The iPad Mini 3 can't compete against another tablet ranged by Apple
Hiding in the shadows of Apple's iPad Air 2 announcement was the smaller iPad Mini 3, neglected, with the only improvement made to the year-old tablet being Touch ID.- Powerful and yet small tablet
- High resolution 'retina display
- Touch ID
- Hardware is a year old
- Expensive
Apple iPad mini 3 review: A tablet that struggles to find its place
When the iPad mini with Retina display launched alongside the iPad Air in 2013 the biggest choice you had to worry about was whether or not you wanted a 7.9-inch or a 9.7-inch screen. The message from Apple was clear: you get the same power either way.- Great size
- good screen
- TouchID integrated
- Same as last year
- iPad mini 2 offers far better value for money

iPad mini 3 review
Apple's iPad mini has always been a firm favourite tablet in the Wired.co.uk office. With the iPad mini 3 Apple has kept almost everything from the previous Retina display iPad mini 2 , but added a TouchID fingerprint sensor and now offers a gold finish.- Amazing display
- excellent battery life
- fast processor
- great 3D graphics
- easy to use
- app store still number one for quality and variety
- The addition of TouchID and gold colour option just doesn't seem to justify such a premium over the iPad mini 2
- cameras and processor not improved in line with other iPads
Apple iPad mini 3
The yearly upgrade cycle is now an accepted – if occasionally frustrating – part of being a technophile in today's constantly moving market. Once a year (or sometimes even sooner – yes, we're looking at you Sony), a product line will undoubtedly get refreshed or replaced; some updated specs, maybe...- Superb screen
- Good colour balance
- Rhythmic sound
- Strong app selection
- Premium design
- ‘Touch ID
- Very similar spec to last year
One of the nicest compact tablets you can buy, the iPad Mini 3 bears all the quality hallmarks of the iPad line, and it won't disappoint iOS-faithful buyers with the cash to spare. But the now-cheaper previous-gen Mini 2 model is a better value for most folks.
- Undeniably attractive design
- Touch ID fingerprint-sensing authentication
- Carrier-switchable SIM on cellular-capable models
- Not a compelling value for many buyers
- with iPad Mini 2 at $100 less
