I currently have the iPad mini five. I’m debating on rather I should trade that in and get the new iPad Air or what should I do

Is your current iPad not performing to your satisfaction? If not then consider upgrading. If it is performing to your satisfaction then don’t consider upgrading unless you simply want a new iPad.

If I was making the choice I would get the Air. Even though I love the size of the Mini, the Air is newer tech & you’re able to use the Apple Pencil & Magic Keyboard if you choose. Plus there’s the fingerprint scanner in the power button...I’ve always hated the home button lol

I thought the mini 5 was compatible with the  pencil for some reason?
