iPad Mini to iPad Pro M4 Upgrade, Will I Regret Losing the Mini Size?
Currently using an iPad mini the latest one, and honestly I was perfectly happy with it… until I saw the iPad Pro in person today 😭
That thing is ridiculously slim, premium, and the 120Hz display felt sooo smooth that now I’m seriously tempted.
I’m thinking of selling my iPad mini to CeX and upgrading to the iPad Pro M4. The difference for me would be around £350.
But I’m confused about whether I’ll regret losing the mini size. I mainly use my iPad for casual browsing, reading, YouTube, social media, and lying in bed with it.
What I love about the mini:
• Super light and easy to hold one-handed
• Comfortable for long reading sessions
• Easy to carry everywhere
• Feels “grab and go”
What tempted me about the Pro:
• That insanely smooth 120Hz display
• Slim and premium design
• Bigger immersive screen
• Feels very futuristic and “luxury”
My concern is:
Will the iPad Pro become uncomfortable/heavy for casual use? Especially while reading in bed or holding it for long periods? Will I miss the portability of the mini after the honeymoon phase ends?
Would genuinely love advice from people who moved from a mini to a Pro, especially if you later regretted it… or loved it.
