    I like Octa Core android tablet which only works on 4 cores at a time and reserves 4 other cores for a rainy day...lol. It's like to buy a V-8 engine car capable at 400 horse power and can only use 4 cylinders at a time or 200 horse power max...

    again show me a better non Apple tablet/ecosystem than the mini at $199?

    or Mini3 at $399?

     


    My cousin has a Mini 2 at $299, that's better than Mini at $199 or Mini3 at $399. She doesn't have any other Apple product, so she's not in Apple ecosystem. Is she qualified?

    Not really, not only it was smaller with less battery, the screen was inferior to that of Air, having 63% color Gamut.

    Compare tablets at the same price point.

    Of course the Mini2 is better than the Mini1.  It cost $100 more.

    The Mini2 is NOT better than the Mini3. What are you smoking.
    For $100 less it is, IMO. Touch ID isn't worth $100.

    of course it's smaller. That's why it's called the iPad mini. A smaller battery due to smaller form factor isn't an inferior product.

    Sorry if what I said wasn't clear enough :/ I meant:

     

    Difference between Air and Mini 2 = smaller screen and battery

     

    Inferior display DUE TO having 63% Gamut which makes it not as good as Air's display

    You attitude is like expecting a Toyota Corolla to have the EXACT SAME features as a Lexus LS600.  I mean really!


     

    Apple created this expectation problem themselves last year, when the iPad mini 2 had the same processor, memory, etc. as the iPad Air, the only difference was battery capacity and screen size.

    After reading reviews and seeing so many reviewers lamented about the mute switch, I couldn't help but think that many people didn't know you just need to press on the "lower volume' switch a bit longer and the IPAD will be muted? 

    The mute switch has always been an unnecessary button for the purpose of silencing the ipad.  I have been using it to lock 'orientation' for the past few years.

    Sure, you can lower the volume that way, but not raise it. That requires you to hold the up button. A switch is very convenient, I don't even have to unlock the iPad to mute it. Or take it out of its case.

    Precisely. Being able to flick the mute on in an instant when the iPad is locked is great, and it is a small but bad mistake by Ive to get rid of it.

    With luck, he will see the error of his ways and bring it back with the 13" iPad next year.

    Wow, that was SERIOUSLY uncalled for.  What's worse, you knew that and went there anyway.   SMH.
