iPad Mini 4by Apple
PROS
- The iPad mini 4 has a fantastically vibrant Retina display.
- Split-screen apps are a cool new feature in iOS 9.
- Lighter and slimmer than previous models, you can't beat it for portability in the iPad family.
CONS
- Its price comes dangerously close to that of the more powerful iPad Air 2.
- The base model houses only 16GB of storage.
- Old Smart Covers and silicone back cases won't fit, so you'll have to shell out more money for full protection.

Everything you do – from swipes and zooms to app loading and multitasking\xc2 \xc2– feels that little bit slicker and more immediate. It’s a joy to use, and never kept us waiting no matter how much pressure we put it under.

Last, but by no means least, there’s Touch ID. This can, of course, be used simply to log in to the device (and it’s a whole lot better than using a six-digit passcode). But it’s also the key to using Apple Pay on the iPad.
I certainly found that the new display was one of the best that I’ve used.

There’s no real need to worry about the mini 4’s battery life either. Even when your evening has been sucked into a Netflix-shaped hole. Streaming videos and gaming relentlessly over the weekend merely reduced its battery life to a third.

It’s hard to envision a tablet gift-list without an iPad, and Apple’s latest Mini is arguably the company’s most lust-worthy model to date. It’s thinner and lighter than its predecessors, and it offers most of the same perks that its bigger iPad Air cousins do —including a split-screen view for multitasking, thanks to the new Mini’s upgrade to iOS 9.
