Apple has stuck with the same design as last year’s iPad mini, which in itself is a departure from the tapered look of previous iPads – and it’s still as impressive as when it was first revealed. It’s a slimline and lightweight slate that feels solid in the hand thanks to the premium build quality, and it weighs hardly anything. It's the more portable flavour of iPad, and works just as well out a...
Tablets are not exactly known for their brilliant sound quality, and the new iPad mini is no exception either. The stereo speakers included on the mini will certainly make do for occasional listening, but they’re not as loud as the pair found on the iPad Air, and they’re also positioned awkwardly. When using the mini, it’s easy to cover up the speakers when held on its side such as when you’re pl...
