The editors didn't like

  • Pricey
  • Lock/orientation switch is gone
  • Design is starting to get old

  • The hardware mute/rotation lock switch is missed
  • Cases and covers from older Minis often won't work with this one

  • Rotation-lock switch relegated to software

  • 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 No 3D Touch display. 16GB capacity will be too small for most users. 1.2 MP iPad FaceTime camera feels outdated.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

  • 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-...

  • Vibrant screen, iOS 9 is great for multitasking, Solid performance, Respectable battery life
  • Rotation lock switch is gone, Still less powerful than the iPad Air 2, Base model only has 16GB of storage
  • After a yearlong wait, we finally have a properly upgraded iPad Mini. While it adopted the iPad Air 2's super-slim aesthetic and got a similarly great screen, the iPad Mini 4 makes do with Apple's dual-core A8 chipset. Performance is remarkably solid, th...

  • Stunning, colorful display, Faster performance and better camera, iOS 9 multitasking
  • Old cases won't fit, Lackluster speakers, Jony Ive can't let go of chamfered edges
  • More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...

  • Apple hasn't revolutionised the iPad Mini with this fourth model but it's certainly one of the best sub-10-inch tablets you can buy right now. A desirable combination of slick performance and longevity, combined with some serious media chops, make the Min...

  • Apple's new iPad mini 4 is too tall for older iPad mini cases, so we'll be seeing a whole new slew of cases for the device. The first is Apple's own iPad mini 4 Silicone Case ($59). Unlike the company's past Smart Case for iPad mini, Silicone Case is a mo...

  • Ultra-compact, ultra-portable tablet, Laminated, high color-gamut Retina display, Apple A8 performance, Incredible build quality
  • Big screen, big experience, Access to Apple Pen or Smart Keyboard, Apple A9 performance, Low, low pricing
  • Many are going to say the iPad mini 4 is what the iPad mini 3 was meant to be. That sounds like a cliche because it is. It took engineering time to get almost everything from the iPad Air 2 distilled down to 7.9 inches. To get the higher color gamut, lami...
