The editors didn't like
Not much upgrade
Same as last year in nearly every way
Poor power
High price considering
Price is high compared to some rivals
The iPad mini 2 is still available for much less
IPad mini 3 has slower performance and will age faster
No updated camera
No updated CPU
None of the iPad Air 2's screen improvements included
No NFC
Too similar to mini 2
Pricey compared to last year
Not as powerful as Air 2
Almost identical to the now £80 cheaper iPad mini 2
Misses out on iPad Air 2's great processor & specs
Same as last year
IPad mini 2 offers far better value for money
Underpowered
Very similar to mini 2
Expensive
Other than a gold option and Touch ID
The iPad Mini 3 is identical to its predecessor. It lacks the processor and camera upgrade of its big brother
The Air 2
And it's still priced at the high end for midsize tablets
The Mini 2 is now much better value
No spec bumps like the iPad Air 2
Non expandable
No 32GB
Slightly inferior colours next to Air 2
No improvements whatsoever
Except for the addition of TouchID
A reduced weight and a smaller border wouldn't have gone amiss
Holds less appeal than the iPad Mini Retina (iPad Mini 2)
And the latter is still available
Few improvements over iPad Mini 2
Very similar spec to last year
Limited upgrade over iPad Mini 2
Last year's specs offer little incentive to upgrade
Entry-level model's 16GB of storage doesn't cut it
Essentially the same tablet as the iPad mini 2 but a lot more expensive
The addition of TouchID and gold colour option just doesn't seem to justify such a premium over the iPad mini 2
Cameras and processor not improved in line with other iPads
Price is high compared to some rivals, The iPad mini 2 is still available for much less
Overall, the iPad mini 3 is a surefire contender for the best small tablet currently on the market.I have no doubt that that iPad mini 3 is one of, if not the, best small tablet on the market and I would highly recommend it to anyone. There is, however, o...
The iPad Air 2 is the more powerful of the two tablets, and the larger screen means a better experience when watching movies, playing games and carrying out other tasks that benefit from the larger screen estate such as using drawing or photo-editing apps...
The iPad mini 3 is a great tablet in almost every way, and if that verdict sounds familiar, it's because that was our conclusion about the iPad mini 2. Apart from the Touch ID fingerprint reader and the option of a gold-coloured back, there's no differenc...
Pretty much exactly the same as last year's model, save for the new Gold colour option and TouchID
No updated camera, No updated CPU, None of the iPad Air 2's screen improvements included, No NFC,
The iPad Mini 3 is a gorgeous, beautifully crafted tablet and it houses one of the best tablet ecosystems around. However, it is far too similar to last year's model and, for this reason, cannot be considered an update. Save some money and go for the iPad...
Gorgeous design, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, new gold colour option, more affordable 64GB model
Almost identical to the now £80 cheaper iPad mini 2, misses out on iPad Air 2's great processor & specs
The iPad mini 3 is by no means a bad tablet. In fact, it's a rather great one, but it's a bit of a rotten deal. We'd find it difficult to recommend buying the iPad mini 3 when the iPad mini 2 is available for £80 less and is almost exactly the same, and t...

Abstract: It seems like a strange comparison - a phone and a tablet - but not really. The iPhone 6 Plus is massive for a smartphone, and the iPad mini 3 is tiny for a tablet, so do you really need both and, if not, which is best? We compare the specs in our iPhone ...
Overall, while the iPad mini 3 is a great tablet, we'd strongly recommend that you consider buying an iPad mini 2 instead to save your pennies. We're quite disappointed with the iPad mini 3 and we certainly don't think that the Touch ID alone is worth the...
