- The sixth generation iPad mini is the ultimate iPad for watching movies and TV shows, reading ebooks, surfing the web and playing games! It’s nice and portable, which adds in many benefits in comparison to larger iPads. Check out this video where I go over why the iPad mini 6 is worth buying in 2023!

![iPad Mini 6 is the BEST iPad [5 Reasons why]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9hTgoZ1gjqU/mqdefault.jpg)
I got one a month ago, instead of a pro, exactly to use it as you describe in the video, as a tablet not as a laptop replacement. It is light, easy to hold, portable, not take a large space if you sit in a restaurant, or a coffee shop. It you not a pro user, this is all you need as a tablet.
Couldn't agree more, especially when combined with Airpods Pro 2
I am in full agreement. I got the updated iPad Mini when it was released this year and it functions impeccably! Its size is perfect for carrying in a bag, pocket of a blazer, or jacket and it is so lightweight. I have the 5G chip and I use it with Google Fi's free data only SIM cards when I am travelling. It is more flexible than an e-reader, yet more convenient than a bigger iPad or laptop.
Definitely a fantastic note taking device
I also own the iPad mini 6 and the 12.9 M1 and I use them the same as mentioned by the author. I end up spending the majority of my time on the mini 6 though. I carry it with me whenever practical and it’s perfect for around my tiny apartment
By far the best iPad mini video I’ve seen so far 💯
I picked a second hand iPad Mini 6 (Cellular+Wifi) for $430 few months back and I think it was the best iPad I could have ever purchased!! Hands down the best! Before this I was using the M1 iPad Pro 11", honestly having a MacBook Air M1, the 11 inch iPads are just a waste unless you have specific use cases with these screen sizes (11 & 12.9 inch iPads). I honestly feel the Mini 6 does everything perfectly well for what a tablet should do...its the best way for me to disconnect from my phone and focus on only the minimal apps i want to use on a large screen
Nice video Faiz ❤
Yep. I’m a huge iPad Pro Stan. I bring my laptop and my iPad mini and I’m good. I have everything I need
fully agree. I swapped my iPad Pro 2018 for the iPad Mini, because the 12.9 was too heavy to take anywhere I go.
Great review. I had the 11 iPad Pro M1 and then later 12.9 iPad Pro M1 both fantastic devices but at the end of the day the Mini 6 is perfect for me. I find myself using it way more then I did the other devices and a big reason is just how easy it is to pickup and use.
Owne and love my ipad mini 6 :) 90% of my iPad usage is media consumption. Its perfect for that
Been fun to watch how your channel has improved. Great info, super perspective, excellent production quality. Keep going, my friend!
That genuinely means a lot to me, Mike! Stay tuned for new videos!
I got one 2 days ago to replace my 11 inch pro and WOW!!!!! Perfect size u can actually type on it!!
Agreed!
I love my iPad mini6! ❤
Thank you! Very helpful 😊
Glad it was helpful! Be sure to subscribe 🙌🏼
I’m a simple person. I hear a synth intro and press like.
My favourite iPad to use
Returned my Mini 6 for an 11 inch iPad Pro
Best decision ever
I bought an iPad Mini Cellular 8 years ago. I did not like it for browsing - I use my 14" laptop for that and an Apple TV for viewing.
So - after 8 years of having it lying around I use my Mini almost exclusively when I "travel" for the following - in order of most used:
#1- as a GPS unit in a vehicle - the best GPS ever (70%)
#2 - as a Sidecar or mirror screen to view video paired with a M2 MBA (25%)
#3 - as an eReader (4%)
#4 - the odd miscellaneous task (1%)
After these years, that's about all I have used the mini for (I don't game) Otherwise it sits in a drawer.
Since it is on it's last leg - I will likely buy the new Mini 7 when it comes out later this year.
Personally, I believe that the iPad Pro 11 Inch is the best of both worlds. It’s not too big, and not too small, has decent battery life, and does everything I need it to do.
Personally, I think the 11" falls nicely between the Mini and 12.9" and handles all the tasks mentioned perfectly. Then again, I'm a big guy (6'3") so I can probably handle the 11" better than someone with small hands.
