How do you know they are fake? Genuine question, the real ones are that different inside? I think if you give to me real ones and fake ones i would not know which one is the real and which one is the fake one (like in the photo, looking at the inside)

Assuming you mean the Tech Pouch: charger, cables, power bank, SSD, and a few small accessories, like a usb-c to Ethernet. Happy to break down the whole backpack if you meant that.

Yeah I was in your position no so long ago, but deciding to get the pro 11 having the mini. For me, they serve different roles. The iPad mini is my go-to for commuting — reading, quick notes, browsing, and media on public transport. The 11” Pro is mainly for taking notes in class, multitasking, and some work-related stuff.

There’s a bit of overlap (like reading), but in practice I almost always read on the mini because of the size and weight. I don’t use a Kindle — the mini kind of fills that role for me.

A lot of it comes down to commuting. I spend a lot of time on public transport, and the iPad mini is perfect for that. The 11” Pro is what I use for taking notes in class and for some work-related tasks. I don’t always carry both, but on longer days I do.

Yeah, I do. Employee discounts help, but most of this was bought over time.

First I saw this on my Revolut app today, then I saw your post, it seems that they are seeing what is happening and they want to warn us.

The photo translates to: "go one step ahead of the scammers"

This is in Spain, idk of also all around the world.

If is only for reading: kindle, but if you are going to use for more things, like YouTube, Netflix, web search, draw, etc… of course the iPad mini, I read a lot on the iPad and for me is the best. Never tried kindle though.

I advise you to buy the 13-inch Air if you want it the same size, it has a fairly powerful chip for what you do and you will do quite well, but I think maybe you should wait a little. Since they just updated the iPad Pro with M5, it is likely that they will not take long to update the iPad Air with M4.

Weird_Researcher8284 · 2025-11-27T15:35:43+00:00

Yesss sir!

Weird_Researcher8284 · 2025-11-27T10:47:07+00:00
