iPad Prices:
The 9.7-inch iPad is the cheaper one which you can buy, it will cost you $320. However the iPad mini 4 costs you $399, so the mini iPad is comparatively expensive than the other one. So, if you want to purchase an iPad that is powerful and big, you can always grab the iPad Pro.
Future of iPad Mini:
We have clearly seen that the entry-level iPad and the iPhone 7 Plus have been more popular as compared to the iPad mini. So, it seems like the iPad mini can be discontinued by the Apple at some point.
Debut of the iPad Mini:
In 2012, when the iPad mini made its debut, it was definitely the hottest thing. But before that, we saw that a full-sized iPad came like a heavy monster in the market.
People were always interested in buying something lighter, which can be easily carried. In that case the iPad mini was something perfect to fulfill their needs. They could use it to browse the web, read the emails and do more related stuff.
Downfall of iPad Mini:
Since the iPad became lighter and the phones got bigger, the people’s interest started to grow in the large iPads instead of the mini ones. So it seems like the mini iPads are no more useful, and the normal larger iPads are becoming more popular making the mini ones to fade away gradually.
The Apple, it seems like they are trying to make iPad Pro more powerful. Because we have seen that the iPads are going to get some new and big updates, but the mini ones won’t be entertained with any of them.
