256GB should be entry level for any iPad storage especially apps size nowadays are fairly big.
If 80% of the buyers choose 64GB, at least we can make our ‘voice’ heard to push them to set at least 128GB as the baseline.
For me personally, 64GB for either iPhone or iPad simply cannot make it.
As a reference, Diablo Immortal on iPad occupy 11GB of storage. Office365 occupy 2.5GB. Video entertainment (Netflix, Disney+, RUclips, HBO) takes up 1.5GB of storage. GoodNotes takes another 1.5GB of storage. Other apps, photos, documents, 4K video eat up storage even more.
At the very least, 256GB is on safe bet although I still enjoy my 1TB iPad 🤭
But hey, consumer will be happy even if Apple just put that 100W fast charging power adapter and USB C cable in the iPad box where it belongs. 😆
Nonsense. 128.
Although I agree, I have a 64gb from work and I haven’t had any storage issues.
64GB Doesn’t cut it anymore for Apple products
honestly, Pro version of IPad Mini is all i need. 120Hz and thinner bezel would be great. with M2 / upcoming M3 chipset 🔥
I definitely don’t regret buying the Mini 6. It is such a great option from what you describe and that taking notes in meetings. I bought the 64 gig and don’t regret it one bit. It forces me to be minimalistic on what I load onto the mini. The only time I run out of space is when I upgraded to IOS 17 beta. I had to offload some apps for more storage. I don’t see me upgrading to the Mini 7 just for more storage. Great vid, looking forward to the new announcements and future videos.
Thank you Steve!
Same!
I’m facing a dilemma right now: I founded an iPad mini with 256GB for only 470$ new but everyone tells me to wait till the next one comes out. Buy or wait? I’m only getting the 7th gen if it comes with A17 PRO, with A16 it’s not worth upgrading.
The iPad mini was my first ever iPad. I loved my mini. Tbh I even miss the old design, but the new mini 6 is just awesome to have again. I love using my iPads for school/productivity
Every time you have a video about the Mini 6 I have to jump in and gush about how much I like mine. I moved up from the Mini 5 when the Mini 6 released, and I still use it daily, and it's a great companion to my M1 MBP 14.
Haha I don't blame you, Bryan!
I like my iPad mini 5. I like the Home Screen button. And it doesn’t have the camera bump. It’s sleek.
Been exclusively using iPad Pros since 2015 but decided to downgrade from my cellular 11 inch Pro to the cellular Mini recently mostly because it became such a chore to lug around a huge iPad when travelling. It’s been amazing! Touch ID took a while to get used to but so far it’s been a blast. I haven’t missed ProMotion at all since it’s not that noticeable on a smaller screen. I take this thing everywhere. It absolutely feels liberating to just grab an iPad and go without ever thinking about the bag you’re going to use since it’s so tiny that it can fit just about any EDC bag ❤
EXACTLY
@@realrk95 pro mini would be AWESOME
I appreciate the excellence of your contributions and the tone with which you deliver your videos: not strident but quietly confident and wise.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.
I couldn’t agree more with the things you mentioned! I am now 100% sure that this is the perfect iPad for me! Hope the price will significantly drop after iPad Mini 7 launch.
Out of all my Apple devices, I keep going back to my Mini. It comes w me everywhere!! Hope the 7 comes out soon!
Fingers crossed!
A spec bump won’t be enough for me to move from my Mini 6. Features that would make me move would be the camera system of the iPad Pros, WiFi 7 or a landscape camera. 😊
This pricing strategy involves the removal of the popular 128GB storage option, pushing customers to upgrade to the next device in the lineup, typically with 256GB, which falls within the price range of the superior model.
Upselling has always been their strategy, the only thing changing is the storage 😅
I switched from my 12.9” pro to the 11” pro, because the 12.9” felt way too big. Now I feel the same about the 11” pro, i like the pro features, they’re cool, but not a life-altering necessity like it is to others. If they give the mini 7 a better screen and more storage i’ll be switching in a heartbeat
I agree.
I've always chosen the #iPadMini (with cellular) since @Apple started making tablets.
The last big screen iPad I purchased was a 10.2-inch screen.
I travel a lot and the Mini is just the right size every single time for me to carry. I still use the #iPadMini4 But now it's time to upgrade since its OS is end-of-life.
Your love for the iPad mini has really made me think about getting one. I had the iPad Pro 12.9” and I loved it. It was my main computer but I had to upgrade to the Mac book pro and got rid of my iPad. I’m seriously considering the mini. Thanks for the vid.
