The iPad mini 3 is still a great mini tablet, but how does it stack up against the iPad Air 2? If you’re looking to supercharge your typing skills and get things done quicker, you need a keyboard. But which one should you get? Here are my top picks.
The Apple iPad mini 3 is the latest version of Apple’s 7.9-inch tablet. The design hasn’t changed much since the previous model, but we do get Touch ID and a new gold color option. The most obvious change between this and its predecessor is that the iPad mini 3 now comes in a ‘low storage’ 16GB model, which we don’t recommend at all.
So do we have a good reason to upgrade from the iPad mini 2 or even the original mini? The specs look similar, but there’s more going on here than meets the eye.
In terms of raw power, there isn’t much difference between the two tablets. When using both for everyday tasks like browsing the web, checking social media and watching video content, I didn’t notice any performance issues on either device.
