Apple iPad mini 2 Review

Apple found a lot of success with the original iPad mini. It delivered an Apple tablet experience in a smaller size and at a slightly more affordable price than the full fat iPad and people went mad for it. The only real problem it had was its screen which, frankly, wasn't all that.
Pros:
  • Stunning design
  • Powerful
  • Good battery life

Nov 25 2013 - The iPad Mini with Retina display is such a huge improvement over the original that it is hard to use the new one and even consider looking at the older one. In essence, Apple has taken all the things they did with the iPad Air and then offered them in the smaller tablet and with a...

Despite the powerful internals laying inside the iPad mini’s aluminium shell, I found battery life to be impressive. In my time with the tablet, the 23.8 watt-hour (Wh) only needed charging twice with a decent amount of use each day over a week or so: a fantastic result for a mid-sized tablet with...
Pros:
  • Very portable, with a well built, well designed body
  • Retina display is very crisp, powered by fast, significantly upgraded hardware
  • iOS has by far the best selection of tablet apps going around
Cons:
  • Pricey, especially for storage upgrades and the cellular model
  • Display color gamut is lacking

  • Excellent battery life
  • Retina screen a big upgrade
  • Fast
  • snappy performance
Cons:
  • More expensive than predecessor
  • Screen can't match iPad Air

Apple iPad Mini 2 with Retina display review

If it wasn't for the tiny niggles of colour reproduction, performance and price, we'd give the iPad Mini with Retina display the overall tablet crown. Colours look slightly more vivid and accurate both on the iPad Air (which also performs ever-so-slightly better) and key, cheaper rivals such as the...
Pros:
  • Gorgeous build
  • stunning Retina screen
  • All day battery life
  • Much faster than the original Mini
Cons:
  • Very expensive compared to 7/8in tablets
  • No expandable storage
  • Marginally inferior colours compared to Air's screen

Apple Retina iPad mini

Sometimes it's the little things. Introduced in late 2012, the iPad mini was as slow as the iPad 2 (which was then almost two years old). It didn't have the gorgeous Retina display that Apple had added to the iPad earlier in the year.
Pros:
  • High-resolution Retina display
  • same A7 processor as iPad Air, High-resolution Retina display
  • same A7 processor as iPad Air
Cons:
  • Camera not as good as on iPhones
  • no Touch ID fingerprint detector, Camera not as good as on iPhones
  • no Touch ID fingerprint detector
