iPad mini 7 – 6 Months Later… I Didn’t Expect This

I thought the iPad mini 7 was going to be my perfect everyday iPad—compact, portable, and powerful enough to replace my other devices. For the first few weeks, I was using it constantly, whether for reading, quick note-taking, or just browsing the web. It felt like the ideal middle ground between my iPhone and MacBook, giving me a lightweight device that could handle everything I needed on the go.

But after six months of real-world use, I’ve found myself reaching for other devices more often than expected. Whether it's the lack of ProMotion, the awkward aspect ratio for video content, or the missing first-party keyboard options, there are some key reasons why the iPad Mini 7 may not be the perfect device for everyone. In this long-term review, I’ll break down what I loved, the frustrations I didn’t expect, and whether it’s still worth buying in 2024. If you’re considering the iPad mini or wondering how it holds up over time, this deep dive will help you decide if it’s the right iPad for you.
