Apple iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi + Cellular (4G) 128GB Gold (MK782B/A)

Long Description

The Apple iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi + Cellular (4G) 128GB in Gold (model MK782B/A) is a compact yet capable tablet that was originally released in September 2015. While it’s an older model in Apple’s iPad lineup, it continues to serve as a functional and highly portable device for everyday tasks, web Browse, email, light gaming, and media consumption, especially for users in Nairobi, Kenya, who value a small form factor with built-in cellular connectivity.

This iPad mini is powered by the Apple A8 chip with 64-bit architecture and an M8 motion coprocessor. This dual-core processor, combined with 2GB of RAM, provides sufficient performance for smooth operation of most apps and basic multitasking. The 128GB of internal storage offers a good amount of space for apps, photos, videos, and documents, reducing the need for constant cloud reliance compared to smaller storage options.

The 7.9-inch Retina display is a highlight of the iPad mini series, offering a sharp 2048 x 1536 resolution at 326 pixels per inch (ppi). It features a fully laminated display with an anti-reflective coating, which significantly improves outdoor visibility and provides a more direct touch experience. The classic Home button with integrated Touch ID offers secure and convenient authentication for unlocking the device and making purchases.

A key advantage of this model is its Wi-Fi + Cellular (4G LTE) capability (model A1550). This allows you to insert a Nano-SIM card and connect to cellular data networks, providing internet access even when Wi-Fi is unavailable. This is particularly useful for users on the go who need reliable connectivity for work, navigation (it includes Assisted GPS and GLONASS), or staying in touch. It also supports Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth 4.2.

For photography and video calls, the iPad mini 4 features an 8MP Wide back camera ($f/2.4$ aperture) capable of 1080p HD video recording, and a 1.2MP FaceTime HD front camera ($f/2.2$ aperture) for video calls. It utilizes the Lightning connector for charging and data transfer.

It’s important to note that the iPad mini 4’s software support ended with iPadOS 15.8.4 (released March 31, 2025). This means it will no longer receive major iPadOS feature updates, although it may still get security updates for some time. While newer applications might eventually require a newer iPadOS version, it remains capable for many existing apps and general use. Its compact size and cellular connectivity make it a good option for specific use cases where portability and on-the-go internet are priorities, and where the latest software features are not critical.