I agree
For me it’s the sweet spot and I’m not even a big dude
I love my iPad mini 6. I use it every day. I also have an iPad Pro 11 inch but I don’t use that as often. It’s always attached to the Magic Keyboard and I use it more like a laptop replacement, although I do have a MacBook. I’ve had the iPad mini since it launched. At first I did think that I wanted it to have Face ID. However now that I’ve used it for more than a year I’ve gotten so used to touch ID that I often the power button on my iPad Pro and sit there for a few seconds wondering why it isnt’t unlocking before remembering that its Face ID and I need to swipe up.😂 So I wouldn’t mind if the next iteration kept Touch ID. I think it’s quite perfect as it is.
I’ve always been a fan of the mini. I’ve had every generation and the first gen mini was my first ipad. The mini 6 is my favourite out of every generation of mini.
It’s definitely a fantastic device that I think isn’t given as much attention as it deserves!
Even slimmer bezels would be so nice!
Just got one! It is a dream! My ipad 6 budget went kaput. Have had 3 other mini ipads! They hold value and just work! Audio is fab!!!
Glad you love it as much as I do! Be sure to subscribe to the channel! 🙌🏼
@@FaizAly subbed!!! And loving my mini 6 now It has a screen protector!
I have an iPad 8th Gen, an iPad Pro, and a MacBook Pro. I recently got the iPad mini 6 with a keyboard case without a touch pad and I just might leave my other devices at work or home from now on. This is the best companion to my iPhone on the go and probably all the time from now on.
Glad you love it as much as I do, Khairy! Be sure to subscribe for more iPad videos! 🙌🏼
I got the iPad Pro 11 inch 2nd gen at launch day and I have switch over to mini 6 one week ago because I am not a pro user and I prefer the small iPad to carry around.
I’ve owned it for a year. I use it for Anki and content consumption. It’s the perfect size for those gooseneck tablet holders that you can contort in different ways and even hang off your neck. Tried with the bigger iPads, but they were too heavy for it.
Thanks for sharing! It’s a great size indeed!
I own a 4 a 5 and a 6... I am a translator of movie scripts (from Italian to English).
Yeah and so?
Well, Faiz, your review is both absolutely right and brilliant and absolutely wrong and negligent.
Of course the iPad Mini is great for content consumption (you've pushed an open door) and of course it's fine for doodling and PDF annotating with the pencil...
...but where you are negligent (as are about 100% of your reviewing colleagues) is in appreciating what a productivity beast the Mini is for long form writers (novelists, screenwriters, bloggers, translators, scholars, lawyers).
Huh?
The 8" keyboard allows for super fast thumbing and new writing software allows for faster editing than what's normal on a regular computer. For example... selection is no longer required for deletion. No more keen eye commanding pudgy thumbs to maneuver pesky mini-handles over teensy text. ALL deletions are FASTER and require less anatomy than regular computers!
So fast (tolerably fast) inputting and amazingly fast editing... and Markdown (and certain markups such as Fountain for screenplays) means that the iPad Mini is the one and ONLY instant on, work anywhere, any time, in any position (even lying in bed, or in the car, or strolling) writing / editing device with truly GREAT PRODUCTIVITY.
As you yourself suggested, all the other iPads require, by their very nature, an external keyboard (where they can then "emulate" a proper computer).
But what people don't know (also because otherwise brilliant reviewers like yourself are failing to tell them), is that it is now EMINENTLY POSSIBLE for writers to work PRODUCTIVELY on a handheld. This finally means complementarity. Computer (or make-believe computer tethered to a chair and table, AND - not VERSUS, but AND - true mobility - seamlessly exchanging files.
I would have to WeTransfer you an example of what I'm saying because you've never tried it... It's new and absolutely amazing and fantastic for writers. The learning curve is shallow... the obvious has been staring at us for decades now!
Saluti dall'Italia E Forza Napoli!
I have the mini 6
Not bad for a review. I don’t use any of my iPads as a laptop replacement because they aren’t laptops. All iPads are great for “content”; they’re Tablets.
The mini is simply an iPad in small form factor & that doesn’t make it any less powerful than the others. The size makes it great for carrying everywhere & using an iPad like it’s supposed to be used … on the go.
The Mini reminds you that iPads don’t require tables, extra keyboards, monitors, etc.
Pilots, archaeologists, medical personnel, retail, construction, renovators, business meetings, etc. We use the Mini because its iPad power in your pocket.
