Though we're disappointed by the lack of upgrades
Apple's smaller iPad is still a great choice. Both the display and battery life are excellent
And the addition of Touch ID takes care of our biggest complaint from the previous version

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
Last year's screen, Last year's processor, Last year's camera

Abstract: A little more than a week ago, Apple pushed out its third iOS 8 update, an update that the company naturally called iOS 8.0.2 . Over the past week, we've spent quality time with iOS 8.0.2 on iPad mini with Retina Display and today, we want to take a look ...

Yes, the iPad mini 3 is essentially the same as last year's model, but that means it's also a great tablet. In reflecting on why the iPad mini 3 had suddenly inspired an interest in tablets where none had previously existed, I realized it came down to tru...

Battery, life camera
None, from $569
With the holidays fast approaching, the iPad mini 4 will be a popular gift, maybe even for yourself. If you own an older iPad—especially if it's over two years old—you'll be very satisfied with the iPad mini 4 as an upgrade. It's fast, sports a great-look...
All of Apple's tablets are great performers. Having five different models – in various sizes, both Wi-Fi only and with cellular – makes them more accessible than ever, since the price points range from $299 for the original iPad mini all the way to $1019 ...