Great information, and thank you for a great video. Love your channel.
Love my mini 5… looking forward to checking out the 7. Just hope it’s this year.
The only reason that could make me upgrade from 6 to 7 is the ability to use the iPad full screen connected to a monitor as bigger iPads with M1-M2, if not I'm not interested in other features. I use the mini as note taking and media consumption device so I don't need more.
Really like your videos. You're so down to earth and straightforward with the right energy. I enjoy listening to your perspectives on the products.
I appreciate that!
I think you sold me with that point about meetings, and recording and playback!
I have been considering getting Ipad Mini for sometime. I think it’s everything you mentioned, fun and compact and you can take it anywhere. 🤗 I will definitely wait for the new iPad mini 7 🥰 Thank you Patrick ! now I’m really looking forward to it
I'm on the fence whether or not to upgrade from the 6 to the 7. It'll depend on what's new and pricing.
Loved his explanation and his way of explaination
I got my iPad mini 6 in hopes of switching from my standard iPad I’d been using for almost 2 years. Returned it 2 days later. Screen resolution, brightness, battery, speakers, UI size optimization and text size were all better on my 2 year old, cheaper iPad, and it didn’t have the extra issues like display distortion and jelly scrolling.
I couldn’t believe how blatantly obvious it was how much of a test product this was, testing the waters to see if people were still interested in the form factor so they could make a version that actually reflects how much it costs.
I LOVE iPad minis, but unless those issues are solved and we get an actual quality product, I’ll keep using my m1 iPad pro for, everything, really.
always relevant , thank you again
Patrick, thank you for the video, very insightful, the meetings comment you made and displayed made so much sense, not that it would apply to me, but definitely made sense! I’ll wait and see the mini 7, moving from my M1 11inch Pro. Definitely hear what you’re saying about portability and convenience of size and weight dimensions in this and other videos of yours. Like yourself I cannot wait for the next iteration. Thanks again for the video, diolch!
Thanks Steve, I appreciate that!
Love your videos man! You’re inspiring and I wanna maybe review tech stuff one day. Thanks again. Also, where is my iPad mini? Haha
Nice review! Thanks!
Thank you for the video. I have many of the same complaints about 12.9 pro. It’s not commuter friendly. I’ll wait for the next release of the mini. 😊
One of the best Reviews i ever saw. Keep em like that. Great Work Mate 👍
Thanks a ton!
I would say wait. I think even if they only add pro motion i think it’s better. I still would like smaller bezels. If the 11 gets mini LED I’m upgrading to that from my 2018 11 iPad Pro
iPad mini 6 periodically goes on sale at Best Buy and Amazon for 399$ for the 64GB WiFi version. This seems like a stellar buy and probably worth jumping on if you need one.
Good deal indeed, but probably worth considering if 64GB will be enough for potential buyers.
I have an iPad Mini 5 and just bought the iPad 9th Gen. due to the price I paid ( $249 ) I love watching TV/Movies on the 9, but find myself reaching for the Mini more. It’s so much lighter & smaller to travel with as well. I’ll wait until the Mini 7 comes out, THEN get a great price on the Mini 6, maybe I can get the Mini 6 ( 256 ) for the same price as the Mini 7 ( 64 ) 😎👍
I just want an updated iPad mini with more storage space and a better display - ProMotion 120Hz is such an amazing feature with the 11" iPad Pro. My iPad Mini 6 with Apple Pencil 2 is my favorite Apple device that I can always carry everywhere I go and with 5G LTE, it's a wonderful side companion to my old iPhone.
Oh wow! I didn’t expect that coming. I’ve been loving my Mini 6 for all the good reasons you’ve mentioned in all your videos about it. (I watched all of them btw ☺️)
Here is my deal to my self, if the mini 7 is worth upgrading, I will pay for it. I will give my beloved mini 6 to my Dad. He will love it for sure. 256GB minimum is still the ideal storage for every IPads in my opinion atleast for a heavy user like me who use it in school, journaling, storing my files etc.
Good video man, thanks for the info!
Appreciate it 🙌
Patrick I pulled the trigger on a IPad Pro 11 M2 because of your video! Where did you get your back iPad yellow protector you have on the big and mini iPad?
Still on the fence over purchasing the mini, but now having watched this, I definitely think I’ll wait and see what the 7 has to offer. Cheers Patrick
Thanks Tony!
