Apple iPad mini 2 review: Getting better and better
.
At its October 22 media event, Apple introduced its second-generation
iPad mini, bringing a new Retina display as well as upgraded internals
including the A7 chip and M7 motion coprocessor introduced in the iPhone
5s.The improvements to the iPad mini have necessitated a slight increase in thickness and weight for the iPad mini, with the device now measuring at 7.5 mm thick and 0.73 pounds compared to 7.2 millimeters and 0.68 pounds for the original generation.
Even though the original iPad mini was launched next to the iPad 4, it was actually a 'mini-me' of the iPad 2 – a tablet Apple released way back in early 2011. It will continue to be sold next to the new version which comes with the same processor and screen resolution as the iPad 2, albeit in a much lighter, prettier body.
The 7.9 inch IPS display on the original mini is bright and color accuracy is good, but the 1024 x 768 pixel screen with 162ppi just isn’t as sharp as it should be. Text isn’t crisp enough and pixels are clearly visible. That sounds silly in a way, but the fact is things have moved and 'sharpness' is one of the most important factors for any tablet or phone.
Gareth Beavis of TechRadar, says the iPad Mini 2 is "almost flawless". But he's not as giddy about the new device as fellow reviewers, saying that the iPad Mini 2 has one big drawback - it's price. "You can buy a Google Nexus 7 for 25-30% less than the comparable 16GB / 32GB option from Apple – and that increase in price to improve the amount of storage on board has no justification".
Trusted Reviews agree, writing that as both the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HDX 7 are £199 cheaper than the iPad Mini 2 it makes no financial sense to buy the tablet if you only intend to use it as an "e-reader, casual web browser and video player".
The iPad mini is everything a tablet should be - and like apple's last other products it changed the tech world forever and undoubtedly for better. And unfortunately, it's just one thing short of what we all thought a compact tablet should be - cheap.
