  • And the addition of Touch ID takes care of our biggest complaint from the previous version
  • Beautifully built. Fast. Sharp screen. Excellent app options.
  • Still great

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
  • WLAN connection sometimes with signal issues
  • Proprietary connector
  • Only LTE Cat. 3

  • Gorgeous design, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, new gold colour option, more affordable 64GB model
  • Almost identical to the now £80 cheaper iPad mini 2, misses out on iPad Air 2's great processor & specs
  • The iPad mini 3 is by no means a bad tablet. In fact, it's a rather great one, but it's a bit of a rotten deal. We'd find it difficult to recommend buying the iPad mini 3 when the iPad mini 2 is available for £80 less and is almost exactly the same, and t...

  • Abstract:  It seems like a strange comparison - a phone and a tablet - but not really. The iPhone 6 Plus is massive for a smartphone, and the iPad mini 3 is tiny for a tablet, so do you really need both and, if not, which is best? We compare the specs in our iPhone ...

  • Overall, while the iPad mini 3 is a great tablet, we'd strongly recommend that you consider buying an iPad mini 2 instead to save your pennies. We're quite disappointed with the iPad mini 3 and we certainly don't think that the Touch ID alone is worth the...

  • The best small tablet experience, Touch ID for unlock and iTunes, Gorgeous build, stunning Retina screen, All-day battery life
  • The Mini 2 is now much better value, No spec bumps like the iPad Air 2, Non expandable, no 32GB, Slightly inferior colours next to Air 2
  • Open Gallery This is essentially an iPad Mini 2s or more accurately still, an iPad Mini 2 with Touch ID. The changes are comically minimal and the most interesting new features are available via a software update to iOS 8.1 if you have a last-g...

  • Stylish design, Touch ID, Good screen
  • Underpowered, Very similar to mini 2, Expensive
  • The iPad mini 2 is Apple's best mini yet, but it's too similar to last year's model and substantially worse than the iPad Air 2...

  • Great size, good screen, TouchID integrated
  • Same as last year, iPad mini 2 offers far better value for money
  • Put simply the iPad mini 3 demands an extra £80 for TouchID and the option to choose the gold colour finish. That's a significant premium over the iPad mini 2, which is the better buy. If you like the idea of the iPad mini's sub-8-inch screen size t...
