The editors didn't like

  • Minimal updates over last model
  • Relatively pricey
  • Slower performance than competitors
  • Soft speakers
  • Mediocre cameras
  • No improvement in display or camera
  • $100 more expensive than its predecessor
  • Which is near the same device
  • No improvement in weight
  • Other than a gold option and Touch ID
  • The iPad Mini 3 is identical to its predecessor. It lacks the processor and camera upgrade of its big brother
  • The Air 2
  • And it's still priced at the high end for midsize tablets
  • Pricey. Few reasons to buy over the less-expensive
  • Still-available iPad mini 2
  • You should save your cash and get the iPad Mini 2
  • Not a compelling value for many buyers
  • With iPad Mini 2 at $100 less
  • No longer the Air's equal. Same chassis as before. No antireflective screen
  • No notable changes with the hardware
  • $399 cost doesn't seem appropriate given the changes
  • The display's brightness output is less than the iPad mini 2
  • Shorter battery life than the iPad mini 2 in our battery benchmark test
  • Last year's screen
  • Last year's processor
  • Last year's camera
  • Hardly any new features
  • Sometimes very small controls
  • Depending on the configuration very high price
  • No 802.11ac WLAN

  • Proprietary connector
  • Only LTE Cat. 3

  • It makes little sense to run down everything in Apple's iPad mini 3 ($399-$729) that's the same as what you'll find in last year's iPad mini with Retina display — a model that thankfully was renamed "iPad mini 2." Why? Because almost everything's the same...

  • As we try to think dearly about Apple's intent with the iPad mini 3, we're still having trouble rationalizing the reasoning behind its $400 cost. In all fairness, it's a pricey investment considering that the only notable new addition is the Touch ID fing...

  • The iPad mini 3 is just as good as its predecessor, but its lack of feature upgrades doesn't justify its price and places it behind the Air 2 in specs. Unless you love Apple's fingerprint sensor and Apple Pay, you may want to opt for last year's model in...

  • The value in upgrading to the iPad mini 2 from the original was clear; the improvements in stepping up to the iPad mini 3 from its predecessor are more granular. That's not so much a critique of the new model as it is recognition that the iPad mini 2 simp...
