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.

Purchased the Gold IPad for my son's birthday and I ended up giving it to him a month early because I knew how much he wanted one. The look on his face was worth every penny when he opened it. Supposedly I am the best Mom ever!

Excellent

The Mini 3 is futureproof thanks to fingerprint scanning but makes the iPad Mini 2 too much of a bargain to ignore

The best small tablet experience; Touch ID for unlock and iTunes; Gorgeous build; stunning Retina screen; All-day battery life

The Mini 2 is now much better value; No spec bumps like the iPad Air 2; Non expandable; no 32GB; Slightly inferior colours next to Air 2

When the iPad mini with Retina display launched alongside the iPad Air in 2013 the biggest choice you had to worry about was whether or not you wanted a 7.9-inch or a 9.7-inch screen. The message from Apple was clear: you get the same power either way.

Great size; good screen; TouchID integrated

Same as last year; iPad mini 2 offers far better value for money

The iPad mini 3 is a great tablet in almost every way, and if that verdict sounds familiar, it's because that was our conclusion about the iPad mini 2. Apart from the Touch ID fingerprint reader and the option of a gold-coloured back, there's no difference between the two models.

The iPad mini 3 is a curious beast. Curious insofar in that I don't really know where it's supposed to fit into the tablet market, an arena arguably created by Apple itself. It's not the top-end tablet that technology fans will lust after, given it's based almost entirely on last year's technology.

really easy to install your fingerprints , light weight and right size for your purse !

what can i say, loving it. However, I wanted to buy another and the price has now gone up to ￡400 whereas before I paid ￡319. Not sure why as you could get a mini 4 for that price. Need to put the price back down otherwise it would have been a full 5 stars

With the Apple iPad Mini 3 , Apple once again splits the specs between the larger iPad and its smaller sibling. How does the Mini 3 compare to the rest of the small tablet offerings on the market? Let's see how the reviews look!

Touch ID support; Great battery life; Peppy performance; Apple SIM

Little difference from iPad Mini 2; No NFC; Price
