M1 MacBook Air and iPad mini 6 are still a great combo in 2024
Such a killer combo! Would you upgrade if they release a new one in June?
*I Agree and with a Price of $649 for the M1 Macbook Air it's HILARIOUS how people associate Number with better. M2 is better then M1 because its number 2 and the M3 is better then the M2 because it says 3 and not even realizing that the M1 can do A LOT in it's Base form, so It's still a GREAT Macbook Air Rose Gold M1 for $500 at Costco and THAT was a Steal. People need to stop reading reviews an just go by what will work for them*
@@BlackapinoTheTechGuy Totally agree!
@@JonAdamsTech if you're a content creator like most of us, then we ALREADY know the base models aren't for us
@@BlackapinoTheTechGuy I don't think most people on youtube are content creators, but you're right if you are a content creator then you should definitely know that the base model isn't for you.
If the mini gets pro, that’s the endgame for me! I need that.
I really really hope so!!
Couldn’t agree more
Ain’t happening
Just 120hz
@@07truth We will see in a few weeks!
I agree, the mini is THE pad for me. When the new iPad mini comes out I will be getting it.
Same, I can’t wait for them to kick out a new one!
I want one to display my smart home dashboard by my bed
Yeah i've seen a lot of people use it for smart home use
I don't think the 7th gen will be that much better. I've done the homework and it will have the same display, the processor will be an improvement but not that big of one. The camera will be improved but who really uses an iPad mini for a camera? Keep your 6 and save some bread.
@@brucechandler9484 Yeah i literally never use the camera on an ipad
Imagine the mini with a 9 inch display and reduced bezels. That's realistically the biggest it could get while still being mini
That would be dope! What I really want though is that display to be upgraded
@@JonAdamsTech Me too. It's crying out for an upgrade
A friend of mine just sent me this video and I was amazed with your consciousness and also your ability to communicate. It came out as a surprise for me seeing that you just started making yt content. Keep going!
Dang that’s super kind of you to say, I appreciate it!
Just discovered your channel - no time wasting, great content, fantastic production quality. Subscribed!
Awe shucks, I appreciate it!!
Bought the iPad Mini a couple of years ago, and had no need for the Pro. Actually could afford the Mini unlike the Pro. Read books, watch shows, use it to track my life total for MTG, and so many more things.
Nice! Do you think you’ll upgrade to the 7 when it comes out?
I love my mini as a tablet and my Air with the Magic Keyboard as my “MacBook “
Nice! Do you find iPadOS to be clunky at all?
6:15 you’ve literally answered my long unanswered question! I was always on the fence about iPad being a laptop replacement, but here you made me realise that it’s exactly that I don’t want something that’s trying to be an iPad and a laptop, I think that an iPad mini and a MacBook Air would be far better than one iPad Pro. Great quality vid as always 👍, thanks for unintentionally answering my question 😂
Haha well glad it was helpful! Do you already have the mini and the Air or is that something you're shooting for?
@@JonAdamsTech not yet but definitely something I’m hoping for, atm I’m on the iPad Air 4 w/ Magic Keyboard and pencil. It’s super great for what I use it for, the only thing is I don’t think that the rest of the industry is leaning into the whole iPad as laptops, it’s great for RUclips and basic work but stuff like making documents and general app support for professional work ain’t great (*cough* Microsoft word *cough*). But thinking about an iPad mini + MacBook Air just makes sense. The mini is great (had gen 2 loved it) for general stuff plus some animating, and MacBook is great for work plus the m2 is down to £999!
*plus the MacBook can work with displays
You may have answered this before, but what type of work do you do? and yes that sounds like the perfect setup having the mini and the MBA
@@JonAdamsTech at the moment I’m mostly doing graphic design and photo editing, as well as some 4k 24 video editing
I’ve had 7th Gen iPad, iPad Air 4, and current iPad Pro 12.9. I can honestly say. My next setup will be iPad mini and probably MacBook Air M4. After 5ish years of using my iPads as “laptop replacements” I agree with you. I don’t need a combo device because honestly even the iPad Pro sucks at doing that. But the combo of both would be great
Yeah that’s a great combo! How did you like the iPad Air? Thats the one iPad I haven’t really paid much attention to
I love my iPad mini 6. It’s a great consumption device. I also use to take notes in lectures paired with Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it becomes discrete note taking device.
That’s awesome! Do you use a mouse with it or just stick with touch screen?
@@JonAdamsTech the touch screen does the job. Basically I use Pages during the lectures. Just typing no crazy stuff. When I need a doodle the pencil works fine.
