The new iPad mini has become the smallest and strongest work tablet! [Today's life hack tool]
The all-new iPad mini is finally here!
The long-awaited full display, Type-C port, support for Apple Pencil (2nd generation), etc., make it a tablet that can fully demonstrate the power of iPad OS.
This time, after using it for about a week in advance, I found a way to use it that other iPad series do not have! I will introduce it immediately.
New "iPad mini" that can make full use of iPad OS
It's been about 7 years since I got the iPad mini. Until then, I've been using the iPad Air and iPad Pro.
I was surprised when I touched the full display "iPad mini 6".
"Maybe the strongest work device"
Because it had evolved to the point where it seemed like that.
The biggest evolution is that the housing size has not changed much from the past model, only the display has been increased in size to 8.3 inches of Liquid Retina.
As a result, work efficiency is exploding.
For example, I tried arranging a video application and a Slack application side by side in "Split View" that can display two applications side by side on one screen. I was worried that the display would be small and hard to see, but it's okay because the display is bigger.
Reply to emails and chats while attending Zoom meetings and online seminars. prepare documents. You can easily do this in this small enclosure.
Indeed, it is the smallest device that can be multitasked.
Moreover, there are two models, a Wi-Fi model and a Wi-Fi + Cellular model, and the latter is compatible with 5G. If necessary, you can work while connecting the mouse and keyboard via Bluetooth. Even though it's so small, there are many things you can do!
I also tried using the "Sidecar" feature, which allows you to use your iPad as a second display for your Mac.
Of course, it's smaller than the iPad Air and iPad Pro, but it's better to have it than not. Mac users should consider the high affinity as well.
The smallest and strongest work device
The iPad mini is the smallest size in the iPad series, but this is its greatest strength. When you go out or go shopping, you can keep it in your body bag or sacoche.
This is not the case with the iPad Air and iPad Pro, which usually requires a backpack or handbag. When you say, "I'm not really going out that much ...", the iPad mini will definitely help you if you want to do some work on the go.
Even the smallest in the series cannot be underestimated.
In addition, it is small and lightweight (293g for Wi-Fi model), so you can use it while lying down.
If you think "iPhone isn't big enough, but iPad Air or iPad Pro is too big," the iPad mini should be the best solution.
Compatible with iPad Pencil (2nd generation).Stick together
The iPad Pencil (2nd generation) is finally available on the iPad mini!
With this, you can always carry it with you on your iPad mini, and above all, you can charge it as it is, which is convenient.
In fact, this was my first time using the Apple Pencil on the iPad mini.
First, you can hold the iPad mini with one hand. Impressed by this. The iPad Air and iPad Pro are big and difficult.
In addition, due to its small size, it can always be carried like an iPhone without stress. This is good!
Even if it is a good memo terminal, if you feel uncomfortable with carrying it, you will not have any children. Because it is small and easy to carry, I think that there are many turns that appear in the day.
If you want to draw an illustration, it may be better to have a large screen, but if you are using a notepad or an e-book reader, the iPad mini is the best size.
With full display, it finally became a sacred treasure
While using the iPad mini, the iPhone 12 Pro has gradually decreased the number of touches.
The iPhone is by far the best in terms of camera performance, but it's the iPad mini sect when it comes to relaxing at home or taking a break during work. I just wondered if there was a way to put the phone app on my iPad mini.
However, it is easy to handle in daily life, and above all, the screen is just the right size.
Now it is compatible with Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and will be useful in meetings and meetings!
Apparently, I can't let go of it as the smallest work device.
