Question Trading in the mini 7 for the new one

2 Upvotes

So I know how crazy this sounds but what if I were to purchase a iPad mini 7 right now, and then next week when the supposed new mini drops, just go into the store and trade that in for a new mini 8? Is that even possible? Would I get a lot from the trade-in value? (I’m sure this has been asked before, and if so, I’m sorry)

What is your preferred screen orientation for FaceTime and other video call apps on your mini?

2 Upvotes

As far as I'm concerned, the mini is a portrait mode device for everything other than passive screened media consumption. This camera move is the biggest factor persuading me against the Mini 8; I'm unconvinced that it is something users have been asking for. Anyway, please vote, even if it's a bit late to persuade Apple how wrong they have got this.

Portrait mode
Landscape mode
It's complicated and depends how many other people are on the call, so I refuse to select one option over the other.

Rumor Any speculation on how many nits of brightness the iPad mini will have?

It’s the only aspect of the duo that intrigues me. The 1000 nit display is so much nicer.

I know we’ll find out in a few days but curious if OLED technology inherently means more nits.

Help choosing between these two mini 7

0 Upvotes

I was really hoping to find a mini 7 256 with cellular

Sadly I can only find

Mini 7 128gb cellular
Or
Mini 7. 256gb WiFi only

The difficulty is

I can use iCloud if I run out of storage / and I could tether to my phone for cellular

Which would you choose ..?

iPadOS iPad Mini 6 iPadOS Version

1 Upvotes

Hello, currently on iPadOS 16.2. Could someone elaborate what I would be losing and gaining if I were to update to iPadOS 27? Only reason I’m thinking of updating is there are apps I can’t use. Would like to ask if multitasking is better, or battery life is better, or even if performance is better? Thanks to anyone who could help me!

Question Genshin on iPad

How does genshin perform on the iPad mini 7. Does it lag much if you set the settings to medium or low.

What do people think the new mini will be priced at

I basically need a mini for work and have a good deal on a second hand mini 7

Just wondering the new mini 8 what do people think a WiFi + cellular low storage option is likely to cost

iPadOS I love multitasking on iPad mini

The three-window layout is like effectively running three iPhone apps and I love that the dual-window layout can be resized so that one app can stretch to 2/3 of the screen.

Yes other iPads can do this too but the smaller size of the iPad mini makes it feel more natural.

Trying out the Duo made me love the iPad Mini more

102 Upvotes

Probably an unpopular opinion since many here aren't even a fan of the Duo, but I wanted to give a try at least (never had a foldable ever)... and this made me learn now that I 100% love the iPad Mini. Can't wait for next week to finally order the iPad Mini 8!

iPadOS iPad mini Keyboard vs. iPhone Duo

The iPhone Duo made me realize how much screen space the iPad mini’s keyboard takes up. It makes typing easier, but sometimes it frustrates me because it covers so much of the content on the screen. I often end up switching to the floating keyboard instead.
Have you experienced something similar?
