The editors didn't like
Pricey
Lock/orientation switch is gone
Design is starting to get old
Doesn't actually fit the performance of the now-year-old iPad Air 2 into a Mini-sized body
The hardware mute/rotation lock switch is missed
Cases and covers from older Minis often won't work with this one
Big screen
Big experience
Access to Apple Pen or Smart Keyboard
Apple A9 performance
Low
Low pricing
Unimpressive audio quality
No microSD card slot
No 3D Touch
No significant upgrade to the front camera
No hardware mute/screen rotation lock slide switch
IOS 9 a bit glitchy (for now)
No microSD still
Pricey for a compact tablet
Costly relative to Apple's own previous-gen (and still-available) Air and Mini iPads
Rotation-lock switch relegated to software
As ever
No storage expansion via MicroSD
Price is high for an 8-inch tablet. Slower graphics mean some apps and games don't feel as zippy. Small screen makes for cramped typing and multitasking
Expensive
Occasional minor performance issues in testing
More expensive than competition
Little else
Still often feels like a step down from iPad Air 2. No 3D Touch display. 16GB capacity will be too small for most users. 1.2 MP iPad FaceTime camera feels outdated. The design has been tweaked enough that old iPad mini cases won't fit. Smaller battery mee
Battery life is long
But remains unimproved over previous models
Pricey compared to market competition
Still light with the camera shooting modes and controls
Abstract: For many people, the tablet era began in 2010 with the launch of the original 9.7-inch iPad. But tablet devices have a much longer history than that. For example, I recall seeing Bill Gates show off the first prototype Windows tablet at Comdex in Las Vega...
Abstract: Apple recently lowered the price of the 128GB iPad mini 4 knocking $100 off the price while also introducing a new 9.7-inch iPad at an amazing introductory price of $329. However, does the new lower cost of the 128GB iPad mini 4 make it a compelling purch...
Thinner & lighter design, Improved battery life, Brighter & more color accurate Retina Display, iOS 9 brings real multitasking, Smooth overall responsiveness
Still light with the camera shooting modes and controls, No 4K video capture or slomo at 1080p, Pricey cost
Anyone looking for a compact sized tablet will be delighted by what the iPad mini 4 brings to the table. It's premium in its construction, nearly flawless with its processing performance, and all the new goodies included with iOS 9 undeniably elevates it...

Abstract: I wondered, though, does all this new speed – and RAM – matter for daily use? I moved to the iPad mini 4 right around the time iOS 9 was released and hadn't had any long-term experience with iOS 9 on my previous model. With that I recently went back to th...

It's clear why this is a tough decision, since both devices are so similar in many ways. They both have similar displays and iOS 9 and TouchWiz have common features. But the design is a bit different, addressing a different type of customers (premium vs p...

Great display, Premium design, Good cameras, Multitasking, Reasonable battery life
Only 16GB storage for the base model, No microSD storage, A bit expensive, Performance is a bit under iPad Air 2, Audio quality could be improved
This year we got (at last) a good iPad Mini, there are a lot of great and improved features and although it has been claimed to be a shrunken iPad Air 2, it clearly isn't, hardware-wise it's quite different.So, if you want a good, lightweight tablet, with...

The iPad Mini 4 makes the most of iOS 9 and has a number of welcome upgrades, but its high price will have some skipping straight up to larger iPad Air models...

The iPad mini 4 is very much like a shrunken down iPad Air 2. This makes it a very potent little tablet that pretty much blows away the competition in just about every regard. Everything from its design, build quality, display quality, performance, camera...
I wasn't very excited about the iPad Mini 3 when Apple announced it last year, as it was just the iPad Mini 2 with Touch ID while the iPad Air 2 was a substantial upgrade from the iPad Air in many ways. The iPad Mini 4 represents an update on the same sca...
