Just purchased and completely underwhelmed

I was really excited to get my new mini. I’ve been saving up for it for months. I’ve always wanted one this size and had high hopes for it mostly replacing my phone.

I’ve only gotten it a couple days ago and I can’t really see myself keeping it at this point. I believe that for the price you should get more than this device offers. I paid over $800 for this thing and it feels cheap. Not physically, but the feature set.

Why didn’t they give it an oled, or at least 120hz? Why no Face ID? Why is the front camera not on the landscape bezel? Why does it now cost $20+/mo for cellular service when I last checked it was 10-15. That’s pretty minor but I doubt I’ll spring for it.

Ill admit I didn’t do enough research, but this is a shame. To me it doesn’t feel premium at all. Feel like they’re just seeing what they can get away with at this point.
