The iPad Mini costs too much
Especially considering the lower resolution of its 7.9-inch non-Retina Display. The A5 processor isn't as robust as the one in the fourth-gen iPad and iPhone 5. Typing on the smaller screen is not quite as comfy
Abstract: Apple's new iPad mini is likely to become its most popular iPad, due to a light, thin design that delivers tablet optimized apps in a more portable package at a reduced price...

Abstract: Does the world need a newer, smaller iPad that's practically the same price as the existing iPad 2? I mean, looking at it on paper, the iPad mini uses the same hardware as the iPad 2 — the same processor, same amount of RAM, same screen resolution — and i...

Very thin, very light, easy to hold in one hand, 10 hour battery life, awesome fit and finish. Beautiful, magical to handle. Stereo speakers.
No Retina display. iSight camera suspect. Corners cut on power adapter. Some iPhone apps at 2x may not look great. More expensive than most had hoped
The iPad mini is a device that cries out for a clear understanding of how it will be used. And accepted for what it is capable of and designed for. It's not simply a matter of deciding whether you want a 9.7 or a 7.9-inch screen. The iPad mini has about h...
battery life means I'm not having panic attacks when I'm not near a wall plug
Gamers who are unimpressed with the iPad 2's performance will remain unimpressed with the iPad mini, May feel more cramped when typing on-screen in landscape mode
Super skinny construction, Takes good photos & videos for a tablet, Stellar battery life
Low resolution display
In the moment that the iPad mini was announced to feature a starting price point of $330, we were left wondering in confusion as to why? Factoring in its hardware specs and all, it would lead anyone to believe that this latest iPad is rather over-bloa...
Abstract: The iPad mini is the best iPad yet and will likely become the default iPad choice for both consumers and businesses. It is both affordable and portable, two traits that are important no matter who's shopping. Apple has a huge hit on its hands, though it m...
Abstract: The iPad 4 has an Apple A6X system-on-a-chip (SoC) is marketed as twice as fast, both in central and graphics processing, as the iPad 3 released only 7 short months ago. Apple's custom, manually-set ARM v7s processor -- called Swift -- remains the 32nm CM...
Abstract: If you've been to Disneyland recently, you've seen the big change in how Americans while away their time in line. Many are absorbed by their smartphones, most often iPhones and Galaxy Notes . But these days you're also starting to see small 7-inch tablets...
A smaller and much easier to carry sequel to the iPad 2, benefitting from newer industrial design elements and technologies introduced in the fifth-generation iPod touch. Generally very solid build quality and highly attractive fit and finish, relying
Battery falls modestly short of Apple’s 10-hour claim under some circumstances. Base $329 price tag is a little high, especially considering the additional expense of Lightning accessories and Apple’s decision to pack in an unnecessarily slow charger.
Postscript: iPad mini LTE Speeds, Battery Tests, and Network RecommendationsAlthough Apple has had a handful of misfires in the iPod family over the last several years, the one most critics got wrong was the iPod mini—a smaller, redesigned iPod that arriv...
Extremely well made and designed, Thin and light, Larger, more useful display area than the 7inch Android competition, Great for content consumption and gaming on the go, Unbeatable tablet app selection
Lower resolution than the Android competition, Nonresolution independent UI results in more zooming in on text, Less practical as an allpurpose device against the larger iPad
It is true that Apple has managed to condense much of the larger iPad experience into the iPad mini, making it better than every other 7-inch or 8-inch tablet on the market by a long way. This is not the result of having a better display, or the most powe...
