????結論：

????要說蘋果這兩款新iPad提供了“大同小異的特色”，這話既對也錯。大些的那款改進較大，所以用戶會注意到運行更快、體型更輕薄、屏幕看起來更輕松等新特性。iPad 已有的2.25億用戶中，大部分會覺得這些特性是值得為之買單的。

????但iPad mini 3似乎從那款塑料感極強的iPhone 5c身上學到了教訓：在很大程度上，它就是去年的老款偽裝成了新款。換言之：iPad Air 2也許算不上革命性產品，但它還是大有改進的。但mini 3呢？它連這點都談不上。（財富中文網）

????Conclusion:

????To say that Apple AAPL -1.31% served up “more of the same” with its new iPads would be right and wrong. It improved the larger iPad just enough so users will pick up on things like faster performance, a thinner body and a screen that’s easier to read. A good chunk of the 225 million iPad users already out there will find those features worth upgrading for.

????But the iPad mini 3 seems to take a lesson from the plasticky iPhone 5c: for the most part, it’s last year’s model masquerading as something new. In other words: iPad Air 2 might not be revolutionary, but it’s evolutionary. The mini 3? It’s not even that.
