I have no idea because I don't use Android tablets. And honestly I don't care. I care about a great user experience, not well it's better than a piece of garbage Android tablet.
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?
If you want the ULTIMATE best you need to buy the Flagship.
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.
One correction in this tongue lashing: it should be "SERIOUSLY GAL." Rogifan alternates between logical on some days and highly emotionally negative on other days. Or it varies by the issue. But reason doesn't always work when she's in one of her hissy moods. Sorry about the sexism, but that's what I've seen over the last year or so.
Wow, that was SERIOUSLY uncalled for. What's worse, you knew that and went there anyway. SMH.

This time last year the iPad mini 2 had the same specs as the iPad Air and cost $100 less.
Not really, not only it was smaller with less battery, the screen was inferior to that of Air, having 63% color Gamut.
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
