    This is my 2nd iPad. Many people will say why 2 and the honest answer is use. I have and love the M4 iPad Pro (13 inch). it works great. But I have found that this iPad mini is a fantastic companion to it. It's just a nice size to make it very useful. Sound quality is fantastic. I really like it and highly recommend it.

    I wanted a small device for all my books, my daughter bought the mini iPad and I love she uses it for school and does all her notes, and small enough for Carie with her even on her pants. I was going to buy a Kindle device but after a sow mi iPad I was sold. I went and bought a mini iPad. I love it!

    I didn't want a big iPad, but I wanted a bigger screen than my phone and something that I could easily pull out of the bag's front pocket, and the Mini does that. The mini can do everything my phone can (this model has cellular) and everything the bigger iPads can do. Its size is what makes it a winner for me. My airline's apps and Maps also helped me navigate the airport. While running through the airport or sitting in the lounge waiting for my flight, I listened to an audiobook and kept up with messages with family. I watched the new Alien movie on the plane and did some light reading. When I am home, it's more of an ebook reader or a recipe book. Its small size is perfect for reading and tends to be something I toss around like a paperback book. It's not odd to lose it in the couch cushions.

    I tried the Gen 6 iPad Mini before this newer model went on sale and will say two things. One, I haven't found much difference between this Gen 7 and the Gen 6 models in terms of performance - although I'm sure the 8GB of RAM will help it last longer. Two, it's a great format to take as an EDC, but in terms of drawing and designing work it is too small to work for long periods of time. Great for on the go light editing and sketching, and reading.

    I really did not need a mini but since Best Buy offered me a decent trade in value for my mini 6 and it was on sale, I went ahead and purchased it for the storage and future proofing the device. As far as I can tell there really was no discernible difference between the 6 and the a17 pro except for Apple intelligence.
