Before I got my first iPhone in 2019, i actually used my iPad mini as my phone! It actually worked great. As an artist, my main content creation device is my iPad Pro, but when I really wanna travel light, I always grab my iPad mini. It’s the perfect size digital sketchbook when on the go. I just upgraded my iPad mini 5 to the new iPad mini 7 and wow… it is quickly becoming my favorite device. I’m not going to ditch my iPhone again, since it has replaced my dslr as my main camera… but I take my iPad mini 7 everywhere. It fits in my jacket pocket or cargo pants pocket perfectly. Don’t even feel it. But when inspiration strikes on the streets of NY, I whip it put & start drawing. It compliments my iPad Pro which i mainly use at home nicely. Between my iPhone, iPad mini & iPad Pro, I have converted to an iOS only workflow. I don’t use a laptop anymore…or a heavy dslr & lens setup. My iphone & iPads do all my creative work now. Plus they are great for everyday use like surfing the web, writing & media consumption. I will never get another laptop again.
The iPad Mini 7 looks great and I am going to get one. However, the best iPad ever made was the 2018 iPad Pro. It was a major upgrade from all previous iPad and still holds it own against newer models even though it is 6 years old. It introduced Pro Motion display with up to 120hz refresh rate, thin bezels, Face ID, up to 1TB of storage, True Tone, USB C connector, edge to edge Liquid Retina display, thinner case, more rounded bezels, etc.
@@codoflife6115 I remember hearing reports about the bending problem but I never tried to flex mine and it has always been in a keyboard case. It has traveled around the U.S., the UK, Holland, France, Switzerland and Germany without any problems but I will admit that I have the keyboard case inside of another case whenever I am traveling. The $1,600 I spent to get it was a big expense for me so I have always been paranoid about damaging it.
I'm an Android guy, with a Tab S9 and Z Flip 6. But I have the Mini 7 because of the form factor. Ipad os is limited compared to Android/Samsung but there is no Android competition in the small tablet space.
Z fold 6 is better . That's is litterally the most perfect mini tablet I ever used . If ipad mini was 120hz I would say it would be a good competitor or better . But it's not
@@droo3010 well tbh Xiaomi pad is way more decent than these low tier ipad. Apple dgaf about user anymore. You can see how the screen is a bit yellowish as well as the positions of button
I love my mini 7, gave my wife my 2018 iPad Pro. Thought I would miss it, but not at all. I was thinking about getting paperlike screen protector, just not sure, don’t want to lose picture quality. Thinking about sketching on it, so we shall c how that goes. Thanks for the great content, peace and blessings.
Here My Story Why ipad mini 7 is King!! B ought an ipad pro 11 m4 sadly due to PWM it causes headache and eyestrain, which no one talks about . So oled is a big no unless its xiaomi which doesnt have this issue which is weird. Ended up buying m2 ipad then its too heavy decided had a leap of faith and bought an ipad mini 7 cellular I must Say its the most perfect device Ever made.its like having a phone… I play wuthering wave, warzone mobile, social media and netflix machine Every single day i also use this to schedule my patients
What irritates me about my iPad mini's multitasking is why can do it well in portrait mode. On my Samsung Fold, for instance, I can split screen youtube and play a game on the bottom portion. On the mini, that's just impossible. On the mini, I just stick to one app at a time because of that.
Imagine if it was 120hz. Calling a 60hz the best is just something someone who don't know anything about tech would say .. If it was 120hz I would def call it the best mini tablet ever made

That iPad pro holds up so well even today. For real!
Promotion came out on the 2017 iPad Pro not the 2018
@@codoflife6115 thanks for the correction. The 2018 model was still a major upgrade. It even runs 18.1.1 though without the A.I.
@@JBass33agreed on all other points you made aside from the fact that they had a bending problem unfortunately

I agree, this is the best IPad ever!
Nice review! That little ipad flipping trick at 05:26 is insane. 😂❤
Own the 6, and love it so much! A tiny powerhouse.

Agreed - an unexpected huge fan of the iPad mini 7!!! Brilliant device
I’m using luma fusion on my mini and it works perfectly
How much internal memory does your iPad mini 7 have?
Just upgraded from the 2019 5th Gen. Really complements my Product Red iPhone 13 Mini. Just wish it came in the same colour.
Thanks for the content.
Huge upgrade! You liking it so far?
Ipad mini in red would be fire
I agree with you and use mine for everything.
I use my iPad Mini 7 as my primary iOS device and my Google Pixel 9 Pro as my true smartphone.

Is It mad to change my iPad Pro m2 for this one due to portability? Or m2 is way better
How’s the battery life on regular use?
What phone are you using and where can we get it for US bands?
My iPad Pro 11” from 2018 begs to differ, sir.
The main thing that annoys me about the mini 7 is screen brightness. If they had fixed that, the other shortcomings wouldn’t matter to me
Omg..is that the IPAD MINI 7!!???
YUP and I love it
