Why does the New Yorker iPad mini look messed up. The left side has a gap like a regular iPad, the right side looks like an ipad mini. wtf lol
The iPad does not have a gap. If you look at the New Yorker, there is a black bar on the cover.

This isn't true. The magazine that you would be looking at on the iPad mini isn't a actual scanned version from the magazine. It is actually recreated to fit and work for the iPad. When you zoom into the text on any article, reading, and similar text documents on an iPad or iPhone, it auto focuses the text and clears it out for readers.
I'm sorry, but that is idiotic reasoning. Everyone who has ever used a tablet, especially an iOS tablet knows that the text on the tablet is resizable, and will morph via smart zoom while retaining its original clarity and sharpness. Paper text is one size, and never changes.
If you order one of those grand-spanking-new $3000 iMacs on Friday, they should at least throw in a free iPad Mini.
But Apple doesn't do stuff like this.
I think this was the goal.. to show how small the iPad mini's actual size is.
Like that's a positive thing?
To me, it looks like the iMini has too small a screen to properly express great tablet apps. There are clear limits of how close you can physically place elements on a touch screen before users cannot reliably tap, flick, or pinch them. I think that the 10-inch screen size is the minimum size required to create great tablet apps.
For me the ad highlights why I'd prefer to read a mag on the full sized iPad.

For me it reminds me of why it's a better and more enjoyable experience to purchase a magazine and read it at your leisure. No idea why someone wants to read a magazine on their iPad. I get the feeling we do it, simply as we can. It offers an inferior experience to reading a proper printed magazine.
Couldn't think of anything worse than reading a printed magazine on an iPad mini screen!

Too much white in the back cover.

While I won't deny the absolute brilliance of the ad, I will question the market placement.
Those magazines are shriveling up for a variety of reasons. The market is shifting on its own, and most everyone that reads New Yorker or Time are completely familiar with the iPads and their capabilities. On the magazine side, their greatest advertising is their physical copy which litters coffee tables, waiting rooms, news stands, etc. Once the shift to digital is complete, they will vanish within years due to their ability to provide last week's propaganda and talking points rather than current content. Unless they catch the eye of on-liners, which they won't, they will be catering to a dying audience. Literally.
