Miscellanea

  • The iPad mini 4 does not offer a disk mode for file transfer. The third-party software is available.
  • The device was the first major redesign of the iPad mini line, with a slightly taller and wider body (though with no increase in screen size) compared to the iPad mini 2 and mini 3. There is also a much thinner design, with the device mirroring the depth of the iPad Air 2. This device is also lighter than the previous generation by 33.2 grams.
  • Due to the redesign, the iPad mini 4 is incompatible with cases that would otherwise work with the iPad Mini 2 or iPad Mini 3. To make up for this, Apple released a Smart Cover and Silicone Case for the Mini 4, which can be used separately or in conjunction to make a full protective case. Unlike the iPad Air 2, there is no leather Smart Case for the iPad mini 4.
  • Reviews on the iPad mini 4 have generally been positive, with The Verge giving the iPad Mini 4 a 9/10, praising the display, fast performance, great camera, and multitasking but not liking the speaker or the chamfered edges.

  • My Apple I Pod is locked out. I cannot opened. Model A 1538 S/N. F9FTQFZFGHKJ Can you help me how to do it? thank you.

  • If you ever connected it to iTunes on a PC or a MAC you should be able to restore by attaching the iPad and using the MAC or iTunes on your PC.

    Otherwise it will need to be restored by Apple, purchasing software, or possibly an independent local repair facility.
