My kid's iPad Mini 2 died at the right time... laugh.gif

Then again if they have massive clearance sale for iPad Mini 4 right now I'd take one.. don't need Apple Pencil or 256GB for my kid.

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.

Maybe I should scout around in Garage Sale and see if there are good deals for iPad Mini 4 now laugh.gif

noticed that bolehland price is cheaper than lion city price.

Apple did say they were gonna factor local currency in their product pricing after dismal sales of their overpriced iPhones so let’s hope this is a sign of things to come.

From my experience, they are quite hard to sell off bro, unless you are prepared to lose quite a bit sad.gif

All the best though!

does anyone using mini to watch movie?

I did on my son's iPad Mini 2 previously. But no, I wouldn't buy a Mini solely for multimedia consumption. The 9.7" one would be better.

There is no mention of delivery time

Many may say with the new iPhone XS Max the iPad mini maybe redundant. However, it is not the case. One can easily see that iPad mini the screen size, on number may look not Super big difference with the max one but the difference is quite significant in real.

Yup, it is about 1.4” bigger diagonally, and so that’s significant but I can also understand the argument of not needing a Mini when you already have an XS Max. That’s why for those who need an iPad for media consumption I’d recommend the 2018 9.7” instead.

I personally think these 2 are very diff product and target very different set of people.
If you love the Mini form factor and it portability, you will not look at the Air.
If u suddenly found yourself wanting a larger screen and slightly more modern form factor (with that slightly small bezel), then get the iPad Air.  icon_rolleyes.gif

By the way, Air could be better with the new IOS features of split screen, video on top your screen etc. It even better IF Apple ever redesign their iOS specifically for iPad...and call it pOS?
*
Agreed, but no, Apple won’t have a different OS design for iPads laugh.gif

I wouldn’t mind having macOS on iPads though, hahaha...

actually not many 'new' products they can really launch in the coming keynote already.
rumours new ipad and ipad mini have been out.
airpod gen 2 has been out.
iMac with upgraded spec has been out.

only possiblity for the coming event is to release new macbook with bigger screen??
but seriously the possibility is not really high i would say.

all the devices with just spec bump did not get announced thru the event but receive quiet upgrade on website.
it should mean, if they are really going to announce any new hardware, it must be redesigned one. else, they would have already announced now.

The elusive AirPower? laugh.gif

*
23 out of 256GB. Shocking huh? laugh.gif

Tried to downgrade on Garage Sale few weeks ago but no takers, hahaha

no surprised actually. if it is iphone, one can finish even the 256GB model within 2 to 3 years time. but ipad, unlikely becos ipad is mainly media consumption device and not capturing devices.

i just made my order of ipad mini 64GB WiFi model. haha. delivers 1 to 4 April.
i am on 128gb ipad mini 2 but i know i am not making full utilization of the storage. i do have video files on the ipad but they are mostly idle and i only watch it to kill time if i have no internet connection to stream video. haha.
*
Ahh, ok. Congrats! I'm gonna wait, might get a 9.7" iPad 2018 for my son instead if I can get a good deal during Lazada's birthday sale next week.

Ya, I think quite pointless to upgrade from Mini 4, unless you need Apple Pencil.

i super, super, super, super, super....highly doubt so...  tongue.gif hahaha.

higher chance is zero new hardware announced next week.

Yeah, they rolled out all their usual Spring product updates already so nothing steals the thunder from whatever announcement they have next week.

It’d be nice to dream of an iPhone SE2 though laugh.gif
