Great battery life and it's the most affordable tablet with access to the iOS App Store. Upgradeable to iOS 10 later this year.
Apple has stuck with the same design as last year’s iPad mini
Which in itself is a departure from the tapered look of previous iPads – and it’s still as impressive as when it was first revealed. It’s a slimline and lightweight slate that feels solid in the hand thanks to the premium build quality
And it weighs hardly anything. It's the more portable flavour of iPad
And works just as well out a

Android and Amazon tablets and even Windows laptops are available for less. Base model includes only 16GB of nonexpandable storage. It's missing the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and splitscreen feature found on newer iPads
Tablets are not exactly known for their brilliant sound quality
And the new iPad mini is no exception either. The stereo speakers included on the mini will certainly make do for occasional listening
But they’re not as loud as the pair found on the iPad Air
And they’re also positioned awkwardly. When using the mini
It’s easy to cover up the speakers when held on its side such as when you’re pl

Abstract: After the fanfare that heralded the new iPad Air, Apple was rather less effusive about the new, upgraded edition of its compact tablet – the iPad mini with Retina display. But there's plenty to get excited about.From a distance, you'd be hard-pressed to d...
Similarspec rivals are much cheaper, 16GB too low storage
The iPad mini 2 is almost flawless in so many ways. The rich App catalog mean it's a device that will grow with you, and the 64-bit A7 chip and Retina display are certainly future-proofing users from an outdated device. The design is still the best in th...
Sure, there are other tablets on the market with comparable specifications but Apple have fine tuned this medium and no operating system in our opinion has come close to iOS 7, especially with its ease of use, AirDrop and multitasking. With that said, App...

The only reasons not to buy an iPad mini — assuming you'd like to buy a tablet in the first place — are matters of personal preference and bankroll. Can you afford to spend $598 (let's be honest, 16GB isn't gonna cut it these days, and the 32GB model is a...
High-resolution Retina display; same A7 processor as iPad Air
Camera not as good as on iPhones; no Touch ID fingerprint detector, $479 (16GB); $598 (32GB); $699 (64GB); $799 (128GB)
The iPad mini was a great size when it was introduced in the spring of 2012, and it's still a great size today. It's small enough to hold in one hand and read like a book, yet powerful enough to pivot into landscape orientation and get some work done.The...
