Marauder Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Have you had that much success with the pencil? I bought it for my iPad Pro and other than keeping it sharpened (charged), I haven’t used it much.

Bryan Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Agree. Pencil support is critical for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and foremost (and I have been with Apple since 1984), never buy the first run of an Apple product. So, we are talking Pencil 2 here, issues resolved.

Yes, I was "one of those people" who bought a Mini 3. The stylus works great on both. Cheers, Rick I like the smaller tip, I have one a little bigger that I use but I don’t mount my iPad but have it (normally) in my lap and I want to use it like a tablet or notebook with the side of my palm resting to write. I think with the pencil, they protect against the inadvertent palm touch and it seems much more natural. So, without pencil support it wind so me any good to buy a Mini5 when the Mini4 works fine with a small stylus like you pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Additional news: https://www.inverse.com/amp/article/53236-ipad-mini-5-upgrade-features-price. Possible Apple announcement March 25. Will use A10 Fusion chip (same as iPad 9.7). Probably not compatible with Apple Pencil 2, possibly compatible with first generation pencil.

Ned Gravel Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 All I really need is sufficient computing power to run Foreflight Pro (Canada and US) and telecom connectivity to file plans when completing my walkaround. Mini 4 does that now. Mini 2 is my backup, but I may transfer that to one of the iphones and stick that to the sun visor a la Piloto if it comes cheap enough. Will be prepared to invest in a Mini 5 if any part of my current solution/backup goes south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I was at the Apple Visitor Center yesterday and tried to pry out information on any new Mini ipads.

Marauder Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Is that a massive tv screen?!!! It’s actually a whole series of displays that work in unison and were seamless (i.e. the lines you see in the picture below are actually the seams in the windows across the visitor center and lighting brackets on the ceiling). What was really cool was that the Apple rep in the picture below was showing us photo taking features and this was someone in the audience he was shooting and having show up on the screen behind him.
