Is the mini 7 worth forking out the extra cash over the A16?

I think the big thing you wanna think about is longevity, better chip will get you more years out of it. A16 is an aging chip and doesn’t even support Apple Intelligence. A mini could be fine if you can find one at a decent price, but I wouldn’t do anything other than the A17 Pro. Hell even an M1 iP

iPad Mini 7 or Lenovo Y700

iPads with A17 Pro and above with ported AAA titles are quite capable for gaming too now. If you are also concerned with longevity there's nothing better than Mini

Why iPad mini

I have both the iPad Pro M4 (Wi-Fi and Cellular) and the iPad mini A17 Pro (Wi-Fi and Cellular) and I like both for different reasons. The mini is good for travel, and it’s sturdier than the Pro (those are ridiculously thin now). Great for using on planes and in hotels.

iPad Pro M4 vs iPad Mini 7

Tandem OLED upgrade forecasted for late in 2026, so not far away from desired Mini. Gurman from Bloomberg and others say. More importantly what is RAM on your M4 iPad. I would not buy one that was below 12 GB, that’s the new minimum standard on Apple’s new Pro devices and new MacBook Air iPad …so to

Why do I have to keep reconnecting my apple pencil usb-c using a cable?

I finally fixed the problem. I had constant problems with my Apple Pencil USB-C losing connection with my iPad Mini 7 despite trying all the suggested fixes. The next time a system update became available I connected my pencil to my iPad and left it connected while installing the update. Apparently

How's the iPad mini for things like journaling and note taking?

I have the iPad mini A17 Pro and love its portability, but I’m an artist and need something bigger for my use case. I’d love to trade for yours if that’s something you’d be interested in. It is engraved but it’s not noticeable with a case.

Đau đầu khi chọn ipad

Welp, nếu buộc phải là iPad thì mình nghĩ Mini 7 sẽ hợp lý hơn. A17 là 5 đời chip sau cái A12X trên Pro 2018. Hạ xuống Mini 6 và tìm bản nhiều bộ nhớ hơn cũng là 1 option nhưng màn trên Mini 6 khá tệ nên mình thấy 7 vẫn là ok hơn Thứ 2 là như mình nói, mình có đủ 3 cỡ máy thông dụng nhất rồi và thực

Anyone else still rocking the 2018 Pro or have you all upgraded?

I got a 2018 12.9 iPad Pro for $225 a few months ago and it is still amazing! I have same use-case as you, plus Outlook and excel for spreadsheets. I also have iPad mini a17 pro. I went into Best Buy to check out the 12.9 iPad Pro m3 (their display model) and brought my 2018 with me. After messing a
