iPad mini 4
Power that’s anything but mini.
The heart of iPad mini 4 is our A8 chip with second-generation 64-bit desktop class architecture. Its astounding performance makes everything from editing a movie to playing 3D games smooth and effortless. And with up to 10 hours of battery life, iPad mini 4 gives you plenty of time to study, play, or create whatever you want, wherever you want.*
Small in size. Big on performance.
The A8 chip gives iPad mini 4 incredible capabilities you can take with you anywhere. With 64‑bit desktop‑class architecture, the A8 delivers speed and responsiveness that rival many personal computers and game consoles.

64-bitarchitectureA8chipM8motion coprocessor30 percent faster CPU performance.
Compared with the A7 chip in the previous iPad mini, the A8 chip delivers up to 30 percent faster CPU performance. From launching apps to playing games, everything is more fluid and responsive. And all your actions — swiping, pinching, zooming, scrolling, and rotating — happen quickly and smoothly.
Remarkable graphics performance.
The A8 chip has an astonishing 60 percent faster graphics performance than the A7 chip. So iPad mini 4 boasts graphics once possible only on desktop computers and gaming consoles. Graphics-intensive games and video editing apps run superbly, and they look gorgeous on the beautiful Retina display.
Metal. A real game changer.
To get the greatest graphics performance out of the A8 chip and iOS, iPad mini 4 takes advantage of Metal — an Apple technology that lets developers design highly immersive console-style games. Metal is optimized to allow the CPU and GPU to work together to deliver detailed graphics and complex visual effects. So every imaginary world feels more realistic.
Work faster. Play harder.
Everything runs better on iPad mini 4. And thanks to the A8 chip, graphics‑intensive apps are, well, intense. Video editing, modeling and design apps, and games — especially games — come to life, with incredible responsiveness, fluid motion, and fleet performance quality.
Graphics-intensive apps
Draw, sketch, rotate, resize — all in real time. The A8 chip is powerful enough to make it as easy as swiping, tapping, and pinching.
