Is surprised it’s even still around.

I don’t think I’d want the smaller screen size as it’s not much bigger than a phone screen.

I’d rather just get an iPad for about half the cost

The iPad Mini physical size is actually useful by itself. The problem isn’t the actual physical screen size, it’s that damn new Liquid Glass design that now wastes so much screen space for no reason at all.

I’ve had the Mini 2, the Mini 4, and was so happy with them. Last December when I upgraded to the Mini 7, I ws so frustrated with the stupidly small usable area iPadOS 26 left us with, I ended returning the device.

I’m still sour about it. And MacOS is no better. We now have crazy high resolution on our devices, and it’s now wasted by gimmicky looks.

OS 27 is at least less buggy, but still frustrating.
