| iPad Mini 3: The Sleek and Compact Tablet |
Apple is a company that has moved
away from what it had said earlier; about things “Jo wo Kabhi Nahi Karega” but
has moved to various things that has been seen as things Steve Jobs would have
never done. Similar was the case with the iPad for which the company had said that
there would never be a “Nanha” tablet, but with time apple launched its small
screen tablet. The iPad Mini as the company calls it has been a great success
and loved by the mass at large.
The iPad Mini has now reached its 3rd
generation and a lot has changed since its first launch and gained popularity
in the similar way. The
iPad mini 3, looks similar to the iPad mini 2 but that’s absolutely fine as it
is “Sunehra and Khoobsurat”. A lot of people smaller tablets and the iPad mini 3
is targeted to those people, it is light and compact and the overall build
quality is quite impressive.

The iPad Mini 3 has the same retina
screen used in the iPad mini 2 which delivers exceptional display quality. The
7.9 inch display size of the tablet makes it “Satik” choice for web browsing,
watching media or evening reading books. The tablet has a A7 chipset along with
a M7 coprocessor, which offers high power for a normal tablet.
One thing that Apple has introduced
to the iPad Mini series is the “TOUCH ID”, which provides high security for
your tablet. The camera has been a major disappointment, as there is no upgrade
from the iPad Mini 2. The tablet packs the same old 5MP isight camera, which in
terms of image quality is good. The front has a 1.2 MP camera with nothing new
to offer.

The new iPad Mini 3 is a standard
tablet that only those desperate for more secure online shopping would like. Even
though it’s a year old, it’s still a very competent processor. The iPad mini 3
zips through menus on iOS 8 and apps open with speed. Games look fantastic,
particularly those made with the 64-bit architecture in mind. Let’s have a look
at the pros and cons of the iPad Mini 3 :
Pros:
· Great
Build Quality.
· TouchID.
|
Cons:
· Not
much upgrade.
· Same
as Mini 2 in almost every way.
|
Final verdict:
Apple hasn't delivered “Kuch Naya” –
you can get essentially the same tablet for a lot less in the iPad mini 2.
Which begs the question: why should anyone buy the iPad mini 3? Unless you
really want the latest iPad mini or Touch ID, you shouldn't – Apple hasn't
improved it enough. At Rs. 28,900 for the 16 GB Wifi version it is highly
priced, it faces stiff competition from the likes of Samsung Tab 8 inch, Nexus 9 and the Amazon
Fire HDX.
