iPad Mini 4 review: A long wait makes for a potent upgrade

After a yearlong wait, we finally have a properly upgraded iPad Mini. While it adopted the iPad Air 2's super-slim aesthetic and got a similarly great screen, the iPad Mini 4 makes do with Apple's dual-core A8 chipset.
Pros:
  • Vibrant screen
  • iOS 9 is great for multitasking
  • Solid performance
  • Respectable battery life
Cons:
  • Rotation lock switch is gone
  • Still less powerful than the iPad Air 2
  • Base model only has 16GB of storage

Apple iPad Mini 4 review

Cons:
  • FaceTime camera is still a measly 1.2MP
  • No 3D Touch

Contradictory claims have been made about the iPad Mini 4. This tablet is thinner and lighter than the model that precedes it, and yet it is faster and more powerful. Tweaks to the display make it better at viewing content, and although the battery has gone on a substantial diet, Apple claims it'll...

The Apple iPad Mini 4 Review
