The editors didn't like

  • 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

  • Shorter battery life than the iPad mini 2 in our battery benchmark test

  • Last year's processor
  • Last year's camera

  • 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...

  • Touch ID sensor, High-quality retina screen, Great size for reading, As good as any
  • Limited upgrade over iPad Mini 2, Last year's specs offer little incentive to upgrade, Entry-level model's 16GB of storage doesn't cut it
  • If you've made it this far, you've probably noticed that there's almost no incentive to buy the iPad Mini 3. In fact, it's a much better deal to buy the second-generation Mini instead, since Apple cut its price by $100. You can get an iPad Mini 2 with 32...

  • If you want a small-screen tablet, it's still hard to beat the iPad mini. The first edition is now highly affordable, last year's model is good value and the new version is the most attractive yet, with the arrival of Touch ID, the fingerprint sensor.And...

  • 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....

  • Amazing display, excellent battery life, fast processor, great 3D graphics, easy to use, app store still number one for quality and variety
  • The addition of TouchID and gold colour option just doesn't seem to justify such a premium over the iPad mini 2; cameras and processor not improved in line with other iPads
  • Apple originally took its landmark miniature tablet and made it significantly better. There's no doubt the iPad mini 3 is the best small tablet on the market, and should budget not be a primary factor in a buying decision then it's the device to go for w...

  • Great, sharp finish, TouchID
  • Not much upgrade, Same as last year in nearly every way, Poor power, High price considering
  • This is last year's tablet with Touch ID and a new colour - as we don't know how quickly Apple Pay is going to spread, it's hard to find a reason to recommend this tablet...

  • Sleek design, Good app access, Touch ID for security
  • Too similar to mini 2, Pricey compared to last year, Not as powerful as Air 2
  • Apple knows how to make a cracking tablet, and we loved the iPad mini 2 when it launched last year. It offered all the power of the Air in a smaller form factor, and while it wasn't cheap, it was awesome.But seeing it reproduced almost identically 12 mont...
