The Apple-designed A7 chip brings 64‑bit desktop-class architecture to iPad mini 3. That means incredibly fast CPU speeds and outstanding graphics performance for everything you do. And with up to 10 hours of battery life, you have plenty of time to study, play, build, and create whatever you want.*
The A7 chip gives iPad mini 3 serious power and capability. With 64‑bit desktop-class architecture, your apps and games are incredibly responsive. But that’s just the beginning. With iOS 8 and Metal, developers can create iPad apps with detailed graphics and visual effects once possible only on desktop computers and game consoles.
The A7 chip isn’t just powerful, it’s also power efficient. With a battery life of up to 10 hours, iPad mini gives you the power you need wherever you go.*
iPad mini 3 is designed to be on the move. That’s why the M7 coprocessor makes so much sense. It measures motion from your iPad mini by pulling data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass. So your apps can give you a better experience based on the movement of your iPad mini. It’s a task that would normally fall to the A7 chip. But M7 is more efficient at it, which saves on power.
