computers, so you don’t have to worry about buying it just for your iPad mini. Get it here. 6. Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) One of Apple’s best decisions in 2021 was adding second-generation Apple Pencil support to the iPad mini. Both the iPad Air and iPad mini support the Apple Pencil two, which is great news for artists and people who love styluses. As you’d expect from Apple devices, the Apple Pencil works flawlessly with the iPad. The pairing process only takes and second, and you’ll be able to grab the Apple Pencil and start using it immediately. Plus, charging this Pencil is way easier than the first generation, so it’ll be a hassle-free experience. Get it here. 5. AirPods (3rd Generation) If you plan to use your iPad Air or iPad mini to binge-watch your favorite shows, you’ll probably want to get a pair of earbuds to improve your experience. And right now, there’s no better option than the new AirPods. Apple upgraded the regular AirPods in 2021 to make them look and feel more premium. Thanks to a complete redesign, and an improvement in its internal specs, you’ll get the same amazing sound quality and more battery life in a new, more elegant look. Plus, they’ll also work great with your iPhone, Mac, and other Bluetooth devices. Get them here. 4. Screen Protector Let’s face it: whether you’re using the iPad mini or the iPad Air, both devices are too expensive to scratch their screens. So it’s important to protect their screens from your fingers and even the Apple Pencil. Fortunately, there are a couple of options available. If you’re using an iPad mini, you can get the KCT Paperfeel Glass Screen Protector. As you can guess from the name, this screen protector will make your iPad mini feel like you’re writing or drawing on actual paper with your Apple Pencil. For the iPad Air, we also recommend the KCT Paperfeel Glass Screen Protector. It also helps you feel like you’re writing on drawing on paper with your Apple Pencil, and it also brings an extra layer of protection. It also has an anti-glare feature, and it prevents fingerprints. Get it here. 3.Magic Trackpad When it comes to using a mouse with your iPad Air or iPad mini, you have a couple of options. You can use a regular Bluetooth mouse or get a Magic Trackpad. The Magic Trackpad works like the trackpad on your MacBook or iPad Magic Keyboard, but better. You can use it to navigate your iPad with a few swipes, but you can also make gestures with or three fingers to open the app switcher or switch between apps. You’ll also have much more room to move around, so it’ll be easier to use. And, as you can expect, it works with other Apple products like your Mac or MacBook. Get it here. 2. Twelve South HoverBar Duo The HoverBar Duo is a great accessory if you want to use your iPad to make FaceTime calls, watch your favorite shows, or use your iPad as a second monitor when you’re working. Whether you’re using an iPad Air or an iPad mini, you can use the HoverBar to adjust your iPad to work comfortably. For example, you can use a clamp to hang your iPad or use the base to put it on a desk. You can adjust its arm in both forms to keep your iPad in the perfect position while you work or relax at home.

This makes it easier to use other accessories, like a USB_C Hub. This hub is compact enough to take it with you at all times, but it’s got enough ports to connect your USB drives, SD cards and even has a headphone jack. It comes with an HDMI port, a 3.5mm audio jack, USB 3.0 and USB-C ports, and an SD card reader. So whether you want to move files or show a presentation, you’ll be able to use this hub to keep yourself connected to many things at once.
