Good surprise before their event next Monday.
Happy to see iPad mini with good spec.

Yeah- the thick bezel is sooooo outdated. Feels like 2010.

waiting waiting patience....
and watching a number of review to burn time while waiting.

my thought is Apple were smart in releasing the 2 products before the event on 25th March. It nice surprise , even not evolutionary product- it still bring more praise than bash.

If indeed they use the event to launch- expectation could be too high and many gonna condemn and condemn.

Maybe.  Just maybe.. Apple will be launching iPad Pro Mini during the event next week.

Haha. This mini already almost most updated to spec.
What do we expect Apple to put in the Pro? Except the form/bezel?

And it will scavenge this new mini5.

Doubt i need that much storage- but then again... 64GB is barely enough.

If you’re thinking long term (5 years) then 256GB makes more sense. That was my reasoning too laugh.gif

Congrats! I am still waiting for mine.
I won’t bother with screen protector.

For case, my favorite would be Belk- cost around RM40

Oh man, now that I looked at it, this feel really bad. It is already 2019 and Apple still cant remove the damn bezel. We do not need the bezels nor touch id on iPad Mini. Most people would just use it as media consumption or gaming pad, sharing with multiple users.

Remove the damn touch id, bezel, rotation lock/mute sliding button. Enable 360 degree software based rotation lock. This would enable us to use the iPad Mini as it is intended to, picking it up from the bed/couch without looking and be able to use straightaway.

They cant remove if they want....
then it will be ipad mini pro? with the processor - then will be prices 3k++? then people will scream exorbitant price.

so to keep at 2k product.
A) remove bezel and use old processor like A10?
B) keep bezel and use the new processor.

Which would u like?
i think there are a mix of crowd here.

so either u damn, or others damn.
some one will sure damn something.

i think that screen size still ok to use pencil.. note 9 is smaller..

i agree with you.. i’m thinking to downgrade to ipad mini from ipad pro, brcause i want something robust for daily usage. unlike ipad pro, probably due to its exorbitant price, it feels fragile and i feel like i need to be very careful with it. i imagine with ipad mini, it will be more robust for me to use. if it scratch a bit it won’t hurt my feeling. lol.. yeah it will be great if they remove those bezel and buttons.. we just need a mini slab

yeah- the best tools is the tool which willing to follow you around and take all the bashes, scratches.
i have thought of getting the ipad pro too- apart from the price, it is just little too bulky to be carried around and put it to use.
Additionally- it is a little heavier and coz of the size, the center of gravity move further away from our palm.

it make it more tiring to carry with one hand. Mini is most handy so far for extended one hand operation.

mine arriving soon- can't wait to get my hands on it....

Got mine finally...
Some trouble to set up as can’t really back up from my old iPad. Can’t detect even if near despite running OS12.
So pair with phone instead. 😬

Anyway- loving it now and much better experience.

Btw.... some cover might not fit as the volume button is higher up. The overall dimension also slightly large by like 1mm or so- very tight to squeeze in my existing BELk cover.
