what i need is an ipad pro mini - no buy unless 120hz - no buy unless can plug in an external monitor without mirroring i'm literally still using samsung dex from 2019 lol.
Yeah. pratical one. Aslo IPhone 12/13 mini are the only true smartphone, other all are just phablets. I Wish samsung would make the s series base to be 5.7/5.8 inch.
@@niyazzmoithu20 i jumped from iphone 6s to 13 mini for personal use. tempted to switch to 16pro . after reading your comment, i might just stick with 13mini and get myself an ipad mini 7 instead . lol for work , i just got the S24 . that's the only small phone in Samsung ecosystem . sufficient and practical enough .
I traded my iPad Mini 6 to Apple for the iPad mini 7 it is the only iPad I own, it is my only computer other than my iPhone and Apple Watch. I traded up to the 256gb plus cellular, the mini 7 only cost me $200. I use luma fusion for editing videos, I also use Ferrite, Affinity photo, when needed I connect it to a monitor ( I do wish I could extended the display vs mirror), I can connect to other computers using RDP when needed. All in all I like the portability, and it saved me a lot of money vs purchasing an M4 iPad Pro or a Mac book etc.
The iPad range is such a contrasting field of potential tools... for peoples differing needs and requirements. Those that call themselves artists for instance, can inform you to only use the larger, more powerful and better screened - iPad Pros... if you exclusively want to use bitmap painting tools. Yet some creatives ( designers, vector illustrators, etc. ) use a desktop as their daily driver, but enjoy sketching roughs and ideas down on an iPad mini. So two different sets of 'creatives' will offer you completely opposite conclusions. As to which iPad to buy. This probably mirrors itself... within other fields and real world uses too. There's a range of sizes and 'power' for a reason. There is no standard iPad user.
My opinion- the iPad mini does what its supposed to do and that is be a supplement to what you already have. I have multiple iPads -versions/sizes. I’m an average schmo so when I’m on the go I just need my mini to fill the gap of my multimedia consumption addiction. It’s only fair that I disclose that I am an apple fanboy and sometimes I upgrade just to have the latest.
@@richard4079 My brother is all Apple and has the pro, the air and a mini 4 he uses as a sat nav. I didn’t want to upgrade my I phone 13 and decided it was time to upgrade my mini 4. Made better value sense to get the 256 gig version with Apple intelligence.
Upgraded from the 2019 5th Gen and, including the Apple trade-in, actually paid slightly less than that cost me in 2020. This is the form factor that works for me, and it really complements my iPhone 13 Mini. Just wish it came in the same Product Red colour. Thanks for the content.
@@rycmrc I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max that usually just sits in a drawer, unless I’m traveling and taking photos. I primarily use my iPhone SE 3. I’d be willing to pay Apple a couple hundred bucks to replace an iPhone 16 Pro Max’s screen to an LCD screen if I could. As much as Apple says they care about health, they should have an option like that for people who get headaches from PWM.
I traded in my IPhone 14 Pro Max at RM2700 for IPad Mini 6 at RM2200 and Pencil Pro at RM549. I only had to fork out RM49 extra ie. at USD12. Worth the trade 😊
Love the format of this one Jason. I am an iPad mini fan but for what I use it for I will stick with my Mini 6. Look at it this way, It's a great time to pick up the mini 6 and save money. :)
For right now the mini 6 64 gb is super cheap but I was going to get the 256 gb but the mini 7 128 gb is only$30 more so I got the 7 instead. I had the 5 so I think I made the right choice.
I've used the iPad Air 4th gen for ages and it's still a beast. Now that I bought a MacBook Air M3 I find the 11' size a bit cumbersome. The iPad mini seems a reasonable upgrade since I'll only use it for reading/signing documents
Awesome video, I’ve really enjoyed it! Useful as well, I’ve been on the fence abt buying the mini 7… at any rate, u have a new subscriber, loved your video n energy 😃
I was holding out for a good release of iPad mini, but Apple had other plans and barely did anything special to iPad mini 7. I’m glad I waited and got m4 11” iPad Pro. It’s perfect 👌
I’ve had the mini 6 and 7. Both too small when you have been using larger IPads. I found with both the 6 and 7 that the power button and volume buttons are poorly located. You’d expect the new 7 to have Face ID. Nope still has a finger print scanner. They may be great for travel. Step up and buy at least a 10 inch model.
I have Mini 6, 11” 2018, and 13” 21 or 22. If I could only have one of these, it would be the Mini. Anyone who reads will understand the joy of this lightweight format.
