My first week with the iPad mini (2024) was fantastic and frustrating
- The iPad mini has a unique form factor and great hardware that makes it pleasingly palm-friendly and lightweight, making it ideal for reading and gaming.
- However, the asking price of the iPad mini is $500, which is expensive, with Android devices doing better in almost every situation where the iPad mini seems to excel.
- It is a fantastic companion device for someone who needs to simultaneously juggle workplace communication, task management apps, Gmail, and WhatsApp.
- The iPad mini has a small battery that loses steam quickly, and the 60Hz screen refresh rate is no longer enough compared to 90Hz or 120Hz screens.
- The iPad mini is a bit limited in its functionality, with no real use-case scenarios that make it an indispensable device for anyone.
- It performs well in certain tasks, like reading, watching videos, and split-screen functions, but it has an identity crisis and could use a proper screen upgrade.
- The Apple Watch and AirPods are pricey, and using them with the iPad mini is part of the seamless interoperability that makes the iPad mini more useful.
- The iPad mini is a decent device, but it could be more functional, and the asking price of $500 doesn't help its cause.
- A detailed review will be released soon, following more comprehensive testing.
- Overall, the iPad mini's target market is perhaps those who are already heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, but for others, it may not be a great fit.