That's great!
the business on ipad is in the next level. every ipad size has its own usage, currently owning a mini iphone and a largest ipad and it's so tempting to buy a "regular" size ipad just to read
I totally agree, I’m going to do a video about that exact topic as my next video. If they launch an iPad mini 7, do you think you’d get it?
I had the Ipad pro, with the pencil and keyboard. Then I bought the ipad mini and preferred it so much over the heavier ipad pro that I gave the ipad pro to my dad lol. Its so light that I can bring it with me anywhere, work, travel, bed, the kitchen. Its excellent for media consumption, reading through my emails and doing quick replies. I bought a leather notebook cover for it so its like a small diary or notebook :)
Yep, it’s amazing!! I love the idea of getting a leather case to make it a journal feel. Thanks for checking out the video!
great, cant wait for the new Mini!
Same!!
Phone & tablet size has disproportionately risen lately when they were always originally intended to be small, the iPhone mini 13 & the iPad mini 6 are the perfect combination of fully functioning lightweight powerful products in a compact portable format, expensive yes but totally unique & niche. I always buy the cellular version of ipads, yes it increases the initial purchase price but the convenience of cellular especially when travelling is worth it, so easy to pop in a prepaid data sim or activating the esim for connectivity is a bonus I don’t understand why some people limit themselves to just wifi.
Do you use the iPad mini for work? I totally agree that mini is the best form factor!
I own both a Pro and Mini. I use the Pro with a Magic Keyboard daily for work. Not a complete replacement for a laptop but verb close. I bought the Mini for its portability and for note taking. I like it but use it less than I thought I would. Fun review to watch.
Hey thanks for checking out the video. I think that’s the thing I love about the iPad line up most, everyone can find the iPad that works best for their workflow and lifestyle.
You're a great youtuber sir, I really appreciate the effort you put into this 👏🏽💯
Dang I really appreciate it! Thanks for checking out the video!
I bought the 12.9 pro and invested in keyboard cases and the Apple Pencil. After I bought the mini for its mobility I found myself using the pro even less. Just sold my pro and all the cases. It was just collecting dust at this point.
Yeah I have that same issue. It’s just so much more inviting to pick up the mini!
I too invested in Magic Keyboard, Pencil and 11” pro and MBP 13” and after buying a Mini 6 256GB on launch day in Australia for AU$1,000 and love it, use it way more than the pro, and if I had to choose one; then mini it is. Pity there is not a decent keyboard and I doubt Apple will ever bring out a magic keyboard for iPad mini…. they should as all aftermarket keyboards are rubbish….
As you grow older you long for devices that are lighter and small enough to hold. The iPad Mini fits these needs - not on its power.
For sure, I’m going to do a follow up video hopefully tomorrow for those who are looking for a bit more power. Thanks for your thoughts!
I have the iPad mini 6 and use it daily. I love it. The only downsides I see are the lack of ProMotion (I'm used to it on my iPhone 15 Pro) and sometimes I find the screen a little bit small for drawing or making mind maps.
For sure, I really hope that they update it in this rumored update at the end of the month!
My first iPad was an iPad Pro 12.9 inch. I got an iPad Pro 11 inch last Christmas because the iPad Pro 12 inch was just too expensive. The 11 inch works great for me (as an artist), being large enough for drawing and also more portable than the 12.9 inch.
Yeah for sure, I’m actually planning a follow up video on who the larger iPad would be better for, I love that there’s an iPad that suits everyone’s workflow!
I still have an iPad Pro 11 inch after having the iPad mini. I miss that form factor so damn much. 😊
I found I could bring it EVERYWHERE. It’s like how photographers describe cameras. “The best camera is the one you have with you.”
I wish I could get a refreshed iPad mini.I’d buy one in a heartbeat.
That’s a perfect comparison! If they release the mini with promotion would you sell your current iPad Pro?
@@JonAdamsTech I’d be first in line, mate. 😅
Nice!
I have an iPad Pro M2 256GB and an iPad mini 6 2565GB and love them both. Apple makes the most incredible tablets. The display on each one is just beautiful. I'm waiting to see what the M3 iPad Pro OLED offers but for now....I'm very happy with what I already have.
That’s awesome man, glad to hear it! Do you primarily work from an iPad or do you also have a computer?
I had iPad mini 5 a few years ago, then tried the second hand iPad pro 12.9 2017 for 1-2 years, and now trying the 10.5 iPad Pro for several months, me personally like the size of 11 inch as a balance of weight and screen size, I do mind map, and like to read large page, so I prefer the 11 inch size a bit more, but the mini is really a good weight, and really handhold-able.
