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 No 3D Touch display. 16GB capacity will be too small for most users. 1.2 MP iPad FaceTime camera feels outdated.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: Once seen as the future of the iPad, the iPad mini is now a lower-priority device, losing ground to oversized smartphones on one side, and bigger tablets that double as PCs on the other. Too bad, then, that the best iPad mini by far is launching to an inc...

The Apple iPad mini 4 is a top-notch small-screen tablet with unparalleled build quality and app support, but it's still hard to justify the jump in price over the iPad mini 2...
No 3D Touch, no significant upgrade to the front camera, no hardware mute/screen rotation lock slide switch
While a worthy upgrade over its predecessor, the iPad Mini 4 is all about making it better, rather than the top of Apple's tablet lineup. With tablet sales on the decline, Apple seems to be hedging its bet by offering cutting edge processors and best in c...
As Apple idles the iPad Air line for 2015 in favour of the up and coming iPad Pro, the iPad mini 4 becomes the most desirable mini tablet for the rest of us.With a slimmed down profile, a stunning new laminated display and more powerful processor, RAM, gr...

Beautifully designed with impressive build quality, Significantly more powerful than the iPad mini 1/2, High-quality display, Battery life is impressive, Perfect size for gaming and portability, iOS still has the best games/apps
Not that significant of an upgrade over the iPad mini 3, iPad Air 2 costs only about $100 more, 16GB base storage is still too low, Camera performance isn't on par with the iPhone
Abstract: The new laminated display, which was introduced with iPad Air 2, now makes images pop even more on iPad mini 4 and viewing the display outdoors is way less painful than with previous versions.The iPad mini 4 has been slimmed down and powered up. Apple's s...

Delight to use, stacks of storage, very well developed, works beautifully in Apple ecosystem, slim
Large iOS updates, app store functions split between iPhone and iPad, some Apple things like CarPlay don't work
Do note, if you want to get into iPadding at the lowest possible price and you don't envisage needing lots of space of media, you might want to consider going to the full sized current model iPad with its 9.7 inch screen. The 32GB model is $469, or a full...
