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

  • One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy....

  • Abstract:  A little more than a week ago, Apple pushed out its third iOS 8 update, an update that the company naturally called iOS 8.0.2 . Over the past week, we've spent quality time with iOS 8.0.2 on iPad mini with Retina Display and today, we want to take a look ...

  • Yes, the iPad mini 3 is essentially the same as last year's model, but that means it's also a great tablet. In reflecting on why the iPad mini 3 had suddenly inspired an interest in tablets where none had previously existed, I realized it came down to tru...

  • Battery, life camera
  • None, from $569
  • With the holidays fast approaching, the iPad mini 4 will be a popular gift, maybe even for yourself. If you own an older iPad—especially if it's over two years old—you'll be very satisfied with the iPad mini 4 as an upgrade. It's fast, sports a great-look...

  • All of Apple's tablets are great performers. Having five different models – in various sizes, both Wi-Fi only and with cellular – makes them more accessible than ever, since the price points range from $299 for the original iPad mini all the way to $1019 ...

  • Abstract:  iPad Air 2 is now the thinnest and most powerful iOS device.How do you make a better iOS tablet than the iPad Air? In terms of doing what it's designed to do, last year's model (and, arguably, even the one before it) were pretty much as good as you could ...
