of Apple products!
