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

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
Super thin and light, Slick performance, Great battery life
iOS 9 a bit glitchy (for now), Pricey, No microSD still
Apple hasn't revolutionised the iPad Mini with this fourth model but it's certainly one of the best sub-10-inch tablets you can buy right now. A desirable combination of slick performance and longevity, combined with some serious media chops, make the Min...

The most interesting feature of the Apple iPad Mini 4 is the new operating system iOS 9. The ninth version of the Apple OS not only introduces several new and useful features, it also seems to have a positive effect on the overall performance, which is co...

Apple's new iPad mini 4 is too tall for older iPad mini cases, so we'll be seeing a whole new slew of cases for the device. The first is Apple's own iPad mini 4 Silicone Case ($59). Unlike the company's past Smart Case for iPad mini, Silicone Case is a mo...
Ultra-compact, ultra-portable tablet, Laminated, high color-gamut Retina display, Apple A8 performance, Incredible build quality
Big screen, big experience, Access to Apple Pen or Smart Keyboard, Apple A9 performance, Low, low pricing
Many are going to say the iPad mini 4 is what the iPad mini 3 was meant to be. That sounds like a cliche because it is. It took engineering time to get almost everything from the iPad Air 2 distilled down to 7.9 inches. To get the higher color gamut, lami...

Abstract: Once seen as the future of the iPad, the iPad mini is now a lower-priority device, losing ground to oversized smartphones on one side, and bigger tablets that double as PCs on the other. Too bad, then, that the best iPad mini by far is launching to an inc...

The thinner, lighter design is even easier to hold than past iPad minis. A more powerful processor boots up the iPad and opens apps faster. Rear iSight camera has been upgraded to 8MP, with slomo video recording and burst mode shooting. Colors are sharper
Still often feels like a step down from iPad Air 2. No 3D Touch display. 16GB capacity will be too small for most users. 1.2 MP iPad FaceTime camera feels outdated. The design has been tweaked enough that old iPad mini cases won't fit. Smaller battery mee

Expensive, Occasional minor performance issues in testing

No 3D Touch, no significant upgrade to the front camera, no hardware mute/screen rotation lock slide switch
While a worthy upgrade over its predecessor, the iPad Mini 4 is all about making it better, rather than the top of Apple's tablet lineup. With tablet sales on the decline, Apple seems to be hedging its bet by offering cutting edge processors and best in c...