Hi Patrick! You make such compelling arguments, thank you! Can I ask about your setup shown at 4:59 ? Which webcam are you using with the Pro Display XDR? Also do you prefer an iPad side to side to a second monitor?
Thanks
You came right on time with this one. I have an iPad mini 5th gen thing is my battery dies out super fast and the screen is not as colorful as the original (replaced screen about a year ago) I was gone replace those items but it’ll be better to invest in a new upgrade vs paying $200 plus on reinstalling old parts
Love my iPad Mini 6, got it for a great price during Prime Day, *but* I really wish I had paid the extra to get more than 64 GB storage. iPad OS and system data take up about 15 GB (at least for me), so I actually started out with about 50 GB available. I’ll probably upgrade to the 7 just to get more storage. Hopefully, trade-in value for the one I have will be enough to make it workable.
Meanwhile, I’m using this little guy every day and I love it for all the reasons you gave. I find myself reaching for it when I would otherwise use my phone, and the added screen space really makes a difference. 120 Hz would be nice, but I don’t really see any “jelly roll” issues with the 60 Hz. I do agree about using it outside: not very good for reading if you’re in bright sunlight.
Any recommendations on a really solid stand? I see you’ve got some listed, but the reviews are mixed on all of them.
The pitaka stand and charging case combo is my favorite, but it's quite expensive.
I just got the 6 (in part because of your recommendation!). I got the 256 and I got it refurbished. So I hope if there is a new one it's not TOO good. LOL.
Thanks Mr Rambles! I Learnt Heaps 🧠💡!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.
As always enjoy your input, I’m digging my iPad mini 6, I agree on the storage I have the 64GB I would of liked more I will keep my 6 if the iPad mini 7 has the 128GB at a reasonable price I might swap out.
Many thanks, Jeff!
Before Christmas (2023), both Target and Best Buy lowered its mini (6th generation) prices by $100. I got one.
Amazing!
Bro I love you videos big fan from Kenya Africa 💥💥 ...I really love apple phone and always have wished to get one in the future... I admire the iPads ..I am student but always hav admired to acquire a good mean to study iPad ...I'm tired of my itel phone..BIG FAN Patrick GOD BLESS YOU
Another iPad Mini 6 fan - my 1st Mini (and with 256GB). Love it for travelling, love it for reading etc. I *do* need to get a better case for it though. Have a case that folds around the pencil, leaving both ends exposed ND when case is flipped open, pencil is easily knocked flying ... 😮 Not sure yet why I'd upgrade to Mini 7 - no clear use case for me at this time... (Watch me talk myself into it though... 😅)
Man I could’ve done this review. You’re saying all of the same things I’m thinking. I even have a large iPad Pro that I don’t use much anymore.
I have a 12.9 pro, but I think I really think that I need a mini along side of it. I love the size of the 12.9 for professional artwork, but sometimes I just want a little sketch pad around the house, or to take with me to the restaurant, mini actually sounds perfect for that.
I have been using 64 GB memory on phones and ipad since 2015, never ran out of space. I use cloud to store my pics and videos and that does the trick.
Never understood why someone will have too much storage on their portable devices instead of the laptop.
Me neither. I’m not a gamer or a video editor, but I have tons of apps, and download a lot of RUclips vids and Tidal content for travel. I’m using like 24G. 🤔
It is on sale on Amazon at $399. Is that a good price or is it still better to wait for the new launch and see if it drops even lower?
I have a 2015 12.9 iPad Pro but routinely leave it behind when traveling due to weight. I agree about the paper weight comment.
I use my iPad mini for so many things…SO MANY THINGS. I bought it on launch day. But I’ve only used 39.5 of my 256 GB. If I offload some podcasts I could clear up even more storage. This thing is clutch. I’ll wait until the new one comes out and give this one to my wife. She sees me using mine so much, she wants one now, too!
Love my 6, not sure if I'll jump to the 7, particularly if the price is more. Curious how you got the calculator to your first desktop to the left. I can't find an option to create the widget. Another good one, Patrick. Thanks. 😎❤
🙏🏻❤️
May I ask if you have a yellow sticker protector on the back of the mini? Could you share a link to that?
Great video and I too would want a iPad Mini at 128g with same price as current Mini 6. That would make me get my first iPad 😉
Love the video
Much appreciated!
