Apple iPad mini 2 Review

Each and every year, Apple refreshes their tablet line-up with new hardware and new features. The full sized iPad got faster, lighter, slimmer and even received a new name ( iPad Air ), while the second-generation mini is more impressive than ever, thanks to a major update.
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

When we first clutched last year's Apple iPad Mini , we were instantly sold. The compact and featherlight body was a dream compared with the 4th-generation iPad 's bulky, heavy build, making it friendly on our puny biceps.
Pros:
  • Beautifully crisp and responsive screen
  • Impressive performance
  • Still comfortably slim and light

Like a sized-down iPad Air, the Retina iPad Mini gives Apple an equally strong contender in compact tablets, marrying a terrific display with close-to-perfect aesthetics. Though pricey for the size, it's one of the best small tablets you can buy.
Pros:
  • Compact
  • lightweight design
  • Brilliant
  • sharp display with high pixel density
  • Strong battery life
Cons:
  • Display
  • like on previous-gen iPads
  • is glare-prone
  • Thin-sounding audio
  • Less-than-ideal speaker positioning

  • Beautiful
  • thin and light design
  • Stellar battery life
  • Bright
  • clear display
  • Sturdy construction
Cons:
  • Too wide for some
  • Pricier than many 7-inch alternatives

The iPad mini is not just the best looking iPad ever, but the best looking tablet we have ever seen. Period. The front is dominated by the 7.9-inch touch screen display, even more so than in the larger iPad simply because the bezel has been shrunk, and the single Home key beneath the display made...

iPad Mini review

The iPad Mini is exactly what its name suggests it is – a smaller iPad. With a good build, decent screen and specs, and a solid ecosystem behind it, there's no doubt that it's a compelling device. Price will, undoubtedly, be a factor for many.

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

Review: Apple iPad Mini with Retina Display

After the fanfare that heralded the new iPad Air, Apple was rather less effusive about the new, upgraded edition of its compact tablet – the iPad mini with Retina display. Yet, while it shares the same body as last year's model (which remains on sale at the lower price of $349), there's plenty to...
