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 No 3D Touch display. 16GB capacity will be too small for most users. 1.2 MP iPad FaceTime camera feels outdated.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
Image 3 of 14After the slightly disappointing iPad Mini 3, Apple is back on form with the iPad Mini 4, which is hands-down the best small tablet that you can buy. If you're looking for a bit of a bargain, the iPad Mini 2 is still available. The screen's n...

Robust build quality, Fast and accurate Touch ID fingerprint sensor, Spoton responsiveness and performance, Great quality screen, Thinner and lighter than ever
Outdone by the competition when it comes to battery life
A great 8in tablet, but Apple needs to put a little more work into battery life...
Abstract: The iPad Mini 3 stuck out like a sore thumb during its year-long existence. Whereas the iPad Mini 2 was the equal of the original iPad Air in every way but size, the iPad Mini 3 lagged behind the iPad Air 2. Apart from its Touch ID fingerprint sensor, it...
Great size for media and games, iPad apps are the best, Looks and feels lovely, Fast
Expensive, iOS needs more tablet additions
iPad Mini 4 – Camera The iPad Mini 4 has a camera on the rear, and although the 8-megapixel iSight unit with an f/2.4 aperture is perfectly adequate, I'm going to take a guess and say that the smartphone in your pocket can probably do a much better job. P...

iPad mini 4 is more portable, is cheaper and has no camera bump, iPad Pro 9.7 has a better screen, overall performance, better audio, alongside Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard support
iPad mini 4 is slower, has lowerend specs, and doesn't have Apple Pencil nor Smart Keyboard support, iPad Pro 9.7 is heavier, not as portable and is more expensive
The iPad mini 4 is a true portable tablet, but in comparison to the iPad Pro 9.7in lacks the power and features, making it a less desirable option for those looking for a laptop replacement.
Abstract: There's a new iPad Pro but should you spend an extra £180 on it instead of the iPad mini 4? We explain how these two tablets differ in price, design, hardware, specs and features in our iPad mini 4 vs iPad Pro 9.7 comparison review. See also: Best tablets...

If money is no object then the iPad mini 4 is the superior tablet here with all-round quality on offer. That's not to say the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is bad, though. We're really impressed with it and you can save a lot of cash this way. However, prepare yourself...
Still not quite as powerful as iPad Air, no screen improvements, no 32GB model, 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 Apple has kept the 16GB model, as we were really hoping...
Comes in 16GB, 64GB or 128GB capacities, Touch ID means you can unlock the tablet using your fingerprint, Easy to navigate interface that makes the tablet simple and straightforward to use, The iCloud backup keeps your contacts, photos and messages safe e
There is no microSD card slot, so the memory cannot be expanded, There is no HDMI port, so you can't easily watch images or videos from the iPad on your TV unless you invest in a TV streaming device
We can't fault the Apple iPad Mini 4 if you're after a good all-rounder tablet that's the perfect size to slip in your handbag. It's simple and straightforward to use, so even if you've never used a tablet or smartphone before you won't struggle with this...