I might be a bit strange, I want the next iPad to have a delicate 3.5mm headphone jack for my Sennheiser HD25 headphone.
Makes sense, mind mapping takes up a ton of room and those headphones sound amazing. Thanks for checking out the video!
I use to upgrade my phones every year and wouldn’t keep an iPad as I always found it unwieldy. I never liked the mini 5 because at the time (2020), everything had the new design. The mini 6 came out and I’ve had mine since 2021. Every time I think about getting a pro or air, I can’t do it. The mini is perfect companion for my MacBook Air, and travel!
Heck ya, that’s a solid set up! Which MacBook Air do you have?
@@JonAdamsTech MacBook Air m2! I would still be rocking a m1 but a trade in offer came along in 2022 where I could get the same spec but in m2 for only $150 difference so I couldn’t pass it up!
I’ve found that the IPad Air 5 is the best device. I went from a 12.9 to this a year ago and I love it. It feels good in my hands and light and easy to carry around and then when I want to get series work down I can plug it into a monitor and get work done. I work 90% of the time from a iPad.
Dang that’s awesome! If they announce a new one on June 10th, do you think you’ll upgrade?
@@JonAdamsTech Not sure….aside from the possibility of moving the camera to the center there isn’t anything I do that this device lags in.
@@drdentrepair5530 Yeah, it would be nice to get that pro motion display also tho
you just earned a subscriber i loved this video, thanks. :)
Hey I appreciate it!
As a musician working in a live band and frequently recording our live gigs i couldn’t work with anything smaller than ipad pro 12.9. In fact i cant wait for a larger version to appear on the market particularly as logic pro for ipad is now my go to DAW application. For media consumption i keep to my affordable android tablets. If Apple produced a foldable screen ipad mini that opened up into a large format that would be ideal but imagine what outrageous price they would charge for that. Dream on.
That’s awesome! I’m a worship pastor so I use the iPad Pro every week for that. What instrument do you play? And yes that would be so expensive but I’d gladly pay it if it makes my job easier!
Love my iPad mini 6 256 cellular. It is the sharpest of the iPad line with a 324 ppi vs 264 for the pro and air. Side by side text is sharper than the larger iPads.
Do you think you’ll upgrade to the 7 when it comes out?
I had the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 but got rid of it because whenever I dozed off, it would hit me..either in the chest or face…and it would hurt. I love my iPad mini 6.
Hahah I’ve definitely had that happen
Just got a 1 week as new mini 6 last week for 280$ purple 64g….couldn’t be happier .
I read books too and it’s just perfect
Nice, glad you like it! That’s a solid price too!
The only thing I don’t like is the lcd display.. been used to oled on iPhone for so long now.. for the rest I totally agree with your statement.
That’s one of the main upgrades I hope they do to the new one. Reading at night with an oled display is amazing
I love the Ipad mini. I got it when it came out and I still love it till this day. Now mind you I only have the WIFi version but I plan on getting the cellular version one day. But it is the best.
Heck ya it is! I’ve only ever used the WiFi version but that’s good enough for me!
I sold my basic iPad Mini 2 days before the presentation, hoping for an upgrade. Since we haven’t heard anything about Mini 7 yet, I now want to take it in its maximum configuration.
I have a Suface Pro 9 x 13" and it is NOT a tablet. It is big, heavy, and inconvenient. You need to carry a backpack for it all the time. I really miss the Mini
Dang that’s such a bummer! Sorry to hear that. You may want to wait for wwdc in June though just to see if they announce something there. If they don’t the mini still feels great!
@@JonAdamsTech Yes, I'm waiting for the WWDC presentation in hopes of good news. I use the iPad Mini for school, work and games, so 64 GB is not enough for me, but the form factor itself is wonderful. Thanks for the answer. We are waiting for news.
I prefer the pro for the screen as I mainly use for content consumption and watching movies on a plane. The iPad mini was too small. I have the iPhone pro max so I found myself picking that up when I wanted a smaller device
Nice! Glad you found what works for you!
Just bought an iPad mini 6 and it compliments my MacBook M3 Pro so nicely!
Nice! It is a perfect companion for that! What color MacBook Pro did you go with?
@@JonAdamsTech space black brother! Awesome vid btw! I bought the mini because of your video!!!
Best decision to get one used. Does everything I need and some gaming. Videos are great and I honestly don’t really notice the 60hz screen. Only gripe is the space. It needs to be a minimum 128 gbs. 256 was too expensive. 128 you’ll have most popular apps and a healthy gaming collection downloaded.
Totally agree! Glad you’re liking it! Do you think you’ll upgrade when the 7 comes out?
