Outdone by the competition when it comes to battery life
Relatively pricey
IPad mini 3 has slower performance and will age faster
IPad mini 4 is slower
Has lowerend specs
And doesn't have Apple Pencil nor Smart Keyboard support
IPad Pro 9.7 is heavier
Not as portable and is more expensive
This will come as no surprise
But it would have been mega if Apple has decided to throw 3D Touch onto this device. The mini 4 has the ability to run it (in terms of screen clarity)
And while I understand that the brand wants to hold some toys back to ma
Screen is a bit small for Split View in iOS 9
Not as powerful as the iPad Air 2
IPad mini 2 far cheaper
Price is high for an 8-inch tablet. Slower graphics mean some apps and games don't feel as zippy. Small screen makes for cramped typing and multitasking
Older processor
No 3D touch
Not quite as powerful as iPad Pro 9.7
No screen improvements
Only available in 128GB
Shorter battery life than predecessors
Dated design
Average cameras
FaceTime camera is still a measly 1.2MP
No 3D Touch
Storage is non-expandable
Old chipset
Camera unimpressive
It's pricier than Android alternatives
IPad Air 2 and iPad Pro offer more
Still not quite as powerful as iPad Air
No 32GB model
Expensive
IOS needs more tablet additions
There is no microSD card slot
So the memory cannot be expanded
There is no HDMI port
So you can't easily watch images or videos from the iPad on your TV unless you invest in a TV streaming device
Great performance, Decent battery life, Apple Pencil support
Dated design, Average cameras
The iPad mini lives on in a very capable package that includes the blazingly fast A12 chip. It's the cheapest hardware with Apple's latest processor.The ageing design is a downside, but this iPad design is a certified classic and we don't think it'll put...
There was a time when we feared that Apple wouldn't update the iPad mini and that, the horror, the iPad mini would be discontinued. There were suggestions that because the screen size of iPhones was getting bigger there was less demand for the smaller siz...

The mini 4 is too old; the Pro is too expensive. Unless you urgently need the smallest possible tablet (get the mini) or a super-powered tablet that can support the second-gen Apple Pencil (get a 2018 Pro), you should compromise on a middle path and get t...
Which of these ‘budget' iPad options is best for you? If budget really is the be-all and end-all, the iPad 2017 is your best bet, because it starts at £319 instead of £399. However, as we said above - that £80 saving can partly be attributed to the fact t...
Not quite as powerful as iPad Pro 9.7, no screen improvements, only available in 128GB, shorter battery life than predecessors
The iPad mini 4 is a great little tablet that comes in at a price that reflects its quality and capabilities. It looks gorgeous, is a breeze to use and leaves little to be desired. It's a shame that it hasn't been updated since September 2015, though.Tags...

The iPad mini 4 is going to be an underground hit for Apple. While the mini 3 was woefully disappointing (coming with literally just Touch ID and a new color as upgrades over the mini 2), there's a real step forward here.The mini 4 should have been launch...
