When the iPad mini launched in 2012 the choice was simple. On one hand you had the full size iPad with it's Retina display and faster processor, and on the other hand was the thinner, and crucially, lighter iPad mini. As long as you didn't mind the smaller screen and the fact that the processor was inferior to the normal iPad, the mini was the clear choice for anyone put off by the extra bulk of the iPad Air.
All that changed with the launch of the iPad Air and the Retina iPad mini in 2013. If you want smaller and lighter you might think that the new iPad mini is the obvious choice, and if you wanted the faster processor you might presume that the iPad Air is superior, but it's no longer so clear cut and now there is a much less noticeable difference between the two models.