Lol.. I wanna hear him explain "painfully". I have yet to read a review "OMG this is the best thing since Apple pie!" yeah apple pie. No one.. just letting better chip.. why they didn't put the A18 in.. things like that. Seems SOME are making something out of nothing to get views
I bought an M1 iPad Pro 12.9" with a white Magic Keyboard used locally for $600 last week. Three years ago it cost 1800+ retail. I can't imagine buying an iPad Mini for $500. I can imagine buying a folding iPhone that's the size of an iPad Mini unfolded for $1800 though...
So great lord the intro. I old my M1 Pro for the mini and have some regrets as well, but I'm sure I'll get one again someday and repeat the process down the road.
I thought I would watch a normal Ipad mini review, didn't know I would bump into some Adam Elliot's aesthetics ❤ loved it. Probably the Ipad mini will be my only Apple device ever. ☺
I want to get an iPad mini 1. e-reader (i thought to get a kindle) 2. use during lunch break instead of using my phone (because i want something just a little larger) 3. may be a nice size to take notes with pencil 4. extra space for pics
yea I don't get how people can use an iPad as their only computer. iPads aren't really good for anything when you already have a phone and a MacBook can do way more. That shot of you trying to use the keyboard for this iPad just seems daunting when MacBooks exist... that's my .02 though I've purchased and sold so many iPads
@@The_MEMEphis WRONG its was the 7..... 399 since I bought one. " your guarantee" is bullshite and people like you is good be ignored in any common sense....
The price is interesting, because for what you're getting, compared to a new iPhone it's a great deal in some sense. But when you compare it to the iPad air, as you mentioned, not a great value.
I bought the Mini 7 thinking I had more time to return it. I missed the return date(14 day) by 3 days so I won’t b returning it and I don’t like it. I got the maxed out WiFi+cellular 512GB. $1092 with an apple case and sales tax. The display sucks. Seems slow after using my M4 iPad Pro. I only wanted it as a travel iPad so I’ll make the best of it.
Don’t fret over it. It’s still a good travel iPad because of its size. Maybe over specked a bit since it’s not trying to do anything compared to an iPad Pro. I myself almost bought it but the wife convinced me that it just too small for photo editing, so ended up getting the iPad 10th generation. If it really bugs you to use it, trade it in, sure you’ll take a loss but that’s life. Then you can get the iPad you should have picked up, or keep it until Apple comes out with a true IPad Pro in this small size.
You should’ve waited until last week because mine is eligible for the holiday return until January 8th. I purchased mine 3 days ago but I haven’t opened it yet because I am waiting for the screen protector to arrive.
I travel a lot, shorter one to three days trips, and when I do, I don't pack my Asus G15, which weighs over three kilos, with the power brick. This is why I need an iPad mini
Jason, I have to say, I truly enjoyed your intro 😂. Although I am retired and lazy, I do a lot of reading and sometimes consume a lot of streaming, but not having the stomach u r proud of, my elbows on the bed serve me well as a viewing platform. Having started with the IPad 1, then the 5, I do like the speed of the 7, size, portability and the memory. So I am content. Maybe you should do some improv, which seems like your niche .. thank you 👍🏼
Thanks!. I definitely need to get rid of some of this belly. It started durning the pandemic and continued to grow. I'm going to do more videos like this. It was fun.
I bought the Mini 7 after waiting a lot because of the hype with Mini 6 ...and everything is sooo small! You can put the fonts and icons bigger but the OS is not well made or fit properly and for some apps to take notes is not enough screen unless you take kind of post it size notes...or the webpages are the mobile version, so it is like reading on your phone or a little bigger. The screen is laggy even with the new chip. I don't know, but I feel I little bit disappoint after every RUclipsr talking about the benefits of this size. Perfect for reading a book (maybe a kindle could be better and cheaper) and watching RUclips in bed but not much more...
I think Apple has just gotten lazy or lacks creativity anymore. Resting on their laurels with no exciting new products or designs across their line-up. Maybe an iPad mini starting at 249$ that is just used for simple games, content viewing, and reading in a pinch (I, too love my kindle for reading) would be better.
I think $250 oe $300 would be much more attractive, but then that steps on the base model iPad. And they can do just enough to market the Mini as a more "premium" device.
the iPad Pro 11in is both so good and so bad. I wonder if I should have gone with the 13in. Then, at least it could be a better, more expensive second screen for my MBP 14 when I’m out and about. I don’t really see why I would need an iPad Mini when I already have a phone that is almost that same size.
I kinda felt like PHT was built on negativity, or peoplle expected negativity from it. The growth was stalled and I needed to do something different. All good things come to an end. 🤷🏻
@thejasontlewis I don't know...negativity never come to my mind when I heard it...honesty whether you like it or not came to my mind...it was unique and the way you started your video by saying it with that enthusiasm... It Was really great.
12:50 Yeah, they absolutely ain't interested in it despite the huge following. Meanwhile, the iPhone mini was a failed experiment due to being "too little, too late"; by the time it came around, folks have been spoiled hard by the massive screens...goin' back to smaller was simply & absolutely NOT an option for those hardcore folks.
