  • Lock/orientation switch is gone
  • Design is starting to get old

  • Cases and covers from older Minis often won't work with this one

  • Low pricing

  • Rotation-lock switch relegated to software

  • 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 No 3D Touch display. 16GB capacity will be too small for most users. 1.2 MP iPad FaceTime camera feels outdated.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

  • Small and compact, Strong and attractive all-metal design, iOS 9's multi-tasking is useful, Faster A8 processor
  • It's pricier than Android alternatives, iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro offer more
  • The iPad Mini 4 is still among the best 8-inch tablets you can buy, although the Galaxy Tab S2 and Dell's Venue 8 7000 give it a run for its money – especially now that they've been discounted to $350 each (for 32GB model). If you really want a small iP...

  • Brilliant screen, Sleek design, Great app library
  • Older processor, No 3D touch
  • 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...

  • Compact size, vivid display, works with split-screen apps in iOS 9. Basically, a shrunken-down iPad Air 2. Perfect hand feel for vacations
  • 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
  • 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...

  • Sharp, vibrant screen, Excellent colour balance, Fast, slick performance, Detailed, refined sound, Gorgeous design, Strong app selection,
  • Storage is non-expandable,
  • There's no doubt that the iPad mini continues to dominate the smaller tablet market, and its fourth generation comes with more tricks up its sleeve than ever.Of course there are Android alternatives that offer strong competition, but when it comes to answ...

  • iPad mini 4 has better internal specs, iPad mini 3 is cheaper for same external design
  • iPad mini 3 has slower performance and will age faster
  • On the whole, we think the faster components of the iPad mini 4 are well worth the additional spend. It'll get software upgrades from Apple for a longer time thanks to the slightly faster chipset and additional RAM. Spend the additional cash and get the n...

  • Smaller and slimmer design, decent performance, Touch ID fingerprint scanner, anti-reflective screen
  • Screen is a bit small for Split View in iOS 9, not as powerful as the iPad Air 2, iPad mini 2 far cheaper
  • The iPad mini 4 is faster, slimmer and more accomplished than its iPad mini 3 predecessor. This time around the mini succeeds in finding is place, despite not being as altogether powerful as the iPad Air 2. For most that doesn't mean the mini is a...

  • Subtle display tweaks make it easier on the eyes, Super portable form factor, Longevity in battery life
  • FaceTime camera is still a measly 1.2MP, No 3D Touch
  • We think it's just the right size for a portable entertainment hub So do Apple's petite tablets make sense any more? I've been running with the iPhone 6s Plus in tandem with the mini 4, just to see how often I'd reach for the mini's extra 2.5 inches of s...
