It really is.
The only improvement I want is proper stereo. Having the speaker only on one side sucks.
Got a tip for us?

I find it funny you make a post about ordering an iPad, but when someone asked what you ordered, that’s your response? Why make a post then if you don’t want people to ask
Hah; didn't mean to come off as snarky. I just don't see a huge difference between the iPads.
Fairly big difference between them and usually a reason why people choose certain models. By starting a post, most would assume you wanted to start a discussion

Assuming you have it now, enjoying it?
It’s great. With the case i got it’s a bit bulky. I got a genuine leather iPad case by case-made that I paid $55 for.
I could definitely see it being useful. It’s really a product for enhancing what you already do, not a great standalone toy. That being said, it could be quite useful for what I already do. Typing on it (doing that now) absolutely sucks. I also wish the app switcher showed big icons instead of tiles. That being said, I can see myself using it a lot. Like, wow apple has created something awesome here.
It’s definitely not as good as the first gen iPad. Setting it up, despite apples best efforts was a PITA. Also, I feel like iPad apps are a bit clumsy. When the iPad was new, the dedicated iPad apps were absolutely amazing, making full use of the device.
Apple’s news+ is what I’m really excited for.. overall I really like it, when I fixed the screen, I saw the engineering on the inside. Wow. Like, woooow. Apples hardware is so streamlined and well done, I just stared st it for a while. No stray cables. The machining on the aluminum is incredible. The aluminum is also out of some incredible allow.
I could go on, but it’s getting rambly.
For what you pay it’s a no brained.
Regarding the other iPads, I don’t see much difference between them. The small feature differences to me mean nothing, and I like the physical home button.
I much prefer typing on my Mini than I did on a 9.7”.
The upside of the 9.7” is the first gen Touch ID, which means that you could replace the screen without it stopping working. As far as I know the other models use Touch ID 2 and it’s a much more complex repair to have the Touch ID still work afterwards.

You sure you’re not confusing the haptic home button making it more difficult? Because the iPad Air and mini, though using Touch ID 2, are still using the physical home button as opposed to the haptic one like the iPhone 7 and 8
I thought that the Touch ID issues after a screen repair started in the iPhone 6s, which isn’t haptic.
