iPad Mini 3 vs iPad Mini 4

Upgrading from the iPad mini 3 to an iPad mini 4 is a year-over-year upgrade, with the mini 3 arriving in October 2014 and the mini 4 arriving in September 2015. These two models share the same exterior design and are available in Silver, Space Gray, and Gold. They also share many of the same hardware features. Both models allow for up to 128GB of storage space, use a Lightning connector for charging, a physical home button for Touch ID, and are compatible with standard Bluetooth keyboards. The key differences include a bump from the Apple A7 chip in the iPad mini 3 to the Apple A8 chip in the iPad mini 4, and going from a 5MP wide camera to an 8MP wide camera in the mini 4. Both models also have a 7.9” display with a 2048 x 1536 resolution, but the iPad mini 4 has a fully laminated display with an anti-reflective coating.
