The iPad mini 3 (http://www.macworld.com/article/2834505/apple-debuts-ipad-air-2-and-ipad-mini-3-thinner-faster-gold-and-with-touch-id.html) wasn’t a huge upgrade from its predecessor, offering just one new reason to buy: Touch ID. (Oh, and it came in gold.)</p><p>

But one of the next-gen OS’s best features, the side-by-side Split View, only works with the iPad Air 2—for now. Some code-digging by developer Hamza Sood (and reported by 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/08/11/el-capitan-file-hints-at-faster-upcoming-ipad-mini-4-with-split-screen-apps-support/)) revealed that the iPad mini 4 might be powerful enough to handle Split View, too.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2966163/ipad/ipad-mini-4-rumors-slimmed-down-with-a-better-camera.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
