Should you buy the iPad Mini 6? Well, it depends. Here is my 3-week review of the iPad Mini 6. I just spent 3 strange weeks with the iPad Mini 6. If you love tablets, like I do, you’ve probably seen SOME people say the Mini is a terrible iPad, they would never get it, or they’re taking it back.
And others think it’s an incredible iPad for them, and it’s exactly what they want - so... how can that be? How is it possible for people to have SUCH DRASTICALLY different opinions about the iPad Mini 6?

What's up everyone?! I hope this 3-week review of the iPad Mini 6 was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
Would love to know what you think. Is this an iPad that you would use and why or why not?
Would you do a Long-term review of iPad 9?
Are you a F1 fan?! Cause I saw Drive to Survive on the screen. Great content btw!
Good review. I appreciated the tip about how you programmed touch. I am seriously considering the mini. I think the smaller size, compared to the other iPad models, will work for me.
Hi
The only other iPad I've ever owned is an iPad mini 2. I've been waiting YEARS for this update, and am thrilled with the mini 6. I can't imagine hauling around a 12.9 inch iPad. I was tempted to get an Air or a Pro, but I'm glad I waited for the mini update. Love it.
yesss i had the ipad mini 2 and just ordered the 6 :) excited
Well l ‘used to’ have an iPad mini 1, but right now it is absolutely useless. It is so slow that l can’t even scroll. And now with this iPad mini 6 I will finally have a working iPad again.
@@Solaes57 yes!! And it was annoying the some apps just wouldn’t work because it only was able to download “X many versions ago” version
Lol I have the iPad mini2. The only apps that work are iBooks and Safari. It does a lot of timing out on safari but for reading it's great. This is why I'm apprehensive about buying a new one. Do you like it?
Had the mini for about 10 days and it is spot on it does what I want read, internet, adjust photo’s play music, podcasts and it fits in my coat pockets
I think a lot of people buy into the idea of an iPad as a laptop replacement (at least aspirationally)-thanks to tireless marketing in that regard by Apple-and those people are having a knee-jerk reaction to the mini 6. But a lot of us don’t-or have tried (and tried) and just prefer reaching for a MacBook for hard-core productivity tasks. And once you’ve learned that, try as you might, you really don’t like using your iPad with a keyboard (smart, magic, Bluetooth, or whatever), smaller iPads just become better iPads. I traded in my Air 4 for a mini 6 last week. I can’t put it down. I don’t even want to put it down. The points you made about weight, size, and ergonomics, they really do make the mini 6 unexpectedly delightful. The last time I remember that feeling this strongly with a new Apple device was my rev.1 iPod in 2001. It’s a feeling I never felt during five years I spent using larger iPads Pro with keyboards. I can honestly say this is my favorite tablet ever. And I don’t really think it’s niche, either. It seems to me the only thing that people point to in justifying calling it niche is that it’s harder to use with an external keyboard. If a keyboard is the whole selling point for an iPad, why not just buy a MacBook instead?
Nice analysis.
It’s not even hard to use with a keyboard. I have a foldable keyboard that is very slim and it works just great.
I think you completley miss the fact that most people buy ipads for watching movies and content. And we want nice big screens for that. Smaller ipad not better ipad. I have no need for a keyboard because the 12.9 has a full size virtual keyboard, plus i can draw right on the screen. Smaller Defeats the whole purpose for me. Do you have any regard for how uncomfortable it is to use a laptop laying down or being in a car or standing up, to watch a movie or just doing anything. The selling point is the fact that you can take it off the keyboard. You ever tried taking you Macbook Screen off the keyboard when you needed something more convenient or you wanted to draw on it? Didnt think so.. This is why apple sells millions and you comment on youtube videos lol
I only have an iPad Pro 9.7" as my main device as my computer is a 12 year old MacBook Pro I rarely use as it's too old. I plan to buy a new Mac at some point. But using my iPad or my iPhone XR has taught me that iOS is NOT a computer replacement. I am buying a new iPad next week for my birthday and am really split between the new Mini or the iPad Pro 11" because of this reason, the M1 is fantastic but also utterly wasted in that iPad Pro because of iOS's limitations, so then the Mini makes more sense as an iPad.
