The latest new "iPad mini" is definitely a masterpiece

iPad mini.The color is purple

　We will deliver a review of "iPad mini" to be released on September 24.

　PC and tablets have expanded more needs than smartphones in Corona.In addition to the increase in time at home, digitization and work style digitization may be progressing at the same time.

　I checked the real machine again what the renewal means.

The value of "mini" has increased because the iPad emphasized pen.

　Why is mini popular in Japan?It is said that "because the size was suitable for Asians who were small," "Because there are many trains, etc.", but that is true.On the other hand, looking at Apple's announcement, they seemed to think that the size of the mini was also needed.

　Because it is clear that the "pen" function is an important axis for the iPad, and that the size of the current 10, 11, and 13 can not meet the needs.The work of leaving pictures and notes is often the case in the scene you want to carry and use.In that case, I want something lighter and I want something that can be brought anywhere with one hand.

I brought out the separately sold "Smart Folio" (English lavender) and Apple Pencil as a set.It becomes a very "notepad" chic image

　Rival Samsung satisfied the needs by increasing the size of smartphones and compatible with pen.Apple, who is swept the tablet market, thought to meet this need by "lowering the size of the tablet".

The size of the Apple Pencil and the size of the mini body are very good

　Regardless of the fact that the iPhone does not support the pen, if you carry an iPad mini with the second generation Apple Pencil, it will still be "nicely".This is because the size of the Apple Pencil and the size of the main unit are perfect as they are.

With the 9th generation iPad (right) released at the same time.After all the size is quite different

　The strengthening of iPados is also great.The iPados 15 has enhanced quick memo functions, but this is also suitable for the iPad of the "2nd generation Apple Pencil" generation, which is always easy to carry as a set.As mentioned above, the size of the iPad mini is very suitable, so it is suitable for the use of it quickly and wrote down quickly.

The enhancement of the memo and handwritten recognition function "Scribble" in iPados 15 is a very effective evolution for using a pen in Japan.

　Especially in the case of Japan, the handwritten character input "scribble" is also large for iPados 15 to "handwritten input in Japanese".The recognition accuracy is not 100 %, but it is charming.Regardless of whether it is a web search column, the SNS writing field, or in the memo, I think it is still convenient to write it by hand.

　If you think about putting it in your bag, it's a bit uneasy that Apple Pencil is a magnet type, but in that case it would be interesting to look for a cover that could store the pen together.

　Such "more stationery" usage is suitable for this iPad mini.
