iPad mini wouldn’t be an iPad without incredible battery life. Even with so much performance packed into such a small space, it still lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge.5 So you can read, watch, play, write and create whatever you want, as long as you want.

FaceTime and iSight cameras. With two built-in cameras, every side is its good side.

Record HD video in full 1080p.

An impromptu performance on the train, the winning goal at your son’s football match, an amazing 360-degree view from the top of the mountain — the iSight camera on iPad mini lets you capture all these unpredictable, beautiful, spectacular moments.

Lightning connector. Smaller. Smarter. Durable. Reversible.

A new way to get connected.

iPad mini is so thin and light, it requires an ultra-slim connector. It’s called the Lightning connector, and it features an all-digital, eight-signal design that’s significantly more durable than the 30-pin connector. Another brilliant feature of Lightning: it’s reversible. Which means there’s no wrong way to plug in the cable.

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter.

If you have an iPad accessory that depends on the 30-pin connector, you can still connect it to your iPad mini. Simply use a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (sold separately).
