For years I've been using an old 2017 10.5" iPad Pro as a magnifier and general-use tool on my workbench. However, it was getting slow and cranky, plus the battery was losing charge pretty quickly. I decided to replace it with this iPad mini, since compared to most dedicated accessibility tools, it's rather inexpensive.
It turned out to be a good choice. The camera is sharp, and the form factor makes it easy to get into cramped spaces. Not to mention it's light: at half the weight of my iPad Pro, I almost tossed it in the air the first time I used it.
What came as a surprise is how much I turn to it for other needs. It's nice to use sitting on the couch and having VoiceOver read news stories to me, or to have text conversations with friends, etc. Because it has a decent A15 SoC, it doesn't lag when doing VoiceOver. Plus, the battery life is amazing.
It's a decent tool, and I expect I'll be using it for many years.
Pros:
* Higher resolution: One of the main factors that led me to buy this tiny beast was the screen resolution (319 ppi), which is higher than any other iPad's resolution. I highlight this feature because I use my iPad primarily to read and watch IT videos.
* Portability (it's really lightweight! You will be astounded when you pick one of these)
* Size (You can hold the whole device with one hand while writing with the other, something unthinkable in larger iPads).
* Battery life (Discharge rate: about 5% / hour when playing videos; Charge rate: about 10% / 14 min)
* TouchID (Very convenient, and it recognizes the fingerprint very quickly)
* Stereo speakers (they sound really good!)
* Apple Pencil support (When paired with an Apple pencil, it's a breeze. I'm using a note-taking application that allows me to use my iPad as a small notebook. It made me wish I had done this while I was still studying).
* Three months of Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and Apple Music (Apple gives you three months of Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and Apple Music by only purchasing the device. So I'm enjoying a series in Apple TV+ "For all mankind" and it really looks great in this screen. I'm planning to watch other productions during these three months).
Cons:
* No silent mode switch (I use teh control center to lower the volume when needed)
* No FaceID (I use the TouchID and it's very convenient and fast)
* No raise to wake (I gently double tap the screen to wake it up).
* No Promotion (There is no workaround to this. The device has a standard 60hz screen, so you will have to decide if you accept it or not)
* Some users report sort of a "jelly effect" in the screen when you fast scroll the screen. I haven't noticed anything similar to this behavior in any direction (up, down in vertical nor portrait mode).
A word of advice about storage:
* If you're thinking about this device, go for the 256 GB one. That was my selection, and I'm glad I did it, because after only one week of usage, I have already used 35 GB of storage. Had I selected the 64 GB version, I would be worried about the storage already.
Conclusion:
The iPad mini lacks some features its bigger brothers have, but despite this fact, this is totally a great device. If you can sacrifice those features in favor of portability (or you find a way to sort them, as I did), you won't regret. Hopefully we will be able to see an "iPad Pro Mini" in the future (I hope Apple folks read this review someday), but for now, I'm very happy with this purchase. I'm declaring myself an iPad mini fan from now on.
I don’t typically like how Apple handles things, but I always give them props when it comes to their hardware and software experiences. Because they’re the manufacturer of both, their products work with no issues, and seem to have better 3rd party software support than android devices. Also, this’ll have updates for years to come. Overall, I think this is the best tablet I’ve used. Apple has apparently been dominating the tablet space, and now I finally know why.
