Lately I'm enjoying reading from my IPad2 mini.
After the 2, they made a mini 3 and 4 after, but since my mini 2 will be for reading books, and seeing live music (aka, low power programs), I went with the 2.

The 3 was discontinued, and the 4 seems almost identical to the 2, save for faster CPU, faster and more ram, and more SSD space.

All of that I don't need to read books.

The mini 2 actually lasts longer on battery, and cost me $150 (for the 16GB version, which is more than enough for several games, and a hundred books); vs the mini 4, which supposed to have 10% less battery life, and would cost me 5x more expensive.

I think I did a good purchase.
Just noticed too late it was the 16GB vs the 32GB I wanted, but apple apps consume a lot less memory than android apps.

I also have LTE 4G on it. But all of those feats are turned off.
The LTE should help with google maps, as it can give a slightly more accurate position than the wifi only tablet (mini has no GPS).
But I don't really need it.

With it all turned off, and screen brightness to the minimum, and set for night reading (screen turns more warm or reddish), the tablet lasts well over 15 hours (about 5-8% per hour of battery drain)!

Very satisfied with it!
