It's not often that Apple drops the ball on a product – but this is definitely a dropped ball. The iPad mini 3 isn't a bad tablet by any standards; it's just almost identical to last year's iPad mini 2 , which is still on sale. For less money. So what are the differences?

Good hi-res screen; Solid design

Essentially the same tablet as the iPad mini 2 but a lot more expensive

As we said at the start, this review is one that's largely positive, but with the price overshadowing the tablet. This is largely because Apple has left the iPad Mini 2 on sale, which is identical, bar TouchID, the Apple SIM, Gold colour and storage sizes.

How does Apple's latest mini tablet fair? We take a look in our video review.....

I bought this phone to know is apple in the competition, well the answer is NO. The reason why it is bad smaller screen, lesser resolution, bad display high priced according to the size and quality of the phone front camera bad resolution. less accessories will be available for it Goodness..

sound quality is good

is's not good at all

Apple iPad mini 3 is well designed with a long battery life and an excellent display and app selection from a variety offered. The Touch ID features and the Apple Pay features makes the it very efficient to use hence making it one of the most user-friendly.

There's nothing wrong with the iPad Mini 3. It's a lovely device with excellent performance. We just wish that it had moved forward from one year ago.

The new iPad Mini 3 isnt really that new, most of the specifications are the same as that of the iPad mini 2 , but there has been some extra features and new OS. The price is as the iPad mini 2's when it got released, so if you're looking to upgrade from the previous model that's not necessary at...

new iOS; small and compact size; good battery

camera has no flash

It works without problems. This is why so many people love Apple! The screen is bright, the sound is good. Wish there were more innovative cases and accessories but the device does the job.

I love the color but my hubby didn't. I had to return this item, and I'm waiting for a better color and price for me but Apple are the only products t

The iPad mini 2 is Apple's best mini yet, but it's too similar to last year's model and substantially worse than the iPad Air 2 .

Stylish design; Touch ID; Good screen

Underpowered; Very similar to mini 2; Expensive
