High price point
Are all things we can live with
Without regretting the purchase
That's why this is a very solid slate. The iPad Mini Retina gets from us a 9.6 out of 10 for design
A 9.7 for hardware and a 9.5 out of 10 for OS and UI. The final grade is a 9.6 out of 10
IOS 7 is still a little rough around the edges on this and every iPad
Air gap between glass and LCD keeps screen from being as good as it could be
Features like Touch ID will have to wait until next year at the earliest
Scattered reports indicate that
Some other great performing tablets cost less
Harder to use one handed than smaller
7inch tablets
Android and Amazon tablets -- and even Windows laptops -- are available for less. Base model includes only 16GB of non-expandable storage. It's missing the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and split-screen feature found on newer iPads
Lacks Touch ID
Colors not as saturated as on iPad Air
Pricier than most small tablets
Needs more system RAM
So-so camera performance
Very pricey for the segment
No Touch ID fingerprint sensor
Not the latest Apple tech. Not as easy to hold with a single hand as narrower small-screen tablets
Camera not as good as on iPhones
No Touch ID fingerprint detector
Like on previous-gen iPads
Is glare-prone
Thin-sounding audio
Less-than-ideal speaker positioning
Expensive even for basic version
Can't expand on storage
Not the latest Apple tech. Not as easy to hold with a single hand as narrower smallscreen tablets
Expensive
Priceysimilar sized and specced tablets go for closer to $200. Stereo speakers both located on one end of the device. Would be nice if it had better networking capabilities
New 326 PPI Retina display matches past iPads in resolution but falls noticeably short in color performance
Some screens also have image retention issues. Larger battery adds slightly to thickness and weight of original iPad mini. A7 processor speed matc
Speaker placement isn't the best
iOS 7 is in need of further tablet optimization
Moderately expensive
Just big enough to not fit in some jacket pockets
IOS 7 has problems
Expensive for a small tablet
I miss the black color
Display is slightly less bright than the iPad Air. Colors look washed out when compared to iPad Air and iPhone 5s/5c
Especially for storage upgrades and the cellular model. Display color gamut is lacking.
The iPad mini with Retina display is a fabulous tablet. The screen is excellent and more than worth the minimal weight gain. Performance is also excellent, and the 64-bit processor makes this much more future-proof than the original iPad mini. The higher...
Abstract: Apple's only just pulled the wrappers off of its spanking new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c . But already attention has turned to the much-vaunted iPad mini 2. Expected to be given the official nod this week after Apple sent out invites for a 22 October event, ...

Stunning Retina display, Speed performance, Size and weight for daily use
Price, No Touch ID
At £319 for the 16GB, cellular-free, model, the iPad Mini Retina isn't cheap, especially compared to its rivals. Things get almost MacBook-like at the top-end, with the 128GB/4G model setting you back £659.But if, like us, the size and feel of the Mini is...

Abstract: At last Apple has launched the iPad mini. But it is possible for a question to a rise ask ing whether this 7.9 inch tablet is up to the levels. Although the most recent tablets like the Nexus 7 have a 7 inch display the lovers of Apple will be eager to he...
Excellent Build Quality and Premium Finish, Lot of tablet specific applications, Top notch performance, Excellent battery life
On the expensive side, Lack of expandable storage, Camera lacks flash and isn't great for lowlight performance, iOS 7 feels boring and same throughout,
Overall, the iPad Mini with Retina display is a great upgrade over the original iPad Mini. The iPad Mini with Retina display comes with one of the best processors from Apple – A7 and combines it with M7 co-processor. On the performance front, it is def...

Abstract: Listen, I don't have the greatest history when it comes to tablet relationships. We have… a checkered past . I was pitched on this fabled third device long ago, but I can't help but feel that we've all been hoodwinked. I've found myself maximally producti...
Ever since we saw the original Apple iPad mini, we've been hoping for a Retina screen for this wonderful compact tablet. Now that it has it, it's everything we expected it to be. A high-quality screen with immaculate sharpness makes a world of difference...

Last year's iPad mini was a near-perfect device save for one flaw-that muddy display-that made it nearly unusable. This year's has not only fixed that, it's paired the result with iOS 7, an operating system that is, regardless of whatever else you might t
I haven't mentioned the price yet because things should stand on their own merit, everyone's got different budgets, etc. etc. Allow me to mention it now. I do not like the price. I find the price unnerving. The price is very much more than a price I would
The only reasons not to buy an iPad mini-assuming youd like to buy a tablet in the first place-are matters of personal preference and bankroll. Can you afford to spend $500 (lets be honest, 16GB isnt gonna cut it these days, and the 32GB model is a $10...
