Good deal!

Mini update is really the correct term here: Except for the fingerprint reader and a new color for the case, the third generation of the iPad Mini does not offer any new features or components .

High-resolution display; Excellent build quality; Good camera under daylight; Precise touchscreen; Free office suite; Very good GPS; Fast processor; Fast graphics unit; Low temperature development; Decent speakers; Apple once again delivers a premium tablet; but it also has a premium price tag

Hardly any new features, Sometimes very small controls, Depending on the configuration very high price, No 802.11ac WLAN, WLAN connection sometimes with signal issues, Proprietary connector, Only LTE Cat. 3, The new version does not introduce any real innovations; it is more of a very small facelift

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.

326 PPI; Good battery support; Excellent power; Good camera performance

Identical iPad Mini 2; Lack of NFC

Following a couple of weeks of use, the iPad Mini 3 performs mostly as expected. (See Notes)1. For my use, I prefer the smaller size. My wife has the iPad Air that I used for a while to compare. 2. I like how the Unit communicates with my iPhone 5.

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

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

The iPad Air 2 may have stolen all the spotlight, but that's not because of poor marketing planning. Apple did little to change the third generation of the iPad mini so it got little stage time. But it's not our job to decide which product gets the most fanfare.

Metal unibody, 7.5mm slim, 331g of weight, Optional LTE connectivity (Cat; 4, 150Mbps downlink, 7.9" 1,536 x 2,048 LED-backlit IPS LCD with 324 ppi pixel density, Apple iOS 8, Dual-core 1.3 GHz Apple A7 chipset, M7 motion co-processor, PowerVR GX6430 GPU, 1GB of RAM, 5MP autofocus camera,...

No microSD slot; Pricey memory upgrades; 32GB version should have been standard; No NFC connectivity; Apple Pay has limited functionality; Apple iOS 8 still relies on iTunes for music and file transfers

Hiding in the shadows of Apple's iPad Air 2 announcement was the smaller iPad Mini 3, neglected, with the only improvement made to the year-old tablet being Touch ID.

Powerful and yet small tablet; High resolution 'retina display; Touch ID

Hardware is a year old; 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.
