Hello everyone, This is Chenelle, I just purchased the iPad mini for 64 gig and I wanted to know what people thoughts were with using it with a braille edge 40 display? Thank you so much and have a great day. I also thought about getting the iPad Pro 128 gig but due to finances I went with a mini. I didn't know if anyone has used this particular display with the iPad for many? Sent from my iPhone
