Re: Getting new iPad question

The specs are pretty much the same as the iPad Air so I would say yes to your question.

I’ve had the original iPad Mini and although I liked it, it was too small for me. With that being said, if I were in the market for a new iPad, but couldn’t choose the iPad Pro then it would probably be the 10.5 inch iPad Air.

This is exactly what I would do as well. The mini is too small for me because I use my iPad as my primary computer. That said, it's a matter of personal preference. Before purchasing one, I would check it out completely at a retail location. Since Apple Stores have been closed temporarily, I would check out other authorized dealers, such as Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Sam's Club and possibly Costco.

I had a went from a 9.7 to a mini years ago. Mini was way too small. When I upgraded my 10.5 inch iPad Pro, I went with the 12.9.

It took a couple days to get used to it, but when I pick up the wife’s 10.5, it seams small. Go big.

It will be supported for at least 5 years. It was released in 2019. Apple supports everything for at least 5 years. I have an iPhone 5 that got an iOS update last year. It was 7 years old at the time. Turned it on one day there was an update. THAT is support. Went from 10.3.3 to 10.3.4.

I have a mini 5, and it’s great. I also have the 11” and the 13” Pros.

is the only difference between the air and the mini .22 inches screen difference

I love the size and weight of the mini. Use it way more than my iPad Pro.

 

[Chris Cook5]

Are you able to really notice the difference between the screen size of the air and the mini? I’m really thinking about returning mine but I don’t think I will notice that much difference. i’m loving my mini but what do you guys think

 

[Speedygi]

Very likely.
