Should I buy an iPad mini 3

The Apple Thursday unveiled its new tablet Mini Air 2 and 3 and many now think, what to choose tablet. Whether to update from your old iPad mini / 2 on a new compact model? Share your opinion MakRadara chief editor Alexander Marfitsin.

First, let's go over the changes in the iPad mini 3, compared with a mini 2:

• Sensor Touch ID and Apple Pay, working in applications;
• Gold version;
• Slightly improved front camera.

At the same time, the basic characteristics remain the same:

• The dimensions and weight;
• The processor and the coprocessor (A7 and M7);
• The main camera;
• All of the features iOS 8;
• In Wi-Fi with MIMO and LTE.

It turns out that in the iPad mini 3, there are no major improvements that should make you immediately run to the store and buy a new compact "apple" tablet. You get almost the same usage experience, and that of the iPad mini 2.

Personally, I advise you to buy iPad mini 2 (or leave it, if you already have). He is the same "iron", but its price is now reduced to 14 990 rubles, while the iPad mini 3 officially costs 19 490 rubles with the new value of the dollar.

5500 for the Touch ID and a gold version? Nice try Apple, but no