@@JonAdamsTech yeah for sure
You are probably correct, only thing I advise is 64GB is too small mine ran out of space 3 years ago and I only use it now to browse
Good call!
I always err on the side of more memory to get more years out of my iPhones and iPads. My 2018 iPad Pro 12.9” has 512GB and I have used only about 256GB so far. I usually use a Kindle to read books but I miss the ability to see colors on maps and charts. I’ve been thinking about an iPad Mini for a more convenient size and to see colors and I would probably buy one with 128GB if it had a Pro Motion display.
@@JBass33 Do it! They will hopefully put that in the next launch
I bought my iPad mini 6 and with Cellular connectivity at launch date, and it's a great travel companion, and nowadays MS works closely with Apple, so the MS Office 365 package works seamlessly with the iPads 👍
That’s awesome! Is it good enough for your workflow of do you think you’ll upgrade to the 7 when it’s announced?
Very good question, let's await the specs when or if it will come, nevertheless I still can manage most of my tasks on the go, however, working with details in Excel its a bit cumbersome, but pre-loaded PowerBI reports are straight on, in addition all other apps from MS are spot-on @@JonAdamsTech 👍
I was literally about to pull the trigger on an M1 iPad Air (WiFi) but towards the end of your video you brought up one very important point, the iPad mini is not trying to be something it’s not.
I already have an M1 MacBook Air, I literally have it next to my tv and use it to watch RUclips, THATS IT! Like wth did I even get it? With that said, I’m not looking for a laptop replacement but rather something I can take to work because whenever I get sent to school for continuous learning, one of the requirements is having an iPad because the classes are conducted using them.
So I’m in a place where I want an iPad, but I don’t want to only think about the rare times I will get sent off to school, I also want to think about how I will use it when I’m not in school. So of course I think about what I use my phone for nowadays and base it off that.
I like to do a lot of typing, I build custom keyboards as a hobby, yes thats a thing. So I’ve literally been connecting my keyboards to my phone and typing away when I’m not at home. Weird I know, but a lot of fun if you’re into the same hobby.
I find myself saying “if only my phone was a little bigger I can see the text perfectly”. So I’m now leaning towards the iPad mini. Maybe with cellular, or I can simply use my phones hotspot and save myself the bigger bill from adding the extra line.
Anyways, mini it is 😊
First off I absolutely love keyboards so I totally get the hobby! Secondly, I think you’d be super happy with the mini if you already have the m1 MBA, that thing still feels snappy when doing normal tasks. Do you think you’ll wait till the June event to see if they launch new iPads or just go for the current mini?
Honestly, given that my job is sending me off to school in less than 1 month, I’m going to go for the current Mini.
I’m just a bit put off by the price tag for a brand new one, so I opted for a Renewed one through Amazon. Got the Wifi with cellular, 256gb, a case and a 2gen Apple pen, all for $582. Hopefully there’s nothing wrong with it, then again Amazon is very good at returns should I find it’s not working as it should.
Since this little guy will be my introduction into the iPad world I figured if I fall in love with the thing then perhaps I’ll consider the newest Mini in the near future lol.
Again, thanks for your video on the Mini, it really sold me on it 🙏😁
As per Apple's official words, the iPad mini is the most-loved iPad. It's just a shame that the last time it had feature parity and had annual upgrades was about 10 years ago. I also agree with the fact that the mini doesn't try to be a laptop replacement, hence what makes it much more enjoyable to use.
100%! Do you have an iPad mini 6?
I have the M2 iPad Pro, the mini and just purchased a M2 MacBook Air. planning on selling my iPad Pro. It's just too heavy with a keyboard case on it and I don't need two iPads. very happy with my choices in devices! love my mini
I love it! That is a great combo! What color MacBook Air did you go with?
@@JonAdamsTech I started with the midnight m3 but returned and it decided to get the starlight M2. The midnight color is still a fingerprint magnet and it scuffs very easily. I used it for an hour and had my Apple Watch on with a leather band and somehow it scuffed off some color at the edge on the left side. Was not happy with it. Decided I didn't ned the M3 since I don't do photo editing or graphic intensive apps. M2 was a great choice getting it refurbished!
@@lissa2679 Yeah, the M2 is also now at such a great price and such a small difference in performance between the two. Good choice!
@@JonAdamsTech Awful choice!! I got the refurbished one today and right out of the box it is not working right! Every time I put it in standby mode or close the lid and reopen it, the laptop completely freezes! Spent hours talking to Apple and reinstalled the OS and the problem still persisted. It's getting returned and I am staying with the M3!
