Quick question for you guys -- I noticed that Best Buy is running a sale on the iPad Mini 4 ($300 instead of the normal $400 for the wifi-only with 128 GB storage). I've been thinking of getting one to make my flights more enjoyable with the larger screen (over my phone), but I know that the mini 4 is a bit dated in terms of the processor. Despite the fact that it's the perfect size and completely capable at the moment, I am wondering whether you would still purchase one new at this point? I.e., for those of you that use one, would you still purchase one today at $300, or would you opt for a more recent (albeit larger) model?
Also, I know that there are limitations with the wifi-only models, and that a cellular model is preferred. My thought was to use the iPad for stationary home point flights, and revert to my iPhone X when I need the dynamic home point.
Thanks for all your help and advice!
