In Short

Announced on September 9, 2015, the iPad Mini 4 is the next in line of Apple's small tablets. With a starting price of $399, the iPad Mini 4 essentially has the same hardware and performance of the iPad Air 2, but weighs in at just 0.65lbs and rocks a 7.9-inch screen.

The definitive

iPad mini 4 review

22 September 2015 15 By Rene Ritchie Last year Apple updated the iPad Air 2 with the convenience of Touch ID, the clarity of a laminated display, and the power of the A8X chipset. The iPad mini 3 only scored the first of the three. This year the iPad mini 4 gets the rest of the way there. Almost. It sports an A8 instead of an A8X, but the display is every bit as stunning, and the radios faster than ever. Also, thanks to iOS 9, it can do full-on Split View multitasking.
