There's actually only a very small difference between the Mini 2 and Mini 3. This is mainly the finger print reader on the Mini 3 and that the storage sizes are different (Mini 2 comes in 32GB whilst Mini 3 skips the 32GB model). Otherwise, same processor, same graphics, same RAM, same everything else.

In fact, most people rather Mini 2 given it was a good $200+ cheaper for essentially the same hardware bar the fingerprint reader.
The Mini 3 is identical to the 2 except for the finger print reader. I wouldn't be judging others for buying a 2, you brought the same device, for more. Lol.
I paid $495 for a 64Gb Mini 3 two years ago… I doubt that very much.
I'm a victim as anyone really, I dont want to pay $500 for an Apple device at all but hey, NSW EDU says you have to.
What do you doubt?
NSW Dept. of Education? They don't force you to buy iPads. They don't even officially support them!
@stdusract: Pretty sure the Dept of Ed is on BYOD these days (or more like CYOD with your own money and limited list). iPads are a luxury items as is Macbooks.
Yeah, @tonyjzx you couldn't be more wrong with that last statement. @stdusract is 100% correct.
I use an iPad Air (same hardware as mini 2) as my primary tablet, its faultless for what I use it for.
Even running ios10 without an issue.
Got a mini 2 to use as a screen for my DJI Phantom 4 and it works for that but even basic things like youtube are quite choppy, if you have to have an Apple go for a mini 4 or air 2 if you can.
Mini 2 runs flawlessly on iOS 9
Didn't risk updating to iOS 10
Haven't really felt the need to upgrade in the 3 years I've had it
You need a factory reset and reinstall. That will fix any performance issues.
No IOS 10 for iPad 3 very sad.
Original they said would have.
I have a iPad 3, they should of stopped the updates with iOS 6. Became a slow brick with iOS >= 7
But if you buy a new one, problem solved :) #applelogic
Err
I am on IOS 9.3
Without issue
I mean.. updating to IOS 10 and a factory reset will give reasonable performance.
Truth be told I much prefer iOS 9 anyway
Mot such a fan of ios10 on my iPhone SE. Runs super smooth but personally think the OS is uglier
This is a good deals for kids or work use with simple apps.
I use Mini 2 daily (for over 2 years now I think) for work and it works really well.
I've had a mini 2 for nearly as long and I agree, it still works extremely well and handles video streaming (Netflix and YouTube) and web browsing perfectly.
Aside from running graphically intensive games, I think it's still perfectly useable.
Ye olde teche
i still think this was a really good deal.

Jeez I bought a Mini 3 and it seemed old at the time but I was forced to for educational reasons but a Mini 2… with the Mini 4 already a year old… talk about selling mutton as lamb.
