The editors didn't like
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

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
The iPad Mini 4 makes the most of iOS 9 and has a number of welcome upgrades, but its high price will have some skipping straight up to larger iPad Air models...
Outstanding design & build quality, Great new display, A8 processor is fast, iOS 9 gives iPad new tricks
More expensive than competition, Little else
The iPad mini 4 is very much like a shrunken down iPad Air 2. This makes it a very potent little tablet that pretty much blows away the competition in just about every regard. Everything from its design, build quality, display quality, performance, camera...
I wasn't very excited about the iPad Mini 3 when Apple announced it last year, as it was just the iPad Mini 2 with Touch ID while the iPad Air 2 was a substantial upgrade from the iPad Air in many ways. The iPad Mini 4 represents an update on the same sca...
Vastly improved display quality and color saturation, Dramatically lighter than its predecessors, Upgraded A8 processor enables multitasking, Cameras support burst mode photography
Battery life is long, but remains unimproved over previous models, Pricey compared to market competition
Pricey, Lock/orientation switch is gone, Design is starting to get old

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-...

Pricey for a compact tablet, Costly relative to Apple's own previous-gen (and still-available) Air and Mini iPads, Rotation-lock switch relegated to software, As ever, no storage expansion via MicroSD
Among the best compact tablets you can buy—if money is no object—the iPad Mini 4 is now a true, almost-no-compromise small alternative to the iPad Air 2. Read More…...

Vibrant screen, iOS 9 is great for multitasking, Solid performance, Respectable battery life
Rotation lock switch is gone, Still less powerful than the iPad Air 2, Base model only has 16GB of storage
After a yearlong wait, we finally have a properly upgraded iPad Mini. While it adopted the iPad Air 2's super-slim aesthetic and got a similarly great screen, the iPad Mini 4 makes do with Apple's dual-core A8 chipset. Performance is remarkably solid, th...
