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.

High-quality display; smooth, fast performance; thin and light; excellent build and design
Expensive for a small tablet; lacks Touch ID
The addition of the Retina screen is a real boost to the 8in tablet range from Apple, and it's impressive that battery life hasn't been impacted. But the cost and lack of security features are a downside....
Stunning screen, Fast performance, Premium design, Fantastic app selection
Expensive
That said, with this screen and performance, not to mention the app advantage over Android rivals, it's pretty hard to fault the iPad Mini. It's the best sub-8in tablet on the market. ...
Abstract: It might look the same as the original, but the second-generation iPad mini has some serious upgrades. The screen is the most obvious: the high resolution brings all the sharpness and clarity we've come to expect from Retina-equipped iPads. See also: iPad...
Apple has stuck with the same design as last year’s iPad mini, which in itself is a departure from the tapered look of previous iPads – and it’s still as impressive as when it was first revealed. It’s a slimline and lightweight slate that feels solid in the hand thanks to the premium build quality, and it weighs hardly anything. It's the more portable flavour of iPad, and works just as well out a
Tablets are not exactly known for their brilliant sound quality, and the new iPad mini is no exception either. The stereo speakers included on the mini will certainly make do for occasional listening, but they’re not as loud as the pair found on the iPad Air, and they’re also positioned awkwardly. When using the mini, it’s easy to cover up the speakers when held on its side such as when you’re pl
Many of you screamed for an iPad mini with a Retina display, and now Apple has delivered. It’s an improvement on last year’s iPad mini in every way possible, but we can’t help but think it’s still a little on the pricey side. With rivals like the Nexus...

Nonexpandable memory, Speaker location, Proprietary Lightning port
Whereas the first iPad Mini was a notch or two below its full-size counterpart, the iPad 4, the iPad Mini with Retina display truly is a "mini" version of the iPad Air. It's powerful, versatile thanks to iOS 7 and the now-free iSoftware suites, and has a ...
