I have a second generation iPad mini (2015) that I absolutely love but it’s basically obsolete now because Apple has stopped supporting it, I’ve noticed the battery life has gotten terrible. i’m going to get the new one as soon as I can. One of the things I like the best about my iPad mini is that I got a keyboard case for it and typing on it was so easy and fun. I mean I have kind of small hands anyway so I didn’t feel crowded to me, it just felt natural.
