I bought my ipad mini 4 when ios 10 was released. My first generation ipad
was not able to be updated. I got a 64gb for the same price as the 32gb.

Well, I got my iPad Mini 4 last April, and the price for the 128GB model was
slightly better than for the 64GB one, so I went for that. I didn't want to
carry around one of those big slabs, and while the reviews I read certainly
did indicate that there was a slight difference in speed between the Mini 4
and the Air, for me, it didn't sound worth the inconvenience of the bigger
unit.
Now, in 2017, if I were hearing that a new iPad might be in the offing, I
might consider waiting to see what develops. But that wasn't the case when I
got mine last April.

Hi,
That depends on your definition of cope; mine's most likely different
to yours so listing examples would be rather pointless.
The CPU is the same one that is in the iPhone 6, so the question you
have to ask yourself is if you'd buy a 6 in 2017 when there are 2
newer options available.
The cheaper price arguement doesn't work either: in the UK at least if
you buy a mini from Apple you'll be paying £400. I recently purchased
a brand new iPad air 2 for £330. Admitidly the bump in spec isn't
huge, but a: that represents nearly a 20% decreace in price and b: one
hopes that Apple will support it for slightly longer with iOS updates.
To me at least, in 2017, the only reason I can see for someone to buy
a mini is the smaller screen. To be fair this does make some
difference to me - I was using a handfull of mini's to deliver a
workshop the other day & they're much nicer to hold than the airs, but
that definitely doesn't mean it makes sense to spend more money on a
less capable device.
Cheers,
Ben.

Hi Evan,
I agree with you.
I have a desktop computer that is at least three to four years old, while
my
daughter uses my laptop that is only a year old and much, much faster.
Either way, it's still a great computer to use and so I use it on a daily
basis.
I happen to know that there are people I know that are still using a
computer with Windows XP on it. They don't use Internet Explorer, and
just
use Firefox, and they can't even get iTunes installed on it because the
latest version won't support it.
Regardless of that, one does find that apps tend to get more and more
sophisticated and processor intense, and so end getting slower and slower.
The device ends up taking longer and longer to load apps, and the simplest
functions end up getting more difficult and time consuming.
I agree with your mindset, as long as it will run it, why the heck not and
keep using a tried and true device.
I'm still using a 4S and have no intention of upgrading to the 7, least of
all it's lack of a headphone jack. Smiles.

Okay, okay, that might be true theoretically, but the real question is,
what
apps do people want or need to use that a given device can't run because
it
is too slow or for some other reason is outdated. That is the only
practical
question. If there are significant numbers of apps, or even a few, that a
lot of people want or need that they can't run on their device, then the
device is for all practical purposes obsolete. But if there are none, or
at
least none that people really want or need that it can't run, then what
practical difference does it make how old it is?

Actually, the rule of thumb is that computer technology becomes outdated
within six months of it's beta release, in other words, when it's released
to the public.
For a chip, I don't think just under two years is ancient, but it is
rather
old, Especially when you compare it to today's chips.

Well, the chip in the iPad Mini 4 is (I think) just a shade over two years
old. Is that really that ancient? Do you have any examples of apps that
you
think are useful that the iPad Mini 4 can't cope with?

Hi,
Is there no way you could cope with a full size iPad? The Minis use
really old technology by todays standards.
Cheers,
Ben.

There are rumors of new iPads being released this year, so you may want
to
wait a while and see if they prove true.
