iPad mini dimensions: 200 x 134.7 x 7.2mm
Naturally, the iPad mini is smaller. Sizing up at 7.2mm thick, this is the most portable and pocketable tablet Apple has ever made and easily puts it in line with the rest of the 7-inch tablet competition. It is 23 per cent thinner than previous generation iPads and, as Apple puts it, as thin as a pencil, which should give you an idea of how easy it will be to fit in your pocket.
iPad mini weight: 308 grams
Not surprisingly the iPad mini is also lighter, so you get an even more portable tablet. At just 308 grams, it is 58 per cent lighter than any other iPad.
iPad mini display resolution: 1024 x 768, 163ppi
No Retina Display to be seen here unfortunately, but you still get 1024 x 768 resolution, which matches up with the screen resolution on the original iPad. This means every app developed for the iPad will run on the tablet.
iPad mini display size and quality: 7.9-inch
The display is 7.9-inch in size, compared to the 9.7-inches of the other iPads. The size difference will be noticeable when held up next to its bigger brother, but you should find more than enough viewing real estate to get the benefits of a tablet.
iPad mini connectivity: Lightning connector
No surprise here then, Apple has used the Lightning connector from the iPhone 5. That means the iPad mini should work with some of the new Apple dock accessories, such as the HDMI out and USB out as well as the SD card reader just announced.
iPad mini processor: A5 chip
The iPad mini draws on the processor from the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, making it a right little powerhouse of a machine. The lack of quad-core should also mean decent battery life.
iPad mini camera: 5-megapixel iSight camera, 1.2-megapixel FaceTime HD
Sitting on the back of the iPad mini is a 5-megapixel camera, with a FaceTime HD camera on the front. The rear iSight camera can shoot 1080p video.
iPad mini battery: 10-hour battery
Inside the iPad mini is a power unit capable of keeping the tablet ticking over for 10 hours of playtime. That all-day battery life is still there, then.
iPad mini accessories: New Smart Cover
The smaller tablet has a new version of the Smart Cover which will wrap all the way around the iPad mini. It comes in a selection of colours and folds so you can stand the iPad mini in landscape mode. There is also a new line of accessories to plug into the tablet's Lightning port, including HDMI out adapters and an SD card reader.