The price hold me off as well. The mini 6 is $350 and can sometimes be found open box even cheaper. But then its so close in price to the mini 7 that I would rather bump up but then its too expensive again lol.
iPad's are good for listening to podcasts while in the shower, and its a nice remote control for some desktop apps like Logic Pro. But I use to want the Biggest iPad pro then I picked up the base A14 iPad Pro and well its fine and costs like $299 so I'm happy!
It reminds me of the 12” MacBook. You’re paying more for the form factor I guess and I just got the iPad mini 7 my first mini and I have a 12.9” pro and I love my new iPad for the basic stuff I plan to use it for RUclips and maybe PUBG mobile… I wasn’t a gamer either but u should try PUBG it’s super fun once you play a few rounds
Too many cry babies in here wanting this to be a full on editing tool….🥴🥴🥴🥴 Get a grip. It’s perfect for what MOST PEOPLE NEED IT FOR…. Save your pennies or ask mom for a raise in your allowance so you can get a iPad Pro if you desperately need it….
The point was that for $100 more you get an iPad Air with a much more powerful M2 chip, which offers a ton more power and can do jusut about anything. By your logic, the only reason to buy this is because it's small.
@@thejasontlewisit really depends on what you need. If it's your only device, then yes it needs more. But I already have a top of the line MacBook that does it all. The mini is for fun!
the chip def isn't overkill... imo, the ipad mini can always use the CPU upgrades... ik ppl like this don't game.. but ipad minis are very very popular for gaming. more power in cpu/gpu perf is always good/welcome... but ya... for ppl who use their ipad for youtube and email.. ya it's overkill [you can do that with a $60 amazon fire tablet]... but that isn't everyone. oh and i'm not talking about tetris as "gaming" lol would have absolutely loved to see an M3-M4 chip in the mini
a tiny lcd screen for $500 seems like a bad deal to me. The screen is much lower quality than any OLED screen attached to the phone u already have. So getting a worse (but slightly bigger) screen than your phone eith all of the same gunctions just doesnt seem to be a good deal at all. Im sure its highly profitable for apple to keep selling lcd screens when most people wont accept them on phones anymore. I kove apple its just an observation.
Wrong question asked. I totally believe it's worth $500. But, I don't believe I'll ever get $500 of entertainment and productivity out of it. The screen may be perfection and yet I'll still cast the movie or video to my larger TV. Productivity and so I'm grabbing the cellphone or sitting down being productive with my M1 Mac instead. None of this is Apple's fault. My love of tablets faded as grabbing the phone is so darn easy.
Great video. It'll be interesting to see how apple guardrails "Apple Intelligence" given their research into how bad LLMs are at any form of logic and reasoning, and thus their complete inability to know when it's hallucinating.
I have an issue with all the writing crutches. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think people should learn how to write and communicate well and that will 10x to their personand professional growth.
Not everyone wants a big iPad. This is the perfect iPad it’s like the size of a small notebook. I would take this and an Apple Watch and leave the phone at home

the display could be extended via HDMI EDID emulator dongle, there's the video about it: shorts/ng2ikuGiZT4
I upgraded from the mini 4 to the 7. No regrets, as it saves me upgrading my I phone 13 to get Apple Intelligence.

Nice intro! Many people wonder why would you get rid of the iPad Pro M4, but at the end of the day, it's your choice.
I ask myself why I got rid of the M4. The 13" was too big, but the 11" woulf have been perfect. It was an aborted attemp to go all-iPad all the time.
It needs MagSafe so you can easily move it from the bedroom to the kitchen
There are magnet cases or adhesives that you can use, but that kinda runins the aesthetic.

You’re paying more for the form factor I guess and I just got the iPad mini 7 my first mini and I have a 12.9” pro and I love my new iPad for the basic stuff I plan to use it for RUclips and maybe PUBG mobile… I wasn’t a gamer either but u should try PUBG it’s super fun once you play a few rounds
I wish it was only like 300. Also, I think I've mentioned this but I am pretty sure we live in the same area.
Here to request a video about your thoughts on general AI and the current state of this buzzword. Nice and (painfully) honest review! :)
I don’t have either but I think if they would ensure the screen scroll thing then I would be more inclined to bite.
Holy guacamole i have never felt more called out during an intro
So he regrets the pixel fold purchase?
Too many cry babies in here wanting this to be a full on editing tool….🥴🥴🥴🥴
Get a grip. It’s perfect for what MOST PEOPLE NEED IT FOR….
Save your pennies or ask mom for a raise in your allowance so you can get a iPad Pro if you desperately need it….
