Has the guts of the iPad Air 2 

Apple has just announced splashy and expensive iPad Pro and quietly announced an iPad mini 4.

Phil Shiller only mentioned that this cheaper $399 device is going to have the insides of the iPad Air 2 packed into a smaller case.

The iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4 run an A8X processor that make the smaller iPad faster. The screen probably remains the same 7.9 inch Retina 2048x1536 screen.

iPad Mini 3 comes with an ancient A7 chip with M7 and it was ready for an update. The price remains the same as the iPad mini 3 used to cost –  $399 for the 16GB option. The CPU is supposed to be 30 percent faster and the GPU ends up 60 percent faster.
