bought the iPad mini and used it for one month now, absolutely love it, I owned iPad mini 1, 2, 3 in the past and love them. Skipped some minis before I am back again.
I bought my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9” with cellular and 512GB when it came out and it cost about $1,600. I still use it everyday so it is hardly gathering dust. I have traveled throughout the US and parts of Europe with it and been reminded daily on those trips that it is just a little too big and heavy to carry around all the time. Because of its high price I never leave it in a hotel room. I do have an IPad mini on my Christmas list due to the smaller form factor and the chip that can handle AI. Can’t wait.
I recently bought the iPad Mini 7, the first iPad Mini I've ever owned. After using it and my iPad 10th Gen for a while, I decided to trade in the 10th Gen. I would have to agree, the Mini works well as an augment to my iPhone and MacBook Air, more so than the 10th Gen. Thanks for the review!
Purchased the iPad Mini 7 for the size, hated it as soon as i started using cause i can literally feel the lagging of the display (used iPad Pro and using the iPhone 16 Pro for context) and put it on for sale. BUT, Here me out. While waiting for a buyer, started using as there's nothing else to do and I started to Love the thing. It's so Good to use. Just picking it up feels so good strangely. Safe to say, keeping it.
Traded in my air 5 from over 2 years ago for the new mini and me personally I love the smaller size especially for reading. I got the air 5 when I was in university so the ~11inch display made sense especially for note taking, pdf annotating, split screen etc. but found it too big for casual reading, then as soon as I graduated I barely used it except for watching videos. The portability for me is sooo much more worth it with the mini (+ the display is pretty much the same so I dont have any complaints of downgrading), I don't use it heavily enough to notice the difference between the m1 and a17 so the size alone was reason enough to make the switch.
I had the m4 11” and while the display was magical it was overkill for my uses. I sold it and grabbed a 256 gb mini and it’s probably my favorite piece of tech I’ve had in a decade. Specs are great, but they don’t always tell the whole story.
If it wasn’t so dang expensive, I’d buy one. I’ve had the mini 2, 4 and 5 ($399) I’m using the iPad 10 now ($259) and loving the size. $500 for a smaller iPad doesn’t seem justifiably right now. 😎
Great review as always. Question: Are you able to use Instagram on the mini in full scren? The genius at the local apple store insisted it would crash. I need something bigger than a iphone mainly for IG as we put up a lot of fitness content..and the iphone screens are a bit smallish. Thanks
I have a m1 iPad Pro 11 inch and it’s nice but I do like the compact feeling of the iPad mini I used the mini 2 for quite a while before my iPad Pro although I wish the iPad mini had 120hz and mabye oled and it be almost perfect sure am considering getting a iPad mini again.
Really hard to buy this when for just $100 more you can get the Air with much better specs, but then you're stuck with the larger device which I really don't want. Apple made a real lose-lose situation here.
The screens are the same quality, the build quality is the same, the reason people buy the mini is because its mini, if you want an air you might as well get a iPad pro for that display to work with the M chip
I’ve got the new mini, I love it the only thing it needs is a oled display, the size is perfect tho I tried using my moms iPad 10 and it was very big and bulky. Comparing this to my old iPad Air 2 the size of the mini is perfect
Nice vid mate. I think the talking speed is fine, I run it at 1.25x, but rather than trying to change your speaking speed, having proper subs might be an alternative. However, that'll always be a preference thing I have the 6, love it basically only for the size, and I'd love to upgrade for the new processor, but no 120Hz and the crap trade-in value is a buzzkill
It's a lot more cramped for sure but depends what you need a pen for. Annotating and short notes/memos here and there are fine. But for anything else, it's going to feel a bit cramped
I have to disagree on the screen. It looks nice, until I scroll. It just looks so stuttery compared to my Fold 4. It really should've gotten a higher refresh screen. I like everything else about it. I just bought one cause I always wanted one, and I am gonna use it for work.

