This mini is only 2 years old and still runs plenty fast. I’m sure it will get iOS updates for several years to come. That said, I’m looking forward to selling it for an updated version hopefully coming this fall. The bezels make the device look really outdated, and Apple Pencil 2+ support would be awesome.

The Mini 5 is powerful enough, but that design. Ugh. Those huge bezels. 2010 called, they want their bezels back.

Please give us a truly 'budget' iPad Mini w/ some updated specs! (Maybe lose the thick bezel.)
