iPad mini 3 review

Apple knows how to make a cracking tablet, and we loved the iPad mini 2 when it launched last year. It offered all the power of the Air in a smaller form factor, and while it wasn't cheap, it was awesome. But seeing it reproduced almost identically 12 months on doesn't pack the same punch.
Pros:
  • Sleek design
  • Good app access
  • Touch ID for security
Cons:
  • Too similar to mini 2
  • Pricey compared to last year
  • Not as powerful as Air 2

Apple iPad mini 3

Blink and you might have missed it. The iPad mini 3 made an especially quiet debut at Apple's latest event, a mere footnote compared with the iPad Air 2 . With the dust now settled, it's easy to see why-aside from a gold paintjob, Touch ID sensor, and Apple SIM, the $399 16GB mini 3 receives no...
Pros:
  • Beautifully built
  • Fast
  • Sharp screen
  • Excellent app options
Cons:
  • Pricey
  • Few reasons to buy over the less-expensive, still-available iPad mini 2

Apple iPad Mini 3 Review

This is a fantastic iPad Mini, but it's a terrible deal. We recommend you buy a cheaper 32GB iPad Mini 2 and wait a year to get a fingerprint sensor.
Pros:
  • Touch ID sensor
  • High-quality retina screen
  • Great size for reading
  • As good as any
Cons:
  • Limited upgrade over iPad Mini 2
  • Last year's specs offer little incentive to upgrade
  • Entry-level model's 16GB of storage doesn't cut it

Apple iPad Mini 3 review

The Mini 3 is futureproof thanks to fingerprint scanning but makes the iPad Mini 2 too much of a bargain to ignore
Pros:
  • The best small tablet experience
  • Touch ID for unlock and iTunes
  • Gorgeous build
  • stunning Retina screen
  • All-day battery life
Cons:
  • The Mini 2 is now much better value
  • No spec bumps like the iPad Air 2
  • Non expandable
  • no 32GB
  • Slightly inferior colours next to Air 2

Apple iPad mini 3

It makes little sense to run down everything in Apple's iPad mini 3 ($399-$729) that's the same as what you'll find in last year's iPad mini with Retina display - a model that thankfully was renamed

We review the Apple iPad Mini 3, the gold-tinted tiny tab rocking TouchID. Apple's iPad Mini 3 reveal felt a little half-arsed at best, taking up around 27 seconds of the launch event where we also saw the Air 2 drop.
Pros:
  • Still great
  • now with more storage options and Touch ID

iPad Mini 3 Review: Apple's Small Tablet Stays Mostly The Same

Apple's iPad mini 3 is one of two new tablets launched last week at a special event in Cupertino, and it is definitely the one that got the least attention from Apple's product development team over the past year.
Pros:
  • Small size is still more portable
  • Touch ID adds convenience
Cons:
  • $100 more than new price for iPad mini 2
  • Touch ID lone change

iPad mini 3

It's not often that Apple drops the ball on a product – but this is definitely a dropped ball. The iPad mini 3 isn't a bad tablet by any standards; it's just almost identical to last year's iPad mini 2 , which is still on sale. For less money. So what are the differences?
Pros:
  • Good hi-res screen
  • Solid design
Cons:
  • Essentially the same tablet as the iPad mini 2 but a lot more expensive
