You can pay a little less and get the standard iPad, but it’s larger display with chunky bezel looks even more dated and isn’t so easy to simply pop into a pocket. I remember how fun it was playing the excellent Bastion on it.Īt $379, the iPad mini is also smartly priced, offering the still-powerful A12 Bionic chip, as well as a rather lovely Retina display. I’ve yet to try out Apple Arcade, but the size of the mini seems to lend itself well for indie games. Speaking of gaming, now being able to pair an Xbox Wireless Controller with the iPad mini and indulge in some more precise gaming, as well as some streaming from a nearby PC via a Steam streaming app, makes the iPad a neat compact gaming device I see it as a bit of a Nintendo Switch partner. And when work is over, the iPad mini makes for a great e-reader or a fantastic device for playing a few games FTL: Faster Than Light is simply fascinating on the mini. It fits into a decent-sized coat or jacket pocket and makes for a killer note-taking device - especially when my handwriting is so bad my written notes are illegible. I get why the larger iPads have a lot of appeal: why get something that’s only a little larger diagonally than most big Android phones? But for me the iPad mini is the perfect size.
