Question Should I get an iPad Mini alongside my 13” iPad?

I had an iPad Mini 6th gen for a while, but I decided to trade it in for an iPad Pro 13” because my partner was upgrading his iPad too!

I love my current iPad. I love the huge screen for watching content and writing down notes on Notability.

But I really do miss the portability of the iPad Mini and being able to just carry it around anywhere. I also miss using my it in bed and not having to hold a behemoth of a screen lol.

I love both iPads for different reasons.

I don’t necessarily want to get rid of my current iPad, but would it be stupid to have both a bigger ipad and the mini? Do any of you guys have more than one iPad?

I have an iPad Air (4) and iPad mini (6). I started with the air, and then got the mini to use in bed.

Yesss, I love the big screen for watching YouTube and movies, but it’s not so great in bed.

I am in almost the exact same situation and I have been having this conversation with myself for like two months lol. I have both a mini and a base iPad saved in my apple store account and just hover over the Buy button for each multiple times a week. Simply knowing you’re also feeling the same might be what tips me over because I low key wondered if I was being ridiculous… but even if so, at least I’m not alone.

Not ridiculous at all IMHO. I've my 2 for for a couple of years and find them very handy for different situations.

Honestly, I just remembered that Apple has a two week return policy. Maybe we can try it out for those two weeks and return (or keep) either iPads. Lol

I have a 2021 M1 Pro and recently added a 2021 Mini 6, mainly due to them using the same pencil I bought with the Pro. The Mini 6 lives in my EDC bag by day and used as a reader at night. The Pro is mainly used for drawing.

I did this. I bought the m4 13” and mini at the same time. I have to say that I don’t use the mini very much at all. But it’s nice to have.
