Why you should buy the Apple iPad mini

I’ve used many of the best iPads over the years, and the Apple iPad mini is my favorite. That’s because it bridges the gap between phone and laptop perfectly. iPads like the iPad Pro are great, but they’re big and I feel like I might as well grab my laptop instead. Alternatively, when I need something a little bigger than my phone, the Apple iPad mini is perfect.

The Apple iPad mini has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display which looks delightful. It embraces technologies like True Tone, P3 wide color, and also has ultralow reflectivity so it’s perfect for using in pretty much any lighting environment. It uses the A15 Bionic chip, which is fast and just right for all your tablet using needs.

Besides being great for all your productivity needs, the Apple iPad mini is also good for taking video calls. That’s thanks to its 12MP ultra wide front camera, which supports Center Stage so you’re always the center of attention on the call when you speak. There’s also a 12MP wide back camera for taking photos, which is a convenient touch — even if I don’t find myself needing it too often.

The key joy from the Apple iPad mini is its simplicity. It’s the perfect size to hold in your hand so it’s great for relaxing with when you just want to browse online or watch some videos. It’s the ultimate cozy tablet while still being powerful enough to get stuff done, and easily one of the best tablets around.

Usually priced at $499, the Apple iPad mini is currently down to $380 at Amazon right now. One of the best iPads for general use, the $119 discount makes this the ideal time to buy. Check it out now by hitting the link below.

Apple’s first HomeView hasn't reached customers yet, but the company is reportedly working on a more ambitious version. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is developing a higher-end model with a roughly 9-inch display mounted on a robotic arm that can rotate a full 360 degrees.

The current $299 HomeView is still on preorder, with deliveries beginning November 13. It uses a fixed 7-inch display on a speaker base, and Apple also sells a wall-mounted version.

Hot on the heels of the Welcome Home event, Apple is preparing to launch another batch of new hardware, and we may now have a better idea of when some of it will actually reach stores. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is planning a retail store “reset” overnight from November 5 into November 6, potentially pointing to a Friday release for at least some of its upcoming Macs.

Earlier reports pointed to an October 27 launch with several Mac updates and a new iPad mini. The lineup could include redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreens, alongside a separate 14-inch MacBook Pro that keeps the current design but moves to the M6 chip. An updated M6 iMac is also reportedly in the works.
