One of Apple's most exciting features for the iPad is coming to the next iPad Mini

The discovery was made in a file of Apple's upcoming desktop operating system called El Capitan.
The split screen feature, which will come with Apple's upcoming iOS 9 update, lets you split your iPad's screen with two different apps, which helps with multitasking. Before, iPads could only display one app at a time.
As far as is officially known, the split screen feature can only be found on iPad Air 2s running iOS 9 because older iPad models, including iPad Mini models, don't have powerful enough components to run it.
One of the main components that would let the iPad Air 2 run Split Screen is Apple's powerful A8X processor.
This discovery indirectly supports claims that the next generation of iPad Mini, which some call the iPad Mini 4, will essentially be a miniaturized version of the iPad Air 2.
Rumors about the upcoming iPad Mini claim that it'll be as thin as the iPad Air 2, and that it'll be almost or just as powerful, as it'll share similar components.
