Youtube tutorials are amazing when it comes to doing those sorts of repairs, I've replaced iphone & xperia batteries and phone screens, saved a lot of money!

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Your right. Youtube is a wonderful thing. Last night it showed me that i could install Google play store onto my Kindle in 5 minutes.
It took me 2 hours.

Another mini iPad fan here, I bought a s/h 2nd gen one I bought about a year ago. Really pleased with it and good battery life.

You need to careful of older Apple devices, the earlier ones using the 32 bit architecture are no longer supported and won’t update to iOS 11.

True, but the 2nd gen iPad mini is fine, and not too expensive second hand. There's a compatibility list at the bottom of this page.

Budget?
Apple vs Android...take it from there. They should all do what you want.
Spend as much as you can, get the newest model you can, get a 'retina' screen (Android might call it something else) and as much memory as possible.
If watching films, go for a larger screen, the mini ones probably won't cut it
Buy from John Lewis who price match the likes of Currys and give an extended warranty for free

The difference is essentially the operating system and a fair bit of money. I love my iPad mini, the screen and colours are excellent but cheaper Android is catching up fast. With iOS every tablet/phone gets updated constantly but this doesn’t always happen with Android. I’d take a look at what is on offer and see if Apple is worth the price hike.
If you want to watch films you really need a big screen.

Sorry vic, don't agree. I'd buy a unit of appropriate performance/spec for what the buyer wants to do with it. I consider these things disposable. My 10 inch samsung recently died when it should have had lots of life left in it. John lewis guarantee would have made no difference. If it had had a higher spec, which i didn't need, it would just be a better class of landfill.
