How old is the iPad Mini 4

The iPad mini 4 is the fourth model of the iPad mini line, introduced along with the first iPad Pro during the Hey Siri event on September 9, 2015. The iPad Mini 4 was available immediately, replacing the iPad mini 3 which was discontinued on the same day. However, the iPad Pro was not available until the following November.

Features

The dimensions of the iPad mini 4 are slightly taller and wider than previous iPad mini models. However, it is also thinner like the iPad Air 2, and lighter than previous versions. The headphone jack was also repositioned and the mute switch was eliminated. As a result, Apple released a new silicone case specifically for the iPad mini 4 as previous Smart Covers did not fit.

The iPad mini 4 is powered by the dual-core Apple A8 processor, also used by the iPhone 6. It also features an Apple M8 motion co-processor.

Discontinuation

The iPad mini 4 was succeeded by the 5th generation iPad mini on March 18, 2019.

Find out which iPad model you have.

Find the model number

Use the model number to find out which model iPad you have. You can find the model number in two ways: 

• Look on the back of your iPad. 
• Open Settings, tap General, then tap About. Look for the model number in the top section. If the number you see has a slash "/", that's the part number [for example, MY3K2LL/A]. Tap the part number to reveal the model number, which has a letter followed by four numbers and no slash [for example, A2342].

To see if your Mac or PC is compatible with your iPad, check the system requirements for your model.
