Apple's Wi-Fi iPad mini lacks GPS, unlike Google Nexus 7 - A look at Apple's iPad mini specs page reveals a inequality between the placement options on the Wi-Fi solely and Wi-Fi and cellular models.
While the cellular iPad mini options GPS to trace its location the LAN solely model lacks any GPS capability, unless you count the inherent compass app.
Apple was over happy to match the iPad mini to competitors like Google's Nexus seven at Tuesday's announcement event, spoken language that the seven.9-inch show gave it additional screen property than its android rival.
However, the Nexus 7, in conjunction with different competitive tablets within the 7-inch vary like Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2, do relish inherent GPS within the Wi-Fi models.
It's nothing new for Apple to depart out GPS on its Wi-Fi solely devices. Past iPad models and therefore the new iPad 4's Wi-Fi model, suffered from a similar limitation.
The feature is arguably additional necessary with the shift to a smaller tablet just like the iPad mini although, that is less complicated to bring on within the automotive and doubtless use as a GPS device.
Of course the cellular iPad mini, that conjointly adds LTE support, still includes inherent GPS.
However, the feature might get thought once scrutiny the $249 (UK£199, AU$299) 16GB Wi-Fi Nexus seven against the $329 (UK£269, AU$369) 16GB LAN iPad mini this season.
Then again, with the debacle that Apple Maps has become on iOS 6, perhaps the loss of GPS is doing users a favor.
