Read this before getting an iPad Mini 3 & save yourself Php5k

Just recently, Apple has made their new iPads available to the local market. While I think it’s okay to get an iPad Air 2 for its price, I have to say not a lot of people should buy the iPad Mini 3 for the price of Php20,490USD 349INR 29,600EUR 333CNY 2,543, and the reason is simple. Here’s why.

And no, it’s not because it bends – it’s because the iPad Mini 3 is just an iPad Mini 2 with a few small changes that might not even matter to you or the person you’re giving it to. The iPad Mini 3 has Touch ID, is available in gold, and no longer has a 32GB variant – 64GB and 128GB are the storage options from there.

The base option for the 16GB iPad Mini 3 is at Php20,490USD 349INR 29,600EUR 333CNY 2,543, and the iPad Mini 2 now has dropped in price to just Php15,490USD 264INR 22,377EUR 251CNY 1,922; that’s paying exactly Php5,000USD 85INR 7,223EUR 81CNY 621 more for Touch ID and the color gold if you’re getting one. It only becomes less of a waste when you opt for a 128GB variant at most.

But hey, if you really need Touch ID, gold or more than 32GB of storage, feel free to get an iPad Mini 3 for an extra Php5,000USD 85INR 7,223EUR 81CNY 621.

  1. If you’re coming from the iPad Mini 1st Gen, then maybe you can buy this.

    • Coming from an ipad mini 1, my next tab will be the samsung galaxy tab s 8.4. Better display. Stereo speakers. And flexible android. Just 15k from online sellers. It feels better in hand than the ipad too.

    • what about the soc? na-compare na ba yung performance ng soc?

  2. What about guarantee of updates? Will iPad mini 3 get one more update more than iPad mini 2 because it’s newer despite the fact both are essentially the same?

    Mini 3 will reach iOS11 while mini 2 will reach iOS 10 only.

    • Bago pa magkaron ng iOS 10 sawa ka na sa iPad Mini 3 . For sure bibili ka din ng mas bagong iPad bago pa man irelease yung update na yon.

  3. Precisely my point… So what I did is sold my iPad Mini 1. And purchased iPad Mini 2 yesterday @ lazada online revolution sale for 14,890 – 10% discount = 13,400. In the end I saved around 6-7K for not purchasing iPad Mini 3. I just wonder why apple did not revised the pricing of iPad Mini 1 and 2?

  4. Does this mean that both iPad Mini 2 and iPad Mini 3 are exactly identical in terms of hardware specifications?

    • sadly, yes :(

  5. http://www.macworld.co.uk/review/ipad/ipad-mini-2-vs-ipad-mini-3-comparison-3582666/

    based on this site, ipad mini 1 owners will feel the difference if they switch to mini 3 than mini 2 owners switch to mini 3

    • of course

  6. Indeed. Same situation with iPad Air 2. Still very happy with my iPad Air. I got Touch ID on my iPhone 6 Plus. I think my iPad Air is still usefull for another year. :-)

    • iPad Air 1: 1gb RAM
      iPad Air 2: 2gb RAM

      That is a huge difference. Try using Safari in both gadgets and you will notice that websites do not refresh by themselves in the Safari of iPad Air 2.

  7. Coming soon: Dell Venue 8 7000. I’m going to wait for yugatech’s review of this beast before replacing my old tablet.

  8. What an utterly useless article…

    • What an utterly useless comment…

    • What an utterly useless reply

    • What an utterly useless conversation

    • What a bunch of retard i-sheeps

  9. Usefulness or the lack thereof depends on the user.
