I assume m1 and m2 iPads handle this way better?

Exactly. Tech YouTubers know NOTHING about tech, they just know clicks. They will avoid straying from a trend or groupthink as it means less views for them.

This channel SPECIFICALLY when m1 came out had a handful of videos saying 8=16gb.

Tech YouTubers are just a mass of trend following blowhards.

Is it like a movie black bars on top and bottom? Like is it set for 1080p 16:9 display?

I’m expecting a16 on the mini 7 as I’m more interested in the ram bump from 4 to 6. However if they do an m1 (which I doubt due to power consumption) that would be a no brainer buy for me.

I’m just wanting an iPad mini announced so I can see that Gurman and Kuo are just guessing in the wind.

I bought a refurb mini 6 for 440, from Target… but if a mini 7 is announced, I’m returning that sucker.

I was thinking more like the iPad attaches to an iPad like the echo they mention in the article.

No m3 iPad til next year I should say

I use Noise Cancelling headphones, but if I had more space I’d look into that.

There is no m3 until next year

If you allowed tvOS on a 12.9 when connected to a home pod now we are talking. My 12.9 is basically my tv at this point as I don’t have room for a massive set and the miniled screen is great for video.