Each iPad has its place.
12.9 Pro is for graphic designers who need the screen and color grading. It’s competing primarily for the Cintiq users. (Ergo, dynamic pencil hover for the new M2)
Air is for college students , etc.
iPad mini 6 for the win!
Yes! Also love your channel btw 🙌🏼
@@FaizAly Thank you🙏🙏
Coming this 2023, the iPad 11th generation might boost up to A15 Bionic Chip to be the same power performance as the iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro
Great video! I also have both the 12.9 iPad Pro and the Mini, and you hit the nail on the head. When I bought the mini, the SA at the Apple Store looked at me like I was crazy, when I shared with him that I already owned the 12.9 Pro. With some tasks the Pro is just too big. 😅 Also, I love Gucci, and I’m curious as to what book is that on your coffee table? 📚
Glad you liked the video, Christopher! The book is called the ‘Gucci Making Of’ coffee table book!
Thank you, for an excellent long term review of the iPad mini 6th generation. Agree with all of your comments but, I would be saying them not for the iPad mini but, on the basic iPad models up to the 9th generation. You are correct about the “size” of the device making a big difference. Just comparing my basic iPad 6th generation (with it slightly smaller screen) verses my iPad 9th generation (with its slightly larger screen), I much prefer the size of the smaller iPad 6th generation version. Also, you were right “on point” talking about the iPad OS scale of the options on the screen. Because of this, I have keeping my iPad 6th generation on iPad OS 14 where, the scale is perfect (smile…smile).
You’re most welcome! You’re right - technically a lot of what I said could go for other iPads as well. Be sure to subscribe!
Bought the iPad mini twice and end up returning. But I end up coming back to it when I see videos on it. The portability of it just cannot be ignored. I’m currently looking into buying again from a 3rd party used. But after watching your video I realized iPad mini could be updated because this March makes it 18 months 🤔 since release. iPad mini 7 I hope for promotion and I want Face ID but if they pushed the bezels back I’d be ok with Touch ID. I would also would like the 48mp from the 14 pro
I love the iPad mini for its portability factor. Consuming content on it is also great. A new iPad mini will definitely come out this year but it’ll look the same but just better specs. It’ll be faster but don’t count on Face ID
I carry mine like an assault rifle. I have a reinforced case that’s super cool.
I just can’t get over how dark the display looks compared to my phone and iPad pro
Definitely a little darker than the iPhone and iPad Pro
Ur eyes r sick a milimeters per nits
Been using the 2018 12.9 ipad pro for years and I love it and got me through Uni. recently bought the mini 6 for work since im constantly taking down notes and scanning documents using them as reference. 2 reasons why I just returned it.
1. cant go back to 60hz refresh rate - literally feels like theres lag and like I said ive been using the 2018 ipad since its release so....idk why the mini is so far behind in screen technology
2. Apple needs an always on mode or face detect - because unlocking every time I need to make a note is less convenient than taking down notes on paper....
But I love everything else about this mini.
I agree. Those two enhancements would be fantastic !
I’m thinking about upgrading from the iPad mini 5.
You’ll love it!
Should've put a cons section in time table
It’s nice. But it needs to have the FaceTime camera on the horizontal side like the new iPad Air and it needs a better display
New iPad 10
I rather have apple pencil 2 support than a camera taking up the pencil charging spot tbh. A brighter display for outside is a welcome upgrade tho.
@@Ossescher I agree. I think that’s the reason the IPad 10 has to use the first gen pencil, because of the camera placement. A brighter screen and 120hz would definitely be nice though/
@@r.h.1738 also on the 10th gen ipad it doesnt really matter bcus the budget ipad is mostly targeted to people that don't use a pencil at all or on rare occasions
I bought brand new iPad mini 6 for USD 365 64gb...and love it☺
Great deal!