@@lissa2679 That's crazy! You're literally the first person I've ever heard have a problem with a refurbished apple product, terrible luck! Hopefully the M3 works great for you!
nice thoughts
Thanks!
Pretty much sums up the my thoughts. The Mini is a much more practical option for a little extra screen space for daily use without needing to acquire new habits to make it work. You use like you’d use your phone and still get the additional screen space.
Heck ya! Do you also use a Mac as your main computer?
@@JonAdamsTech windows laptop for work, MacBook Pro for personal (-.
Nice!
would you recommend it if I get the apple pencil and magic keyboard or the portfolio keyboard?
I love using the iPad mini with the Apple Pencil but you need to go pro to get that keyboard.
@@JonAdamsTech ok thank you so much!!
I got rid of my iPad mini 5 and purchased an 11" M2 iPad pro last year. I regret it. If I wasn't going to take a sizeable loss on my purchase I'd sell it and get another mini. Really wish the iPad Mini 7 was closer to release date. I'm going to get that when it comes out. Totally miss the handling and using it for a reading device.
I feel you, I hate when I make those mistakes. Have you checked how much you can sell your iPad Pro for though? Those still should be selling for pretty solid money.
agreed
It's a VERY hard decision. I bought the mini 6 on release and use it daily 2 years later. It's a truly wonderful device, minus the terrible display.
Just bought the new M4 iPad Pro 11" and I am sitting here going back and forth and I literally cannot decide if I want to return the new pro. The new pro is as basically as light as the mini and thinner than the mini but it's still quite large in the hands. The lighter weight does make it much more portable now, but it's still not a mini you can literally just throw around.
I was REALLY hoping a new mini 7 was going to be announced last week but it's looking like a fall release along with the iPhone 16 and will have a miniLED display. The mini has always been the step -child device that Apple largely ignores. I would LOVE a pro level mini with an 120hz OLED display and 512gb of storage but it's too niche of a product and it's not going to happen.
I want a pro mini so freaking bad!! I think you should return the 11 since you already daily the mini then upgrade when the mini 7 comes out hopefully in June!
You are going to get ipad mini pro just by 2027 when apple release it's first foldable iphone, i think it will be hybrid iphone and ipad mini lol 😜@@JonAdamsTech
Had the mini 6 but swopped after a week for the M1 Pro, have no regrets.
Nice, glad you like it! I really enjoy both devices so I’m going to do a follow up video on why the iPad Pro may be better for some folks than the iPad mini. Thanks for checking out the video!
Currently using the 5th Gen Mini, and waiting for the 7th before I upgrade.
Looking forward to losing the Touch ID (which I never liked), and gaining USB-C, plus whatever else Apple decides to 'give' us.
It'll probably be overly expensive for its form factor but - having just upgraded to an iPhone 13 Mini - it's the size that meets my needs. Anything bigger might end up unused in a drawer.
Thanks for the content.
Yeah I really hope they give it some good upgrades because it’s such a solid device! Also glad you’re digging the mini phone, but man I wish they kept it around
@@JonAdamsTech Obviouslg not available new in the real or virtual Apple Store, but it’s still available via the Amazon one - as long as you like pink.
Bring back the Mini!
Bring back the mini!
Ive got the ipad pro m2, and it’s great! But it just has some limitations as a laptop. Now realizing i could have gotten a macbook air + and ipad mini for the same price, i would say that is definitely the better option…
Yeah I agree. Don’t be too disappointed in your purchase though, the m2 iPad pro will last a really long time and is a great device!
I was trying to do the same thing! I ended up selling my iPad pro with Magic Keyboard and getting this exact set up. Love it so much, no regrets 😊
New one coming tomorrow
I hope!!
Returned me m4 pro to stick with my mini 6th gen. I'm holding out for the mini 7
Man I stinking hope so!!
just pick up the mini a few days ago
Nice! what do you think of it so far?
@@JonAdamsTech it’s pretty handy really compact. Use it to control my Sony Zv E10 as a external monitor.
I love using an iPad for that, I suck with framing so it’s so helpful. I’ve used the atamos ninja v for that before but an iPad is only a few hundred dollars more and it’s so much bigger. Thanks for checking out the video!
I’d just love an iPad mini OLED. I get why they didn’t go OLED in the bigger screens, but in a mini it would work great. I just bought a Lenovo Tab 9 for $100 which works great for what I want. A15 obviously crushes it in performance, but reading books and watching Netflix is just about all I use
Is that Lenovo Tab 9 oled? A while back I had a thinkpad and loved that thing
@@JonAdamsTech no ips, and pretty low res 1300x800 or something like that. But perfectly acceptable for 100 imo
Nice!
totally, I got the iPad Pro for work and there was so much friction with real-world work that I decided to just stick to a laptop
Yep! That OS is holding the iPad back sooooo much!
