The iPad mini is an exceptionally built tablet with a fantastic app library, but it's let down by a less than stellar display

"Every inch an iPad". That's Apple's marketing punchline for its smallest, lightest and newest iPad, the iPad mini . Claiming to offer all the features of the traditional, larger iPad, the iPad mini packs a 7.9in display into a superbly crafted body.
Pros:
  • Outstanding design and build quality
  • Excellent battery life
  • Fantastic apps ecosystem
Cons:
  • Non-retina display
  • Some smaller UI elements
  • Expensive

iPad mini In Depth: Thin, Light & Charming

There has been some initial discussion here at TMO whether the iPad mini would, at some point, be a better seller than the standard size iPads. Others have also speculated about this. At first, I thought it might do so over the next year.
Pros:
  • Very thin, very light, easy to hold in one hand, 10 hour battery life, awesome fit and finish
  • Beautiful, magical to handle.
Cons:
  • No Retina display
  • iSight camera suspect
  • Corners cut on power adapter
  • Some iPhone apps at 2x may not look great.

iPad Mini Review

by Brandon Miniman At long last, our wishes of a smaller and lighter iPad have come to fruition. The iPad 3 and 4 are great products, but they're heavy and thick, and because of this, exhausting to use for a long period of time. Apple has done a lot right to be the leader in tablets.
Pros:
  • + Incredible build quality
  • + Remarkably thin and light
  • + Access to a plethora of quality apps
  • + Outstanding battery life
  • + Great display
  • despite low-resolution
  • + Snappy performance
  • + Plenty of cellular data options
Cons:
  • - Low resolution screen can be bothersome from close viewing distances
  • - Pricey
  • - iOS is boring

iPad mini Review

Battery Life The iPad mini, like the iPhone 5 and 4th generation Retina iPad has the new 8 pin Lightning connector rather than the old 30 pin dock connector. You can still use old chargers and analog audio accessories if you purchase Apple's Lightning to 30 pin adapter.

Apple iPad mini review

An outstanding compact tablet, beautifully designed and with great battery life. Apple has done a great job with the iPad mini, although it we do feel that the pricing is not as competitive as it could be.
