Stunning screen

Premium design
Fantastic app selection
The iPad Mini 2 has a sharp Retina screen
An ultraportable design
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

That said, with this screen and performance, not to mention the app advantage over Android rivals, it's pretty hard to fault the iPad Mini. It's the best sub-8in tablet on the market. ...
Abstract: It might look the same as the original, but the second-generation iPad mini has some serious upgrades. The screen is the most obvious: the high resolution brings all the sharpness and clarity we've come to expect from Retina-equipped iPads. See also: iPad...

Many of you screamed for an iPad mini with a Retina display, and now Apple has delivered. It’s an improvement on last year’s iPad mini in every way possible, but we can’t help but think it’s still a little on the pricey side. With rivals like the Nexus...

Whereas the first iPad Mini was a notch or two below its full-size counterpart, the iPad 4, the iPad Mini with Retina display truly is a "mini" version of the iPad Air. It's powerful, versatile thanks to iOS 7 and the now-free iSoftware suites, and has a ...

Portable, powerful, great screen, as a tablet should be
No Touch ID, not 802.11ac, no microSD
The iPad mini with Retina display bests the efforts of the original mini in virtually every department - and where it doesn't offer an outright improvement it sticks with what worked before. The naysayers will tell you iOS 7 is chaotic, that Androi...

Very expensive compared to 7/8in tablets, No expandable storage, Marginally inferior colours compared to Air's screen
If it wasn't for the tiny niggles of colour reproduction, performance and price, we'd give the iPad Mini with Retina display the overall tablet crown. Colours look slightly more vivid and accurate both on the iPad Air (which also performs ever-so-slightl...
