Back with the Mini

Back in college, the first generation iPad Mini was my main device for taking and viewing notes. Great for media consumption too. It served me well for years before retiring it when I got the 7th gen iPad. I then upgraded to the 10th gen iPad. While the 10th gen is good device overall. The bigger sc

This wasn‘t exactly planned but man is it a nice upgrade

I still have my 2021 M1 iPad Pro 12.9" and have no desire to upgrade yet. The M silicon is truly a work of marvel from Apple and have only had a previous iPad Mini 5 for 4.5 years, when I upgraded to the iPad Mini 7 (and that one was noticeably slower after all those years: A12 to A17 Pro)

How many of you would be moved by this Macbook A18 Pro?

I’m very tempted. I have the iPad mini 7 that has the A17 pro and that covers MORE than my power needs so the A18 pro in a laptop? I could be very swayed

The family is looking good

Over the past 10 years or so I’ve said that if I could only have one tech device for the rest of my life it would be the iPad. I love my 12.9” iPad Pro (M2) as it’s my main portable device (I use exclusively instead of a laptop), but I wanted something even more portable for both business (I work in

I got my Pixel 9 Pro Fold yesterday - first impressions from an iPhone + iPad mini user

Picked up a Pixel 9 Pro Fold yesterday for A$1000 (~US$650) — couldn’t pass on that deal.

I’ve been using an iPhone 16 alongside an iPad mini (A17 Pro), and my hope was that this single device could replace both. That way, I can hand the iPad to my 5-year-old (who’s already broken two iPads before)

I’ve been using the new iPad Mini with the A17 Pro chip for a month now, after switching from the iPad Air 5, and I’m absolutely loving it.

• Size: The compact size is everything! It’s so handy, cute, and easy to carry around. I didn’t realize how much I’d appreciate the portability until I started

Give Tips & Advices for new iPad mini 7 owner. Please read

That isn’t a mini. I’ve owned a few mini 6s and an a17 pro now since release day and I’ve had no issues with bending on any of them. It could be how those folks stored their iPads in bags?
