Just buy if u need it. No major changes in the next gen ipad mini i think. Maybe just processor upgrade and touch ID sensor. smile.gif

I'm using ipad mini retina, the performance of current processor n ram is superb.
I'm using it mainly for browsing, view/edit documents on the go and other productivity apps.
Sometimes for gaming.
Touch ID is not that useful for ipad i think. Haha.

Depends on your usage bro. If play a lot of game, cannot last 9 hours.
I can get 1 day ++ battery life on my usage (emails, social networks, browsing, youtube and skype calls about 2hrs/day). But I'm mostly on wifi at office n home. I'm not sure about whole day using cellular network.

Well, if you want portability, get the iPad mini. It's perfect for traveling/outside use because of its size.

Meanwhile, a full-size iPad is great for web browsing, reading, light document editing and multimedia playback because of the larger display.

If you can wait, then wait.

Rumors and leaks suggest that Apple will release new hardware this September, and that includes iPad mini 3 and iPad Air 2.

Annual refresh of iPad has continue to deliver new SoC each and every time.

Apple dont focus much on processing power, instead focusing more on graphic performance. So, if you dont game much, then it wont be that much of a difference because most of the time, the processing power is under utilized. However, if you game, you might as well wait and see what is up for offer. Gaming performance increase is quite large each time.

If you plan to use it to take photos/videos, then the Mini is a great choice too. The size makes it easier to handle and less awkward when you use it outside.