Does the iPad mini have text to speech for books?
I’m not sure anymore, I know back around 2015 or so you could swipe down with two fingers on an iPad and it would do text to speech on anything but then they killed that off, not sure if they ever brought it back or not.
I need the real estate for procreate (and the apple pencil) or watching films in the best resolution
That makes sense. Do you use the pro?
I love the mini just wish it had a 1tb option. I’m going iPad only so I’m using the same setup iPad Pro iPad mini on the go
Nice! What do you do for work? Does that all iPad mini workflow work for you with your occupation?
@@JonAdamsTech Photography. Yes I love the mini. I think people fail to realize the mini is pro it’s just not hyped up to be. I would prefer more on board storage but, with the use of SSD’s storage is unlimited. Other than that it does exactly what I need it to do. The camera app from canon is great. When I’m in a session or photographing a wedding I’m wirelessly transporting images to the iPad at the same time. Instead of the pro being in a bag somewhere in the building the mini is in my pocket. When it’s time for dinner at the wedding I edit the couples samples right then and there they have 4-5 samples before their wedding is even finished. When the nights over and they look at their phones they’re always like wow thank you and with cell service you can’t beat it.
That’s dope! I do wedding videography on the side but I’m horrible and take forever to get the client their video haha
@@JonAdamsTech That’s what’s up! Take your time bruh it shows the client you aren’t doing some halfway rush job
@@fashopimpin haha for sure
Best iPad out of the three is iPad Pro 11 inch. Just won’t get the use case out of the Mini compared to iPhone pro max. Ipad 12.9 is king as its use case is perfect for everything. So the sweet spot is 2022 lineup iPhone pro for all networking needs. Mini for travel, iPad Pro M1 11inch for home, MacBook M1 Air for work 💪🏾. Watch, AirPods Pro’s and your at full house 💯
That’s a great ecosystem! Do you currently have a MacBook Air or are you doing most of your work from the 12.9 ipad? Thanks for checking out the video, I’m going to be doing another one of 5 ways the iPad Pro is better so make sure to sub!
You are absolutely right.
I currently have the iPad Mini 6 (5G) and I love it, but sometimes I do wish I had the bigger iPad when I am watching Netflix or Amazon 😆
I just end up watching those things on my tv. Do you think you'll upgrade to the ipad mini 7 if it gets announced next month?
@@JonAdamsTech Nah. Happy with current one.
Nice!
Jon Adams Tech, I liked this video because it's awesome!
Haha I appreciate it!
Mini is winner!
100%!
Once they get m2 on iPad mini and oled ill definitely change my iPad Pro
Heeeeeck ya, not sure they’ll do that but I’d be totally down for it
Still waiting for iPad mini with 1TB or 2TB. Hopefully they’ll make iPad Pro mini too in the future.
Man I really wish but I wonder after todays announcement if they’ll just kill off the mini line, which is a total bummer
I already have a smartphone and don't need another tiny screen device. If you already own an android or iPhone the larger iPad at least gives you the improved functionality of a larger screen. If you cant lift a letter-sized ipad, time to hit the weights.
lol I’ve done powerlifting for years and it’s still too heavy for me!
I’m leaning that way, as well. I have a Plus size iPhone, so not gaining much screen space with an iPad mini. So I’m torn about buying my first iPad.
I think Mini is best for most people. For me it is the 11inch as I've gone down the small phone form factor (iPhone 13 Mini) so appreciate a slightly larger iPad for editing photos and consumption and my phone is basically a phone and camera.
I hope for those that are fans of the iPad Mini - Apple doesn't do them dirty like they did with fans of the iPhone Mini as I do not think another iPhone Mini will be made again
I know man, what a freaking bummer that would be if they get rid of it! I loved the 13 mini. Do you have a computer or are you primarily an iPad user for your work?
@@JonAdamsTech Thank you. I live in both worlds (Windows and Mac) as I am not creative.
So after having a bad experience with my 2017 MBP I went to iPad plus a Windows work machine (Surface Pro 9). Gets the job done. I prefer a tablet Apple device for my emails and low level photo edits plus learning.... It's a very valuable tool in (M1 iPad) just if you are a numbers geek you need that Microsoft version of desktop Excel. If I had endless money I'd probably have a macbook air, iPad and a cheap windows computer.
Great channel and content!
@@RemofRenaissance For sure, what do you think of the Surface Pro line? I've really been wanting to check those out, they look sick!