The point was that for $100 more you get an iPad Air with a much more powerful M2 chip, which offers a ton more power and can do jusut about anything. By your logic, the only reason to buy this is because it's small.
@@thejasontlewisit really depends on what you need. If it's your only device, then yes it needs more. But I already have a top of the line MacBook that does it all. The mini is for fun!
the chip def isn't overkill... imo, the ipad mini can always use the CPU upgrades... ik ppl like this don't game.. but ipad minis are very very popular for gaming. more power in cpu/gpu perf is always good/welcome... but ya... for ppl who use their ipad for youtube and email.. ya it's overkill [you can do that with a $60 amazon fire tablet]... but that isn't everyone.
oh and i'm not talking about tetris as "gaming" lol
would have absolutely loved to see an M3-M4 chip in the mini
That was actually a painfully honest review. 😂
Thanks. I try.
a tiny lcd screen for $500 seems like a bad deal to me. The screen is much lower quality than any OLED screen attached to the phone u already have. So getting a worse (but slightly bigger) screen than your phone eith all of the same gunctions just doesnt seem to be a good deal at all. Im sure its highly profitable for apple to keep selling lcd screens when most people wont accept them on phones anymore. I kove apple its just an observation.
The background score is awful n painful, even though it was at a low volume -
Don’t need it
Thanks for your input
Not sure why people comment on a product they know isn’t meant for them lol.
Wrong question asked. I totally believe it's worth $500. But, I don't believe I'll ever get $500 of entertainment and productivity out of it. The screen may be perfection and yet I'll still cast the movie or video to my larger TV. Productivity and so I'm grabbing the cellphone or sitting down being productive with my M1 Mac instead. None of this is Apple's fault. My love of tablets faded as grabbing the phone is so darn easy.
Your stomach line made me laughed
I’ve got iPad Pro, iPad and iPad mini. Use the mini more than anything else
Instead of getting an iPad Mini 7, just get the iPad Air M2 11”. M2 processor >>A17 processor.
Apple does deliver off there website. You can buy things without going to an Apple Store 😂
Are you trading this in for your iPad 13inch back? 🤣
We need an iPad Air Mini; same specs in smaller form factor.
lol at that intro ... I agree😂
Thanks.
I wish it had 120 hz
New colors and landscape camera and thinner bezels
Yep.
Better better life and brighter/better screen is all
I like it - sent from my iPad
Imagine complaining about touch id. Maybe you'd prefer to enter a password instead :P
Compared to faceID? Yeah, it's more of a pain.
Love your videos Jason! I still remember you, I sold you the iMac Pro from the Apple Store.
The purple iPad Mini 7 is (or was) $400 in Amazon, FYI. 😀
Ha! I love that computer. I should have kept it for longer than I did. It sure took some doing to scrape together enough gift cards. Good to see ya!
Great video. It'll be interesting to see how apple guardrails "Apple Intelligence" given their research into how bad LLMs are at any form of logic and reasoning, and thus their complete inability to know when it's hallucinating.
I have an issue with all the writing crutches. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think people should learn how to write and communicate well and that will 10x to their personand professional growth.
Yeah, one of the very few drawbacks to IA. Road tripping to Des Moines for tech 🤪
Man, it kills me. I lived in NYC for a long time and could get anything I wanted anything. But I was usually broke. The irony.
I paid 1k for mines. Got the cellular version.
Is it worth it to buy the cellular for you?
@ I just purchased it so can’t tell you until I actually hook up the iPad to a cellular line. I’ll always have that option.
I love it.
Genius.
hell u can get mac mini4 for 599...Ipad mini is worth 250-300🤦🏻♀️
This reads like a painfully honest review of you, not the Mini 7..
Whatever gets the job done.
Hah, I have the same mug but it just says Yoda Best, no mom. So my mom can't use it.
Nice.
Bro it's just 500 I lost my life savings on Tyson last night. 😭
It’s apparently good for Pokémon go
If this guy actually sold his m4 iPad Pro… then he lost more money on that.. then he paid for to get the iPad 7..
Daamn. Your buying decisions really make no sense. You knew all that before buying this.
What can I say. I buy a lot more stuff because I hahve this channel, but still, I should know better.
@@thejasontlewis True I didn't mean to criticize you 🙏 I actually really liked the video but I am still pissed about Apple not upgrading the screen 😊
the background music was really distracting
That're pretty fun.
I hate writing on it too
I totally disagree.
For $500, I can buy a refurbished iPad PRO 11 with the M-1 chip! I’d rather buy that! 😂👍
yeah.
Not everyone wants a big iPad. This is the perfect iPad it’s like the size of a small notebook. I would take this and an Apple Watch and leave the phone at home
Hahaha 😂the best in the GAME ❤
Thank you, sir.
Mini 7 is the laziest upgrade
