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

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.

Apple iPad Mini 2 Review
The second iPad Mini is our favorite tablet of 2013, and the current tablet to beat. We wish it cost less than $400.
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 iPad mini With Retina Display
This is the iPad mini we've all been waiting for. When the first generation iPad mini debuted last year, it was a terrific product. Apple's first stab at a smaller tablet looked more far more elegant than the competition, managed to squeeze a larger 7.9-inch display in a traditionally 7-inch tablet...
Pros:
- Gorgeous 2048 x 1536 pixel display
- 10-plus hour battery life will more than serve your cross-country plane flight, or close to a week of casual daily use
- A7 processor (with M7 co-processor) offers more power than you may ever need on a 7-inch tablet.
Cons:
- Pricey - similar sized and specced tablets go for closer to $200
- Stereo speakers both located on one end of the device
- Would be nice if it had TouchID like the iPhone 5s, but with the problems cropping up related to that feature lately, we're wondering if not including it was a smart move after...

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

The iPad mini matches the full-sized iPad Air in display quality, design and performance. Just be prepared to pay more than you would have for last year's model.
Pros:
- Stunning display
- Solid performance
- Long battery life
Cons:
- No Touch ID
- Relatively expensive

Apple iPad mini with Retina Display Review
If there's any one product that embodies Apple's entire product philosophy, it's the iPad mini with Retina Display. This is not a tablet that's designed to go head to head with cheaper slates like the Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HDX.

Little big guy
My wife has had her iPad (generation 1) since they first came out. It was getting a bit long in the tooth and didn't run some applications very well. Our son had gotten the iPad mini for his birthday and she liked the size.
Pros:
- Extreemly portable
- retina display
- latest processor
Cons:
- Some things can look tiny

First Look: iPad mini with Retina display
The iPad mini with Retina display has arrived. As someone who dumped the full-sized iPad for the iPad mini a year ago , I've been excited to get my hands on this new model. Can its small size beat out the all-new, all-lightweight iPad Air for a place in my heart and my backpack?
