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 No 3D Touch display. 16GB capacity will be too small for most users. 1.2 MP iPad FaceTime camera feels outdated.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
Pricey, Lock/orientation switch is gone, Design is starting to get old

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-...

Among the best compact tablets you can buy—if money is no object—the iPad Mini 4 is now a true, almost-no-compromise small alternative to the iPad Air 2. Read More…...

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...

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...

The most interesting feature of the Apple iPad Mini 4 is the new operating system iOS 9. The ninth version of the Apple OS not only introduces several new and useful features, it also seems to have a positive effect on the overall performance, which is co...

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...

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...
