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

Abstract: The first time I saw the iPad mini at an Apple Store, I decided to give it a pass. I already had a third-generation iPad with Retina Display and buying a smaller iPad did not make sense. Thankfully, a friend asked me to pick one for him and let me play ar...
OK, then. Before we have our say on the iPad mini, we'll let the numbers talk. Three million tablets sold over the opening weekend easily beats the record set in March by the then new iPad. It's a combined figure of course for the two new slates - big and...
