as an artist and tech enjoyer, i hope i can reach 80s to be former techie like you. Would be nice to see Butch ipad mini setup 📱 Want to get the mini too, hope next one have brighter screen tho, i love to go outside 😎 -sent from m2 pro 11”
You’ve shown me a few accessories I hadn’t seen before! This is the first video I’ve watched of yours but I had to subscribe given your wonderful sense of humor. Cheers from the US!
BRILLIANT! Just view video, liked and subscribed! I will be getting a mini shortly, not sure if I will get a 6 or the anticipated 7. I love how you found accessories that won’t break the bank! I especially love the magnetized paper sheet! Thanks for this video! Anything, I purchase from your recommendations, I’ll use the link. Have you Done a vid on 6 vs 7? Be well, Victoria
Great video thank you. Wanting to pick up an iPad mini 6 if a 7 isn’t announced I before the end of the year. This video was a fresh breath of air, loved the live examples of your use cases
I got a Penoval but literally returned it after a few days as it kept turning off and would take ages to come back on. I don't know if I just got a faulty one but I ended up getting the official one to be safe.
@@ThatMarkGilroy I was going get the official Apple one eventually anyway. :) I thought if I could get a cheap one for now I could use it as a spare later on.
There’s a great bit in Hannah Gadsby’s “Douglas” about the different meanings of “fanny”, depending on which country’s version of English that you speak. Definitely worth a watch. Thanks for the content.
Your videos are getting SO much better!!!! (sorry, that makes me sound arrongant) This one is awesome - mostly because: - I'm cheap and everything is too spendy these days - I love my Ipad Mini - I agree with everything you say here... ! Great job - subscribing!
I'd like to make an alternate recommendation in regards to the case/keyboard. Instead of getting an all-in one option, I found the ESR Rebound Series case for under $20 on Amazon. I also found a great Bluetooth keyboard from Moko for under $30 which is foldable so it takes up less space than the Mini when not in use. Both fit into my cross body sling (no bum or fanny involved) and are much less bulky than a keyboard case, plus the fact they are separate actually makes it easier for me to pack them. What's more, the keyboard turns off when folded, maximizing battery life between charges.
Hi Bryana. Depends on how you’re taking notes. In the b-roll here I was holding it up to show the camera with one hand and writing on it with the other, and there it did slip around a bit. But in a ‘real’ writing scenario when your palm is on the screen, it doesn’t move.
My ipad mini 5 started playing up, charging became a hit & miss affair, with the ipad overheating & an charging cable actually melting whilst in use, so I stopped using it & bought myself the ipad mini 6 & I love it, a few months passed & I got out my old mini 5 to give it a clean with a view to seeing if I could sell it for spare parts, whilst cleaning it I noticed the lightening port was full of fluff & lint from when I would just put it unprotected in my coat pocket, it was this that was causing the charging issues, after cleaning the port it was charging normally as good as before, so I was happy to reset it & gift it to my daughter, now I put lightening & usb-c dust plugs in all my devices, they are super cheap, readily available & will stop this issue from reoccurring.
@@ThatMarkGilroy or the A17 pro. Or even better the new A18 are capable of the new AI features.iPad mini would give me another reason to go with a smaller phone.
I’m a tad frustrated as a mini 5 owner. It’s getting quite long in the tooth, glass on the edges chipping and the case holding together exclusively on my own hopes and dreams at this point. I desperately need an upgrade and don’t know if I’m willing to wait another 6mos or longer for an update on the mini 7.
@SmokeyChipOatley Mate. I took the plunge with an 11” iPad Pro and it might be curtains for my 6th gen Mini. Time will tell but it’s long overdue some love from Apple.
@@ThatMarkGilroy I met you half way and went with an 11” Air M2. Absolutely loving it so far. My only nitpick is that I’m a smoker (I know, I know) and am still trying to get used to carrying the additional weight while outside. I used to rest my mini on my left forearm while consuming my death sticks and I’d be able to stand for ages without the slightest bit of fatigue or discomfort. I get tired so quickly now which could mean a temporary reduction in my bad habit so that may actually turn out to be be a positive thing 🤷♂️ If anything I could try selling the knowledge I just acquired to party balloon manufacturers since I’ve technically just discovered something *much* lighter than “Air ™️”
Bum bags or fanny packs? Your call. 😜
I’m more upset that people are saying “Millennials just discovered Fanny/Bum bags” like we were there when they were popular in the beginning 😂
@@alexibarra4675 Too right! 😄

Thanks for watching Butch. My Dad’s in his 80s and as a former techie he thinks the Mini is an absolute marvel. He’s right, as usual!

