In the early morning hours of 23 october 2013, beijing time, apple officially launched the latest ipad air and ipad mini generations. While all the products of the launch were expected, some surprises came to users after the release。

As anecdotally reported, the new generation of retina ipad mini has a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, four times the previous generation of ipad mini, pixel 326ppi, which is difficult to identify, with visible angles and finer clarity, more sophisticated, lively and clear. More importantly, the screen upgrade, which increased battery capacity from 16. 7 whr to 23. 8 whr, did not add thickness and weight, and the whole machine remained light, only 7. 5 mm thick and 331 g heavy。

Retina ipad mini carries directly 64-bit a7 processors of the same type as iphone 5s, skips the transition phase of a6, indicating that apples are determined to start from the 64-bit calculation of desktop-level performance and to deploy m7 co-processors。
Lighter, thinner ipad air
The new generation of 9. 7-inch ipad, which uses a narrow border design similar to ipad mini, is called ipad air because the body is thinner and lighter and the overall size is reduced by 24 per cent. In thickness, the new ipad air decreased by 20 per cent from ipad 4 to only 7. 5 mm, weighing one pound (standard 469g, 4g version 478g, previous generation 1. 4 lb), with a narrower border of 28 per cent (169. 84mm, previous generation 18580 mm) and a reduced body length from 241. 3 mm in the fourth generation to 240 mm. The front cameras, lock switches, headset interfaces, microphones, etc. Will remain the same. The ipad air is indeed the most varied ipad update。

Apple claims that the ipad series has sold 170 million units to date, leading the way, with 81 per cent of the market share and more than 475,000 ipad applications. Each of the ipad air's millimeters is carefully weighed, and the frame and thickness are reduced to make the user more comfortable to hold the equipment for long periods of time, with a better sense of hand, and when he holds the ipad air, anyone can feel a clear change。
Unfortunately, the ipad air home key does not integrate fingerprint sensors, i. E. The ipad air does not function as an iphone 5s killer, nor is the home key design similar to the iphone 5s, which is not flat, nor does it contain a metal ring outside。
