              Apple ended support for the Apple iPad Mini 3, so you will not get any support with a software update.

            The Apple iPad mini 3 is a superb small-screen tablet, but you can get essentially the same experience from its predecessor for $100 less.

            A great tablet, but no longer the best deal

            2014's iPad Mini 3 is little changed, getting just Touch ID and a new color compared to the previous year. Can it still compete in the fiercely competitive mid-sized tablet market?

            It’s almost a case of déjà vu with the iPad mini 3, but despite its lack of any real update, it’s still the 8in tablet to be reckoned with
