By now, consumers should know the drill when it comes to all things Apple related. Every year, its product lineup gets refreshed – where devices generally receive upgrades to differentiate them enough over their predecessors. With the iPad mini family, t...

As we try to think dearly about Apple's intent with the iPad mini 3, we're still having trouble rationalizing the reasoning behind its $400 cost. In all fairness, it's a pricey investment considering that the only notable new addition is the Touch ID fing...

Blink and you might have missed it. The iPad mini 3 made an especially quiet debut at Apple's latest event, a mere footnote compared with the iPad Air 2. With the dust now settled, it's easy to see why—aside from a gold paintjob, Touch ID sensor, and Appl...

Other than the new gold color option, Touch ID is the only notable change in iPad mini 3. We found the fingerprint scanner worked similarly to its implementations in other Apple devices — which is to say, it works well. Unlike the Touch ID found in newer...
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 "iPad mini 2." Why? Because almost everything's the same...

A little more than a week ago, Apple pushed out its third iOS 8 update, an update that the company naturally called iOS 8.0.2 . Over the past week, we've spent quality time with iOS 8.0.2 on iPad mini with Retina Display and today, we want to take a look...

Apple, in standard fashion, introduced its two new tablets, the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3, to the public not too long ago – both of which, naturally, are expected to compete in the upcoming holiday season. Generally speaking, Apple intends for them to g...
Separated by only $100, it's really tough for us to recommend going with the iPad mini 3 – even though it's the cheaper of the two models, at $399. It's even tougher to swallow knowing that it doesn't see any major improvements, or differences, with its o...

It's a little thinner. It's a little lighter. It's a whole lot faster. All of this makes the iPad Air 2 both more of the same and better than ever. The form-factor didn't change since last year's redesign, but even though the iPad Air 2 is slimmer than it...
All of Apple's tablets are great performers. Having five different models—in various sizes, both Wi-Fi only and with cellular—makes them more accessible than ever, since the price points range from $249 for the original iPad mini all the way to $829 for...

For many tablet fans, Apple's second-generation iPad mini hit the sweet spot. Keeping the bag- and hand-friendly design of the original iPad mini, but adding a Retina display, it replaced standalone ereaders and held the phablet fort until the iPhone 6 Pl...
The value in upgrading to the iPad mini 2 from the original was clear; the improvements in stepping up to the iPad mini 3 from its predecessor are more granular. That's not so much a critique of the new model as it is recognition that the iPad mini 2 simp...

The iPad mini 3 is just as good as its predecessor, but its lack of feature upgrades doesn't justify its price and places it behind the Air 2 in specs. Unless you love Apple's fingerprint sensor and Apple Pay, you may want to opt for last year's model in...
