 | Author: Nephalem | This is an amazing product at an amazing price. I kept looking at android tablets at this same size, some at even half the price. But in the end I came back to this because of build quality and because I know if something goes wrong Apple fixes it. (Just took in my phone and replaced it for free about 2 weeks ago) every tablet I walked in a store and used. didn't matter if it was from asus, hp, htc, Samsung, or lg or any other brand.

It has limited usefulness on the iPad; it's more useful on phones, since more and more transactions will be done using phones instead of actual credit cards.So, if the Mini 3 and the Mini 2 are virtually identical, why buy the 2? Because it's cheaper. Apple still sells the 2 for $100 less than a comparably configured 3. But you...Read more | 8 |
