Glue doesn’t bother me anymore. It serves its purpose well and doesn’t affect everyday use.Sorry to hear about all that adhesive that they used.
I’ve never needed to disassemble any of my iPads. I don’t know anyone in real life who has.

It's Touch-ID 2.0.
Tons of reviewers and people with first hand experience have said so.
Some people just don't like FaceID. I myself am not particularly sold on it. I like my iPhone 7 Plus with TouchID, and will be holding onto it until I see how FaceID evolves and improves. TouchID works and functions just fine -- especially for iPads -- and IMO Apple shouldn't have done away with it so quickly.
Not sure why you are against FaceID so much. Is it because of price?
I’ve read the same, but still no definite answer. The first hand experience could also be the Mini appearing to unlock faster because the display updates faster with the much more powerful A12.
I just figured iFixIt would finally give the definitive answer.
One thing that annoys me on my phone is when I slip my phone out of my pocket to quickly check the time (or just to double check my phone isn’t on and unlocked in my pocket) and the thing unlocks! I then have to press the power button to re-lock it which - in time- will wear the button out.Not sure why you are against FaceID so much. Is it because of price?
I would say I do not like the idea of laser beams shooting onto my face or eyes, including keeping records of facial recognition for whatever purposes (as if they don't port it over to apple servers for storage like our passwords to our systems etc). This is a reason for not liking FaceID much..
Agreed. I don’t think people consider the true potential of FaceID.Why are you so opposed to Face ID? You could literally drop from the ceiling into a sea of droids and say "Hello there!" while looking at your phone and it'll unlock.
Or you could remove your hood while saying "Hello there" and it'll unlock. In fact, saying "Hello there" isn't even necessary!
I bought the Mini 5 the other day to just try it out (I figured I could return it if it didn't do anything for me since I already have a 2018 12.9" Pro) to use as a magazine/news paper reader.
It's a phenomenal device. I'm shocked how good it is, frankly.
I am completely delighted by my Mini5, and its fitting in perfectly with my 12.9 gen 2 as the 'alternate' pad
Doss anyone know if the Lightning port is USB3 or 2? Everymac rates the Mini 5 as USB3. Txs.
Um, "laser beams" don't shoot into your eyes, or anywhere else. Facetime is a camera. And they don't send your face data to Apple.

Lol it’s 2019 you should try it now.
Why couldn’t they make this Apple Pencil 2 capable?
Lol I did try it on an XR. Lol It’s 2019 and constantly holding your phone up to your face is lame. Lol just because Apple tells you a feature is an improvement doesn’t make it an improvement. Lol I’m back on an iPhone 7 because I prefer it. Lol I got sick of all the gesturing and I was happy to return to the physical home button. Lol standing in the checkout line holding a phone up to your face makes you look like a douche. Lol, man. Lol.
Considering how pencil 2 charges, that would have meant a redesigned mini 5, resulting in a more expensive product.Why couldn’t they make this Apple Pencil 2 capable?

Other than that it’s fine.

I got the new Mini on Friday. One thing I notice with the new WiFi model for AT&T it only handles the LTE network and doesn't receive the new 5E that the iPhone and iPad Pro can.
And if everyone standing on line looking at their phone is a "douche" then there are a lot of douches in the world. Not just Face ID users.
