The editors didn't like

  • It is hard to read eBooks in direct sunlight because of the reflective-glass screen
  • Lack of Retina display and lower resolution will be a deal breaker for some
  • Price higher than anticipated
  • Firstgeneration device
  • Lots to improve on
  • Overpriced
  • Display is a total letdown
  • And it could be a bit peppier
  • Gamers who are unimpressed with the iPad 2's performance will remain unimpressed with the iPad mini
  • May feel more cramped when typing on-screen in landscape mode
  • Doesn't have a Retina display
  • Smart Cover for the mini costs as much as the original Smart Cover
  • Lack of Retina display will disappoint those already accustomed to that display technology
  • Pricey for screen size
  • Display resolution lower than latest-gen 7-inch tablets
  • Lightning port incompatible with older accessories
  • Lacks HDMI port
  • Memory-card slot
  • Expensive. Wide. Slippery
  • Screen not HD
  • Limited parental controls
  • Relatively pricey
  • 50 MB iTunes limit over 4G
  • Android and Amazon tablets -- and even Windows laptops -- are available for less. Base model includes only 16GB of non-expandable storage. It's missing the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and split-screen feature found on newer iPads
  • No highresolution display
  • It looks weak compared to every other iOS device
  • Lastgen hardware is significantly slower than current iOS devices
  • And it'll be even weaker than most Android devices in the near future
  • Like all iOS devices
  • Will the 2nd versi
  • Little too expensive
  • No Retina display
  • Lower resolution than the Android competition
  • Nonresolution independent UI results in more zooming in on text
  • Less practical as an allpurpose device against the larger iPad
  • Resolution not as impressive as other tablets tested
  • Few connectivity options
  • Only two speakers
  • No Smart Keyboard compatibility
  • No Face ID
  • No USB-C
  • Physical Touch ID home button
  • Relatively low-res
  • Compared to Retina iPads. Slower than iPad with Retina Display. Older internals may become obsolete quicker.
  • Battery falls modestly short of Apple’s 10-hour claim under some circumstances. Base $329 price tag is a little high
  • Especially considering the additional expense of Lightning accessories and Apple’s decision to pack in an unnecessarily slow charger.
  • No Retina screen
  • Lightning connector adapter is expensive
  • No microSD
  • More expensive than Android competitors
  • No Retina display. iSight camera suspect. Corners cut on power adapter. Some iPhone apps at 2x may not look great. More expensive than most had hoped
  • Low resolution display
  • Low resolution screen can be bothersome from close viewing distances
  • Pricey
  • IOS is boring
  • Purchasing
  • You can buy an iPad Mini starting at $329 for the 16GB model in your choice of black or white. If you want cellular data with LTE
  • You now have three
  • Screen isn't as good as Apple's Retina display
  • Screen is lower resolution than the competition
  • Can sometimes be a little awkward to hold
  • Expensive
  • New 326 PPI Retina display matches past iPads in resolution but falls noticeably short in color performance
  • Some screens also have image retention issues. Larger battery adds slightly to thickness and weight of original iPad mini. A7 processor speed matc

  • Pricier than many 7-inch alternatives

  • Beautiful build quality, Fantastic feel, Great screen, Great with video, Entertaining with music, Easy to use
  • Pricey, No expandable memory, Cable and cover accessories all add up
  • When it comes to Apple products, you're always going to be paying a premium over products that do a similar job. After all, the 16GB Mini costs £110 more than the equivalent Google Nexus 7.But then again, the Mini looks and feels the business, executes mu...

  • The iPad Mini is without doubt a product released in response to what the competition is doing and that has all the potential to create a less than great device. After all, breaking new ground is always something that pushes developers rather than reinven...

  • This probably sounds obvious, but the iPad mini really is mini. So much so that you can hold it with one hand. This is true of its seven inch rivals as well as the iPad mini, but it’s still worth bearing in mind: a 7.9-inch iPad is much smaller compared to a 9.7-inch iPad than it sounds in paper. Close to half the size, in fact.This, combined with Apple’s epic design, makes it a truly lustworthy
  • We could grumble at the lack of Retina Display: the iPad mini’s display packs in the same 1024x768 pixels as the original 2010 iPad, and purists will spot the extra grain and fuzz around the edge of text. But HD movies still look great, and the portability more than makes up for those rough edges and visible pixels. Your technophobic family certainly won’t spot them, they’ll be too busy playing A
  • The iPad mini’s a beautiful size, and a beautiful package the puts the production rivals of all its seven inch rivals to shame: Asus will really have to up its game for its Nexus 7 follow up.Is it expensive? Sure, and you’d have to be daft, or seriousl...

  • The new tablet from Apple is pretty irresistible, if you don't mind the price. But the convenience and the gadget's beauty beats all other small-screened tablets easily....

  • Ultrathin and light, Handles ebooks and iPad apps well, Camera, storage and optional 4G make for a full iPad experience
  • Over £100 more expensive than rivals, Lowresolution display, A5 processor isn't particularly quick
  • The iPad mini is a 7.9-inch version of Apple's popular iPad, and offers a polished tablet experience in a smaller package. It's too expensive however, and its display resolution doesn't measure up to competing tablets, or other iOS devices....

  • Like the iPad, but easier to handle, Beautifully built, Battery life is impressive
  • No Retina Display means a lack of detail, Expensive compared to the Nexus 7
  • verdict If the thought of dropping over £300 on a big iPad has stopped you from joining the Apple slab brigade so far, the iPad Mini should look very tempting right now. And if you've ever thought the iPad was just too big, or if you're the kind of person...

  • Incredibly thin and light, Siri functionality included, 7.9in display larger than rivals, 1080p video recording, Wi-Fi and 4G LTE models available, 10 hour battery life,
  • Does not have Retina Display, price is substantially more than rival product, A5 processor isn't cutting-edge
  • The iPad mini is a definite ‘buy' in our book. If you can spare £269 the 16GB iPad with Wi-Fi is a great little device to own. Even if you've got an iPad it's portability and lightness make a lot of difference to usage. We're not so sure if it's worth upg...

  • Superb design, Great battery, Extremely light and portable
  • Smaller touch targets, Higher price than competition, Low, res screen
  • Can we see someone owning an iPhone 5, iPad mini and new iPad 4? Actually, yes. and not just the pointlessly rich. The iPhone is the perfect device for hopping in and out of content, giving you the internet all the time and generally allowing you to play...
