Comparison review
The iPad Pro has a global score of 79.5, which is just a bit better than the iPad mini 4's general score of 75.6. Both tablets in this review come with the same iOS 9.x OS (operating system). Although it's the best we compare here, the iPad Pro design is somewhat thicker and noticeably heavier than iPad mini 4.
IPad mini 4 features a bit better looking display than iPad Pro, because although it has a much lower 2048 x 1536 resolution and a way smaller screen, it also counts with a little bit greater screen density. The Apple iPad mini 4 features as much memory capacity to install games and applications as Apple iPad Pro, both have exactly the same internal memory capacity.
The iPad Pro has a bit better processor than iPad mini 4, and although they both have the same number of cores, the iPad Pro also has a larger amount of RAM. IPad mini 4 captures just a bit better photographs and videos than iPad Pro. Both of them have a same size aperture, the same video frame rates, a 8 megapixels resolution camera and the same (Full HD) video quality.
The Apple iPad Pro counts with a way better battery life than Apple iPad mini 4, because it has a 101% bigger battery size.
Although iPad Pro is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than iPad mini 4, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the iPad mini 4. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy the iPad mini 4, giving up some specs and features, but you will get the most out of your savings.
