Well said. I have 2 specific use-cases for mine: mainly reading e-books and digital planning/journaling. (bonus for a little doodling, content consumption, gaming, etc.) Can't wait for my Mini to arrive tomorrow. I am "downgrading" from an iPad Pro 11', but I rarely used it because it's just... way too big! I didn't find it pleasant to use while sitting on the couch, in my hammock, or in bed. Meanwhile, I was carrying around a thick, A5 discbound notebook for planning & journaling. The form factor of the Mini is going to fit perfectly in my lifestyle -- I'll finally be able to go fully digital without sacrificing the convenience of my tiny notebook. I share this because if you're reading this, and this sounds familiar, then this is probably the right iPad for you! Test with an A5 notebook and see how carrying that feels -- it's the perfect digital tool that fits in between my phone and laptop. Big thanks to Everyday Dad for helping me realize this :)
your absolutly right, I have had my Ipad mini for three months and I knew when I got it exactly what I was going to use it for. I use it to take notes for my engineering classes, and content consumption. It is fast as hell and I can even run some engineering programs like Matlab on it. Its not for everyone but I recommend this or a full sized I pad for engineers. the Battery in this Ipad lasts longer, and sturdier than my $1000 Lenovo IdeaPad. Honestly it is one of my favorite pieces of tech.
Fantastic breakdown of the mini. I had a much older generation mini that I used the hell out of during all of my business trips, especially international. It was the perfect size for travel. Mine did not work with Apple Pencil which was my major gripe as I wanted to do digital art on the go. My primary uses were watching movies, reading books, reading comic books, and lounge around the house device. I now drag my iPad Pro everywhere including right now with these comments 🤣
I have a MacBook Air, iPad Pro 11” and just purchased this mini 6 when it first came out. I’ve been utilizing my mini way more than my iPad Pro. When I need something bigger, I find myself reaching for the MacBook Air. So I gave my iPad Pro to my son for college. I’ve had no regrets!
I've always loved the iPad mini; I spent a lot of last year before Apple announced the mini 6 trying to decide whether I should keep my mini 5 or get a bigger iPad. I liked the iPad Air/iPad Pro 11-inch, especially with the Magic Keyboard, but I always found it to be a little too small for the computer-y tasks I wanted to use it for and too large for just chilling on the couch watching RUclips or reading a book. Getting the mini 6 was the best choice I made, though, because it gave me an iPad in the form factor I liked while giving it a much-needed design overhaul and more power inside to do all the iPad tasks I could want. It also allowed me to consider the 12.9-inch iPad Pro for more serious tasks with a keyboard, one that I hadn't even considered before because it was way to big for my tablet needs. No, not the cheapest solution, but now my iPad mini 6 and iPad Pro 12.9 work in tandem to give me the best of both worlds that the iPad lives in.
iPad mini is the perfect iPad for me. The size is perfect e mobility is very important, I can carry it anywhere, it’s my notebook, my schedule, planner, content consumption, social media, news reader, email…. All in a small, yet, big enough device! I own the mini 5 and it’s still great for me.
Dropped my plans for the iPad Pro 11 and bought the Mini 6 last week instead. Like you said, it about how you will use it and not everyone is planning to use it for editing, etc. Realized my work was better done on my iMac and the Mini is perfect for social, surfing, books and games...just for fun and the size is perfect for this! No regrets and am loving it! Also, if needed, I can still do almost any work on it.
Love mine. I’ve been using it for my daily driver. Digital planner, video and media consumption, and as an ereader. I can basically use it for everything. I did just buy a 12.9 as a laptop replacement to use for my graduate degree, but that’s all it’s for. I want to use my mini for all things
I have a 2018 12.9 inch iPad Pro but the device I use most often is my iPad mini 6. Why? It’s the perfect size for use as a digital notepad and, since it is pretty much exactly the size of a trade paperback, it’s also the perfect size for use as an eBook reader. It fits into the pocket of my winter parka and in my hip pack. Plus, it enables me to do all the other things an iPad can do-surf the web at a size more functional than my iPhone 12vPro, play the occasional game, listen to audio books, AirPlay music to my HomePods in a manner that enables me to see and interact with my playlists. About the only things my iPad Pro 12.9 inch is better suited for is watching movies and getting me a wireless internet connection on the rare instances when I’m somewhere that doesn’t offer WiFi. And the latter is only because my IPP is a cellular model but my iPad mini 6 is not.
i love my iPad Mini. if i had to upgrade it, this is what i would add: -better screen. mini-LED with pro motion -bigger battery. because we could always use a bigger battery. -move the touch ID and place it back to where it used to be. also i don't think it needs to be a physical button and could be something like a 'touch pad' on the bezel
I should have bought the iPad mini instead of the 11" pro. I had a mini years ago and it is the perfect size. The 11" for me is just too big for portability. Thanks for the great info
I’m waiting for mine to come in. Ordered a month ago. This was the iPad mini I wanted when they came out with the 5th gen… I still had the original so got the 5th gen when it came out. Will be a great upgrade. Always have had the small size for travel but a little bit bigger then my iPhone for watching content.
Currently, I have an Ipad Pro for home use and an iPad Mini for travel/work use, mainly social media, games, podcasts and web browsing. I don't carrying around the Pro if unnecessary. Also, the Mini nicely replicates reading comics, since its roughly the same size as a floppy.
Currently watching on my ipad mini 6. It is perfect for doctors on the go! Fits in my small handbag perfectly and so lightweight I forget it’s in there until I need it.
I bought the iPad mini for note taking, especially in church. I was in a dilemma on the iPad Air 4 or mini 6. After almost a month of thinking I went for the mini 6, didn't regret at all. It's the perfect size to take out in my sling bag, and not distractive in solemn events. I had an iPad Air 2 prior to this and yes it was a hassle to bring the device around.
My mini (5th gen) is my favorite note taking device. It has become my go to for note taking in church too. Occasionally we go to church with my parents, and my mom takes notes on a regular iPad, a couple generations old. It makes a pretty huge difference to have the smaller form factor.
I'm definitely the right demographic for it. I had the iPad Pro 11" and was looking to do some work on the iPad and see if it could replace my laptop - it couldn't, so I just made a gaming device out of it but despite its power, it was too big to comfortably play games on for hours, so I downgraded and bought the mini 6. It's the perfect device if you're a mobile gamer. Great size and super portable, still absolutely future proof in terms of processing power, and great battery life (easily lasts me one full day and more with heavy gaming). I'm only missing the 120Hz display and extra RAM on the Pro, other than that it's definitely my best buy from 2021.
