This looks like a great device, but I honestly can't think of a use-case for it besides convenient streaming. Maybe for art?

  All the same use cases as a regular iPad. I just want it so it's easier to hold.

  iPad minis are popular in marine & aviation. Compact size is good for small areas, where it can be mounted to cockpit.

    I have two minis that I use with my drone controller. They're a decent format for everything else also.

  I have one (previous generation), and it's great for video streaming, web surfing, mobile games, as remote control for TV and music streamers. The only use case where I'd want a bigger tablet is displaying sheet music.

    Sounds like my phone, honestly. Maybe I'm still biased by young eyes.

      I prefer a phone that fits comfortably in a pocket. If you have one of the huge phones, then there's of course not so much difference.

        Just a Pixel 4a. I have 20/10 eyesight and scale the UI down as small as it'll go.

    My wife got a sub-$100 tablet from her job that I do that on. Maybe I'm missing something, but the iPad has never been appealing as a practical device to me. Maybe if I could code on it. Nice size, I can use a mechanical keyboard with it.

      If you prefer digital notes, the iPad is by far the best way to take handwritten notes imo. I wish there were comparable Android experiences, but nothing really comes close. Some of those e-ink tablets look sorta neat though.
