    Yes, this is the dream, but personally, I’ve been thinking more and more if I actually need it since it’s just used to consume content now due to the convenient size.

    Hopefully jelly scrolling is out.

      Other iPads are too large to comfortable use for most of what I want to do - and iPhone is a little small. The mini is just my preferred form factor and perfect for a tablet imo. If I wanted bigger, I’d use my MacBook Air

      A lot of it centers around using two handed touch controls, or having it one handed to carry around.

      Some of my primary use cases for the device:

      • playing games (other iPads are too large to use touch controls comfortably)
      • watching videos/content
      • reading news/books
      • cooking recipes & recipe manager app
      • managing notes and reminders (I use heavily) - would be good for managing a shopping list too in the actual store
      • it can serve as an emergency backup for VMware horizon if my work laptop isn’t working or when traveling, iPhone is too small and I don’t need a full size backup
      • takings notes/sketches
