Apple iPad 9.7-Inch & Price in Nigeria

Apple iPad Mini & Price in Nigeria

The iPad Mini is clearly the best smaller tablet Apple has ever manufactured. Since the introduction of the iPad Mini some years back, there have been visible advancements and the latest Mini 4 shows this.

If you are torn between the big and smaller models, the main thing to know about the mini series is that they are a set of tablets that can actually slot into the pocket. Not easily, definitely, but they will slip easily into a jacket. The design of the iPad mini 4 comes with little surprise to most, as it is still borrows the same design language from the original iPad mini.

The latest version still features the same plunging curved edges, and the ceramic-like cover of the tablet feels excellent in the hand. The rest of the tablet is pretty much as expected, with only the silencer switch absent. This has been slowly eliminated from most of Apple’s gadgets of late.
