Apple iPad mini 3 Review
For those who are dying to use Apple Pay for online purchases and don't want to bother with passwords, the iPad mini 3 is a solid pick, but the iPad Air 2's faster A8X chip, richer anti-reflective display and better 8-MP camera make that the best tablet in Apple's lineup.
Apple iPad mini 3 Review
The iPad mini 2 is Apple's best mini yet, but it's too similar to last year's model and substantially worse than the iPad Air 2 .- Stylish design
- Touch ID
- Good screen
- Underpowered
- Very similar to mini 2
- 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 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.- Sleek design
- Good app access
- Touch ID for security
- Too similar to mini 2
- Pricey compared to last year
- Not as powerful as Air 2
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?- Good hi-res screen
- Solid design
- Essentially the same tablet as the iPad mini 2 but a lot more expensive
New iPad mini 3 review
Apple unveiled the new iPad mini 3 at a special event on 16 October, alongside the bigger iPad Air 2. We've spent some time with Apple's 7.9in tablet to bring you our iPad mini 3 review, which we'll update regularly over the next year as we spend more time with the tablet.- Gorgeous design
- Touch ID fingerprint sensor
- new gold colour option
- more affordable 64GB model
- Almost identical to the now £80 cheaper iPad mini 2
- misses out on iPad Air 2's great processor & specs
How does Apple's latest mini tablet fair? We take a look in our video review.....
iPad Mini 3 review - gone and mostly forgotten
As we said at the start, this review is one that's largely positive, but with the price overshadowing the tablet. This is largely because Apple has left the iPad Mini 2 on sale, which is identical, bar TouchID, the Apple SIM, Gold colour and storage sizes.
Excellent service
Placed order on Tuesday, dispatched Friday and received Monday!! Even e-mailed me to check I had received my order. Very happy chappy indeed.
