What size smartphone do you have? If you already an iPhone Plus or similar, then go 9.7.
The iPad mini has a screen more than twice the size of the iPhone plus. I have an iPhone plus and no way does it replace a mini.

And iPad apps make much better use of the screen real-estate and landscape mode than the plus phones. It's my biggest complaint about the plus phones.. not an iPad mini-mini.
Depends on usage. iPad mini is better for web browsing, documents, etc. If you're using it to watch widescreen videos, effective real estate after letterboxing is around the same as the iPhone Plus display.The iPad mini has a screen more than twice the size of the iPhone plus.

I think invites this week, event next week. Something is going to happen I promise
As the owner of a Plus iPhone, an iPad Mini 4 and an Air 2 I cannot see the logic of this statement.
Using the 5.5" iPhone is a different experience to the Mini 4 and it's not a comparable replacement. There is also a significant difference in using and carrying a 9.7" iPad when compared to the Mini.
Each has its own niche...
Browsing, streaming, and reading work fine for me - on my iPad mini 2.I had the original mini and mini 2, but sold them both. For the last year I was ipad-free. Right now, I'm considering buying another one. I would have liked to get 9.7 pro primarily for True Tone display, but it's just too expensive for me. I'm in between mini 4 and 2017 ipad. For portability and display I'm considering the mini 4, but I'm at two minds about the processing power. How does it work on 10.3.1? By the way my main uses will be browsing, streaming and reading comics. I don't play games too much. So I guess my question is will it be enough? Would anyone recommend it?
I just got an iPhone 7 Plus last Friday, and while I am thoroughly enjoying my new iPhone, I absolutely love my iPad mini 4, which I am using right now to read this post. If you can find a good price for one, I would say go for it.
i use the iPad mini4 for pretty much your uses: browsing, news reading, streaming, email, no gaming. primarily i use it when traveling where its size and weight matter. the earlier minis got sluggish as the iOS updated into 8 so i dumped the earlier mini. no complaints on 10.3.1with the mini 4.
i find the larger iPads cumbersome to hold for any length of time, so far me the mini 4 works great. in the end its all personal preference. many will argue exactly the opposite, try both at an apple store and decide.
If anything there will be a refreshed "iPad Mini" with a A9 and the body of a Mini 2, it will be a mini version of the budget iPad, as sales of Mini decline I don't expect Apple to give it any special treatment with a "Pro" model
Mini users would at most get a Mini with a A9 and a Truetone display, Apple isn't going to go nuts with the lowest selling iPad modelNot yet ...![]()

No at this point it needs a A10 but we know that won't happen. Apple needs to just refresh the iPad Pro and Mini to have a fresh lineup.Its still viable in my opinion but the biggest shortcoming is the A8. Even though it has 2gb of ram, its still a chip from an iPhone 6, which is a beefed up A7 essentially. They should really put an A9 in it at this point.