This mini would be fantastic for a business that’s on the move.. like a personal trainer or something. You could take payments at your classes with the iPad mini 6. You could invoice and even keep a simple set of books. When you look at it from a business perspective, the price starts becoming less jarring.
If you own a MacBook, then a large iPad with keyboard doesn’t make much sense unless you do a lot of drawing. The iPad Mini is a better fit - especially if you have an Apple One subscription.
Hey Gary great review of the mini. I’ll add my 2 cents to the reason why I wanted one of these for the past couple years. I am a Pastor and have been using an iPad mini 2 then 4 for preaching/teaching from. The mini is the perfect size for me to use in the pulpit or works just as good at a graveside when officiating a funeral, likewise it works wonderful while officiating weddings. When the mini 5 came out I had just got the mini 4, and it didn’t support the Apple Pencil 2, so it wasn’t worth the upgrade… then it was years without an upgrade and I kind of lost hope on a mini 6 (mini pro). When the ipad Air 4 was released I decided to give it a try, it was OK but it was just too large for the above mentioned uses. So when they finally released the mini 6 I preordered it and as soon as it arrived I never touched the Air 4 again - sold it and never looked back. The mini 6 is really the perfect size for my use as a pastor and the Apple Pencil 2 support makes it even better, great for taking notes during business meetings and other meetings. I also use it for some mobile gaming and content consumption. Bottom line it is the ideal size for my use and I would recommend it to anyone with similar usage scenarios like pastors, teachers, etc.
My pastor also uses it for services. I find a lot of pastors using them now. I personally bought it for reading the bible and taking notes . its the perfect size for both. Just waiting for mine to arrive.
I’m a school teacher and currently looking into this size iPad for my classroom use. I have small hands, and per size and weight, this looks easier to carry around throughout the day than the standard iPad.
@@PastorLoren I've been watching a ton of videos and sort of "shark circling" the minis at our local stores. 😂 I agree, I think it's kind of an ideal size for my purposes. Probably going to order one soon.
The iPad Mini 6 is my favorite piece of tech I own. I never really connected with the previous Minis. I think I had a 4 (or 5?) but ended up using that for my DJI Mini 2 drone, so it worked very well for that. But I never used it for anything else. I was happily using an iPad Pro 11” when the Mini was announced. With my work moving more towards various cloud applications and not locally-installed applications, I found myself using my iPad Pro 11” for work quite a bit. So when it came down to deciding to buy the Mini, I knew it couldn’t replace the 11” as my main tablet device as that would be counter-productive. I ended up trading in the 11” Pro for the 12.9” mini-led Pro while also picking up the Mini 6. So now I feel like I have the best of both worlds. Apple Pencil support is an amazing feature. Note taking during meetings, ultra-portable, HUGE display even if it’s just an optical illusion (no Home Button, small bezels, small footprint). Anyway, enough rambling. It’s a fantastic device. I can’t recommend it enough.
My niche use case for this one is how the pro didn't feel right for me since I only wanted a secondary/companion device with my hefty enough gaming laptop and this is the only tablet size that felt right for my case. The fact that it's VERY capable doesn't hurt either
I've never ever considered an iPad Mini, I have an iPad Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro Max but there's something about having a device that's inbetween. I could easily take this with me, use it on the train, on a flight and like you said, throw it in your bag and only take it out when needed!
Honestly love my mini. Everyone has their use for it. Mine is media consumption and reading. Perfect size and weight for a plane or for a bed. I also love using it for iMessage when I get home from work. It gives me an opportunity to put my phone away.
i’m thinking of changing my ipad pro 12.9 2020 to the mini. got the phone mini and love it. this will be so more portable and easy to hold. Don’t think i have ever made full use of the ipad pro features.
Every time I start to think about switching to the air or the 11" pro, I find that the mini can fit in things that almost no other tablet can. Slings, larger fanny packs, etc. No other tablet in the lineup can do this.
Im getting the iPad Mini 6 this Christmas for digital art, video making, animation, portable gaming, school and more. This iPad is the perfect size to do all this. I was originally going for a 4th gen iPad Air but watching this video made me reconsider :)
I love the iPad mini as an ebook reader, a compact video player, and a portable gaming machine. It’s nice and convenient during flights too. Highly recommended.
I bought the iPad Mini 6 right before this semester started and knew exactly what I was going to use it for: gaming. However, it's turned out to be a quite versatile little device, as I've found myself using it in addition to gaming to also: take notes, check my assignment due dates, watch RUclips, read, surf the web, and much more. Can you do this all on an iPhone or iPad Air/Pro? Obviously, but those all lack one major thing: the specific size of the iPad Mini. It's so easy to hold at various different angles. It's easy to see what's on the screen regardless of how far away you hold it from yourself (at least for me). If you want it to disappear it very easily does so, as in you can literally fit it into a coat pocket. I can't stress enough how extremely intuitive the size is, it has been one of the best pieces of technology I have ever purchased. Note that this is also the first iPad I have ever owned in my life, so I can't compare it with other iPads according to my own life experience, but I love this thing and don't regret my purchase in the slightest. I was also pretty lucky because I got mine at Target during a 20% off sale which equated to me getting it for only $399.99 instead of the suggested retail of $499.99. I was originally considering getting the 9, but when I saw that sale, I just knew I had to have it, and I can safely say I have no regrets, what an absolute steal!
I’m using 12 mini and mini 6 since my hands is relatively small. I use the iPad solely for media consuming and my iPhone only for communication and social media. It’s the perfect combination for me
My iPad Pro 11” is my main driver for the house and I even use it on my desk while using my MacMini but it’s not ideal to throw in a smaller knapsack or sling bag, or even to hold in one hand for reading due to the weight partly because of my Logitech keyboard case. The mini looks so attractive for carrying in a bag or even a large pocket, or for holding in one hand for reading, and finally a a display for my Mavic Mini drone.
The problem with Apple's mini products is that they are almost as expensive as their bigger brothers. I wanted the new iPhone mini, but it's only $150 less than the already expensive regular one.
Well I prefer the mini in both cases iPhone and iPad… so I get what I want and it will be cheaper… seems like a win win. I will miss a mini in the line up of this years iPhones. But it are items to use in my free time and not working tools.
@@danmar007 I understand. I have the 12mini now from the day it was released and I love it. I loved the air 2 aswell, I changed it for the ipad7 and just last week I sold that and got the new ipad mini. But like I’ve stated before they are no pro tools.
