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 No 3D Touch display. 16GB capacity will be too small for most users. 1.2 MP iPad FaceTime camera feels outdated.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
If this was the iPad mini launched alongside the Air 2, it would have been an easy five stars. However, even with a year in between, it still performs very well for a smaller slate...

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...
Abstract: The Mini 4 (left) is much slimmer and slightly taller than the Mini 2 and 3. Photo: Tim BiggsPhysically the device is very similar to what we've seen in the past, although it is 30-40 grams lighter, a smidge taller and a millimetre-and-a-half thinner than...

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...
Great performance, Decent battery life, Apple Pencil support
Dated design, Average cameras
The iPad mini lives on in a very capable package that includes the blazingly fast A12 chip. It's the cheapest hardware with Apple's latest processor.The ageing design is a downside, but this iPad design is a certified classic and we don't think it'll put...
There was a time when we feared that Apple wouldn't update the iPad mini and that, the horror, the iPad mini would be discontinued. There were suggestions that because the screen size of iPhones was getting bigger there was less demand for the smaller siz...

The mini 4 is too old; the Pro is too expensive. Unless you urgently need the smallest possible tablet (get the mini) or a super-powered tablet that can support the second-gen Apple Pencil (get a 2018 Pro), you should compromise on a middle path and get t...
Which of these ‘budget' iPad options is best for you? If budget really is the be-all and end-all, the iPad 2017 is your best bet, because it starts at £319 instead of £399. However, as we said above - that £80 saving can partly be attributed to the fact t...
