hmmm. i am tempted to get the new ipad mini to replace my current ipad air 4. i used the 1st generation ipad mini and switched to the bigger one after they stopped updating the mini line up for a while but I really do miss the small form factor and lightness.

True. This would be used for bedroom watching or casual reading since i think the ipad pro 11 inch I am using now bit heavy and overkill.

I am using ipad air 4 and also have the same sentiments as you haha. Ipad air feels heavy to use at bed

Is there any verification process if we order from the education store?

Same here. Got my SMS and email saying it is shipped.
DHL Express from Singapore.

Most likely Ipad arrive first before all my accessories arrive from China blink.gif

Setting up the new mini 6 from my current ipad air 4 is so easy. just place my old ipad nearby and do some authentication and boom, all done.

(sorry if outdated as when I upgrade to my ipad air, i have to factory reset my very old ipad therefore cannot get to experience the wireless method)

I got both the same case (from different seller) and SP.

My opinion on them:
Case: The material quality is quite good. It will make your ipad looks thick since there are 2 cases technically (a case that clips to your ipad and then the cover that "wraps around the ipad with the case"). In return, the protection is very good when moving around.

SP: Just my feeling but the coating seems not oleophobic enough that I do see finger print here and there. Need to clean it often. Not sure if there is a better SP out there that gives better oleophobic coating. Installation is pretty easy with that plastic guide.

Anyone can recommend any good internet plan for this ipad mini?
Tried to register for Unifi Bebas but their system always down.
Will use the mobile data occasionally so prefer low cost plan (and long validity)

I ordered the Hoda TG directly from Hoda and Folio casing from Apple.

No available TG or case ready stock now. Naked it is! 🤪

Is Hoda a very good quality TG? Give a review once you applied it. biggrin.gif

What is the limitation/problem with buying from Apple Education store as the seller highlight that statement in his sell thread?

Back plastic or TPU? Will become yellowish?

I have the exact same case (& colour) above (bought from ASH seller) and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the back plastic will turn yellow since it is a generic no name branded case.

How about the pencil? Csn attach to the device with the bumper or attach to the outside cover?
*
The pencil will stick using magnetic on the outside of the detached shell case. And I think the external folio will use that flap to wrap over the pencil
Note: This is my assumption as I do not have a Apple pencil or any pencil of sorts. I use my ipad mini mainly for media consumption