@@JonAdamsTech I actually think they're pretty decent. I had one through my workplace (a SP6) and was so impressed that I picked up a SP9. For office work I think it's great. I have no regrets. Where it will fall short for most is that it is underpowered for anything that is not office work and even then battery won't go far beyond 6 hours and that's if you are already keeping all resource use low (low screen brightness, no videos playing in the background, not many browser tabs).
I think it needs a processor on par to the Apple M series to fufill it's potential. Other than that it's a great machine and I would buy again.
Yeah im not sure if they are on ARM yet but every windows laptop on ARM has sucked so as soon as windows can figure out how to get off of x86 and really dial in their use of ARM processors they will get a lot closer to what apple has done with the M1 processor. But as usual, windows isn't concerned with optimization, they just want to brute force their way through processing with legacy code.
how about ipad mini vs ipad air?
That’s another great matchup! I’ll definitely do that in the future
MINI 6 all the way!
Heck ya!!!
11 inch Ipad the best size balance
Glad you dig it!
Please don’t roast me chat. I’m
An amateur landscape photographer (passion project) and accidentally bought a single device Lightroom subscription on my iPad mini 6 so that’s what I use to edit all my pics. Thing fits inside the camera bag that was included too along with a usb-c dongle, I’ve edited shots in a restaurant in Moab before. Perfect portable solution so I can leave my MBA at home.
You shall not be roasted here! I love it, glad you found a good use for the iPad mini, do you think you’ll upgrade to the 7 when it comes out?
@@JonAdamsTech I’d have to see what kind of upgrades it gets, I picked my mini up last summer so to me it’s still under a year old to me. I’d lean no if it’s just a chip upgrade, mine is handling everything I need it to right now. The mini replaced a iPad gen 6 for me, I’ll use these for a while!
@@jamesl9272 Yeah if it's not a significant jump with all the other upgrades I'll be disapointed for sure
IPAD MINI OLED IS WHAT WE WANT TIM 😉
Haha yep he completely failed us yesterday
If jelly scroll wasn't so noticeable in portrait orientation I would love this device.
Do you have one? I don’t notice it at all but that could just be me.
@@JonAdamsTech I did have one but returned it for this issue. Hopefully they will move the screen controller back to the top rather the side on the ipad mini 7 like ipad mini 5.
@@zorba4413 wwdc is in June so we will see!
What is jelly scroll?
@@Antisympathy It's when you put sugary jam on an old roll of paper
iPad Pro(12.9 inch at the moment) is the best laptop replacement for me atm ... still a bit portable but: I need basic multimedia usage and still a bigger screen size so it is the best for me. Mini is too compromised with so small screen size.
PS: just my case of course ... because ... win11 which I have on my MSI laptop atm. ... is sh*tware ...
Haha yeah I liked windows 10 so much better! If you’re going to use the iPad as a laptop replacement, that I think you definitely made the right decision! Have you ever considered buying a MacBook?
I have the iPad Air 3rd gen and like it but hope I the make iPad mini 7 with the pro cameras and a better screen and that would be the iPad for me. I use to have the iPad 5th gen regular and loved it but only had 32gb which used to be enough back in the day 😂😂😂. The iPad Pro looks to big sense the air 3 is not as comfortable as my 5th gen was but My dad has a mini and it looks nice. I also like to record videos with iPads because I find it easier to look at and stabilize more then a phone but the air is to big for me. Praying that the mini will get a major upgrade and better cameras but apple has been a downhill sense Steve Jobs died imo
Isn’t that crazy that 32 gb was good enough! Man the times have changed haha
@@JonAdamsTech yeah 😂
It’s wild
👀 I spy the New City Catechism and Logos Apps! Let’s go! 🔥
Yeaaaaaahhhhhh dude! I love them! I’m a pastor at a church in Orlando so I use them a lot for personal growth and helping our church grow spiritually
Which Pro are you comparing here?
M2 11 inch. It wasn’t about performance, more about size. I’m going to do a follow up video about performance.
@@JonAdamsTechThanks, I could not quite tell from looking at them. We have two mins at our home
Nice, they minis are great!
I have had an ipad since the ipad 2. I can say after having an air 2 to a mini 5 to 6. The improvements really staggered with the OS. It truly does not matter which Ipad you pick. They have been on sale for $100 off each model almost every week so far this year.
Only the tech has improved. My mini 6 better display, cameras, speakers, processor. IPAD OS feels the same. They need to update Ipad OS to make it more useable. Its 90% IOS & 10% mac os.
