$699 to start, $999 if you want the dual 16-core Neural Engine that's only available in the 512GB version. My last ipad mini was the 4. I switched to a Galaxy Tab S8+ because that form factor of the mini was too small for my failing eyes, but the S8+ is more luggable than portable. I have an OG Pixel Fold, which is certainly a bigger screen than my last phone, but is even smaller than the ipad mini 4 screen. Once my Fold bites the dust, I'm going back to an a-line Pixel phone with an ipad mini tethered to it. Hopefully it's in a few years when some of these OLED minis are available as refurbs.
