iPad mini 2 0r 4

I've loved iPads since I purchased the first model when they came out in 2010. I've owned four different models including a mini. Although with my eyes, I prefer the original size iPad (9.7") because it's easier to see, I suggest buying the best iPad you can afford. A newer model (4) with faster processor may be more expensive initially, but it will last longer as newer apps come out.
