The mini is the absolute sweet spot for me - enough portability that I don’t mind the many restrictions of iPad OS. But the A-line chips and low-quality screen are problems, and not being able to properly dock it at a monitor is a real hinderance. None of those are addressed here, unfortunately.

Would it be a sweeter spot without those restrictions?

I hate that I can’t code on my iPad Pro.

Yeah I mean sure, but they are all extremely limited emulators.
