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
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
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...- Beautifully built
- Fast
- Sharp screen
- Excellent app options
- Pricey
- Few reasons to buy over the less-expensive, still-available iPad mini 2
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: a touch more of the same
Apple's smaller tablet is about the size of a book and gains a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, gold colour and extra storage option – but that's it- compact
- good screen
- fingerprint sensor
- good battery life
- solid build
- barely any change from last year
- expensive
- no expandable storage
- square screen
Apple Ipad Mini 3 review
One of 2013's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.- Though we're disappointed by the lack of upgrades, Apple's smaller iPad is still a great choice. Both the display and battery life are excellent, and the addition of Touch ID takes care of our biggest complaint from the previous version.
- Other than a gold option and Touch ID, the iPad Mini 3 is identical to its predecessor. It lacks the processor and camera upgrade of its big brother, the Air 2, and it's still priced at the high end for midsize tablets.
Apple iPad mini 3 review
For the past few years, most of the technology world has ruled by a cold, hard truth: to get the best thing, you pretty much had to get the biggest thing . Every Android phone was bigger than the last, and the smaller ones were always disappointing. Apple, though, staunchly resisted this trend.- iPad app ecosystem
- Strong battery life
- Beautiful hardware
- Last year's screen
- Last year's processor
- Last year's camera
The iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 review
The iPad Air 2 is Apple's most powerful tablet yet, and is incredibly thin and light. It's a solid upgrade over last year's Air, and should definitely be one of your top tablet considerations.- Beautiful
- thin aluminum design
- Incredibly powerful A8X chip
- Touch ID included
- Upgraded camera
- Touch ID now comes included
- Long battery life
- Good performance
- Battery life could be better
- Some will miss the mute switch
- Only a couple of upgrades
- Commands a $100 premium over last year's model
Apple iPad Mini 3: Premium Price for a Not-So-Premium Product
What can I say about the iPad mini 3 that hasn't already been said? No, seriously, what can I say? Apple's latest mini is essentially the same product as the first iPad Mini With Retina display with exactly four upgrades, only three of which are significant.
