Same battery with better endurance, thanks to the A15 Bionic

We believe Apple has retained the same 1821 mAh battery in the iPhone SE 3 but according to the company’s claim, things apparently seem to have improved over its predecessor. Let’s get the numbers to do the talking then and find out. Considering the new SE 3 has the same overall footprint as the outgoing model, we doubt if Apple has upped the battery size.

In comparison to the iPhone SE 2, the SE 3 brings up to 2 more hours of video playback and up to 10 hours extra audio playback time. This is impressive for those coming from an iPhone SE 2 and that means the A15 Bionic chipset is good in terms of optimization.

Battery life: iPhone SE 3 vs iPhone SE 2 vs iPhone 8

As customary as it is nowadays, Apple does not include a charging brick with the iPhone SE 3. All that’s there in the box is the device itself along with the Apple USB-C to USB-C cable and some user guides.

You may pre-order iPhone SE 3 on March 11 with sales commencing a week later on March 18.

As you can see from the images below, the notch here houses all of the sensors and camera next to each other neatly with a cut-out for the earpiece above all of the components. Meaning, the earpiece/speaker will be located at the top bezels of the iPhone 13.

The reduction in the width of the notch is due to the earpiece being relocated in a better location to free up space and provide that much more screen real estate, say for the battery percentage. Anyways, take a look.

All of these changes are a huge welcome, however, ever since Apple introduced the iPhone X in late 2017, the size of the notch hasn’t been given a resize. To be honest, we prefer the current notch because it has become an identity for modern iPhones in icons and device representations much like the home button of previous iPhones. We wish Apple goes all-screen by locating the front vitals under the display. However, that won’t happen at least until 2023 considering the company’s major design upgrade cycle.

Speaking of which, the iPad Air 4 too was given the same modern makeover in October last year and the new mini follows its footsteps. As in, the iPad mini 6 is basically a smaller iPad Air 4 in comparison but with better specs to boot overall. Let’s compare the specs and then discuss why you should buy the iPad mini 6 over the iPad Air 4.

iPad mini 6 vs iPad Air 4: Easy battle!

The most powerful chipset on the go

Right off the bat, the iPad mini 6 stomps the iPad Air 4 in the processing department. The A15 Bionic chipset borrowed from the iPhone 13 makes its way here. It is currently the fastest mobile device chip and definitely faster than the A14 in the iPad Air 4. Not only that, you can rest assured as it is future-proof due to the latest and greatest mobile silicon from Apple. Both the mini and Air have 4GB of RAM onboard.

5G all the way!

Apple transitioned to 5G last year with the introduction of the iPhone 12 series and iPad Pro 2021. This year the iPad mini 6 marches along to deliver blazing-fast download speeds and a better internet experience. Sadly, the iPad Air 4 loses out here too.

A new front camera system

A new 12MP front camera with a 122-degree field of view is here as opposed to the aging 7MP unit on the iPad Air 4. The ultra-wide camera with a higher degree field of view in the iPad mini 6 brings Centre stage. The feature helps keep the person in the frame during video calls by panning the camera as and when user movement is detected. All thanks to machine learning-powered by AI and yes, that mighty A15 Bionic powerhouse.

Perfectly portable

The dimensions of the iPad mini 6 are in the convenient ballpark making it ultra manageable and portable when compared to the iPad Air 4. The 8.3″ display on the iPad mini is by no means inferior to the 10.9″ panel of the iPad Air. Both devices have a Liquid Retina IPS LCD with similar color properties and qualities. Barring the size, the iPad mini has a more pixel-dense display and again a manageable overall footprint.

Priced right, buy now

At a starting price of $499, the iPad mini 6 feels like a steal especially when you get updated internals over the iPad Air 4 where for $599, all you get is a larger display and nothing else. Oh, we missed out on one thing though, the iPad Air 2020 even lacks a camera flash, let alone a Quad-LED True Tone gizmo. The iPad mini 6 is up for pre-order with shipment to commence September 24.
