This wasn‘t exactly planned but man is it a nice upgrade

I still have my 2021 M1 iPad Pro 12.9" and have no desire to upgrade yet. The M silicon is truly a work of marvel from Apple and have only had a previous iPad Mini 5 for 4.5 years, when I upgraded to the iPad Mini 7 (and that one was noticeably slower after all those years: A12 to A17 Pro)

Stage manager works amazing on the mini 7. It’s a shame Apple doesn’t officially support it.

Currently using Stage Manager on my mini 7 with an external display, keyboard & mouse. Didn’t realize how useful this feature is. Now I’m debating returning for an iPad Air, even though it’s a little bigger. Or, never updating my mini 7, because this Stage Manager “tweak” was patched out in ipadOS 1

Do you have a screen protector on your iPad and do you use an Apple Pencil? Why or why not?

Yeah, a matte one, iPad mini A17 Pro, Pencil USB-C. I make notebooks on Preview (with a PDF legal pad template). Currently waiting for one that is actually gritty like paper. Don't care if I wear out nibs, Apple makes more. It matches my on the go system of literal pen and A5 paper. Scan and load in

iPad mini 7: Mainly use to consume all sorts of media - YouTube, Netflix, News Articles, Books.

Which IPad to play ?

The iPad Mini 7 (A17 Pro) is powerful enough to run Apple’s AI features so if the size doesn’t put you off, it should be a good iPad for you. The hard drive starts at 128GB.

macOS/iOS friendly?

Currently I run the Supernote Partner application for macOS as well as iOS and it allows me to upload and organize from my Apple devices, but there is no app support for any of the apple OS on a SN device. That's actually why I appreciate it so much more. I have my iPhone 16 Pro, M5 MacBook, iPad mi

How good is iPad mini 7 for PPSSPP/Delta ?

I don’t have iPad mini 7, but even for iPhone XR (old model from 2019, running on A12 processor), both PPSSPP and Delta runs smooth, so they should run fine (or even better) on an A17 Pro processor like iPad mini 7.
