“You feel like you're actually holding the web right in the palm of your hand.”
Marketers use lines like that because, well, that's what marketers do. But when an Apple marketer
says such a thing to describe surfing the web on the iPad, a lot of truth is behind it. The iPad mini
with the Retina display got ever-more powerful — not that the robust processors in earlier iPads were
anything to sneeze at.
In this chapter, you discover the pleasures — and the few roadblocks — in navigating cyberspace on
your iPad mini.

A version of the Apple Safari web browser is a major reason that the 'Net on the iPad is very much
like the 'Net you've come to expect on a more traditional computer. Come to think of it, the Internet
often looks a lot better on the mini with the striking Retina display. And the screens on older mini
models without the Retina display aren't too shabby either. Safari for the Mac and for Windows is one
of the very best web browsers in the business. In our view, Safari on the iPad has no rival as a tablet
browser.
