Apple was right with the launch of iPad Mini two years ago, but it has failed miserably with the "pseudo-update" shown in the iPad Mini 3. Why and which model to choose now?
iPad Mini for everyone
The arrival of the first iPad Mini two years ago it was a success on Apple's part. The reasons are entirely logical. On the one hand, it offered a size, screen and device, much more manageable and "mobile" for those users who carry it all day with them. On the other hand, it made the gateway to the apple universe cheaper, which would increase the company's profits not only due to the sales of this device, but also due to the sales of the rest of the devices that are coming later.
El iPad Mini 2 introduced the retina display. Voucher! But it was already 60 euros more. At this point, future iPad users are beginning to consider more seriously which model suits them best, especially because of the relatively small price difference.
But the third year arrives and Apple presents the iPad Mini 3 which is basically the same iPad Mini with a built in Touch ID.
Why does Apple treat the iPad Mini so badly and the new iPad Air 2 so well?
The answer seems to be quite clear, and it is a matter of numbers: the iPad Mini In its different versions, it has "cannibalized" a large part of its older brothers, either because of price or because of mobility. The iPad Air has lost steam globally compared to an iPad Mini that is maintained and, apparently, this does not like the company too much.
But of course, now the user who was about to acquire a iPad Mini, and I mean those who are already clear that what they want or need is that size and not another, they consider more than ever which model to choose when the three generations are still on the market and their differences, especially between the second and third generation, are minimal.
Think about the iPad Mini you need
This is the range iPad Mini:
A touch ID for € 100? Let me doubt it. My choice is clear. If I were to buy a iPad Mini without a doubt I would opt for him iPad Mini 2 and save me a whopping € 100 because, after all, Touch ID is not too necessary (humble opinion). But it's more. If I were only going to use it to surf the internet, read mail, read books and little else, it would still be clear to opt for it. iPad Mini (original) that now we find it new for only € 239.
So think carefully about the use that you are going to give your iPad Mini because maybe your pockets will thank you.
