iPad is currently the most popular tablet computer on the market. The mainstream iPad screen size is 9.7 inches. However, many people may feel that this size is a bit too large when using it, and it feels inconvenient to hold it in hand. Therefore, Apple In particular, a new size of iPad has been launched, namely iPad mini. iPad mini is much smaller than the iPad, only 7.9 inches. This size is just right for consumers who are not satisfied with the 9.7-inch size. For this reason, iPad mini has also been welcomed by consumers. However, many people can't tell the difference between iPad mini and iPad mini 2 because their shapes are almost the same. So what is the difference between iPad mini 1 and iPad mini 2? Don't worry, let's find out together.

Appearance

Apple iPad mini 2 can be said to have completely inherited the classic design of iPad mini 1. Both the power button and the volume button are Neither the material nor the position has changed at all. The type and location of the data interface has not changed from the iPad mini. The bottom is still a dual-speaker design. It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the two from their appearance. However, iPad mini2 appears to be more "bulky" than iPad mini1, and its thickness is 3 mm larger than iPad mini1. The iPad mini2 with WLAN model is also 23 grams heavier than the iPad mini1.

Performance parameters

The resolution has been increased from 1024×768 pixels to 2048×1536 pixels, which is the same as the previous iPad 4 and new iPad Air, but with a higher pixel density (324ppi) and a greatly improved display effect.

Price

I have to say that the price of mini2 has increased compared to mini1. I don’t know what Apple’s intentions are. In the early days of its launch, the price of iPad mini2 (WLAN, 16G) was 2,888 yuan, while the price of iPad mini1 was only 2,098 yuan. Of course, the launch of mini 2 will inevitably cause the current unofficial price of mini1 to drop a lot. .