The ipads have felt the same since file manager was introduced. If they don’t have an Ipad Os overhaul update to make it more of a competitor to laptops, I don’t see the point anymore. You dont have full app support. You don’t have full browser support. You dont have a real file management system. Its truly a confused OS device. Getting IOS features a year later. Then getting random features.
Oh man I know it, I HATE file management in iPadOS, it’s the worst. Hopefully they keep working on it to make it less clunky
@@JonAdamsTechif it wasnt for Icloud it would be an useable to device for me 😂
If they could give ProMotion and the quad speaker system from the Pro to the Mini, it’d be the ultimate consumption device! But alas we know that would never happen. Also it’ll be hella expensive.
Yeah it will definitely be more expensive but I’d be happy to pay for an iPad mini pro!
I’ve had several iPads in different sizes but my last 3 have been minis. They are the best and Apple needs to make them the cheapest new iPads. Why does the bigger iPad cost less than the smaller iPad mini - makes no sense.
Ha ha I know! If they don’t come out with a mini at WWDC, I’ll be so disappointed
But when it comes to using procreate and wanting a large canvas size, the iPad Pro takes the cake.
That’s definitely true. Procreate rules
I’d say skip the iPad mini 6 *unless it’s significantly discounted. 4gb of ram will be its achilles heel in future OS updates.
Could be. Haven’t felt that yet but could happen in the future
Want apple to build ipad mini pro 9” with slim bezel
Wouldn’t that be the iPad Air?
@@JonAdamsTech no, thats 11” with bigger bezel, I’m talking same size as ipad mini 6 but with 9” 120hz display & face id with slimmer bezels
Why does the iPad mini 6 get so much love from so many RUclipsrs lately. It’s kind of “old”. So what’s the matter? Why now and not couple of years ago? In Europe the iPad mini still is very expensive… so price is not an argument over here… still want one .. 😂
Not sure, I didn’t have a channel a few years ago, but I definitely loved the iPad mini back then haha
I prefer my iPad Pro, but then again I’m a digital artist!
For sure, and geez is it great for that workflow! Thanks for checking out the video!
I got the ipad m1 pro 128gb wifi+cellular for 566 dollars in india. I am so happy with my purchase
That’s awesome! I’m happy for you, it’s a solid iPad!
@@JonAdamsTech Btw i have a question since i can't find apple smart folio of apple for ipad pro m1 can i use smart folio of ipadpro m4 11inch with it?will it work?
I’m not sure but I doubt it. They tend to make things so you have to upgrade. Do you have an Apple Store near you to test that out?
@@JonAdamsTech no official store is about1.6 thousand km away in mumbai :(
Bummer, well I doubt it would work anyway
Just want to say 500 dollars for an 8 inch tab is not cheap
Totally true, it’s a crazy world we’re living in
I have an iPad mini 2 😅 need an upgrade
Hahah yeah that’s a super old iPad! But how awesome is it that they last that long! Do you think you’ll upgrade to the 7 when it comes out?
Where can I find a legit apple refurbish store?
The Apple website has a fantastic one
I hate I can't use apple at the store w/ it. Only online.
Yeah that’s ridiculous
ooo clash of clans player! :D mini seems actually great choice !
Yeah dude! Been playing since the beginning!
@@JonAdamsTech sweet! then it means multiple account juggler like me :D
@@adnanurrahmanfaisal haha I don't have time for that!
Crushes? 😂😂😂
OBLITERATES!
IPP 13 inch any day!
What do you do for work? I know a lot of artists like that iPad but man I find it just too big. Glad you dig it though!
2:10 Imagine if this guy sees the prices in Brazil 😅an apple device costs almost (if not more) than a car
I live in orlando florida and have a ton of friends who have worked in the Apple Store at the melennia mall, Brazilians go in there and order like 20 things at a time for this very reason, it’s wild!
i am a student and an Ipad mini would be of great help.. but really cant afford one :(
Well wait till June, once the mini 7 comes out there will be some great deals on the mini 6!
@@JonAdamsTech But isn’t June’s event WWDC, meaning it’s software releases? That’s what the folks down at the Apple Store pointed out
there will be no mini 7, directly go to mini pro in next release
I’d be in for that!!
Watchin on mini 6th gen😅
Siiiiick!
The kindle is horrible. The OS is so clunky. iPad minis for my daughters. Amazon sell big chunky cases and the devices even get stepped on with no damage.
I totally agree that it’s clunky but I still like reading on the E-ink display.
@@JonAdamsTech ah my bad I thought you mean the Amazon fire tablets for kids. They are shocking
No face id unlock is a bad one for me
You do like it or you don’t?
Another mkbhd god damn
Dang you serious?! I’ll take that haha
