Pros:
  • pricey compared to 7-inch tablets
  • no Retina display
  • no HDR or panorama options for camera
  • beautiful design
  • great battery life
  • fits in one hand
Cons:
  • pricey compared to 7-inch tablets
  • no Retina display
  • no HDR or panorama options for camera

iPad Mini Australian Review: Shetland Tablet

Forget the headlines and exit the hype train at the next station. The iPad mini is here and it's not the shining beacon we all expected it to be, but it damn-well got close.

Despite what Steve Jobs so vehemently declared, has just released a smaller version of the iPad.  Well, I guess technically Steve said Apple would never release a 7″ tablet, and the iPad mini is a 7.9″ tablet, so Apple didn't quite make a liar out of him.
Pros:
  • Very small and light
  • Compatible with all iPad apps
  • Sturdy and well-built
  • Small enough to fit in a pocket
  • but big enough to comfortably read
  • Cheaper than previous versions of the iPad
  • Two speakers for better
  • louder sound
Cons:
  • Doesn't have a Retina display
  • Smart Cover for the mini costs as much as the original Smart Cover

The first time I saw the iPad mini at an Apple Store, I decided to give it a pass. I already had a third-generation iPad with Retina Display and buying a smaller iPad did not make sense. Thankfully, a friend asked me to pick one for him and let me play around with it till I returned to India.

Review: iPad Mini

Verdict Consumers have come to expect excellence from Apple products. While the iPad Mini excels as a physical example of design, its technology is now severely dated and it brings little new to the table.
