Of the two leaders we have a new edition of iPad mini 3 essentially passed the position. If you leave a fingerprint sensor and the chip NFC, California-based Company repeated the 2013 model year. In principle, it is not as bad as it might seem at first sight that proves the test results. Compared with competitors from the camp Android tablet, iPad mini 3 is quite capable to compete on performance and display, and 64-bit system on chip provides an ample supply for the near future. 

Weaknesses: disappointing on both the tablet camera, and iPad mini 3 seems too expensive compared to its predecessor. With excellent battery life and high-quality workmanship both tablet targeting the premium segment. But they can’t be called the ideal tablet, because you still do not get memory expansion capabilities, and the camera, at best, can be called average. Too small change compared to its predecessors. Over the previous model Apple iPad mini 2 asks 289 euros (16 GB, Wi-Fi), which is cheaper to third-generation, which is 100 euros more. If you look at the difference in equipment, the best buy for the price / quality ratio will be iPad mini 2.

Strengths: excellent workmanship, bright and precisely display compelling battery life, in the case of iPad Air 2 - excellent performance. Completely different is estimate of iPad Air 2. Here Apple has decided not to limit the success of last year, so we get very interesting equipment. The new system on chipset A8X provides sufficient reserves for the near future, as Apple, finally, to increase the memory up to 2 GB. At the same time managed to make the tablet thinner, will not adversely affect battery life. Quality housing as always excellent, the display is also one of the best on the market. But against is the frustrating camera, which is sufficient only for taking pictures.

Competitors in the market are not much when you consider the screen size and resolution, as well as the results. If you limit the choice of iOS, it remains the iPad Air with a lower price, but in the case of all variants of OS wider variety. For example, Samsung Galaxy S Tab 10.5 with Super AMOLED display and fast SoC, although he concedes feel of the work and the overall build quality.

No doubt on the future generations of Apple iPad such as Apple iPad Air 3, Apple engineers has to work harder, if they want success for Apple.
