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

Higher price
Iterative evolution
Expensive
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

Lack of Touch ID

Gorgeous 2048 x 1536 pixel display. 10plus hour battery life will more than serve your crosscountry plane flight, or close to a week of casual daily use. A7 processor (with M7 coprocessor) offers more power than you may ever need on a 7inch tablet. Tons o
Priceysimilar sized and specced tablets go for closer to $200. Stereo speakers both located on one end of the device. Would be nice if it had better networking capabilities

The iPad mini was a great size when it was introduced in the fall 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 ...

Abstract: The tablet market doesn't look very different than it did a year ago from the perspective of who's doing well and who's not. Perhaps the most exciting developments came towards the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013 from the usual big guys: Google released...
Fast performance, Great display, Huge library of available apps
Some other great performing tablets cost less, Harder to use one handed than smaller, 7inch tablets
The Apple mini with Retina Display is every bit as great as the Apple iPad Air (Est. $500 and up) , but packed into a smaller tablet. You can argue about value, or grouse that the iPad mini with Retina Display is harder to use with one hand than competing...
