    OLED yes, ProMotion yes, yes. But absolutely, give it a display between 8.5" and 9". OMG it would be so perfect.

      Macbook gets a Pro. Mac mini gets a Pro. iPhone gets a pro. iPad gets a pro. WHY CAN'T iPad mini get a pro? It's really its own product category between the iPhone and the iPad. I mean c'mon, even AirPods gets a pro. MARCH IN PROTEST FOR THE IPAD MINI PRO !!!! ✊🏼

    These are completely different devices. Kinda ridiculous to compare an 8 inch iPad to a 13 inch iPad. One is hand holdable and the other pretty much isn’t.

    Everybody will have a different setup based on their needs. For me I’m struggling with figuring out if I want the Max or regular Pro. Which one I pick will determine which way I will go with a tablet. My situation is that I’m getting the new MacBook Air when it comes out. If I get the Max, I won’t get an iPad at all. If I get the 6.3 inch iPhone, I will most likely get an iPad mini. I leaning just going with the Max and see what Apple do with the new home pod. It supposedly will have a tablet dock of some sort. If that’s the case, that will give me a reason to have a mini docked to that.

    you show a Kindle and the iPad mini shows a lot of disappointment for a kindle. The most glaring obvious is Benzel on a candle are absolutely huge. A lot of display is going to waste. Looks much better on an iPad mini than it does cramped on a Kindle.

    I adore my mini but it needs more ram desperately and could also use more storage. Would definitely prefer a better screen, but despite using my 12.9” M1 Pro for work, I’m not too pressed for that. That said, I definitely notice the worse speakers but that’s an issue with physics

    If budget is a concern then choose among the 11” iPads for their overall versatility. But, do not ditch your old devices, especially if you have an iPad mini lying around. I use three iPads for work. The Apple ecosystem means I can move from device to device pick up where I left off. That means three times the battery life if needed. The iPad mini is still a great device to pick up on the run, especially for note taking or referring to notes. I am not so sure I will want yet a larger iPhone in my pocket. My 14 ProMax is already as large as I care to carry around in a pocket. So, the mini still fills a need. I actually would prefer an iPad Mini in the $350 or less range.

    I got my iPad mini as an e-reader because the text was just too small on my iPhone 4s. With a notebook cover it could pass as a Kindle which many of the others on the bus had so I wouldn't look like "that guy" with an iPad.
    It's CRAZY portable. Big enough but NEVER too big. Light enough to read in bed.
    The Kindle is a dedicated device that can only display Kindle books. Most of my ebooks and PDFs are in Apple Books. And the iPad can do so much more than a Kindle ever could. It's the size of a half-page of letter-sized paper which is PERFECT for my purposes.
    When the physical home button on my old iPad mini broke I considered replacing it with an iPad mini 6, but the 6 is getting long in the tooth. I'm holding out for the highly anticipated NEXT iPad mini.

    This is nonsense. The iPad Pro is NOT a main computer substitute. Apple has purposely crippled iPadOS to prevent it from being used as such. The mini is the most useful iPad. I'll probably end up biting a maxed-out iPad Mini 7... and I'm a Samsung S9 Ultra guy (14.6”.)

      iPad Pro costs more but you get ProMotion. iPad 9th generation, no way. It still has a home button like an old iPhone SE. 🤮Also it has no M-chip. Future proof your investment with a minimum M1 or A17 Pro in all future Apple purchases or you're already getting something that will be obsolete in 2025 !

    I largely agree. I don’t think that the specs justify the $500 tbh. If they add an oled screen, thin the bessels and make it thinner like they did for the iPad pros, I’d be really happy. I got a iPad mini 6 for $400 a few years ago, and it’s been great, but gonna replace it with the 13” pro.

    I want an improved display on the iPad Mini and more storage on the base model. I want it to stay at the same price point or lower. I don't want it to get any bigger. I want to be able to use it with one hand, holding it while I'm lying down or whatever. What I REALLY want is more software related: I want to be able to annotate books right on the book pages itself with my Apple Pencil - with lots of various color choices. Neither the Apple Books app or the Kindle app offer this feature. What a waste! Kobo app offers it - come on Apple and Kindle! 🙂
