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
For shoppers looking for a compact, wallet-friendly tablet with premium features, the $399 iPad mini 4 is a solid choice. This device has not been completely overhauled or upgraded since the previous generation mini 3 and mini 2.

Among the best compact tablets you can buy-if money is no object-the iPad Mini 4 is now a true, almost-no-compromise small alternative to the iPad Air 2.
Pros:
- Screen is as good as you'll find on a compact tablet
- Improved rear camera
- Closer in performance to full-size iPads than the Mini 3 was
Cons:
- 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

Apple iPad mini 4 review
Last year, Apple delivered a dud of an iPad. I'm not talking about the iPad Air 2, which set an incredible new benchmark for the type of speed and performance consumers can expect from tablets. No, I'm referring to the disappointing, mailed-in iPad mini 3 .
Pros:
- Stunning
- colorful display
- Faster performance and better camera
- iOS 9 multitasking
Cons:
- Old cases won't fit
- Lackluster speakers
- Jony Ive can't let go of chamfered edges

iPad mini 4 review
There are cheaper tablets – cheaper iPads even – but if you can afford to buy the iPad mini 4 you won’t be disappointed. It finally has a great screen and while it can’t match the more powerful iPad Air 2, it’s got more than enough poke to satisfy demanding users.

Apple hasn't revolutionised the iPad Mini with this fourth model but it's certainly one of the best sub-10-inch tablets you can buy right now. A desirable combination of slick performance and longevity, combined with some serious media chops, make the Mini 4 a solid choice for almost any user.
Pros:
- Super thin and light
- Slick performance
- Great battery life

Apple iPad mini 4
Overall, the iPad mini 4 is a very good device, and a return to form of sorts for the mini line. It still lags behind the iPad Air 2 in a number of ways, but for those who prefer the mini's smaller form factor, it's an appealing tablet.
Pros:
- The thinner, lighter design is even easier to hold than past iPad minis
- A more powerful processor boots up the iPad and opens apps faster
- Rear iSight camera has been upgraded to 8MP, with slo-mo video recording and burst mode shooting
- Colors are sharper and more accurate in updated display.
Cons:
- 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.

Apple iPad mini 4 Review
The Apple iPad mini 4 is a top-notch small-screen tablet with unparalleled build quality and app support, but it's still hard to justify the jump in price over the iPad mini 2. Farewell, iPad mini 3 , we hardly knew ye. Casually announced at the end of Apple's iPad Pro presentation, the iPad mini 4 replaces last year's mini 3 as the company's high-end small-screen tablet. The iPad mini 4 is a lot like its predecessor in many ways, save for some key hardware upgrades that make it feel faster. It's a great small tablet that runs smoothly, with a fantastic app experience and a premium feel—but it's hard to justify the $399 base price (for the 16GB model) when you can buy the still-solid iPad mini 2 ($29.99 at eBay) for $269. Design and PricingAvailable in gold, silver, or space gray, the iPad mini 4 ( at Amazon) is just about identical to the iPad mini 3, except a bit thinner and lighter. It measures 8 by 5.3 by 0.24 inches (HWD) to the iPad mini 3's 8 by 5.3 by 0.29 inches. And the new mini 4 weighs just 10.4 ounces compared with the mini 3's 11.7 ounces, making it even more comfortable to hold on your daily commute. There are no drastic changes to the...
Pros:
- Excellent build quality
- Upgraded hardware from last iteration
- Good camera
- Reduced screen glare
- Unbeatable app experience
Cons:
- Expensive
- Occasional minor performance issues in testing
