I have an ipad for myself which is on the last leg. The home button is tempermental. Screen is cracked and color is distorted. It is 3 years old.
So I am sort of in the market for a new one. I love the look of the iPad mini, but not the cost. DH has an iPad mini, Reese has a newer ipad so whatever I get wouldn't be dependent on kids apps. I would primarily use it for streaming, internet, email, etc. I do have an iPhone 6.
Any recommendations?
I'd stick to an iProduct for the compatibility between all your devices, personally. Unfortunately, you missed a lot of great sales in December, but there's always more. I'd just keep checking ads for Best Buy, Target, Meijer, Walmart, etc until an iPad/mini sale comes up.
How comfortable do you feel buying a used iPad? My (Apple loving) brother bought my Dad the second newest iPad mini for Christmas, since it was still retina, just didn't have the fingertip sensor. Maybe look into a lightly used one to save a buck?
Re: iPad or other tablet (for me)
I would be lost without my iTunes on all of my devices being able to sync