I exclusively use the iPad mini for note taking. It’s small enough to be held in one hand and I can use the pencil without a table. If I’m using any larger iPad using the pencil in the corners the iPad will move since I cat get as much of a grip on all corners
I love it, I just got mine a couple of hours ago. I'm using mine for content consumption. I tried using a base model iPad and though I loved the build quality it was just too big and cumbersome.
I bought the Mini 6 right when it came out. Initially, I liked it, but I have come to realize I just am not a small iPad kind of guy. I have the pencil and I like to plan my day with planner templates. It's a lot of pinching in and zooming, writing, then zooming back out. The size is nice to carry around...but this day in age, I'm not really traveling anywhere besides my bedroom to my office. Anyway, I just found a refurb deal on an 11" iPad Pro M1 for $600 from Walmart. So I bought that and plan to sell the iPad Mini 6.
It’s basically replaced my phone unless I am commuting and need directions. I used it all the time for university and general reading. Definitely recommend.
I have the mini 6 on order, should be coming in a few weeks. For me this will have many perfect use cases mainly being for reading (basically the size of a paperback book) and also content consumption such as RUclips/Netflix ect. I'll also use it for some note taking, doodling in procreate and quick photo edits. There are so many great use cases for this small portable device, can't wait!
@@kyryl.dls24 I got the 64gb version and I think it will be plenty. I used to have an old iPad Air and used that for years (battery died awhile ago) and it was a 64gb model and I used it for a lot of the same stuff I’m going to use the new mini for and I never had any issues with storage.
But seriously, I never thought I would love my iPad Mini so much! I’ve been doing so much more reading since I got it, it’s so much better than my Kindle!
I got the mini about 3-4 weeks ago and loving it! Was well aware of the jelly scroll “issue” (literally watched 100+ vids about it prior to buying). It took about 3 days for my eye to actually catch it (intentionally looking for it), and now I do notice it often. This may sound crazy, but I’m starting to think of the JS as a cool/neat little feature while scrolling vertically..Most likely me mentally reaching for reasons to like this iPad…but dang I really like this thing! My thoughts are that the pros of the mini totally outweigh the cons, and since the jelly scroll doesn’t actually interfere with normal use/tasks…it’s a straight up great buy. Feeling really positive about my current Apple Ecosystem: M1 MBA + 12 Mini + IPad Mini 6. All 3 devices serve their specific purposes and none of them fight for my time! Great vid as per usual..keep ‘em coming!
Jordan H. - I'm glad you are really happy with your new iPad Mini 6. I do too want one, but until now I can't get past the jelly scrolling effect. I saw it as soon I went to a store to get one, and I left without one. I used a lot the iPad Mini 5, but I gifted it to my brother. As soon as Apple fix this problem (I hope they fix it) I will definitely get one for my self.
Changing from 12.9 to mini 6. Working good with school work, note , music notation and many thing else. Mini6 is really best choice for people who might need small iPad for their Businese or doing something else, I think.
I thought it was super tempting till I played with it in store. I just can't get over the screen... If it had something akin to the iPad Pros screen, I'd snag one in a heartbeat.
I bought the iPad mini after an iPad Pro 11 M1 fell on my head due to its weight. As of now, I'm using it as an ebook reader, a zoom device, and a post-grad notepad with an Apple Pencil and the Good Notes app. I really like the handyness and the way it's portable.
I’m forever stuck in an iPad dilemma. Had an air 4, then got the new mini when it came out, and LOVED it. Much easier to hold when hanging on the couch, or playing a game. However, as time went on, I missed the ability to use the keyboard folio for actual work/productivity. As of now, i’m back to the air because I can’t justify owning both when they are so similar. If apple or another company could come out with a lightweight/thin expandable-style keyboard folio, id probably go back to the mini. Until then, waiting for apple to release the updated air with a15/new camera already
@Alan Hughes Not the same. It's much more convenient to have it attached, be ultra low profile, and protect your iPad at the same time. Instead of also having to have a case, and carry around a separate keyboard. Kind of defeats the purpose of "mini"
I agree, I think logitech should make their combo keyboard/case that they make for the ipad regular and pro for the mini. The keyboard would have to make large compromises, but for the mini a perfect keyboard isn't super important. And the flexibility of that case would be perfect for the mini. Just snap the keyboard off when you don't need it.
@Alan Hughes I think you're missing my point. The whole comment was the reason why I'm using the Air over the Mini, even though I like the mini more. Mini's purpose is completely defeated if you're going to carry around an entire keyboard to go along with it. Air with keyboard folio takes up essentially no extra room in your bag, while also protecting it at the same time, and STILL takes up less room than a mini + standalone keyboard.
I got the ipad air 4 first and switched it for a mini 6 and it was the best decision ever! I just use it so much more now. A tablet should be portable and the mini is perfect for that.
Okay, I’m here to comment on your motto. So having watched your recent videos beginning with iPad Pro 2021 models. The production quality of your videos are consistently very good, expect when you show the ceiling of you studio when you standup. But not biggie. You make your video look effortless in there creation. But having read your Business Insider article and reading how you’ve gone through the process of dialing in what it takes with your time and research effort to gather the correct gear to make your content effortless, while maintaining a high level in quality. That article personifies exactly what your motto states, because of what it took for you to get to where you are with your content for your channel. Not sure if you have, but making a video of what the process you had gone through in getting your YT off and funning to this point and time, and the reason for the choices of gear that you have now to date.
In a weird way, it’s a perfect iPhone. It has has TouchID, no notch, Pencil Support, USB Type C. Virtually everything we want minus the high refresh rate which a good trade off.
I just recently got my iPad mini 6 and I love it especially since it’s replacing my galaxy tab nook and my iPad mini 5 as my new ereader and it’s perfect. I highly recommend it for using as an ereader it’s the perfect size for reading. Plus it’s great for reading fan fiction and doing journaling.
I bought the iPad Mini last week and an iPad Air and I find myself using the Mini, more. The iPad Air replaced my old MacBook Air, but the Mini is a really good small tablet device.
I really wanted to like my iPad mini but I had to return it. The jelly scroll did bother me and it could have used better optimization. Hopefully that gets fixed with the next one.
Ugh this video was great and nudged me over the fence….. until I went to the online Apple store and saw a 5 week shipping time and no models available for pickup around me. Bummer!
I found my iPad was not being used because it was too close in size and weight to my MacBook Air. Use my mini a lot more now I finally got it. I also think it makes a better travel device than the iPad or MacBook Air.
