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

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.
