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

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
The iPad Mini 3 is only an incremental improvement over last year's model.With the addition of Touch ID and faster wi-fi it has made the device even better.It is still the leading tablet in its class but if you already have last year's iPad Mini with Reti...

One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy....
Abstract: Apple says Touch ID has been the most-requested iPad feature, which I absolutely believe. If all it did was unlock the iPad, I probably wouldn't care (I don't lock my iPad anyway, since my toddler uses it almost as much as I do). But thanks to iOS 8, thir...
Not much upgrade, Same as last year in nearly every way, Poor power, High price considering
The new iPad mini 3 is a standard tablet that only those desperate for more secure online shopping would like. Is it enough of a hike for the price? I can't see how - to the point where I feel more investigation is needed to see what's going on here. Sur...
