Faster and with a better screen, Apple's iPad Mini 4 was the definitive small tablet - but is it still unrivalled?

iPad mini 4 is lighter, smaller, easier to use and the photos are clearer than my original iPad.i am very pleased with it.

Replaced my original iPad Mini with latest model and am impressed with speed, display quality and battery life. Hard to understand how this can be improved on. I still think this is the most useful size of iPad for all round use. (I also have iPad Air and iPhone but use mini the most).

This is an excellent product. Especially, I am happy about its battery life. In one charge I can easily use it for atlas 2 days. Charging is also quick. The processor is also fast.
