[2026] iPad Mini

[didymus]

Really damn bad?

Its not really that bad… depending on your usage..browsing web/watch video/reading doesnt matter…. If you going to do productivity works then maybe, but then should use ipad pro/macbook.. is this your only ipad? macbook neo/air also 60hz still so popular.. oled 60hz is actually better than lcd 60hz. My ip18pro somehow i feel the animation too “slow” because too fluid… wish Apple could give us 0.5x animation speed like Android.

the Acoustic Display speakers is surprisingly good also.

wad casing are u guys using with ur mini 8? apple or 3rd party? or nekkad?

if apple software-locked the refresh rate to a safe 60Hz to save battery juice, I hope future update will give user an option to choose between 60 and 120

120hz good choice, cfm selling hotcakes, especially students and some use for games

I have used my iPad mini 8 for two days, and the OLED display makes my iPhone 17 Pro seem quite small during use now.

Previously, with the iPad mini 6, perhaps because of the liquid retina screen, my eyes did not feel this way.

same feeling on my iphone 18 pro feel like a toy, lol

everyone need 120hz promotion for all apple products, just because complain no used here, can write to apple feedback, maybe the next ipad mini 9 comes with 120hz promotion

I never complain, I'm sharing my point of view and pros and cons

No problem, everyone have a different use cases. 60hz refresh rate doesn’t mean is bad.
Compare to iPhone 16 plus can see the screen delay , for iPad mini very smoothest when fingerprint to unlock screen.
That is why I use to it.
iPad mini 8 worth for money.

anything can do without 120hz promotion, hahah

This thread very poisonous. Make me ask chatgpt what I could possibly lose monetarily if I sell my mini 7 now and buy mini 8 assuming a mini 9 comes 2 years later. Actually, the lost not too chor.

Oh yeah. I just checked the Apple Store app and the 256G cellular with nano texture collection date is 30 Nov.
Last Sun when I was Orchard Apple Store I saw the mini 8 on display so thought should have ex stock.

Yeah that is the main issue to purchase on time.
Year end all new products have to wait long long, lucky I get from shopee delivery on same day

If 128G then today can collect. I think 256G and 512G cellular with nano all have to wait till 30Nov.

Shonen Jump

256 cellular good for long run.
nano texture is opitional, some prefer standard glass, because this is easy to clean, not need apple cloths or micro fiber cloth to clean nano coated.
