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

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.

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.
Pros:
  • Powerful and yet small tablet
  • High resolution 'retina display
  • Touch ID
Cons:
  • Hardware is a year old
  • Expensive

Apple iPad mini 3 review: A touch of gold

The iPad Air 2 may have stolen all the spotlight, but that's not because of poor marketing planning. Apple did little to change the third generation of the iPad mini so it got little stage time. But it's not our job to decide which product gets the most fanfare.
Pros:
  • Metal unibody, 7.5mm slim, 331g of weight, Optional LTE connectivity (Cat
  • 4, 150Mbps downlink, 7.9" 1,536 x 2,048 LED-backlit IPS LCD with 324 ppi pixel density, Apple iOS 8, Dual-core 1.3 GHz Apple A7 chipset, M7 motion co-processor, PowerVR GX6430 GPU, 1GB of RAM, 5MP autofocus camera,...
Cons:
  • No microSD slot
  • Pricey memory upgrades
  • 32GB version should have been standard
  • No NFC connectivity
  • Apple Pay has limited functionality
  • Apple iOS 8 still relies on iTunes for music and file transfers

iPad Mini 3 performs mostly as expected

Following a couple of weeks of use, the iPad Mini 3 performs mostly as expected. (See Notes)1. For my use, I prefer the smaller size. My wife has the iPad Air that I used for a while to compare. 2. I like how the Unit communicates with my iPhone 5.