@@FaizAly ☺☺☺☺☺
I almost bought an ipad mini but when I compared it to the new Z Fold 4, there was just no comparison. To trade in my Note 20 ultra for an iphone 14 pro with 512 gb and then purchase an ipad mini with 256 and cellular was gonna cost me $2200 including the apple pencil and then a $200 trade in for my Note ultra for a total of $2000. Add a mac mini and now im at $2700. The fold 4 had 512 storage, a 120 htz screen, super fast next gen processor, and has Dex mode which also makes it a great desktop, phone, and mini tablet. I got it for $1500 on sale and then Samsung gave me $1000 for my Note 20 ultra for a total of $500 including the S pen. Obviously I take it anywhere. So now I have a top of the line phone, desktop computer using dex, and tablet for about $1500 less than the iphone/mini combo and when compared, it just runs circles around the mini. You should try it for yourself. Can you imagine getting an iphone that unfolds into an ipad mini with extremely high specs and lots of storage, and then when you plug it into a monitor, it turns into an imac or macbookusing DEX. Wouldn't that be great? That's the Z Fold 4!
Hi Pete, I’ve been very impressed with what Samsung’s been doing. I really need to find a way to get my hands on Z Fold 4. When and if I do, I will happily share my thoughts
🤣 you mentiomed a lot of things I and other vloggers will disagree...even fold users
What’s impressive, that within this decade (2023 - 2033)… foldable screens
This conversation will shift to:
Do we prefer to fold from…
8 inch screen to 11 inch screen?
Or..
8 inch screen to 14 inch screen?
This decade, we go sci-fi movie switch on lots of tech.
Interesting timeline.
What case are you rocking? That white looks nice
It’s the Apple Smart Folio in white!
I have been thinking about buying an iPad 6 Mini. Three questions: For how long do you think iPad 6 Mini will get software updates ? Also, can the cellular version of iPad 6 Mini be used as a smart phone ? Can WiFi be used with it directly (because I heard some iPads do not directly connect to the WiFi and needs an iPhone's Hotspot) ? Please be kind enough to enlighten me with your replies. Thank you in advance.
Hi Syed, I see the iPad mini getting software updates at least for the next 4+ years easily. No the cellular version cannot be used as a smartphone BUT FaceTime and iMessage will obviously work so calls and messages to and from iPhone users will work. Wifi works and you don’t need iPhone’s hotspot.
@@FaizAly Thanks for your kind reply. Did you ever use Android Tablets and do you think iPads are in 2023 way better than Android tablets ? (I am asking because I use Android tablet and if iPad is much much better I will switch to iPad 6 Mini).
I have used android tablets and can confirm that iPad is infinitely better than android tablets. Apple provides for a much better tablet experience + high quality product
Is this a good purchase even if I own a iPhone 13 pro max or should I just buy the iPad 9 or 10? I'm gonna use it for content consumption
Then I think you’ll love the new iPad 10!
Ipad mini 7 release date and features
What app do you read books on
Apple Books
Do you still use ipad mini day to day? What things to you prefer to do on the mini? ( knowing that you're an avid e-ink device owner
Yup I do. I use it to surf the web, watch RUclips videos and stream movies/shows, read books on for when I don’t have my kindle with me
Consumption hello BLACBARS 😂
well, unless you're super nearsighted with astigmatism and wearing glasses all the time gives you migraines and a smaller screen means its harder to see, making it difficult to do things you wanna do without difficulty, and that multi tasking is difficult on a smaller screen and things are more smushed. so i mean if you're like me and youre very nearsighted (i mean. if i drove, i would need them since i wouldnt be able to read signs, license plates, or anything, really.) or you have a visual disability or you're focused on multi tasking (whether its for business purposes or for creativity or for leisure) then the ipad 9, ipad 10, or the ipad air would be better. but if you aren't in the minorities listed, then youd probably only ever need a mini.
Videos like these must be sponsored by Apple for squeezing sales of the remaining unsold units. Actually, there's no need for these If there's a huge price drop when it's replacement model rolls out this year. I for one will choose the iPad Mini 6 over the new M2 or M3 2023 model that will presumably be priced higher than M2 iPad Air.
People post these videos because there’s an increase in iPad mini searches, not that apple sponsors it
Really expensive for a tiny ipad.
Get an air way better
no. it's very expensive.
Sadly, Apple removed the page turn animation in the Books app in iPadOS 16 to the obnoxious card-like animation. Don't know which moron made that decision
It was a simple yet nice touch I also miss
Many people in the world can't afford a smartphone yet these yankees have separate devices for calls, another one for RUclips, and another one for sending emails and "work", and a Macbook and a Mac
Hey bro...why talk too much....just used ipad pro 11 inch. Instead to use 2 ipads...😅😅😅