I will definitely buy the 7 if it supports stage manager with external screen like the M1/M2 based ones, and unlike A12/A12Z based iPads that only support Stage Manager in mirror mode.
Definitely on the wish list
@@PatrickRambles I hope they will sell an official Magic Keyboard for it or that Logitech or other brand will make a decent one. Would be perfect as a mini laptop + tablet use case, with desktop mode when you find a monitor to connect to. Perfect for the holidays or on the go with iPadOS gaining in maturity lately as close to a computer OS.
@@alexandrosroussos personally I'm not that keen on a keyboard for the mini. Would be way too small for my taste.
@@PatrickRambles yes, might be quite short indeed but for having a GPD pocket, I kinda like the use case for travels, still better than touch screen, especially to keep the screen real estate while using it, which is more limited on the mini. Don't know if I would pay $200 or more for that though.
Mini has always been my favorite iPad❤. I will definitely watch out for Mini7.
Nice content as always Patrick, I love my mini it’s so handy and not heavy . I still have my I pad pro 12.9 / 2018 I will change it this year for a refurbished one from apple . But as you said the mini 6 is so handy 😎👏🇮🇪
The mini is Bae 😍. Gonna do a video on whether the fold 5 can replace it 🤔
@@PatrickRambles nice one 👏
I agree. I like the convenient size for content consumption, especially from bed or the couch, when I don't feel like going to the Desktop. One of my personal problems is learning how to use all the compute power and applications. Plus, I've had little hiccups trying to get the Homepage customized. When I first set it up, it showed a Photo of my Dog in one of the stacks. Now, the Dog doesn't show up, but a different photo from Photos comes up ... and I can't find a reliable set of instructions for changing the image...
I was able to snag a used one for $200 in March from eBay, before people started getting interested. Now a used device costs nearly the same as a New one... sometimes they try to get even more!
Wow that's a steal!!
Hope it is better than my Mini 6. Mine overheats and shuts down in hot and humid weather. It has a poor display, the keyboard is too large in landscape format, and many apps are not optimized for it. Just try to use the RUclips slider to fast forward. Other than the performance and form factor, it hasn't been a good experience for me.
I have a iPad 6 mini and I phone 13 mini and AW 7 all in Starlight plus my MC is Starlight too but I really want to go back to sliver
I could do with an iPad Mini SE. It would have Ipad mini 5 specs and design, apart from an updated chipset. Price 350€. When it comes to tablets those chunkier bezels make it easier to get a good grip and be used as an e-reader. Therefore they serve a purpose for some users at least. They serve no purpose on phones though.
My favorite and only ipad ever too
what is that yellow cover that you use on the back? is it like a back screen protector or like clipped on? cheers
I am defo gonna wait!
Smart!
Hi Patrick - great videos - thanks. Could you advise what your iPad Mini is attached to/resting on at 4'25'' of the video? Any advice on something that will allow me to rest the mini on, sketch on and protect it would be appreciated. I'm looking at the Griffin Survivor Endurance but concerned that it may end up rocking. Would appreciate videos on use of Mini with Macbook pro while sketching on the Mini (like Continuity) during Teams. Keep it up!
Thanks! It's this one : Compass Pro low angle iPad stand: geni.us/jLQjpqF
I have owned All the new Mini's and never looked back, I broke out my Mini 6th at work the guys where shocked by the screen they thought it was a Phone, I told them no it's a apple Ipad mini. Everything except the Phone bill. I don't buy the cellular sim card mini's. I have given many away as gifts to my sweetheart, brother, grand kids. I always buy the new mini until the next one comes out . I'm totally addicted. And have been for many years.Thanks for the great video. The ZUGU case is a awesome case. I love the Otterbox but $$$$. I have bought the Mini's from Apple. Except the last one, the 6th I got it from amazon refurbished, It's been perfect. I can't wait for the 7th.
9 inch screen (thinner bezel) , OLED, A17PRO, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, 48MP main camera. That’s perfection.
I love your videos thank you I'm waiting for the iPad mini 7
Hey much appreciated 🙏
I hope they do a Mini Pro. I want the XDR screen and the good camera
Same and I would love a iPhone pro mini 😂
I had the newest iPad Pro at the time when I switched to the Mini 6, and I don’t regret it
I know exactly what you mean. Something special about that little guy.
iPad mini is perfect travel companion. I use it for GPS, video and photo editor, media consumption, and documents. I travel super light, and this is the best.
wow love ur videos mate...doen subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
What do you recommend for texts, zoom, emails etc?
