for me, portability.

the main reason i bought the iPad Mini
*
+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...

Ideally iPad mini 256gb wifi + cellular should be the future proof option if one plans to use it for 5 years or more.

cellular option will be useful to go around and it can be used as a mifi if you have extra data SIM card to use or going overseas.

I will certainly get the space grey colour. After owning all the iPad mini with white front, I think it is still better for the black front version.

good point on mifi, plus with its huge battery (compared to phone) and ios efficient power management.... it would be a great mifi device.

... and now u r making my color decision more difficult biggrin.gif

Actually i do agree, nothing is comparable with iPad mini 2019 on same class.

Been using Huawei mediapad m5 8in, argueably thr most powerful small tablet around (before the new mini announcement), still cant beat ios in term of app for tablet availability.

Haha. This mini already almost most updated to spec.
What do we expect Apple to put in the Pro? Except the form/bezel?
*
well, A12x instead of A12
promotion 120mhz
usb type-c
apple pencil 2 gen
4 stereo speakers

hmm.... spend so much for earpods?
does it really make so much different? what is the selling point?

i am very tempted to get the Sony 1000 MX3.

Having been using both Airpods and WH1000MX3, later is way more worth of money and different level of quality.

I say just go with Sony.
