    Great product, I just wish that it had the Face ID and edge to edge screen like all the other iPads, I guess that’s why the mini is so much cheaper though

    Loses points for not having a built in flashlight, lack of face recognition ( still on fingerprint reader) and lack of dust/water resistant and adequate screen protector for Apple pencil (still on1st Gen) or bumper case for those who dont care for folio case. Doesn't seem like a big upgrade from the mini 4. Still it's a fun little device to have