As a woman who doesn't like to carry around huge bags and doesn't use a backpack on the regular (never really outside of travel) I LOVE the mini. It fits into all but the smallest of my bags and is great to just tuck away in there and pull out on my lunch break at work. I also used to pretty much exclusively use the iPad mini back in my earlier days for the same sort of reasons but it fell out of favour as it got more and more neglected by apple
For me, the iPad Mini 6 is perfect for what I need it to be: a one handed tablet and an e-reader, as well as a note taking device, since it supports the Pencil 2. I don’t need a tabletop-style iPad Air or Pro, since they’re bulkier for handheld use, and I don’t need a Magic Keyboard, as I have a more capable MacBook Pro 14.
Feel like you said this is a device that fits curtain case uses. Ones that come to mind is personal airplane pilots. Know that major airlines have gone to the larger iPads for the crew. Health care applications, and settings. Workplace application solutions. Works best for people on the move in the workspace.
I’ve got the cheapest iPhone 12 mini, watch se and iPad 9 4G... the iPhone sometimes won’t load games settings or apps store properly until the 2nd update after launch , works very good now on the latest update…😍 the iPad had a problem where it won’t switch from landscape to portrait mode or just the bottom bar changed to portrait the apps icons and widgets are still on landscape(r the other way round). this problem are gone on the latest update, but just yesterday I can’t swipe my page around or change the landscape/portrait mode after a crash on google chrome(I think it cause the crash because the screen hangs and all tabs are closed when I relaunch the app). It’s working fine after turning off and on the iPad.😂 The watch works well all the way nothing to complain. Just that I cracked the screen and replace it under AppleCare + with a lower repair cost..😊
By the time I add the price of the iphone 14 pro with 512 and an ipad mini 256, it was $1950 with very little for my trade in. With the Zfold 4 I get both and an awesome trade in allowance from Samsung. Ended up paying $500 total. Oh and I love my Zfold 4 runs circles around the mini and the ultimate portable
Dad, I’ve been talking myself of needing this iPad… then you come with this video… and now I’m only thinking about needing this iPad. As I’m sitting here with my iPad Air 4th Gen.
Just got one for my wife and one for my daughter my wife will use it with a workout bike I just got her. So it will sit on the bike at all times. Specific
2021 I upgraded from a 2018 6th gen. iPad with first gen Apple Pencil to the 6th gen iPad mini with Apple Pencil 2 gen I can not go back to the iPad form factor now that I’ve experienced the Apple Pencil 2, laminated screen, excellent Touch ID. I am a hobby artist and this 6th gen iPad mini is a stretch for my budget. So the 9th gen iPad is more in my price range
I have been loving this ipad mini. It is easy to handle and carry. It is my on the go device. Previously i used surface go. But i decided to change to ipad mini 6. And im glad i did that. I just wish later it will come with 120hz refresh rate and larger battery.
Use case: Perfect screen to LEAVE in treadmill holder. My iPad 3 (for that ONE purpose) finally became troublesome to use. Unable to upgrade certain apps + those still working were glitchy
Great video, about the Ipad mini!! I agree this device is targeted for specific people like myself who has an older device in my case a 6th generation Ipod and want upgrade to an IPad mini to watch movies and TV shows while doing some productivity tasks on the side.
Why I am going to buy the iPad mini in a few months: I just got the iPhone mini and it is a great phone but fine for watching the occasional videos. The iPad mini provides the best size, imo, for watching videos portably around the house. If I want to watch videos on a bigger screen I will always use my desktop computer or TV. It is portable for me when I want a larger screen for taking notes or reading a pdf more comfortably rather than on a desktop or iPhone mini screen
I want to get one to pair with my iPhone se2. It will replace my paper notebook (paired with Apple Pencil), act as an interface to Volumio, and serve as a RUclips screen. Won’t be getting a new phone. Screen real estate at the cost is good. Not too big and not too small. iPhone se is too small for watching video.

I would buy one, but 64GB is not enough, so I would have to buy 256GB... but, for the almost the same price as Mini 256GB I can buy iPad Pro 11" 128GB with M1 which is much better - conclusion - base Mini should have 128GB...

People who get the mini know exactly what they will use it for. The mini isn’t for everyone, it’s specific.
The people who get why the iPad mini is so unique get it. The people who don't, don't.

Well said. I have 2 specific use-cases for mine: mainly reading e-books and digital planning/journaling. (bonus for a little doodling, content consumption, gaming, etc.)
Can't wait for my Mini to arrive tomorrow. I am "downgrading" from an iPad Pro 11', but I rarely used it because it's just... way too big! I didn't find it pleasant to use while sitting on the couch, in my hammock, or in bed.
Meanwhile, I was carrying around a thick, A5 discbound notebook for planning & journaling. The form factor of the Mini is going to fit perfectly in my lifestyle -- I'll finally be able to go fully digital without sacrificing the convenience of my tiny notebook.
I share this because if you're reading this, and this sounds familiar, then this is probably the right iPad for you! Test with an A5 notebook and see how carrying that feels -- it's the perfect digital tool that fits in between my phone and laptop. Big thanks to Everyday Dad for helping me realize this :)

Especially useful for pilots. Just the right size.
As someone who spent the first half of his life in NYC -- I LOVE how fast you talk! No waiting to get to the point!
Fantastic breakdown of the mini. I had a much older generation mini that I used the hell out of during all of my business trips, especially international. It was the perfect size for travel.

My primary uses were watching movies, reading books, reading comic books, and lounge around the house device. I now drag my iPad Pro everywhere including right now with these comments 🤣

I feel the same way, I've been using an ipad mini 4 for 6 years, it's perfect for my needs, and it looks like the mini 6 is the right replacement.
I have a MacBook Air, iPad Pro 11” and just purchased this mini 6 when it first came out. I’ve been utilizing my mini way more than my iPad Pro. When I need something bigger, I find myself reaching for the MacBook Air. So I gave my iPad Pro to my son for college. I’ve had no regrets!
