I have had an iPad mini 4 64GB WiFi for a few months and love it, but I need cellular so I'll be selling it. A week ago I snagged a refurbished iPad Pro 9.7" 32GB WiFi + Cellular from Apple's online store as a replacement and love it, too, though it's really heavy in comparison. Today I discovered a Verizon deal for a new iPad mini 4 128GB WiFi + Cellular for $330 w/2 year contract (I'm sticking with Verizon so no worries on it being a contract).
I put in an order with Verizon with the intention of requesting a return of the Pro 9.7" after tomorrow's WWDC keynote. In the unlikely event that they announce a new iPad mini (Pro) or I fall in love with the 10.5", if it's shown, I can cancel the Verizon order.
The dilemma? I'm not entirely 100% sure I want to give up the iPad Pro. It's faster and I like True Tone a lot. But I don't need a pencil and the size+weight of the mini is my ideal for content consumption, it's utterly perfect, particularly web surfing and ebook reading on the couch, holding it with one hand. Not to mention it's $300 less... and no, I can't keep both.
As I agonize over the decision you can help out by giving your opinion. What would YOU do in my position? Thanks!
