I fully understand your excitement. But I'm surprised you've held back to upgrade to the iPad mini 6 already three years ago when it was released and have enjoyed the benefits of USB-C when using card readers or SSDs since. It basically has the same features as the 7 though with slower CPU/GPU and and a bit slower USB-C transfer speeds.
That's what I've did and I hesitate to upgrade now again for the little improvements I'd get with the Mini 7 over my 6.
So this mini pad is only good for Apple products?

I’m really looking forward to getting one. Might even look for an Apple Store when I get to Cali for the workshop!
