    I am using this specifically for my drone. I bought a Mavic Pro from Best Buy in March and I got this to use exclusively for the display. It works great! Love it!

    Ideal size, slowest “new” processor, high price

    Released in 2015, it’s A8 processor (same as iPhone 6s & 6s+) has not been updated since... But if you want the 7.9” screen dimension (I find it perfect for ebooks/inconspicuous at work), this is the only Apple iOS way to go. Currently (as of May 2018) the iPad 2018 (with an A10 processor) is $100 cheaper at Best Buy, but again it’s 9.7” and about twice the size of the 7.9” iPad 4 Mini. Incidentally as of 2018 the iPad 4 Mini’s hard drive has been updated to 128 GB, that’s better than the original 16 it initially launched with, so I guess that’s something. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Mini_4

    Apples crowning jewel: A perfect all use device

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The iPad Mini is probably *the* best purchase you can make in the last 5-7 years out of hundreds of electronic devices invented, by Apple or otherwise. All iPads and minis are great investments and worth every dollar but with the mini it's more bang for the buck, being an incredibly intuitive all round tablet 90% of the population can find to useful for personal and professional use. The base model runs on wi-fi, which saves money because it doesn't require a data plan (which can be expensive). It's size and capabilities outmatch larger, heavier devices (like the larger iPad or Air, which go for $200+) and screen is large enough to enjoy clear viewing of videos/clips/tv and beats struggling to see that on a small screen cel phone. I recently upgraded to a new laptop and cel phone yet find I use my mini iPad more than both combined. I take it everywhere without any effort and is lightweight enough to forget your have it in a bag/purse. Has plenty of memory, a clear sharp screen, easy to use keyboard, high quality camera and speakers. Battery life is very long and charges fast. My 2nd generation mini (from late 2014) was still working just fine but I only decided to upgrade when I saw a sale on the newest model (mini 4) with more memory which I was needing because I take thousands of photos & create music. I was happy to give my older iPad-mini to my Grandma who loves it to bits, though never had any interest in having a cel phone or new fangled computer. She's 87, sharp mind but slowing down activity wise so appreciates the minis lightweight easy to keep at hand size, and can use it effortlessly without worrying about security issues, hacking, loss of personal info, or learning the ins and outs of the cumbersome Microsoft world of old computing with hunting through and creating files, patches, debugging, mind numbing upgrades, etc. She uses it to check email and text messages from family, gets pics of them and friends, does her banking, makes and checks pharmacy medicine refills and online Scripps shipments, checks doctor appts, reads news from all over, research her particular interests, watches many things through YouTube, reads e-books, listens to fav music, streams digital radio, loves podcasts, and fun stuff like downloaded cool (free) apps from the Apple store- plays new easy to learn but challenging games like Flow, Triominoes, Tap Colors, and old favorites like Othello, solitaire, Scrabble, Concentration, Chess, etc. It's hugely important for seniors to stay busy, use their mind and be connected with people or they can slip deep into depression and worsen conditions like dementia, etc. If they're not able to socialize in a personal way due to geographical or physical limitations using just this type of device can keep them interested, learning new things and engaged. Going online is second best- and the new tech capabilities makes it very easy and affordable now versus being tied to a cumbersome old desktop computer or bulky heavy laptop, or restricted to a tiny cel phone screen and keyboard with limited data and space. Note you can also watch live TV and movies via common cable subscriber apps (Comcast/Xfinity etc) you can download for free and use even if its a family member or friend who is the primary cable acct holder. I've done this with Xfinity and chip in for a close friends monthly cable subscription rather than waste money having my own acct and paying for services I don't need. This TV app is extremely handy and allows for watching anywhere- sitting at at desk/table/in bed, waiting somewhere (doc office/airport/etc). With things like this no wonder many people are cutting basic cable home service! Besides that there are hundreds of handy apps that open up new worlds and the only limitation is a closed, uncurious mind. Life's short, don't hesitate to explore and embrace this amazing technology tool.

    Best iPad size

    I have been using the iPad Mini for 3 years now. Upgraded to the Mini4 this year. Love having more storage. I have always thought that the regular size iPad is too big. The mini is light, easy to handle, and is the correct size to read. The iPads are more like big phones, not work stations. There for surfing the web, online browsing, and reading and some work. The Mini is the way to go. Better price and easier to use. Definitely reccommend, pairs well with the iPhone.

    My favorite tablet

    This is the fifth tablet I've owned, and the third iPad. This is my favorite of all five. I like the size -- it's big enough to comfortably view ebooks, video, etc., but small enough to easily carry around. At work, I carry an A5-sized notebook and the iPad Mini is very close to that size, so it's easy to carry around with my notebook, and it's much easier to type emails and look things up, compared to using my mobile phone. Ther performance is very snappy, the screen looks great, and I am running iOS 11 on it, which works perfectly on the Mini. I have had a couple of similarly-sized Android tablets, but in my experience, the iPad Mini blows them away on both performance and battery life.

    This is a perfect size for personal watching of movies and videos: Big enough to see details; small enough to carry around easily. And, with 128GB of storage, you don't have to sacrifice anything in visual quality to have dozens and dozens of great movies to have handy on a long vacation. Not to mention that it has the latest iPhone features, such as fingerprint recognition, and an improved camera. Not quite an iPad Pro, but, with the right app, it is fast enough for many graphics applications, too. The extra cost for a good case and screen protection is a killer, though, because of the iPad Mini 4's different size from earlier versions of the iPad Mini. Protection comes to 1/5 the cost of what I paid for the Mini 4, alone.
