Ars Technica says the iPad mini is improved but hard to justify

Ars Technica’s reviewer sees a real step forward in the mini: its chip is current, its speakers are better, and the new 8.5-inch OLED replaces the previous 8.3-inch IPS screen. The display can hold its own against other premium tablets, and the review says there’s little more to ask of an iPad this small. Then comes the comparison with the iPad Air: the mini costs just $50 less than the larger, more powerful 11-inch model. The upgrades make the mini more competitive, but the reviewer still finds that price gap hard to justify.
