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

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
Expensive for a small tablet
Lacks Touch ID
No expandable memory
Want a bigger screen for films

Very expensive compared to 7/8in tablets
No expandable storage
Marginally inferior colours compared to Air's screen

Lack of Touch ID
