Why I can’t simply use an iPad as a Mac Mini monitor
If it's an old iPad the issue is the terrible lightning port that isn't able to transfer nearly enough data to be used as a monitor. This is partly why most solutions for that involve a network.
I've done it before using Duet.
But it's not like that's the only "monitor." It's always been secondary (mainly because I've used it with an MBP).
I’ve tried that, but it’s just not plug and play. I’ll be looking for a small laptop type monitor