Kinda fell in love with the Mini when I saw so many Stanford students using early versions in 2015. Just got mine, nine years later. Cute cute cute.
Thanks for not spending 20 minutes talking about paper like…
You're welcome! *disclaimer may talk about them for 60secs or so in future

Hi, did you try the keyboard on the iPad mini 7, and the other accessories? Thank you have a great day.
Yes I did and it works great.
Just found your content. Great video with perfect pace, humor, and overall great content! (and looking forward to more!)
@@chaskinsnc If you’re a fan of my silly humor you’ll be right at home here. Welcome!
When do you think the iPad mini 7th Gen will be released?
Oh mate, I’m REALLY hoping the rumours are true and we get a ‘just one more thing’ next week.
I suspect however it won’t be this year.

@@clippylady9837 ah, thanks Victoria and welcome! I will definitely make a 6 vs 7 video when I get my hands on the new generation.
Magsafe adapter and a magsafe popsocket 🥰 for a more stable hold while also being able to remove it if you are going to put the ipad on a stand.
Good call. 👍🏻
solid work. I personally use the Logitech K480 for my iPad mini workflow and have no complaints
Thanks for the heads up Tom. Not seen that one before but it looks really smart. And the gap holds the Mini?
@@ThatMarkGilroy yes sir! Sometimes the angle can catch glare from particular overhead lights, but otherwise enjoyable.
How many litres is the bum bag ?
@@shazzabeardsley5039 This one has 3L capacity.
Great video thank you. Wanting to pick up an iPad mini 6 if a 7 isn’t announced I before the end of the year. This video was a fresh breath of air, loved the live examples of your use cases
Thanks Gustaf! Definitely worth waiting until at least the end of October to see if we get a new release.

Sorry to hear about that. Mine’s been behaving OK- sounds like you had a faulty one or maybe some issue with bluetooth settings.

Just been checking those out Kevin. The keyboard in particular looks awesome- thanks for sharing. I smell a keyboard case showdown for a future video!
Is this iPad mini (7.9-inch, Late 2015, 4th Gen)?
6th gen mate. 👍🏻
Great vid. I liked the look of your key holder; which brand is it?
It’s from Orbitkey. They put out a limited edition all black release in saffiano leather a while ago. Still going strong after many years!
Honestly I expecting all apple product lol. Your video really nice
Ha, thanks Kana!
Does the paperfeel screen protector move around when writing? Since it’s not sticky.

@@davidmcivor2761 That’s an awesome idea. And good catch! 👍🏻
Do you ever end a sentence?
to be honest if you don't need the pencil inclination feature you can just get any 5 dollar pen, same with the paper-like screen prootector.
I’ve tried some of the really cheap ones. They’re pretty nasty. This one feels just like the Apple Pencil other than the inclination.
Great video!! Ive just ordered the iPad mini, use the pro but wanted a smaller one to carry like with the stiff you carry.
Good choice!
After watching WWDC. I cant wait for the next iPad Mini and creating a similar set up.
Hoping they stick an M-series chip in the next one so we get some of the AI features.

New sub here, first time watching today, watched 4 videos…. Question, Which skin is on your iPad mini?
Thanks buddy. The skin is from dbrand- it’s called ‘Swarm’. I like it because it adds some texture/grip to an otherwise slippery surface.
@@ThatMarkGilroy thank you .. I like it.
Great video! Thanks!
the price difference is more taxes and tariffs than exchange rate
Nice video man! New subscriber
Thanks mate. And welcome!
I hate all iPad mini keyboards. Just way too small and I have typos too often.
My other go to when I need to type on this (and it ain’t budget) is the Nuphy Air 75 with the Nufolio case/stand. Works a treat.
@@ThatMarkGilroy for home I have the logi Mx keys.
Another commenter mentioned the K480 which comes with a little notch to sit your iPad in.
Nice!
Expensive Apple Pencil and It ONLY comes in white
What's on your left and right? You keep on looking from left to right. Lol
@@worldshaking0502 The people who are holding me hostage and forcing me to make these videos. Send help!
This guy constantly looks to the left and right...interesting
It’s because I have PTSD from watching too much RUclips.
Screen protector. I’m done listening.
The fanny pack, the bum bag and then you get the wanksta bag 😅😅😅😅
Oh that’s good!!
