    “I'm loving this iPad mini. This iPad mini has a OLED display. It's thinner than the previous one, it feels like.”

    “The thing that stopped me using the mini before was basically the LCD display. The OLED panel fixes that and it's still super versatile. So, the lack of 120 Hz is a bummer, but honestly for me, it's not going to stop me from using this device.”
