I’ve been using the iPad Mini for a few weeks now, and it’s been a game-changer. I love how it fits perfectly in my bag, making it super convenient to carry around. Whether I’m reading e-books during my commute or watching videos in bed, the display is sharp and clear. The Apple Pencil works like a charm for jotting down notes and sketching ideas. It’s become my go-to device for both work and play. It’s just so easy to pick up and use for any task that pops up during the day. Whether I’m scheduling my day, replying to emails, or unwinding with a game, the iPad Mini handles it all effortlessly. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a versatile and portable device.

I really do not understand what people are complaining about with the new iPad Mini 7th Gen. I purchased the iPad Mini 6th Gen WiFi 64GB for $399, prior to knowing about the upcoming official iPad Mini 7th Gen, which happened a few days afterward. So, I returned the Mini 6th Gen and pre-ordered the Mini 7th Gen WiFi 128GB for $499. The Mini 7th Gen has the A17 Pro chip compared to the A15 chip in the Mini 6th Gen. The Mini 7th Gen has double the memory (8GB) over the Mini 6th Gen (4GB), offers 128GB-512GB storage rather than 64GB-256GB, and also has Bluetooth 5.3, rather than Bluetooth 5.0. Apple also did not raise the prices. Did I mention that the Mini 7th Gen has identical dimensions, meaning any prior cases, screen protectors, or other Mini 6th Gen accessories will fit perfectly. Yes, the Mini 7th Gen is currently $100 more than the Mini 6th Gen, but it is also 3 years newer, which means it will receive official iOS updates for 3 years longer. For me, I think it was worth the additional $100.

I LOVE the iPad mini 7! The screen size is perfect for one hand and the new screen (way better than 10th gen) and processor will keep it fast for years. The colors are a little muted for my taste, but they’re still cute! The 128gb is plenty for most iPad users and a welcome upgrade to the previous 64gb which was a little limiting for me especially with movies or shows for the plane.
