Just like the new Nexus 7, we may find that the iPad mini 2 lasts slightly less than the model it replaces. On the plus side the iPad mini does have strong battery life so a small dip should not cause too much bother. We’ll have to wait to review and compare it to be sure. iPad mini 2: Should I upgrade? You get an immense amount of detail. Zoomed right in to high-res DSLR images the iPad mini 2’s Retina screen pops with detail and adds superb colour accuracy to the mix. It’s a very bright screen, too, although put it right next to the Nexus 7 and it’s a fraction dimmer at full brightness and the whites aren’t quite a dazzling. It’s bright enough, though, that it’s easy enough to view on a bright day. Compared side by side with the iPad mini, with both photos taken at the same time, the iPad mini 2 (bottom image) produces the slightly better shot. Colours are marginally better and there’s more dynamic range. The photo is also a little sharper throughout. In both cases, the resolution means there isn’t much detail when you zoom in, although the photos are fine for sharing on YouTube. Pictures start to get much noisier in low light, and there’s no flash to help illuminate things.

However, the Touch ID ring suggests that the iPad mini 2 will actually be powered by the same processor as the iPad 5 – a turbo-charged 64-bit A7 CPU, likely to be named the A7X.

iOS 7 has had a mixed reception. We think it’s a big step forward for Apple and do not have the reservations some have about the design looking like a child’s toy. It’s clean, crisp and clear. iPads, and Apple products generally, don't tend to get many discounts, but keeping an eye on prices from retailers other than Apple is the best way to find reductions. Here, you'll find the best prices we could find at the major retailers for the latest models. Where the iPad mini 2’s 4:3 screen really trumps the competition is when it’s used for web browsing and apps. The squarer Retina display provides more sensible acreage and the 0.9-inch extra actually offers 35% more screen real-estate than other comparable 7-inch tablets in a form factor that isn’t any taller, and only an inch or so wider. Apple chose this size carefully and it shows: it’s just right.

Pushing the resolution up to 2,048 x 1,536, Apple has quadrupled the resolution from the original iPad mini’s 1,024 x 768. That’s quite a staggering improvement and, due to the slightly smaller screen, the iPad mini 2 has a higher pixel density than the iPad Air (326ppi vs 264ppi). Strictly speaking, we’d have to say that this resolution is probably higher than is required, going by Apple’s Retina display definition. According to this, Retina is the point at which you can no longer see individual pixels when you hold the device at a normal viewing distance. Given that the iPad Air is Retina, this new iPad mini is more than Retina. Which iPad has the best specs isn't always an exact science. A freshly updated iPad may be better than an older iPad Air that hasn't had an update in a few years, for example. AppleCare+ provides unlimited incidents of accidental damage protection.

While the dimensions and overall design will stay the same, the iPad mini 2 will likely come in some new colours.

If you use editing software for photos or video, or create 3D art, the extra power from the M1 and M2 chips will help. The 12.9-inch Pro is more like a laptop and you should consider a keyboard if you want to get the most out of it, or a stylus if your interests are more art-focused.

If Apple continues the trend, the iPad mini 2 could have the dual-core 1.4GHz CPU and quad-core GPU SoC to match the iPad 4. We can see why Apple went down this route, though. By keeping its iPad range with the same screen resolution (or an easy scaling option from the low-res versions), it makes things simple for developers and consumers. In other words, you can rest assured that all of the apps that worked so well on the full-sized iPad will work well here. The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact has also caught up when it comes to gaming performance, as the iPad mini 2’s score of 26,285 in our BaseMark X 1.1 graphics benchmark (the iOS version doesn’t give an exact frame rate breakdown, unfortunately) is just in front of the Z3 Tablet Compact, which scored 25,585. However, the mini 2 is still more than fast enough to run any current title without any slowdown, so you shouldn’t have any trouble playing your favourite games.