I've always loved the iPad mini; I spent a lot of last year before Apple announced the mini 6 trying to decide whether I should keep my mini 5 or get a bigger iPad. I liked the iPad Air/iPad Pro 11-inch, especially with the Magic Keyboard, but I always found it to be a little too small for the computer-y tasks I wanted to use it for and too large for just chilling on the couch watching RUclips or reading a book. Getting the mini 6 was the best choice I made, though, because it gave me an iPad in the form factor I liked while giving it a much-needed design overhaul and more power inside to do all the iPad tasks I could want. It also allowed me to consider the 12.9-inch iPad Pro for more serious tasks with a keyboard, one that I hadn't even considered before because it was way to big for my tablet needs. No, not the cheapest solution, but now my iPad mini 6 and iPad Pro 12.9 work in tandem to give me the best of both worlds that the iPad lives in.
iPad mini is the perfect iPad for me. The size is perfect e mobility is very important, I can carry it anywhere, it’s my notebook, my schedule, planner, content consumption, social media, news reader, email…. All in a small, yet, big enough device! I own the mini 5 and it’s still great for me.
Dropped my plans for the iPad Pro 11 and bought the Mini 6 last week instead. Like you said, it about how you will use it and not everyone is planning to use it for editing, etc. Realized my work was better done on my iMac and the Mini is perfect for social, surfing, books and games...just for fun and the size is perfect for this! No regrets and am loving it! Also, if needed, I can still do almost any work on it.
this is exactly my thought right now as i’m considering to wait for the next gen ipad mini
Currently watching this on my iPad mini 6! I love it ! Highly recommend
Love mine. I’ve been using it for my daily driver. Digital planner, video and media consumption, and as an ereader. I can basically use it for everything. I did just buy a 12.9 as a laptop replacement to use for my graduate degree, but that’s all it’s for. I want to use my mini for all things
Bought it for my ebooks - kindle, textbooks, and medical references.
I have a 2018 12.9 inch iPad Pro but the device I use most often is my iPad mini 6. Why? It’s the perfect size for use as a digital notepad and, since it is pretty much exactly the size of a trade paperback, it’s also the perfect size for use as an eBook reader. It fits into the pocket of my winter parka and in my hip pack. Plus, it enables me to do all the other things an iPad can do-surf the web at a size more functional than my iPhone 12vPro, play the occasional game, listen to audio books, AirPlay music to my HomePods in a manner that enables me to see and interact with my playlists. About the only things my iPad Pro 12.9 inch is better suited for is watching movies and getting me a wireless internet connection on the rare instances when I’m somewhere that doesn’t offer WiFi. And the latter is only because my IPP is a cellular model but my iPad mini 6 is not.
Just watched this on my new iPad mini 6💜
Exactly!! You NAILED IT when saying that it makes the most sense as a personal planning & scheduling tool.
I bought specifically as a calendar, facetime/zoom and teaching tool. The instruction I read from works perfectly on it.
i love my iPad Mini. if i had to upgrade it, this is what i would add:
-better screen. mini-LED with pro motion
-bigger battery. because we could always use a bigger battery.
-move the touch ID and place it back to where it used to be. also i don't think it needs to be a physical button and could be something like a 'touch pad' on the bezel
Pro-motion is for the iPad pro, so apple would most likely not give it to the other iPads
@@ai00436 ye, just like on iPhones. PROmotion will likely stay a PRO feature for a while, but who knows
@@ai00436 unless they add 240hz for the pros
I should have bought the iPad mini instead of the 11" pro. I had a mini years ago and it is the perfect size. The 11" for me is just too big for portability. Thanks for the great info
I got a iPad mini 6 at launch to replace an aging 9.7” pro and I absolutely love it
I’m waiting for mine to come in. Ordered a month ago. This was the iPad mini I wanted when they came out with the 5th gen… I still had the original so got the 5th gen when it came out. Will be a great upgrade. Always have had the small size for travel but a little bit bigger then my iPhone for watching content.
The first computer I ever bought with my own money was the 2nd gen mini so the form factor will always have a soft spot in my heart.
I got one today I'll be mainly using it for writing down my history notes, reading manga and media consumption
Currently, I have an Ipad Pro for home use and an iPad Mini for travel/work use, mainly social media, games, podcasts and web browsing. I don't carrying around the Pro if unnecessary. Also, the Mini nicely replicates reading comics, since its roughly the same size as a floppy.
Good to hear. I want a mini for all my comics and pdfs. No one else has said this and I’m glad you did.
@@MarcelinoSoliz it only really suffers for double page spreads, but you can usually tend to that by flipping it 90 degrees.
Currently watching on my ipad mini 6. It is perfect for doctors on the go! Fits in my small handbag perfectly and so lightweight I forget it’s in there until I need it.
I bought the iPad mini for note taking, especially in church. I was in a dilemma on the iPad Air 4 or mini 6. After almost a month of thinking I went for the mini 6, didn't regret at all. It's the perfect size to take out in my sling bag, and not distractive in solemn events. I had an iPad Air 2 prior to this and yes it was a hassle to bring the device around.
My mini (5th gen) is my favorite note taking device. It has become my go to for note taking in church too. Occasionally we go to church with my parents, and my mom takes notes on a regular iPad, a couple generations old. It makes a pretty huge difference to have the smaller form factor.
I'm definitely the right demographic for it. I had the iPad Pro 11" and was looking to do some work on the iPad and see if it could replace my laptop - it couldn't, so I just made a gaming device out of it but despite its power, it was too big to comfortably play games on for hours, so I downgraded and bought the mini 6. It's the perfect device if you're a mobile gamer. Great size and super portable, still absolutely future proof in terms of processing power, and great battery life (easily lasts me one full day and more with heavy gaming). I'm only missing the 120Hz display and extra RAM on the Pro, other than that it's definitely my best buy from 2021.
I sold my 2019 iPad Air 3 to buy the iPad Mini 6 and I don’t regret it at all. I love everything about it
This mini would be fantastic for a business that’s on the move.. like a personal trainer or something. You could take payments at your classes with the iPad mini 6. You could invoice and even keep a simple set of books. When you look at it from a business perspective, the price starts becoming less jarring.
If you own a MacBook, then a large iPad with keyboard doesn’t make much sense unless you do a lot of drawing. The iPad Mini is a better fit - especially if you have an Apple One subscription.
Especially since universal contrtol, is comming out. I fully agree. GOnna use it with my Macbook pro 14.
Got an ad for the Book of Boba Fett, and then this video has Gary wearing a Star Wars shirt.