@@hoyoungwon I think your talking speed is great. Talk however feels natural and the viewers and speed up or slow down the video if they'd like. P.S. I clicked on this video because I've been considering swapping my Macbook 14 inch for a small Ipad so that I can use it everywhere without it feeling chunky

What do you think is the 'default' tablet purchase on the Android side? 🤔
Very happy with a Redmi Pad SE
There aren't any on the Android side, sooner or later they become slow and laggy. iPads are the best tablets.
@@SPFboy86 unnecessary and wasteful comment. It's still an interesting discussion
Tablets are useless.

Glad you're making good use of the Pro and hope the Mini can be a nice secondary option for you!

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you're enjoying your Mini
Love how sharp the display is. With a high ppi, books and .pdfs look so crisp on the mini 7.
The new mini7 looks a lot like my mini6. I still use my mini iPad all the time because of the convenient size.
So convenient 🥹

Improved standby time is nice. My mini 6 only lasts a few days sitting around
Definitely!

I’ve had my 11 my pro for a Couple months and I don’t go a single day without it 😂 the mini is to close to the size of my phone

If you're worried about specs... I don't think the mini is the way to go for you
@@hoyoungwon That's what I'm saying, it made more sense when they had the same specs, just different screen sizes (and slightly cheap price).
But do you actually need the better specs?
mainly I don't want jelly scrolling and wanna be able to use an external display
The screens are the same quality, the build quality is the same, the reason people buy the mini is because its mini, if you want an air you might as well get a iPad pro for that display to work with the M chip

Wallpaper?
I’ve owned the Mini 5 and now the 6 but I’m going to skip the 7 because I don’t see any reason at least for my usage to warrant an upgrade
Smart decision, Gen 17 is great for gen 5 or non mini users. For gen 6 is dumb upgrade as of now.
I have a question in 2:06 the threads application, is it an app or its the website version that is shown in the video? Would love to know!!
Nice vid mate. I think the talking speed is fine, I run it at 1.25x, but rather than trying to change your speaking speed, having proper subs might be an alternative. However, that'll always be a preference thing
I have the 6, love it basically only for the size, and I'd love to upgrade for the new processor, but no 120Hz and the crap trade-in value is a buzzkill
English subs are always available on my videos!
No 120Hz is definitely a bummer
@ ahh great, I guess i didn't notice
Is this good for teachers? I'd love to use a small ipad for my classes, but I want to know if the size will be appropriate tho.
ONLY 5000 mah battery?? Oh they definitely can fit a LOT more battery in that thing
They could've or couldn't, but either way, really great battery performance
@@hoyoungwon they definitely could considering a lot of smartphones now ships with that capacity
Do you think the 128GB version is worth it?
For my use case, definitely!
@hoyoungwon Thanks! I bought the 128GB version and was afraid it wouldn't be enough for the next few years.
nice video, but can u tell me about de comfortable with apple pencil pro in a screen 8,3” compared with 11” than ipad air ? pls
for notes taking it’s completely fine. but for drawing/sketching it depends on every person, but imo it feels okay (not too small)
It's a lot more cramped for sure but depends what you need a pen for. Annotating and short notes/memos here and there are fine. But for anything else, it's going to feel a bit cramped
Better buy iPad Air 11 over mini 7. Unless you wanted portability.
I have to disagree on the screen. It looks nice, until I scroll. It just looks so stuttery compared to my Fold 4. It really should've gotten a higher refresh screen. I like everything else about it. I just bought one cause I always wanted one, and I am gonna use it for work.
Hope you enjoy it! Maybe my eyes are just more tolerant about the 60Hz iOS/iPadOS experience 🤷♂️

Why the heck would u recommend people a 60hz rr ipad.
Please talk slower! Thanks for the vids, anyway, and Season's greetings!
Will do :) thanks for watching and happy holidays!

Okay so I just realised Ipad mini's don't come with keyboards, I assume because it's too small for a keyboard that size to be typed with.
"60Hz on IPadOS, Feelys more like a 90hz Android phone" ? 60hz will always be 60hz, feeling like 90hz is your subjective.
A review is always subjective my friend lol
@@hoyoungwon you are talking about numbers. 60 hertz is 60 hertz. Mathematics doesnt care about your feelings
agreed but I do believe that apple have the fastest feeling 60hz display out there
