iPad mini

“The iPad mini has the problem that it won't fit into the smaller pockets, like pants pockets, shirt pockets, smaller purses, etc.”

“I'm probably set for a while, but it would be nice to have an upgrade path in the future”

“Durable, yes. Given how many hours each of my iPads has spend in my kids' hands I can't really complain on that front.”

“It also surprisingly fits in the pockets of nurse uniforms.”

“only being able to mirror to an external display, especially at this price, is a no from me”

“this is now the smallest device you can take on trips to have it become a workstation”

“it's certainly a better fit to consider it a line drawn between "pro" and "not pro" for marketing and pricing purposes”

“an OLED display (especially with this nanotexture stuff) will make a huge difference”

“Less than half the price and less fragile, for people who often carry a bag or purse with them.”

“It's the least needy, most capable of my devices. I bring it everywhere.”

“it's €749 vs €549 in 2021”

“With OLED, this is going to be the best e-book reader in dark mode”

“The no camera bump is the most important part. It is completely flat on both sides.”

“which is downright insulting for what is essentially a cheap smartphone without a screen or battery”

“Taxi/uber drivers who use them as bigger displays for their maps and apps.”

“now with this recent releases Apple is just going for: it's expensive because that's the only way we can keep growing”

“the price is a bit high, that's the history of Apple though”

“Value/$ in iPad basically has not changed since 2022. Inflation (general and AI/antitrust-driven component shortages) has cancelled out technical gains.”

“A 40% price increase compared to pre June pricing, a 60Hz display (that’s likely just software locked), and still starting at 128GB of storage.”

“It’s also a surprisingly good workhorse by itself, or as a second screen for a MacBook.”

“was a really enjoyable device for consuming content, reading stuff, etc.”

“just small enough to fit on my pocket but big enough to read a whole page of code”

“the iPad mini is 8.3" - a book for example - like the iPad Mini is.”

“Apple will sell you a refurbished iPad mini for $379 and you’ve got nothing to setup.”

“The thing I like about the iPad Mini is that it's an optional carry.”

“The iPad Mini is such an underrated device. For years they have been my primary computing device.”

“iPad mini is awesome for reading however, it took forever until Apple powered it up.”

“It's quite nice that the ipad mini does not have whatsapp or SMS plugged into it”

“I am tired rotating the damn thing trying to find where the Touch ID button is”

“Such a great form-factor and doesn't pretend to be a laptop replacement”

“plus its guts served in the also-long-lived first gen iPad mini”

“The iPad mini is great for reading books (what I bought it for)”

“I bought and iPad Mini Nov 20th, 2013, and it still works.”

“It's one of those devices that just quietly do their job forever.”

“I have a wonderful old ipad mini that's useless. I'd love to jailbreak it and put my OS on there but Apple wants a new sale instead.”

“I can barely install or use any software though because it's not supported on such an old OS.”

“Jelly scrolling on the iPad mini was a noticeable issue that should never have shipped”

“a mobile backup device that can double as 2nd monitor for laptop”

“completely silent and disconnected device that packs lighter than books and art supplies”

“it simply couldn’t run the home screen without stuttering and visible frame rate drops”
