Apple iPad mini (16GB/32GB/64GB)
One of the major challenges Apple has faced over the past several years has been an inability of both critics and consumers to fully grasp the importance of devices it releases in new form factors-until something, perhaps their unexpected popularity, clicks conceptually and begins to make sense.- A smaller and much easier to carry sequel to the iPad 2, benefitting from newer industrial design elements and technologies introduced in the fifth-generation iPod touch
- Generally very solid build quality and highly attractive fit and finish, relying on thin but strong glass painted in either black...
- Battery on Wi-Fi model falls modestly short of Apple's 10-hour claim under some circumstances
- cellular run time similarly falls below 9-hour estimate. Base $329 price tag is a little high, especially considering the additional expense of Lightning accessories and Apple's decision to pack in an...
In the moment that the iPad mini was announced to feature a starting price point of $330, we were left wondering in confusion as to why? Factoring in its hardware specs and all, it would lead anyone to believe that this latest iPad is rather over-bloated at $330, which is still seen as a...
- Super skinny construction
- Takes good photos & videos for a tablet
- Stellar battery life
- Low resolution display
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.

The iPad Mini is one of the few new product lines that Apple has unveiled this year, yet it's really just an incredibly shrunken-down redesign of the iPad 2. It's a perfect size and weight, and works exactly as advertised: it's a truly portable iPad with excellent battery life and nearly no...- The iPad Mini's ultra-thin and light design is far more intimate than the larger iPad
- Offers a full iPad experience
- The screen's dimensions elegantly display larger-format magazines and apps
- Costs too much comparatively
- The A5 processor isn't as robust as the one in the fourth-gen iPad and iPhone 5
- Typing on the smaller screen is not quite as comfy
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.- Outstanding design and build quality
- Excellent battery life
- Fantastic apps ecosystem
- Non-retina display
- Some smaller UI elements
- Expensive
iPad Mini review
The iPad Mini is exactly what its name suggests it is – a smaller iPad. With a good build, decent screen and specs, and a solid ecosystem behind it, there's no doubt that it's a compelling device. Price will, undoubtedly, be a factor for many.
Review: Apple iPad Mini
For the past few years, Apple has set the pace in the tablet market. With Amazon's Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus 7 gaining a firm foothold in compact tablets, however, Apple has found itself falling behind. Now it's hitting back with its own compact slate: the 7.9in iPad mini.
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.- + 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
- - Low resolution screen can be bothersome from close viewing distances
- - Pricey
- - iOS is boring
First look: Apple iPad mini
The iPad mini doesn't arrive in stores until November 2, but our US colleagues got to spend some time with one after Apple's media event at the California Theater in San Jose. Their conclusion: Yes, it's a small iPad-but there's more (and less) to it than that. Here are their hands-on impressions.
Apple iPad mini review Review
The iPad mini is a 7.9-inch version of Apple's popular iPad, and offers a polished tablet experience in a smaller package. It's too expensive however, and its display resolution doesn't measure up to competing tablets, or other iOS devices.- Ultra-thin and light
- Handles ebooks and iPad apps well
- Camera
- storage and optional 4G make for a full iPad experience
- Over £100 more expensive than rivals
- Low-resolution display
- A5 processor isn't particularly quick
