I know I can’t be the only one excited about the new iPad mini. I have a mini2 & will finally be upgrading. I didn’t see a need to upgrade when the 4 came out, but now my 2 is showing its age. The larger iPads are too big for me & the 4 was just too old.

Will you all get a new Mini?

I’m waiting for mine to be available for pickup at Best Buy. I’m hoping today!

At this point in my life, the iPad in any iteration is not on my list of items to have. Granted, I have to use an iPad at work for testing and demo purposes, but for personal use, I’ll stick with my iPhone and MacBook Pro.

I use it a lot when I’m in my room & not reading. I don’t have a TV in the bedroom, so it comes in handy. I also love the size. This is only my 3rd iPad & I’m pretty sure it’ll be another 5+ years before I even consider upgrading again.

No iPad Mini for me since we have 3 iPads in our household plus I have a MacBook Pro so not enough use cases for us to justify one. There's definitely a love and niche for the mini. Enjoy your upgraded iPad Mini!!

@nikkisharif I'm excited for you! It does sound perfect for you, and I'm glad that Apple has produced a new iPad mini! I can't wait to hear how you like it.

My teen son has my old iPad Pro (original 9.7” cellular model) and uses it on occasion to surf the web and watch movies, but still, the bulk of his movie watching is on his iPhone.

Whenever he tells me he’s watching a movie, it’s on his iPhone, even though there’s a working 32” flat screen TV in his room...smh

I'll pass. The mini has never interested me. Though I may see if my wife has interest in it.

The mini is definitely a niche product, but I’m glad Apple decided to upgrade it for those of us that are rocking really old minis. I can’t wait until it’s in my hands LOL

I use my 9.7” Pro at work. I was a big mini fan but my mini 4 is now my 2 year old’s iPad. Can’t see me getting a new mini. Then again.... you never know. Lol

Not for me. I’m getting an iPad Pro 12.9”

I am past home buttons and bezels in my life. Feels very archaic.

Had they shrunk the bezel, it would be a no brainer, BUT for now I will stick to my 10.5 inch. :)

Well said! While it's not for me, it is for a lot of people. Variety is a good thing!