Totally. I was figuring it in my system in the beginning but once I figured it out, I love love love it and with me everywhere
Hey Gary great review of the mini. I’ll add my 2 cents to the reason why I wanted one of these for the past couple years. I am a Pastor and have been using an iPad mini 2 then 4 for preaching/teaching from. The mini is the perfect size for me to use in the pulpit or works just as good at a graveside when officiating a funeral, likewise it works wonderful while officiating weddings. When the mini 5 came out I had just got the mini 4, and it didn’t support the Apple Pencil 2, so it wasn’t worth the upgrade… then it was years without an upgrade and I kind of lost hope on a mini 6 (mini pro). When the ipad Air 4 was released I decided to give it a try, it was OK but it was just too large for the above mentioned uses. So when they finally released the mini 6 I preordered it and as soon as it arrived I never touched the Air 4 again - sold it and never looked back. The mini 6 is really the perfect size for my use as a pastor and the Apple Pencil 2 support makes it even better, great for taking notes during business meetings and other meetings. I also use it for some mobile gaming and content consumption. Bottom line it is the ideal size for my use and I would recommend it to anyone with similar usage scenarios like pastors, teachers, etc.
My pastor also uses it for services. I find a lot of pastors using them now. I personally bought it for reading the bible and taking notes . its the perfect size for both. Just waiting for mine to arrive.
I’m a school teacher and currently looking into this size iPad for my classroom use. I have small hands, and per size and weight, this looks easier to carry around throughout the day than the standard iPad.
@@jngarrettart I would think the mini would be great for what you’re looking for! 😁
@@PastorLoren I've been watching a ton of videos and sort of "shark circling" the minis at our local stores. 😂 I agree, I think it's kind of an ideal size for my purposes. Probably going to order one soon.
The iPad Mini 6 is my favorite piece of tech I own. I never really connected with the previous Minis. I think I had a 4 (or 5?) but ended up using that for my DJI Mini 2 drone, so it worked very well for that. But I never used it for anything else. I was happily using an iPad Pro 11” when the Mini was announced. With my work moving more towards various cloud applications and not locally-installed applications, I found myself using my iPad Pro 11” for work quite a bit. So when it came down to deciding to buy the Mini, I knew it couldn’t replace the 11” as my main tablet device as that would be counter-productive. I ended up trading in the 11” Pro for the 12.9” mini-led Pro while also picking up the Mini 6. So now I feel like I have the best of both worlds. Apple Pencil support is an amazing feature. Note taking during meetings, ultra-portable, HUGE display even if it’s just an optical illusion (no Home Button, small bezels, small footprint). Anyway, enough rambling. It’s a fantastic device. I can’t recommend it enough.
what an iPad journey my man
So we are just gonna ignore that you casually picked up two tablets for yourself. Talk about being extra for no reason.
@@rain403 🤷♂️
@@rain403 he literally told you the reason…
My niche use case for this one is how the pro didn't feel right for me since I only wanted a secondary/companion device with my hefty enough gaming laptop and this is the only tablet size that felt right for my case. The fact that it's VERY capable doesn't hurt either
I've never ever considered an iPad Mini, I have an iPad Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro Max but there's something about having a device that's inbetween. I could easily take this with me, use it on the train, on a flight and like you said, throw it in your bag and only take it out when needed!
Honestly love my mini. Everyone has their use for it. Mine is media consumption and reading. Perfect size and weight for a plane or for a bed. I also love using it for iMessage when I get home from work. It gives me an opportunity to put my phone away.
i’m thinking of changing my ipad pro 12.9 2020 to the mini. got the phone mini and love it. this will be so more portable and easy to hold. Don’t think i have ever made full use of the ipad pro features.
I like it! The tasks I use a laptop for never really require a large display.
Crazy you mention scheduling. I was thinking if getting it for digital planning and journaling!! Gave me the confirmation to get it!!!
Every time I start to think about switching to the air or the 11" pro, I find that the mini can fit in things that almost no other tablet can. Slings, larger fanny packs, etc. No other tablet in the lineup can do this.
A iPhone pro max can😂
@@SHAUNOFTHEWEEK "tablet"
Im getting the iPad Mini 6 this Christmas for digital art, video making, animation, portable gaming, school and more. This iPad is the perfect size to do all this. I was originally going for a 4th gen iPad Air but watching this video made me reconsider :)
I love the iPad mini as an ebook reader, a compact video player, and a portable gaming machine. It’s nice and convenient during flights too. Highly recommended.
I bought the iPad Mini 6 right before this semester started and knew exactly what I was going to use it for: gaming. However, it's turned out to be a quite versatile little device, as I've found myself using it in addition to gaming to also: take notes, check my assignment due dates, watch RUclips, read, surf the web, and much more. Can you do this all on an iPhone or iPad Air/Pro? Obviously, but those all lack one major thing: the specific size of the iPad Mini. It's so easy to hold at various different angles. It's easy to see what's on the screen regardless of how far away you hold it from yourself (at least for me). If you want it to disappear it very easily does so, as in you can literally fit it into a coat pocket. I can't stress enough how extremely intuitive the size is, it has been one of the best pieces of technology I have ever purchased. Note that this is also the first iPad I have ever owned in my life, so I can't compare it with other iPads according to my own life experience, but I love this thing and don't regret my purchase in the slightest. I was also pretty lucky because I got mine at Target during a 20% off sale which equated to me getting it for only $399.99 instead of the suggested retail of $499.99. I was originally considering getting the 9, but when I saw that sale, I just knew I had to have it, and I can safely say I have no regrets, what an absolute steal!
Using the mini 6 now and have been for the last month. It's the perfect size for me and is amazing.
I’m using 12 mini and mini 6 since my hands is relatively small. I use the iPad solely for media consuming and my iPhone only for communication and social media. It’s the perfect combination for me
I been going back and forth on buying one. I bought it to take notes and to use it as basically an electronic notebook at work
What’s it like for note taking? I’m interested in buying one for the same reason. I have the 11 pro and it’s a bit bulky but taking notes is roomy.
My iPad Pro 11” is my main driver for the house and I even use it on my desk while using my MacMini but it’s not ideal to throw in a smaller knapsack or sling bag, or even to hold in one hand for reading due to the weight partly because of my Logitech keyboard case. The mini looks so attractive for carrying in a bag or even a large pocket, or for holding in one hand for reading, and finally a a display for my Mavic Mini drone.
I finally got my hands on an iPad mini 6, and I'm so happy. It's a great companion for my new MacBook.
I was thinking to buy the iPad Mini & than this video comes up
The problem with Apple's mini products is that they are almost as expensive as their bigger brothers. I wanted the new iPhone mini, but it's only $150 less than the already expensive regular one.
Well I prefer the mini in both cases iPhone and iPad… so I get what I want and it will be cheaper… seems like a win win. I will miss a mini in the line up of this years iPhones. But it are items to use in my free time and not working tools.
