Looking for a great gift? Consider the iPad Mini 2. When the first iPad Mini debuted in 2012, people were drawn to its small size, light weight and low price, at least compared to a full-size iPad. But it lacked one crucial feature: a Retina display. In 2013, the iPad Mini 2 arrived with a Retina display, and the problem was solved. The iPad Mini 2 runs iOS 10, Apple's latest mobile operating system. You get features like picture-in-picture (when watching videos) and slide over (a tab slides over from the screen's edge to allow momentarily use of another app). That's as well as the ability to send iMessages, make FaceTime calls and have access to all those iPad-optimized apps.

And while none of Apple's iPads support user-upgradable storage, the company doubled the base storage of the Mini 2 (and most of the other current iPad models) from a lean 16GB to a healthier 32GB back in September. So now you're getting more for the exact same price. There are many wallet-friendly Android tablets you can buy as gifts. In the US and UK, there's the 2016 Amazon Fire HD 8 for $90 or £90. In the US and Australia, there's the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 for $220 or AU$299. One of the lowest priced tablets in the US and UK is the non-HD Amazon Fire, at just $50 or £50.

The iPad Mini 2 is the thrifty gift to give for people already in Apple's ecosystem, The iPad Mini 4 costs $399, £379 or AU$569, While the Mini 4 is definitely more expensive than the Mini 2, what exactly are you getting for that money?, The iPad Mini 4 is slightly lighter and thinner than the Mini 2, It has a faster processor, a better camera and comes in gold -- the iPad Mini 2 only comes in silver and space gray, Both iPads have the same Retina display, Though the Mini patchworks level silhouette iphone x bumper case - black 4's display has a better reflective coating and is fully laminated -- all that to say the screen looks slightly better..

Unlike the iPad Mini 2, the Mini 4 has a fingerprint sensor -- meaning you can use Touch ID and Apple Pay, for added security and to speed up purchases. Also that more powerful processor lets the Mini 4 take advantage of split-screen apps, instead of the Mini 2's slide-over feature. That means the iPad Mini 4 can have two active apps share the screen. Whereas the Mini 2 can have two apps share the screen, only one app can be active at a time -- also, one app is in a tab off to the side. There's a caveat, however: the asking price of the Mini 4 is identical to that of the iPad Air 2, which is slightly faster and has a larger 9.7-inch screen. If you're going to spend up for these features -- another $130, £140 or AU$200 over the Mini 2 -- and if you don't need ultraportability, you might as well go with that larger model.
