Comparisons With Other Models
How this model differs from the competition.
The Mini 4 is finally the update the Mini 3 should have been. The anti-reflective laminated display is fantastic for reading. 2GB RAM means apps don't constantly reload.
| Feature | iPad Mini 7.9" 4th Gen (2015) | iPad mini 3 (2014) |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | 2GB | 1GB |
| Display | Laminated | Standard |

The Mini 5 has an identical design but a huge leap in processor power (A12 vs A8). The Mini 5 also supports Apple Pencil, which the Mini 4 does not. If you need performance or the pencil, opt for the Mini 5.
