Pros:
  • Adds a high-res Retina screen
  • Thin
  • light
  • and comfortable to hold
  • Powerful 64-bit processor
  • New Wi-Fi antennas are fast
  • iOS 7 runs smooth
  • Battery life is still 10 hours
Cons:
  • Camera quality has not improved
  • A hair thicker and heavier than iPad Mini
  • $400 price tag is steep for a compact tablet
  • No fingerprint sensor
  • Some users complain about iOS 7's new look

Review: Apple's second-generation iPad mini with Retina display

While Apple got almost everything right with the Retina iPad mini, there is a catch: The cost for every model has increased by $70 from last year's prices. The starting price for the iPad mini with Retina display is now $400.
Pros:
  • Apple's Retina display standard once again lives up to the hype
  • The 64-bit A7 chip's performance impresses
  • just as it did on the iPad Air & iPhone 5s
  • Same great lightweight
  • ultraportable design as last year
Cons:
  • Though lower-priced competition continues to improve
  • Apple has increased the iPad mini price by $70
  • Limited supply could make the Retina iPad mini hard to get for the holidays
  • Some may want to wait for Touch ID in a future model

Apple Ipad Mini 2 review

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

Review: Apple's Retina iPad mini is the small tablet we wanted a year ago

You needed to know two things about the first iPad mini. The first thing is that it was, well, mini -it was a 7.9-inch tablet from a company whose CEO once said that users would have to sandpaper their fingers down to comfortably use anything smaller than a full-size iPad.
Pros:
  • Retina display resolves all of our gripes with the old mini's screen
  • A7 SoC blows the old mini's A5 out of the water and nearly runs as quickly as the version in the iPad Air
  • Great battery life
  • and the battery charges more quickly if you use the included 10W adapter
  • Nice Wi-Fi upgrade
  • although...
Cons:
  • iOS 7 is still a little rough around the edges on this and every iPad
  • Air gap between glass and LCD keeps screen from being as good as it could be
  • Features like Touch ID will have to wait until next year at the earliest
  • Scattered reports indicate that some screens may suffer from image retention...

Apple iPad mini with Retina Display: Reviewed

When I concluded our iPad Air review I assumed the iPad mini with Retina Display was a true no-compromise, smaller alternative to the iPad Air. In many senses that's true. Wireless connectivity is identical between the models, battery life is pretty much the same as well.

iPad Mini 2 review

At £319 for the 16GB, cellular-free, model, the iPad Mini Retina isn't cheap, especially compared to its rivals. Things get almost MacBook-like at the top-end, with the 128GB/4G model setting you back £659.
Pros:
  • Stunning Retina display
  • Speed performance
  • Size and weight for daily use
Cons:
  • Price
  • No Touch ID

Apple iPad mini 2 review (Retina display model, late-2013)

Apple has taken its landmark tablet and made it significantly better. There's no doubt this is the best small tablet on the market, and should budget not be a primary factor in a buying decision then it's the device to go for whether it's for screen quality, range of apps, battery life, physical...

Dear-ly beloved: Apple's costly iPad Mini with Retina Display

Review Last year's iPad Mini really was playing second fiddle to the regular iPad. Not merely smaller than its sibling, the Mini had a much lower resolution display. It had a less powerful processor too. It felt like a product Apple was obliged to make rather than one it actually wanted to.
