I wanted to buy a Mini, but they had not updated the processors for them when I was buying, and they cost way more than a regular iPad at the time, I wanted to be budget conscious. I still sometimes regret not just going for the Mini, but I know eventually I'll get one sooner or later.

You know whats even funnier, when the mini came out originally, I made fun of it. I thought it was a dumb concept, oh my ignorance.

I have an iPad Pro 13", and never use it (It's a test machine).

I use the Mini daily.

It's a good thing they made the Pro lighter and thinner. May actually make it more useful.

I have access to multiple iPad sizes and I personally only use the mini. Is almost perfect. Last year of its long life cycle you start to feel the age of the processor but still better than holding the larger devices. Can’t wait for it to be updated again.

I loved my ipad mini. It's super long in the tooth now, and I was hoping to replace it today. oh well...

I wish they would stop doing this weird release cycle where some of their tablets don't get the updated chips. It's really frustrating. Makes me hesitant to buy a tablet if I feel like it could get an upgrade a week later or whatever.

It certainly seems less than ideal for pro/prosumer buyers who care about the chips inside.

I would guess that Apple doesn't love it either; one suspects that the weird release cycle is at least partially related to availability of chips and other components.

I probably would have pulled the trigger on a price drop, but at 600+eur for an old version, I'm just not as into that, as I really expect it to be lasting many years.

I was ready to buy one today, too. Disappointing.

I miss my old iPad mini 4. I guess I could try the 11" iPad, but I think I'd prefer it to be smaller.

Yeah, We've got a full sized iPad here and it's really strange to hold and use. It's all what you're used to.
