Mini me!!
I absolutely love that iPad mini. I take it with me everywhere! So easy to write on and take notes all day long! I never noticed that it’s dying, because it lasts so long!

Love it, again...
It fits my 'cheap Amazon case', and works great with the new Apple Pencil (Yep, won't even charge the older model), but it's faster and clearer than the previous model, and the battery lasts a lot longer too. I've never had 'jelly scrolling' so can't comment on that but apparently if it's doing that while reading an eBook, you are doing something wrong. The color isn't a deep blue, which was rather interesting. In some light it almost looks grayish. I upgraded because the battery in my Mini 6 was bad, so from a 6, might not be a huge upgrade, but for earlier mini models, this will be very welcome... This is still The One iPad To Travel With!

Just better enough.
This new iPad Mini7 was long and coming, and although it does not have a huge step up over the iPad Mini6, it’s at least 30% faster, and runs AI components, at least double the speed — where they are even supported on the previous iPad mini. I haven’t tried the new Apple pencil, but I understand it is much better for general drawings than the previous version of the pencil. my four year old iPad battery was dying anyway, and the cost of replacing it versus the cost of trading it in on a new iPad mini seven sealed the deal.
