If youre still using an iPad in the cockpit, youre about to be so 15 minutes ago. Well, maybe. As we go to press this month, Apple has been pumping the new iPad mini into the market for about two weeks and after a couple of flight trials, we like what we see.

Although the mini features a lower-resolution display than the Retina iPad, it is considered functionally sufficient for aviation applications and offers a more cost-effective option.
For new tablet users prioritizing cockpit utility, the iPad mini is recommended, but users should consider the need for an anti-glare screen protector and acknowledge the iOS platform's superior aviation app ecosystem compared to Android.
