In our review of Apple's original iPad mini last year, we remarked that its exceptional iOS app catalogue, outstanding build quality and super light weight were only let down by a mediocre screen.
- Excellent battery life
- Retina screen a big upgrade
- Fast
- snappy performance
- More expensive than predecessor
- Screen can't match iPad Air

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...
- 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
- Pricey, especially for storage upgrades and the cellular model
- Display color gamut is lacking

iPad mini 2 with Retina display review
Update: While it doesn't tote the same Touch ID goods as the latest iPad Mini 4 , the Mini 2 still got a hearty update with the arrival of iOS 9.3. Night Shift brings intelligent color temperature-shifting tech to the iPad Mini 2.
It's hard not to compare this fifth-generation iPad to the tablets that came before it as it's essentially a hodgepodge of hardware and components Apple already had lying around with the latest iOS software slapped on top. But a Frankenstein's monster this is not.
- Respectable battery life
- Sturdy and lightweight
- Beautiful design
- Affordable
The 2017 iPad's new, aggressive pricing is laser-guided to take down premium-priced Android equivalents. That, plus its impressive battery life and infinite well-curated apps, make it today's best-value tablet.
- Newly competitive price for its screen size
- Solid construction
- Strong app ecosystem
- Satisfying battery life
- Incrementally thicker than predecessor
- Slow charging
Happy
As always no problem my only complaint is that it is too easy to spend money But it's a good spend
Apple iPad 6 2018 Tablet Review
The 2018 iPad (sixth-generation) is the small update the spec sheet promises. It is faster, but a still outdated SoC and Apple Pencil support are the most important new features. Both the battery runtime and the power consumption suffered due to these updates but are still good in general.- Pencil support
- lower price for schools and students
- excellent build quality and choice of materials
- good display
- non-laminated display with significant gap to the glass (but easier to repair in return
- camera not improved for years
- no current SoC
