Apple has announced an updated iPad but its low-resolution iPad Mini is likely to be a disappointment for photographers looking to do precision work. While the fourth-generation iPad features a 263 pixel-per-inch ‘Retina’ display, the 7.9″ (20cm) iPad Mini makes do with a 163 pixel-per-inch panel with a quarter of the pixel count (just 1024 x 768, rather than its big brother’s 2048 x 1536 pixels). The iPad Mini’s screen is step behind the latest panels, such as the 217ppi, 1280 x 800 pixel display in the less expensive Nexus 7. The fourth-gen iPad also features a faster A6X processor that is claimed to offer twice the performance, plus an HD (720p) front-facing camera.
