There's a good iPad Mini review by Federico Viticci, writing on MacStories.
He raises all the issues I've been wanting to talk about.
Speaking of the narrower (in Portrait orientation) screen, he says:
This has some interesting side effects on webpages and apps, and it makes using the new iPad mini a peculiar affair at first.
...and in Landscape mode:
...you get longer lines of text but fewer paragraphs of text displayed at the same time.
...and the kicker (emphasis mine)...
..I think some apps will have to be updated to properly take advantage of its new screen resolution.
Speaking of games:
...all the games I tried from Apple Arcade over the past week featured black bars (letterboxing) on the left and right sides of the display.
and (again, emphasis mine)...
...I hope game developers will update their games quickly to take advantage of the full 8.3” display on the iPad mini
Overall, the review is very positive, of course.
