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.
Pros:
  • Great size
  • good screen
  • TouchID integrated
Cons:
  • Same as last year
  • iPad mini 2 offers far better value for money

Apple iPad mini 3 review

The iPad mini 3 is a great tablet in almost every way, and if that verdict sounds familiar, it's because that was our conclusion about the iPad mini 2. Apart from the Touch ID fingerprint reader and the option of a gold-coloured back, there's no difference between the two models.

  • fingerprint sensor
  • good battery life
  • solid build
Cons:
  • barely any change from last year
  • expensive
  • no expandable storage
  • square screen

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

The Mini 3 is futureproof thanks to fingerprint scanning but makes the iPad Mini 2 too much of a bargain to ignore

  • 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

Nov 25 2013 - The iPad Mini with Retina display is such a huge improvement over the original that it is hard to use the new one and even consider looking at the older one. In essence, Apple has taken all the things they did with the iPad Air and then offered them in the smaller tablet and with a...
