There’s just something inherently more useful about a smaller tablet. Sure, the best tablets have gotten a lot larger in recent years but what I’ve found is that with a bigger tablet, I’m less likely to bring it with me or reach for it when I want a screen slightly bigger than my smartphone.
Even though I prefer Android over iOS, I got a chance to try out one of the best iPads a few months ago and given my propensity towards smaller tablets, of course it was the iPad mini 7. While the switch from Android to iPadOS certainly took some getting used to, I really enjoyed my time with Apple’s smaller iPad. However, as I’ve done for years now, I still longed for something closer to Google’s own iconic Nexus 7.
