Id still wait , I think the 8 will be worth it albeit a bit pricey.

I really wish there was a budget iPad in this size. Something on par with the tech of the base model iPad, but smaller.

Seldomly have I awaited a new Apple
Product as much as I am awaiting the iPad Mini 8.

For me, the iPad is a consumption device and the mini has the best form factor, and it allows for occasional annotations. Perfect.

You bring the peanut butter and the Mini will bring the jelly (scroll).

Bring on the ProMotion OLED Mini please 🙏

I so wish too, but after reading the rumors of the new display supposedly still being OLED, but maybe 90Hz and likely only being a single layer panel... I went crawling back to the iPad Pro with tandem OLED display. That damned thing is just so freaking gorgeous... I wish I had never looked at it lol. On the bright side, I'm ok with a slight bit more bulk/heft for the far superior and marginally larger display.. And my wife has assumed command of the mini and she absolutely loves it haha so win-win. Been waiting too long for OLED and ProMotion in the mini... and you just know if they add it to the 8 they're gonna jack the price by at least $100 at launch at this rate.

Despite being deep into Apple environment (Mac, Macbook, Watch), when seeking out a small tablet, the iPad Mini was a complete non-starter. Awkward shape, locked in storage and - of course - price. Even at 'sale' price, easily over $200 more than a sub-10" tablet should be.
Ended up with a Lenovo M9. A practical footprint that slips easily into my shoulder bag or larger jacket pocket, micro-SD expandable storage, capable of running all of the 3rd Party apps I have on my iPhone (and more) - and on its sale price, had for $99.

I wish I could do that, but all the iPads are huge patio tiles to me now (vs the Mini).

The Mini is the ideal iPad form factor for me, particularly when I go into portrait mode for reading things one handed.

Do you use any other Android device?

I actually couldn't see it with the 7. The 6 had it AWFUL though.

Still, 120hz is a must.

I tried to keep the 7, so hard .... returned it in just 48 hours. 🙁

By day, I'm a creative pro. A couple of years ago, I was curious what it would be like to move from my trusted pen + Field Notes work flow to a Pencil 2 + iPad mini 6 workflow. I was pleasantly shocked at how instantly the latter fully replaced, enhanced and evolved my workflow. Light switch. iPad mini 6 form factor is it's secret sauce. It's so perfectly portable - which doesn't come at a ht to capability. From sketching and note-taking to more process-intensive scenarios, I can't recommend the Pencil 2 - iPad mini combo more.

For consumption? Absolutely. For creation? Completely.

Nope.
I mean, aside from the fact Google lurks absolutely everywhere with apps, etc. I try and limit the damage there, too.

Otherwise this little Lenovo serves me well as an eBook and news aggregator reader, media player (audio and video player - most stored on the added micro-SD and all played through dual speakers), internet browsing, email, some gaming, sketching, and yes, even some work. Most 3rd Party apps these days are cross-platform or cloud-based and sync between themselves, regardless of device you pick up at the time.
