I've had this iPad since about December 20th 2015 and it is awesome! all i need to do now is add it onto my account so i have data on it too. its a really nice size to carry around.you are also able to stream it on to any smart tv as well as its a really nice screen for streaming.

This is the iPad mini we've all been waiting for. When the first generation iPad mini debuted in 2012, it was a terrific product. Apple's first stab at a smaller tablet looked more far more elegant than the competition, managed to squeeze a larger 7.9-inch display in a traditionally 7-inch tablet...

Gorgeous 2048 x 1536 pixel display; 10-plus hour battery life will more than serve your cross-country plane flight, or close to a week of casual daily use; A7 processor (with M7 co-processor) offers more power than you may ever need on a 7-inch tablet; Tons of Retina-optimized apps to choose from

Pricey---similar sized and specced tablets go for closer to $200; Stereo speakers both located on one end of the device; Would be nice if it had better networking capabilities

It makes little sense to run down everything in Apple's iPad mini 3 ($399-$729) that's the same as what you'll find in last year's iPad mini with Retina display - a model that thankfully was renamed

We review the Apple iPad Mini 3, the gold-tinted tiny tab rocking TouchID. Apple's iPad Mini 3 reveal felt a little half-arsed at best, taking up around 27 seconds of the launch event where we also saw the Air 2 drop.

Still great; now with more storage options and Touch ID

A sleek, light and fast 8in tablet with a heavy sense of deja vu

Remains one of the best compact tablets around; Excellent screen; Fast performance; Adds fingerprint reader,

Few improvements over iPad Mini 2,

I have an IPOD 64 and a mini IPAd 32. I upgraded to the IPAD mini 128 for more space and to give the 32 to my husband. I liked the $150.00 off the original price.

What can I say about the iPad mini 3 that hasn't already been said No, seriously, what can I say Apple's latest mini is essentially the same product as the first iPad Mini With Retina display with exactly four upgrades, only three of which are significant.

Apple's smaller tablet is about the size of a book and gains a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, gold colour and extra storage option – but that's it

compact; good screen; fingerprint sensor; good battery life; solid build

barely any change from last year; expensive; no expandable storage; square screen

A minor update no doubt, but does the addition of Touch ID make the new baby iPad worth buying Find out in our iPad mini 3 review.

One of 2013's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.

Though we're disappointed by the lack of upgrades, Apple's smaller iPad is still a great choice. Both the display and battery life are excellent, and the addition of Touch ID takes care of our biggest complaint from the previous version.

Other than a gold option and Touch ID, the iPad Mini 3 is identical to its predecessor. It lacks the processor and camera upgrade of its big brother, the Air 2, and it's still priced at the high end for midsize tablets.
