I love my iPad mini 6, I take it with me whenever I travel (to use as my primary computing device)

I was able to get my iPad mini 6 for $399.99 back in May of 2022:

https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/01/deals-ipad-mini-6-399-99/

The record/all time low for this iPad mini 6 been around ~ $399 for a while (coupled with the fact that this iPad hasn’t been refreshed since it was released on September 24, 2021)

It’s nice that Amazon finally has released a new record low price (of $379.99) but considering the iPad mini 6 was last refreshed in 2021, it might be best to wait to see if Apple comes out with a new model either this year (or early next year)

Want a bigger-screen "iPhone" than MAX at about half the price or less... with 5G service as low as about $25/year (yes, that's YEAR)? Able to save your big data hog options (like watching streaming video) for when you are in a free wifi zone? Able to tolerate NOT fitting your "phone" in a pants pocket?

Want your next phone to be "latest & greatest" for MANY more years than any iPhone... and thus not showing the "long in tooth" effect typical of iPhones because the iPad Mini model rolled out years ago is still the latest model that Apple wants to sell now?

Tadah!

I've been using Cellular iPad Mini to double as a phone since the 2, upgrading to a new hardware model after 8 YEARS... and expecting to upgrade my 6 to about 9 or 10 in about 5 more years. Buds to cover the ear & mic part of things, VOIP app makes it "just work."

Doubt it? Download a free VOIP app to your existing iPad, even if wifi only. They usually provide a free number. Call yourself or a friend on your iPad. Call yourself from your phone to your iPad number. Text yourself both ways too. It works, using the very same 5G used by phones... except data-only 5G is generally much cheaper than voice-text-data plans. When in wifi zones, use wifi.

Is this for everyone? No, nothing is for everyone. But this works fine for me and costs a LOT less than regularly feeling the press to replace iPhones (AKA "long in tooth") and paying much higher rates for data. Try some VOIP with your own iPad and see- that is, HEAR- for yourself.

I hope this means there will be an update. I can't use a Mini but my wife won't use anything else.

Gotta make room for chips that can support Apple Intelligence, would not buy as I feel future software updates for all mobile devices will be centered around it. This iPad will loose software support fast.

Echoing other posts, I sure hope a new model is coming. I'm mainly interested in maybe M2 coming to the mini, and some other colors. I can't name any other changes I'd like (at least that Apple would do, unlike adding full phone capability). I think it's funny for MR to post the sale while recommending against the product.
