Apple iPad mini review

An outstanding compact tablet, beautifully designed and with great battery life. Apple has done a great job with the iPad mini, although it we do feel that the pricing is not as competitive as it could be.

iPad Mini

The iPad Mini is one of the few new product lines that Apple has unveiled this year, yet it's really just an incredibly shrunken-down redesign of the iPad 2. It's a perfect size and weight, and works exactly as advertised: it's a truly portable iPad with excellent battery life and nearly no...
Pros:
  • The iPad Mini's ultra-thin and light design is far more intimate than the larger iPad
  • Offers a full iPad experience
  • The screen's dimensions elegantly display larger-format magazines and apps
Cons:
  • Costs too much comparatively
  • The A5 processor isn't as robust as the one in the fourth-gen iPad and iPhone 5
  • Typing on the smaller screen is not quite as comfy

iPad mini

Certainly the most desirable 7-inch tablet on the market, the iPad mini's £269 starting price is considerably higher than the competition but for that outlay you get a device that, although not specs superior, is a far more enticing option than much of what is already on the market.
Pros:
  • Stunning brushed metal design
  • Strong battery life
  • Simply
  • intuitive UI
Cons:
  • Low-res screen
  • More expensive than competition
  • No boxed headphones or dock adaptor

Review: Apple iPad Mini

The war in which everyone seems to be winners is the one we seem to have had with Apple and everyone else in the last couple of decades. It started with Mac vs PC, continued with iPhone vs Android, and now that battle has extended to the tablet market.
Pros:
  • Good price
  • good size
  • all the advantages of a tablet
  • great video and audio
  • all the apps
  • all the features of I devices
Cons:
  • Like all Apples
  • not massively configurable
  • a new proprietary cable to worry about

Apple iPad mini Wi-Fi review

I've heard many complaints about the iPad mini. I've heard people moan about the dated processor and the low resolution, 4:3 screen. I've even heard a few complain about the lack of GPS in the Wi-Fi version.
Pros:
  • Smaller
  • lighter & more portable
  • Beautifully designed and built
  • Huge selection of apps
  • Seamless integration with Apple devices
Cons:
  • Ageing processor
  • Relatively low resolution screen

The first time I saw the iPad mini at an Apple Store, I decided to give it a pass. I already had a third-generation iPad with Retina Display and buying a smaller iPad did not make sense. Thankfully, a friend asked me to pick one for him and let me play around with it till I returned to India.

Cons:
  • More expensive than 7" Android tablets

Apple iPad Mini Review

If you're spoiled like us and are already used to high-resolution screens on your new gadgets, the iPad mini may be a let down, initially. But if you disarm your screen snobbery and relax, you'll find an incredibly comfortable, well-sized, well-built tablet at a more affordable $330 price.
Pros:
  • Great screen size
  • Comfortable and light
  • 300,000 apps
  • Good rear camera
Cons:
  • No Retina screen
  • Lightning connector adapter is expensive
  • No microSD
  • More expensive than Android competitors
