I've just purchased my 3rd iPad.
The first was the 1st generation iPad (32 GB).
A few years later, my wife bought me a 64 GB 1st generation iPad Mini. I was still using that, up until today. I got 10 years of use out of that Mini!
Today, I bought a 9th generation iPad with 64 GB of storage space. It will replace the iPad Mini.
I'd use the iPad Mini but it hasn't been supported in quite a while (the last updates were at iOS 9.x). I can only use it as a music player or a reader/browser. I won't get much by selling it. I suppose I can use it in the garage when I'm working on my car or motorcycle (as a music player or display for online service manuals).
With the new iPad, I'll be able to use the Apple Pencil. I plan to use the tablet as a drawing device as well as a reader. I can also use it to edit video footage.
I've quite a few options in the usage of the new iPad, since it can be used as a webcam or additional display (when using my Mac Mini M1, for example).
What I do NOT like so far about the tablet is that there's built in swipe texting but it can only be accessed on the tablet by pinching the virtual keyboard. I've installed Microsoft Swype but hate it because you have to give it full control in order for it to work.
I'll (try to) document my usage of the new iPad.
