At one point, Apple even had a three-and-a-half-year gap between new iPad Mini models, giving the impression of a neglected product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But having recently purchased an iPad Mini for the first time in nearly a decade, I\u2019m back to thinking that it\u2019s Apple\u2019s best tablet. While it\u2019s less capable than its larger siblings\u2014as evidenced in my <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2022\/10\/25\/10-25-2022-the-fun-way-to-pick-an-ipad\/\">iPad Decision Flowchart<\/a> from last fall\u2014it\u2019s also the purest expression of what an iPad ought to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not a laptop<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One reason I strayed from the iPad Mini in the first place was my interest in using a tablet in place of a laptop, at least some of the time. The iPad&#8217;s combination of light weight, long battery life, and fun apps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3S5BLs51yDQ\">made the idea seem intriguing<\/a>, and over the years Apple has tried to accommodate laptop-like uses with trackpad support and more multitasking modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But despite my best efforts, I just <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2021\/03\/30\/3-30-2021-the-great-ipad-vs-laptop-debate\/\">couldn\u2019t get the iPad-as-laptop habit to stick<\/a>. The iPad\u2019s software and app support is just too limited for me, and trying to accomplish the same work I\u2019d otherwise do on a Windows PC or Mac always led to frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iPad Mini is very much not trying to be a laptop replacement. It lacks the keyboard accessories that Apple offers for its larger iPads, and it doesn\u2019t support the (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macstories.net\/stories\/stage-manager-ipados-16-1-review\/\">much-maligned<\/a>) Stage Manager multitasking feature in iPad OS 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iPad was compelling in the first place because it was basically a giant phone, giving you a bigger surface for the apps you already enjoy using. Without the temptation to use the iPad Mini like a laptop, I can appreciate what it truly does best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just big enough<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-2048x1538.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-600x451.jpg 600w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminirear-900x676.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The other reason I avoided the iPad Mini over the years was the increasing size of smartphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My iPhone 13 Pro Max, for instance, has about 60% of the iPad Mini\u2019s screen real estate, and it has the advantage of always being in my pocket. I\u2019ve done plenty of reading, browsing, gaming, and watching on my iPhone without pining for something marginally bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, for all those things, the iPad Mini is admittedly just nicer. Books are easier to read, videos are easier to see, and web browsing gives you a proper tab row instead of a separate tab screen. The iPad Mini also multitasks better than an iPhone, with a swipe-up app dock and split-screen support. I&#8217;ve been using the latter a lot, not for work, but to watch baseball while scrolling through <a href=\"https:\/\/writing.exchange\/@Newmy\">Mastodon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the iPad Mini feels less cumbersome than a full-sized iPad. I can reach the entire screen with just my thumbs, and find myself carrying it around the house more often because of how light it is. Weird as this may sound, you can curl up with an iPad Mini like a book, whereas a regular iPad forces some extra distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The perfect notepad<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ipadminiandfriends-1-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>None of this explains the real reason I reconsidered the iPad Mini in the first place: I wanted to use it like a notebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With my old iPad Pro, the main thing I used it for was taking notes during interviews, <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2021\/03\/02\/3-2-2021-an-ode-to-audio-notes\/\">using the Notability app<\/a> and an Apple Pencil to write things down while capturing audio. My <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2023\/01\/10\/1-10-2023-the-next-year-in-tech\/\">return to CES this year<\/a> was a reminder of how tiresome this could be, as I had to awkwardly cradle the tablet in my forearm while perusing the show floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iPad Mini is more akin to the slim reporter\u2019s notebooks I used to rely on, and being able to magnetically snap an Apple Pencil 2 to the side is pretty convenient. In addition to taking interview notes, I now find myself using the Pencil for other things, like writing down my thoughts before bed as a way to unwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some caveats<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any other tech product, the iPad Mini has trade-offs. Most notably, all of its on-screen elements are iPhone-size, whereas regular iPads make everything larger. While you can use accessibility settings increase text size, some apps will ignore this setting, so you might struggle with an iPad Mini if your vision isn\u2019t great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having launched in the fall of 2021, the sixth-gen iPad Mini is also showing its age in some ways. The 60 Hz screen doesn\u2019t scroll as smoothly as Pro-level iPads, and the lack of an M-series processor renders it incompatible with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/final-cut-pro-for-ipad\/\">the new iPad version of Final Cut Pro<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imore.com\/ipad\/ipad-mini-7\">rumor mill seems uncertain<\/a> about when a 7th-gen model might happen or what upgrades it might offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I&#8217;d really love to see from Apple would be a foldable iPhone that unfurled to iPad Mini proportions and worked with the Apple Pencil, but that&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90678171\/galaxy-z-fold3-review\">a whole other story<\/a>. For now, I&#8217;m happy to tote the iPad Mini around with me as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-button-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-button-color-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">News, tips, and deals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Advisorator&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/subscribe-to-advisorator\/\">paid subscribers<\/a> get the full newsletter every Tuesday, including bonus tips, news roundups, and deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sign up to read <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2023\/05\/23\/5-16-2023-apples-best-tablet-is-its-least-loved\/\">the full issue<\/a><i class=\"ngl-tag-spacer\" id=\"ngl-tag-spacer-1726586287879\">\u00a0<\/i>along with <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/archives-paid\/\">archives<\/a> of every past newsletter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div width=\"100%\" class=\"wp-block-newsletterglue-showhide ng-block\"><div style=\"gap: 20px;\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-01f89e6b-c55e-451f-9f5c-3533e7a10217\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/subscribe-to-advisorator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ub-button-block-main   ub-button-flex\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #587a6c; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-top-left-radius: 10px;; border-top-right-radius: 10px;; border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;; border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;; \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Subscribe<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-button-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-button-color-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Thanks for reading!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Got tech questions for me?
