Good news: The new iPad mini is equipped with an excellent Retina display, an excellent A7 processor and good Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity. Excellent battery life has not gone anywhere.
Bad news: the price of $ 399 is significantly higher than that of the tablet companies of competitors. And the LTE version is even more expensive. The Mini Retina lacks a fingerprint scanner or other wow-chips.
As a result, the iPad mini Retina is a smaller copy of the iPad Air. It has become more expensive, but it can be called an ideal compact tablet.
The iPad mini was the perfect tablet this year until the iPad mini Retina came out. Thank God, we finally got a high-resolution screen that has been on Android tablets for a long time. This is exactly what you need.
The location of the external speakers is still terrible. When you hold the tablet in a horizontal position, your hands just can't help but cover the sound.
$400 for a 16 GB model is expensive. Moreover, direct competitors with high-quality screens are $150 cheaper.
The original iPad mini captivated us, but we wanted to see big improvements in the second generation. And we got them.
The iPad mini has become faster, more beautiful, more functional and useful to use. The price for it, as is often the case with Apple, is higher than that of competitors — Amazon and Google, but the tablet itself is much better.
Talking to people about the new iPads, I noticed that it is difficult for people to choose between the compactness of the mini and the large screen of the iPad Air. Some of them think in price categories, others in device sizes.
To these people I say — take the new iPad mini and you won't make a mistake. I would buy an iPad mini for myself because it takes up little space in my bag. Moreover, now he has become more beautiful than he was before. You won't want to take your eyes off the beautiful Retina screen. Now, there is not as much difference between mini and Air as before, now they differ only in their sizes.
This is the iPad mini we've all been waiting for.
When the first iPad mini debuted last year, it was a great product. Apple's first attempt looked much better than its competitors. The only stumbling block was the screen with a resolution of 1024×768 pixels.
Now the iPad mini is the product you expect to see from a company like Apple. Stunning appearance, high resolution display, excellent performance. As they say, better late than never.
Have you already decided in which configuration you will take the new iPad mini?
