Replacement for old one that had sadly given up so easy to use, quickly installed all previous apps etc. Biggest bonus was how quickly was delivered, 2 days before was expected!!

Among the best compact tablets you can buy-if money is no object-the iPad Mini 4 is now a true, almost-no-compromise small alternative to the iPad Air 2.

Screen is as good as you'll find on a compact tablet; Improved rear camera; Closer in performance to full-size iPads than the Mini 3 was

Pricey for a compact tablet; Costly relative to Apple's own previous-gen (and still-available) Air and Mini iPads; Rotation-lock switch relegated to software; As ever; no storage expansion via MicroSD

Apple hasn't revolutionised the iPad Mini with this fourth model but it's certainly one of the best sub-10-inch tablets you can buy right now. A desirable combination of slick performance and longevity, combined with some serious media chops, make the Mini 4 a solid choice for almost any user.

Super thin and light; Slick performance; Great battery life

Sep 25 2015 - Apple's 4th generation iPad Mini received many of the updates that it should have last year when they released the iPad Mini 3. The tablet is now thinner thanks to the laminated glass display which also greatly helps improve the display especially outdoors.

The iPad Mini 4 replaces the iPad mini 3 and with it closes the book on one of Apple's laziest upgrades in recent years. Overshadowed by huge advancements with the iPad Air 2, last year's iPad mini 3 struggled to find its place in the range, coming across as a device that was neither top-of-the-tree...

Smaller and slimmer design; decent performance; Touch ID fingerprint scanner; anti-reflective screen

Screen is a bit small for Split View in iOS 9; not as powerful as the iPad Air 2; iPad mini 2 far cheaper

I happen to love Apple, I like the way the apps work and I use it for the apps only and not for file storage so for me my only gripe is that Costco does not sell the cellular options... little strange that Costco sells cheaper then apple.

Contradictory claims have been made about the iPad Mini 4. This tablet is thinner and lighter than the model that precedes it, and yet it is faster and more powerful. Tweaks to the display make it better at viewing content, and although the battery has gone on a substantial diet, Apple claims it'll...

Excellent build quality; Fast computing hardware; Anti-reflective screen; Improved cameras; Touch ID biometric finger scanner

Expensive; Battery drains quick under heavy use

Overall, the iPad mini 4 is a very good device, and a return to form of sorts for the mini line. It still lags behind the iPad Air 2 in a number of ways, but for those who prefer the mini's smaller form factor, it's an appealing tablet.

The thinner, lighter design is even easier to hold than past iPad minis; A more powerful processor boots up the iPad and opens apps faster; Rear iSight camera has been upgraded to 8MP, with slo-mo video recording and burst mode shooting; Colors are sharper and more accurate in updated display.

Still often feels like a step down from iPad Air 2; No 3D Touch display; 16GB capacity will be too small for most users; 1.2 MP iPad FaceTime camera feels outdated; The design has been tweaked enough that old iPad mini cases won't fit.

For an Apple product, this is definitely an investment. It came quickly and with the extra products added (like the carrying case and stand). I've had no problems booting it up and using it, it holds a charge for a long time and syncs up beautifully with my iPhone SE whenever I need to e-mail...

Look and work great, kids are gonna love the Christmas presents. Purchased them online and got them delivered to the door fast. Most other places couldn't supply this model iPads let alone Price and peace of mind!