I never play games.
I didn't think I would be that bothered by the jelly scroll, but since I read webtoons on the mini or use it when browsing pinterest for reference photos for art stuff, it's pretty obvious to me.
I would also be willing to pay for better speakers. it just bothers me that my phone sounds better than the mini... esp if people mainly use it for play/media consumption
I hated my iPad Pro after a while. Gets heavy and looks monstrous. So happy with my switch to mini ❤ I think it’d be awesome if they brought MagSafe to the mini
And 120hz
Sooo….should i get the mini 6 now that a new one wasn’t announced?
1:50 what stand is that for the iPad?
Bought one this week on fb marketplace. 256GB with speck case and screen protector. Only for $350, I say it was a steal
Nice!
Will the mini 7 be released this october?
I’d preorder and spec’d out 7 mini now tbh. Take my money.
Can you zoom to fill the screen in youtube and other apps?
After 1 year using iPad mini6, I can’t leave it wherever I go.😅 I separated my work and fun with IPhone 13 mini and iPad mini6
I even have the iPad mini 5 but would love to get a iPad mini 7. And hopefully 120 hr.
In the process of looking at the Mini. I can probably hold out for a few months to see if anything drops in the fall. But, if not, then by year's end, I am inclined to pick up a Mini 6.
Same boat. Might wait for the 7 to release so the 6 gets dropped in price
Same I just bought my mini 6 yesterday, I’ll see how I like it when it arrives and I have 2 weeks to return it so if any more news comes out I’ll just scoop up the mini 7 and return the 6
There will be no 7 coming this year. Don't be surprised if it's still not here by the 2nd quarter of 2024
Where did you get the skin/case?
I want to buy one for only 2 things: watching stuff (Disney+, youtube) and taking notes. BTW, I didn't know notability till now, sooooo thank you very much!
I need some help guys. I want something to just literally watch RUclips and Netflix etc. I recently got an m2 mbp so I’m don’t feel the need to get the iPad Pro. So I don’t need a laptop screen size etc. should I get the mini or the air
I think you should do a workout video! You’re an inspiration.
Thanks man 💪
When’s the event? End of September?
Still worth it! Can't manage to buy one yet after recent move, still fingers crossed for your giveaway from last month ^_^
Idk the ipads are in a weird place for whats supported.
The 6th gen & 7th gen ipad are using A10 Chips, 8th gen A12 (came out in 2020) A13 ipad 9 A14 Ipad 10.
The air 4 A14 & the mini 6 A15 all other entries of other models have an M for pros an air now.
I do find that using the A15 chipset in the mini 6 makes it have more support as the chip was used in the 14 & 14plus.
So I really think a new mini wont be out for awhile.
do those arms ever get fatigue?
Sadly we got such a huge price bump on these older Apple products last year, mainly because forex (local currency badly weakened against USD). The Mini 6 is now at the same price point as the Air 4 I got back in 2020 which really sucks. So while I want a new Mini (the Mini 5 was my first iPad after all) sadly the price just isn’t ideal.
Yes I'm in Europe too so I feel that.
They’re 399 right now
Where can I get that yellow iPad custom skin??
Got an iPad Pro 11 with the 12X chip. I’m hoping the 7 has the A17 chip. If so I’m in. Otherwise I’ll leave it another year.
i gave been thinking about getting a mini and hearing the ipad mini 7 might be around the corner i have been holding off..
It’s the best iPad, perfect travel and content consumption companion.
I will upgrade to the 7 if it only has significant upgrades like an oled screen or “pro” version. If not I’ll stick with the 6 it’s still a beast.
I hope they fix the screen issue with the mini 7. I have returned two mini 6's due to headaches and eye strain I experienced while using them. Tried it twice as i really wanted it to be my go-to device due to its size.Even with the reduced motion turned off, I had problems. I battle with motion sickness and the mini 6 seems to affect it. I had to go back to using my Mini 5 and IPad Pro as they do not affect the motion sickness.
It's a very subjective phenomenon. Some notice nothing and other can't stand it. Hopefully they give us promotion which should fix that.
@PatrickRambles I agree hopefully Promotion will fix it, its the first device that I have had such noticeable problems with. I suffer from a self diagnosed "CUD" issue ( compulsive upgrade disorder) 🤣 so I use more devices than the average user and I am also not locked into a specific ecosystem either.
