iPad iPad 10.2 or iPad mini 5?

Good choice, since the mini will be complementary to the pro. I couldn't live with the mini as my home ipad. But while travelling nothing beats it. At home it tends to collect dust as it feels too cramped compared to the 9.7 and 10.5, but on the go I don't care and instead I do appreciate the compact size and weight. It's like having a bigger laptop for home and a small one for on the go. Also I like small smartphones (mine is "just" 5.8 inches) so I hardly ever watch videos or browse the internet on my phone...
True
My device balance should be about right
6.5 pro max
7.9 iPad mini
Next pro at 11 inch
MacBook Air 13.3
Will be the best of all worlds I would say
That’s a nice balance of screen sizes. The mini 5 is a really nice device. I love mine.
Yeah I think I will keep it a while and not be a stop gap...
On the go I think it will be perfect
Excellent choice! I take my mini 5 with me everywhere, it’s form function is perfect. And I agree, it’s nice being able to switch to my Air 3 when I’m at home, I never feel like it’s a waste, they all have their purpose. Great buy in my opinion.

Small but so portable...going to be good for media on the go for sure

i have the Mini 5 to accompany my 2018 iPP 12.9”. Love having both of these devices! My only wish is that they pushed the screen on the Mini while keeping the same form factor to match the new Pros. I was waiting to see if Apple would release a Mini 6 like that but they didn’t. Don’t regret the Mini 5 at all. Enjoy!
Looks identical to the one I’m typing on now! Very nice.All set up after Finally arriving

For sure!
I flew half way around the world in the summer for an event. Unfortunately not on company expense... had a choice of flying direct at considerable expense or an awkward 4 hour layover in the middle of the night. Anyway, went for the latter, put some of the difference towards buying a mini 5 and haven't regretted it since.
It is weird, I bought the mini 5 to hold me over tip the new 11 inch pro is released but I feel I will still use it when I get the new pro. So useful at different stages when travelling or just using on sofa
