===THE IPAD MINI IS BACK. AND IT'S BETTER THAN EVER, SPORTING A RETINA DISPLAY AND ENOUGH POWER TO MATCH BIGGER TABS...===

Apple has taken every flagship piece of tech from the larger iPad Air and squeezed it into the '''iPad Mini'''. From its Retina Display - at 2048x1536 with 326ppi on a 7.9-inch screen it&acirc;s as sharp if not sharper than the Air - to the 64-bit A7 processor and clever M7 coprocessor, it&acirc;s all there.

Thanks to all that iPad Air-matching spec the new Mini is noticeably faster and slicker than its predecessor. The Wi-Fi + Cellular version is also the proud recipient of a 4G upgrade. Wi-Fi connectivity seemed a little more robust to us, but nothing to email home about. There&acirc;s also the new option of a massive 128GB hard drive. The cameras are unchanged, but a five-meg sensor with 1080p video on the rear is still pretty good.

Our major concern when we discovered the Mini would be making the leap to Retina was battery life. Thankfully, the tight integration of hardware (A7/M7) and software (iOS 7) has solved that potential issue. We managed to play music for almost seven hours before things went quiet. That was with 75 per cent brightness and Wi-Fi switched off, though.

We thought the iPad Air was a stunning piece of tech, but the [http://www.store.etblive.com/tablet-reviews/most-wanted-apples-new-ipads-apple-ipad-air-ipad-mini iPad Mini] has taken everything that&acirc;s good about the Air and condensed it into a more pocketable form. If you crave a bigger screen then the Air&acirc;s your guy, but we&acirc;ll take the Mini.

==iPad Mini WIth Retina Display Details:==

====SCREEN====
That 7.9-inch Retina really shines with amazing clarity. It&acirc;s small, but perfect for reading and web browsing

====CAMERA====
The rear-facing iSight snapper packs five-meg stills, while the FaceTime cam racks up 720p video

====PROFILE====
At 7.5mm thick, the '''new Mini''' is 0.3mm thicker than the original. We can forgive that given the extra spec


===FOCUS===

====Apple&acirc;s A7 and M7 processors - should you believe the hype?====

The Mini&acirc;s all-round performace has clearly improved. Whilst playing around with video-mixing app vJay; we had two simultaneous video mixes streaming live via Apple TV without any glitches. That&acirc;s impressive. Graphics chops have also had a boost, with Infinity Blade III producing some incredible lighting and shading effects. We gave the M7 coprocessor a workout, too, using The Day One app to count steps and add them to our journal. It produced accurate results without unduly draining the iPad Mini&acirc;s battery. A conclusive result, then. Believe that hype.


===FINAL===
Retina screen. Speedy performance. More LTE bands and 128GB option. Perfect size for everyday use Touch ID would have been nice, but not essential. Apple's smallest iPad is still its best, with specs that match the larger iPad Air