The tiny factor is sooooo worth it
@@XavierPaesen Yes, that makes sense, If I could afford the iPhone I would get the mini too. And I find my iPad Air 2 surprisingly heavy.
@@danmar007 I understand. I have the 12mini now from the day it was released and I love it. I loved the air 2 aswell, I changed it for the ipad7 and just last week I sold that and got the new ipad mini. But like I’ve stated before they are no pro tools.
making technology smaller is actually more difficult
I exclusively use the iPad mini for note taking. It’s small enough to be held in one hand and I can use the pencil without a table. If I’m using any larger iPad using the pencil in the corners the iPad will move since I cat get as much of a grip on all corners
I love it, I just got mine a couple of hours ago. I'm using mine for content consumption. I tried using a base model iPad and though I loved the build quality it was just too big and cumbersome.
I remember having the old iPad mini 1st gen and it was so good
I bought the Mini 6 right when it came out. Initially, I liked it, but I have come to realize I just am not a small iPad kind of guy. I have the pencil and I like to plan my day with planner templates. It's a lot of pinching in and zooming, writing, then zooming back out. The size is nice to carry around...but this day in age, I'm not really traveling anywhere besides my bedroom to my office. Anyway, I just found a refurb deal on an 11" iPad Pro M1 for $600 from Walmart. So I bought that and plan to sell the iPad Mini 6.
It’s basically replaced my phone unless I am commuting and need directions. I used it all the time for university and general reading. Definitely recommend.
Have had it for over a month now and love it. My go to device now.
I have the mini 6 on order, should be coming in a few weeks. For me this will have many perfect use cases mainly being for reading (basically the size of a paperback book) and also content consumption such as RUclips/Netflix ect. I'll also use it for some note taking, doodling in procreate and quick photo edits. There are so many great use cases for this small portable device, can't wait!
Is 64gb enough? I'm looking to get one for the same reasons as u
@@kyryl.dls24 I got the 64gb version and I think it will be plenty. I used to have an old iPad Air and used that for years (battery died awhile ago) and it was a 64gb model and I used it for a lot of the same stuff I’m going to use the new mini for and I never had any issues with storage.
@@xnightdwellerx8168 not enough if you do alot of gaming on it or store photos and videos like me 😅
But seriously, I never thought I would love my iPad Mini so much! I’ve been doing so much more reading since I got it, it’s so much better than my Kindle!
I got the mini about 3-4 weeks ago and loving it! Was well aware of the jelly scroll “issue” (literally watched 100+ vids about it prior to buying). It took about 3 days for my eye to actually catch it (intentionally looking for it), and now I do notice it often.
This may sound crazy, but I’m starting to think of the JS as a cool/neat little feature while scrolling vertically..Most likely me mentally reaching for reasons to like this iPad…but dang I really like this thing!
My thoughts are that the pros of the mini totally outweigh the cons, and since the jelly scroll doesn’t actually interfere with normal use/tasks…it’s a straight up great buy.
Feeling really positive about my current Apple Ecosystem: M1 MBA + 12 Mini + IPad Mini 6. All 3 devices serve their specific purposes and none of them fight for my time!
Great vid as per usual..keep ‘em coming!
Jordan H. - I'm glad you are really happy with your new iPad Mini 6. I do too want one, but until now I can't get past the jelly scrolling effect. I saw it as soon I went to a store to get one, and I left without one. I used a lot the iPad Mini 5, but I gifted it to my brother.
As soon as Apple fix this problem (I hope they fix it) I will definitely get one for my self.
Changing from 12.9 to mini 6. Working good with school work, note , music notation and many thing else. Mini6 is really best choice for people who might need small iPad for their Businese or doing something else, I think.
Love write in the rain pads. Firs introduced to me while I was in the military (US Army). They should now sponsor you 👍🏽
I thought it was super tempting till I played with it in store. I just can't get over the screen... If it had something akin to the iPad Pros screen, I'd snag one in a heartbeat.
I bought the iPad mini after an iPad Pro 11 M1 fell on my head due to its weight. As of now, I'm using it as an ebook reader, a zoom device, and a post-grad notepad with an Apple Pencil and the Good Notes app. I really like the handyness and the way it's portable.
Bought one and the MacBook Air, I can switch between the two on the go or at home. Truly enjoy having the versatility!
I’m forever stuck in an iPad dilemma. Had an air 4, then got the new mini when it came out, and LOVED it. Much easier to hold when hanging on the couch, or playing a game. However, as time went on, I missed the ability to use the keyboard folio for actual work/productivity. As of now, i’m back to the air because I can’t justify owning both when they are so similar. If apple or another company could come out with a lightweight/thin expandable-style keyboard folio, id probably go back to the mini. Until then, waiting for apple to release the updated air with a15/new camera already
@Alan Hughes Not the same. It's much more convenient to have it attached, be ultra low profile, and protect your iPad at the same time. Instead of also having to have a case, and carry around a separate keyboard. Kind of defeats the purpose of "mini"
I agree, I think logitech should make their combo keyboard/case that they make for the ipad regular and pro for the mini. The keyboard would have to make large compromises, but for the mini a perfect keyboard isn't super important. And the flexibility of that case would be perfect for the mini. Just snap the keyboard off when you don't need it.
@Alan Hughes I think you're missing my point. The whole comment was the reason why I'm using the Air over the Mini, even though I like the mini more.
Mini's purpose is completely defeated if you're going to carry around an entire keyboard to go along with it.
Air with keyboard folio takes up essentially no extra room in your bag, while also protecting it at the same time, and STILL takes up less room than a mini + standalone keyboard.
I use a foldable Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad Mini 6…it’s the perfect combo!
I got the ipad air 4 first and switched it for a mini 6 and it was the best decision ever! I just use it so much more now. A tablet should be portable and the mini is perfect for that.
Okay, I’m here to comment on your motto. So having watched your recent videos beginning with iPad Pro 2021 models. The production quality of your videos are consistently very good, expect when you show the ceiling of you studio when you standup. But not biggie. You make your video look effortless in there creation. But having read your Business Insider article and reading how you’ve gone through the process of dialing in what it takes with your time and research effort to gather the correct gear to make your content effortless, while maintaining a high level in quality. That article personifies exactly what your motto states, because of what it took for you to get to where you are with your content for your channel. Not sure if you have, but making a video of what the process you had gone through in getting your YT off and funning to this point and time, and the reason for the choices of gear that you have now to date.
