Edit: I would be fine with them reducing the bezels for a larger screen, as long as the overall size doesn't change.Bigger display (closer to 9") and OLED would be great. + CPU & memory refresh.
Do you reckon we need smaller bezels or is that also too much screen? I’m happy with the size of my mini but not the display, that’s for sure.I think at 9" you might as well get a regular iPad. The current size seems right in my opinion. To each their own though.
This part I agree with, the rest is train of thought rambling.The iPad Mini should have the M1 chip at the very least
In your opinion, of course. 😉This part I agree with, the rest is train of thought rambling.
That was my first thought. I want one but after the screen tearing on the 6…Now with jelly scrolling in five new delicious flavors!
I’m envious - I couldn’t stand it. But I do hone in on details obsessively.I have the 6. Jelly scroll doesn’t bother me. The only way I’d buy a 7 is if it had promotion and at least miniLED if not OLED.
Yes - I know reality means the cost wouldn't be lower!If you made this iPad dependent on phone, you'd still be paying the "super-expensive" to Apple... only for 2 pieces instead of one... and then one would be towards useless without the other.
IMO: better to let iPad Mini Next continue to be it's own thing (no phone required).
For your scenario, how about putting the Apple iPhone app on the Mini Cellular so it can double as a super-sized phone (buds with mic instead of holding it up to owner's ear)? I already do exactly this with third-party VOIP apps, effectively making iPad Mini stand in for iPhone and it all works just fine for my purposes. iPhone's VOIP app would bring all of the iPhone-like integration vs. using third party. Of course, Mini's much cheaper pricing would disrupt super-size profit for anyone who chooses it INSTEAD of iPhone (like I have for many years now), but since we're both dreaming...
Yes - I know reality means the cost wouldn't be lower!
But I would be happy not to have to have two data plans, install apps, etc., on both. Logically a true dumb screen - but obviously needing whatever is required to implement that. Several generations of iPhone have been plenty powerful enough to achieve that.
I really don't expect many others to agree with me. But I am just about to go out. Will take phone and use as needed. When sat down having a cuppa, would like to get an iPad mini out and switch to that screen.
Smaller bezels would be nice. So I guess what I am saying is the overall size is right on the current Mini, they just need to reduce the bezels.Do you reckon we need smaller bezels or is that also too much screen? I’m happy with the size of my mini but not the display, that’s for sure.
They would rather put A15, A15X, A16, A16X to squeeze as many update cycles as they canWhat are the chances they’ll put the M1 in this?
Right? Long live mini-5!Yes, please! Had the mini 1, 2, 3, 5 and currently holding out for the 7.
Jellicious!Now with jelly scrolling in five new delicious flavors!
