[iPAD MINI 2021 REVIEW]
Something strange happens to us when we confront a gadget that’s been … condensed. Witness the recurring phenomenon of the mini phone; the mini Cooper; the “mini Winnie.” (Winnebago Man fans here? Anyone?) Point is, things that seem smaller than they “should be” tickle the same parts of our brains that help us believe that pile of circuits is actually our new robot friend (RIP Jibo); and also the aspirational parts of our brains that generations of advertisers long ago learned to leverage.
“Just think of all the things I could do with a tablet this tiny," I thought upon first unboxing the new iPad mini. "That journal I’ve been putting off; the Moleskin replacement that’ll finally get my studies on track; that nascent cooking interest that was just waiting for the right digital cookbook. My new life could be just on the other side of a five-hundred-dollar hit to my charge card.”
Sadly, the new iPad mini will not do these things for you. As my friend David Imel said of a different gadget, “things don’t really make you happy.” BUT. If you have any of those impulses already within you; if you have no space in your pocket for a supersized smartphone (and no space in your life for a full-sized tablet) … well I’ll put it to ya this way: there’s only one reason I wouldn’t buy the new iPad mini, and it probably won’t apply to you.

[INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 8: MRMOBILE’S GALAXY Z FLIP 5G & MOTOROLA RAZR 5G LONG-TERM REVIEW]
When I first put on the MrMobile vest in 2016, I could never have predicted that by the end of the decade, the flip-top future tech I coveted as a kid would warp from novelty into fully-usable smartphones.
Since I bought the first Samsung Galaxy Fold in January 2020, I have exclusively carried foldables as my personal phones. Today my daily carry includes a Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 for weekdays, stepping down to the smaller Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr 5G on weekends. And over time I’ve noticed a funny thing: while I can get more work done on phones like the Fold 2, I find the flips so convenient, so … fun ... that even during the week I sometimes slip one of these into my side pocket instead of the Fold.
So as we approach a second summer of Folds and Flips, I want to share my experience from the past year of actually using flip phones in our modern era: from nostalgic whimsy to screen-splitting heartbreak. I’m Michael Fisher and this is your Galaxy Z Flip 5G and Motorola Razr 5G long-term review.