In a weird way, it’s a perfect iPhone. It has has TouchID, no notch, Pencil Support, USB Type C. Virtually everything we want minus the high refresh rate which a good trade off.
I just recently got my iPad mini 6 and I love it especially since it’s replacing my galaxy tab nook and my iPad mini 5 as my new ereader and it’s perfect. I highly recommend it for using as an ereader it’s the perfect size for reading. Plus it’s great for reading fan fiction and doing journaling.
I bought the iPad Mini last week and an iPad Air and I find myself using the Mini, more. The iPad Air replaced my old MacBook Air, but the Mini is a really good small tablet device.
I really wanted to like my iPad mini but I had to return it. The jelly scroll did bother me and it could have used better optimization. Hopefully that gets fixed with the next one.
Love my Mini, and really enjoying your channel. Great work, Gary! 👍🙂
Ugh this video was great and nudged me over the fence….. until I went to the online Apple store and saw a 5 week shipping time and no models available for pickup around me. Bummer!
I found my iPad was not being used because it was too close in size and weight to my MacBook Air. Use my mini a lot more now I finally got it. I also think it makes a better travel device than the iPad or MacBook Air.
As a woman who doesn't like to carry around huge bags and doesn't use a backpack on the regular (never really outside of travel) I LOVE the mini. It fits into all but the smallest of my bags and is great to just tuck away in there and pull out on my lunch break at work. I also used to pretty much exclusively use the iPad mini back in my earlier days for the same sort of reasons but it fell out of favour as it got more and more neglected by apple
For me, the iPad Mini 6 is perfect for what I need it to be: a one handed tablet and an e-reader, as well as a note taking device, since it supports the Pencil 2. I don’t need a tabletop-style iPad Air or Pro, since they’re bulkier for handheld use, and I don’t need a Magic Keyboard, as I have a more capable MacBook Pro 14.
Imma start saving up... I was contemplating if I should get the Ipad Air or Ipad Mini and you just sold me into getting this. Thank you so much ☺️
Is it better than the iPad Air 4 for school?
Feel like you said this is a device that fits curtain case uses. Ones that come to mind is personal airplane pilots. Know that major airlines have gone to the larger iPads for the crew. Health care applications, and settings. Workplace application solutions. Works best for people on the move in the workspace.
Had the mini 5, and ended up returning the 6 to keep the 5.
Everything was almost perfect, except that damn screen. Jelly scrolling killed it for me.
For pilots in small cockpits it’s almost perfect. We use it for apps like Foreflight or Garmin Pilot.
I’ve got the cheapest iPhone 12 mini, watch se and iPad 9 4G...
the iPhone sometimes won’t load games settings or apps store properly until the 2nd update after launch , works very good now on the latest update…😍
the iPad had a problem where it won’t switch from landscape to portrait mode or just the bottom bar changed to portrait the apps icons and widgets are still on landscape(r the other way round). this problem are gone on the latest update, but just yesterday I can’t swipe my page around or change the landscape/portrait mode after a crash on google chrome(I think it cause the crash because the screen hangs and all tabs are closed when I relaunch the app). It’s working fine after turning off and on the iPad.😂
The watch works well all the way nothing to complain. Just that I cracked the screen and replace it under AppleCare + with a lower repair cost..😊
I’ve had the new mini since October and absolutely love it.
I like the older version with the home button
I’ve been trying to find a purple one without luck. They fit right in front of my work monitors for binging shows 😂
I luckily found one today it was last in the stock hope you find it soon
I have an iPad Pro but I wanted to buy a mini because it is more portable than the pro. This is a great video! New subscriber here.
What case are you using with your iPad Mini in the video?
What an excellent breakdown. Thank you.
By the time I add the price of the iphone 14 pro with 512 and an ipad mini 256, it was $1950 with very little for my trade in. With the Zfold 4 I get both and an awesome trade in allowance from Samsung. Ended up paying $500 total. Oh and I love my Zfold 4 runs circles around the mini and the ultimate portable
Dad, I’ve been talking myself of needing this iPad… then you come with this video… and now I’m only thinking about needing this iPad. As I’m sitting here with my iPad Air 4th Gen.
I do plan on getting one it’s the right size for me
Just got one for my wife and one for my daughter my wife will use it with a workout bike I just got her. So it will sit on the bike at all times. Specific
Yesssss. Rite in the Rain from Tacoma! Always great videos.
Literally watched this video ON my iPad mini. Lol. Love mine & Love the shirt.
2021 I upgraded from a 2018 6th gen. iPad with first gen Apple Pencil to the 6th gen iPad mini with Apple Pencil 2 gen
I can not go back to the iPad form factor now that I’ve experienced the Apple Pencil 2, laminated screen, excellent Touch ID. I am a hobby artist and this 6th gen iPad mini is a stretch for my budget. So the 9th gen iPad is more in my price range
I have been loving this ipad mini. It is easy to handle and carry. It is my on the go device. Previously i used surface go. But i decided to change to ipad mini 6. And im glad i did that. I just wish later it will come with 120hz refresh rate and larger battery.
Use case: Perfect screen to LEAVE in treadmill holder. My iPad 3 (for that ONE purpose) finally became troublesome to use. Unable to upgrade certain apps + those still working were glitchy
Great video, about the Ipad mini!! I agree this device is targeted for specific people like myself who has an older device in my case a 6th generation Ipod and want upgrade to an IPad mini to watch movies and TV shows while doing some productivity tasks on the side.
Why I am going to buy the iPad mini in a few months:
I just got the iPhone mini and it is a great phone but fine for watching the occasional videos.
The iPad mini provides the best size, imo, for watching videos portably around the house.
If I want to watch videos on a bigger screen I will always use my desktop computer or TV.
It is portable for me when I want a larger screen for taking notes or reading a pdf more comfortably rather than on a desktop or iPhone mini screen
I love the mini
Perfectly pairs with a MacBook for school, nice for drawing and notes
Also I got it for 240 after trading in my mini5
I want to get one to pair with my iPhone se2. It will replace my paper notebook (paired with Apple Pencil), act as an interface to Volumio, and serve as a RUclips screen. Won’t be getting a new phone. Screen real estate at the cost is good. Not too big and not too small. iPhone se is too small for watching video.
I would buy one, but 64GB is not enough, so I would have to buy 256GB... but, for the almost the same price as Mini 256GB I can buy iPad Pro 11" 128GB with M1 which is much better - conclusion - base Mini should have 128GB...
Yeah I feel this way too
