Apple recently started selling the new iPad Mini. Somehow they were able to squeeze all of the Air’s capabilities into the Mini, and by doing so, Apple has made the process of choosing iPads easy. Both the Mini and Air have a high-resolution screen branded retina. The batteries in the devices can easily last up to 10 hours under intense use. The only difference is in size; Mini’s screen is 7.9 inches diagonal while Air is 9.7 inches. The iPad Mini is a lot lighter and comfortable in the hand. On top of that, it is $100 cheaper in all configurations. So how do we choose between the two tablets? To decide, we should weigh our options. For entertainment purposes, like watching movies and playing games, get the iPad Mini. However if it is for work purposes, like typing, then consider getting the bigger screen one- iPad Air. As new generations take over with improving technology that is easier to access, consumers now purchase products not for needs, but more often to fulfill their wants and desires. A great example would be the iPad Mini, which is mainly just a device used for entertainment purposes. We have become too wasteful of our resources, trying to attain all our wants.
