Very good spec seriously.

Yeah. Only that bezel is still the same.

But good thing is that it has laminated display with True Tone somemore this is really nice. Even got p3 wide colour gamut.

But to be fair, the bezel is not as thick as iPad Air actually.

Should have sale for iPad mini 4. Haha.

This is the first time Apple does not conpromiuse specs for smaller iPad mini comparing to iPad Air. Exact same spec except no Smart Keyboard support but this function is totally not important to me haha.

It has the highest ppi among all ipad after all even better than iPad Pro. Haha.

Cheaper than my iPad Mini 4 64 GB bought on launch day. IIRC it was around RM2000

This one (base model) is a lot cheaper.

I am tempted to upgrade even though I just replaced my iPad Mini 4's battery 3 weeks ago sweat.gif sweat.gif

How much to replace the battery.

The spec is real good, can easily last for 5 years and above for the current model.

Can someone share your reasons of using iPad mini instead of iPad Air?
Why would someone gets iPad mini instead of iPad Air? price difference not that big considering this is long term investment, and iPad Air is much bigger screen...

+1

Owned ipad pro and varios 10in size tablets. In the end got myself a Huawei Mediapad M5 8in due to the size.

Definitely getting this new ipad mini... Only question is wifi or wifi+cellular...

RM1,499 would've been the sweet spot price. I'll refrain myself from go see the demo set or else definitely gonna buy one biggrin.gif

many people like mini becos of its size....

somemore ipad mini has higher ppi than ipad air.

and also at least now there is a price difference to justify to go for 7.9-inch ipad min instead of 10.5-inch ipad air.
