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 No 3D Touch display. 16GB capacity will be too small for most users. 1.2 MP iPad FaceTime camera feels outdated.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
Not quite as powerful as iPad Pro 9.7, no screen improvements, only available in 128GB, shorter battery life than predecessors
The iPad mini 4 is a great little tablet that comes in at a price that reflects its quality and capabilities. It looks gorgeous, is a breeze to use and leaves little to be desired. It's a shame that it hasn't been updated since September 2015, though.Tags...

Which budget-friendly iPad 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 £339 instead of £419; bear in mind, however, that you're saving £80 because it comes with less storage. Still, you...

In many ways, the iPad mini remains the small tablet to beat. The performance enhancements in this version keep it ahead of its competitors, and iOS 9 is now well ahead of Android as a tablet operating system for most people. The quality of third-party ap...
