Review on 📱 Renewed Apple iPad Mini 7.9 inches (Early 2019) - 256GB, WiFi Only, Space Gray by Dwayne Pore

First off, let me say that I'm NOT a fan of Apple computers, phones or tablets. I'm actually a Samsung trademark attorney and a Google trademark attorney. However, I am very aware of the fact that I am trading device stability for improved device customization and system control. Well, this statement pretty much sums up why I decided to buy an Apple product in the first place. I have a two seater, single engine airplane that was built in 1978 and is intended for basic training of student pilots. The navigation avionics installed in the panel are not original and work as intended, but are definitely a holdover from what was available 2-3 generations ago. The plane was purchased for a specific purpose: to fly about 300 miles from Maryland to my elderly father in Massachusetts, about twice a month, to help him. This route passes directly through Philadelphia International Airport, soon followed by Newark International Airport, putting me in the middle of two of the country's busiest areas. The outdated navigational equipment I would use to fly through this incredibly difficult airspace requires an increased level of concentration due to the greatly increased risks I must face. How I managed to mitigate these risks is where the iPad comes in and why it has to be an iPad. can stop. Suffice it to say there is a company called ForeFlight that has built such a robust app with features that give me exactly the data and information I need when provided, my situational awareness of everything in every moment time going on around my plane beyond anything I could have expected. The reason ForeFlight doesn't release an Android version is because they understand that this app and the tablet it runs on are just too important to accept even the slightest increase in the chances of an app crashing, which is why they only offer an iOS version. . . Saying ForeFlight is a "heavy" app is like saying Jeff Bezos makes good money. Both claims are the understatement of the century. The app uses a huge amount of power from the moment I charge the flight before takeoff, the entire 3 hours of the flight and finally rests after I taxi to the ramp and close. I've reduced to about 10% on one flight, but that's acceptable, not the norm. I usually have about 15-20% left, and considering I set my screen brightness to max from the start, that's better than any other battery-powered device I've ever used. Despite running this incredibly CPU-heavy app, I didn't experience any crashes, screen shakes, or any of the other issues I'd expect from an Android tablet. If like me you are interested in this iPad to run ForeFlight, don't hesitate, it works!