@@KiLLJOY1056 Thank you for agreeing with me. Like you, I believe that people love iPads for mobile content consumption. And as I said in my comment, I love doing everything on my mini, as I’m sure many people do, because of its ergonomics and compact form factor. So no, you cannot generalize that the whole world loves larger iPads. That’s kind of my whole point. And you seem to have missed it completely.
Thank you for being so honest and unbiased. This is the first video that didn’t make me feel like I made a mistake for purchasing this product for the purpose I got it for. It’s exactly what I need and now I feel confident in my purchase. Subbed
Patrick, I wish more people considered what they actually need when making a purchasing decision. I'm so glad you got a device that works for you! Thanks for being part of the channel!
I have absolutely loved my iPad mini with Retina display (iPad mini 2) for the past seven years. This iPad is big enough but never too big. It's CRAZY portable yet does almost everything any other iPad does. But this one fits in my jacket pocket so I can (and do) take it everywhere.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
I feel the same about the size. It’s a ‘mini’ and I enjoy using this compact iPad. I have the 12.9 which isn’t for a casual on the go girl like me. I love both of my iPads.
Exactly
“That’s why they called Mini” Gold ✊🏼
😂🤣
I went and ordered one this morning. I'm going outside my box. Instead of Space Gray, I went with Starlight. I feel so ... rebellious! LOL Thanks, man.
I’ve an iPad Pro 9.7” and it’s redundant now I have the iPad Mini. Personally this is the iPad I’ve been waiting years for.
I’m a 3rd year Premed/Biochemistry student, so most, if not all of my classes don’t necessarily require a laptop, but I do need to take notes. After having the mini, most of the time, I ended up just shoving that sucker in my coat pocket without a backpack and going to lectures. I haven’t felt any limits in taking notes, besides the smaller display, but that’s just nitpicking considering I don’t need to even take a backpack with me. It’s honestly a gamechanger from my 11” iPad Pro that I used during quarantine at home.
I bought an iPad Mini - 8 years ago. I did not like it for browsing - I use my 14" laptop for that.
I use my Mini almost exclusively when I travel for the following:
#1- as a GPS unit in the car - simply the best GPS ever !
#2 - as a side kick or mirror screen to view video a/w my laptop while on the road
#3 - & as an Reader
Over all these years that is about all I have used the mini for (I don't game)
I will likely buy the new Mini 6 as my old one is on it's last leg.
I upgraded from the previous 11inch ipad pro to the new ipad mini. No matter what ipad i was using, connecting the apple pencil to the ipad drained the ipad's battery. if you dont use the apple pencil, the mini lasts me about 2-3 full days with moderate to heavy use, the pro lasted about 3.5-4 days with moderate to heavy use. Honestly the battery isn't really an issue unless you're constantly playing power hungry games on the go all the time. I was able to play CoD mobile with an xbox controller and airpods connected for 8 hours starting at 75% battery on the mini with no loss in performance - even as the battery hit 10%. the battery in this thing is actually amazing for how small and light it is. if this means anything to you, I'd say you can confidently leave your home with the ipad mini at 35-40% battery and know it will get you through a full day of heavy use if you're not playing games
Watching this on my new iPad mini 6. Literally the best tablet I’ve got. Playing baduk on it is so comfortable.
My iPad mini 6 and 2nd gen pencil will take almost 2 months to get here 😔
@@recnelizgaming I immediately bought it when I saw one in stock on Sunday morning. Got very lucky.
CONGRATS!
I already have a Mini 6 + 12.9 Pro, so was interested in what your take was. I think the Mini 6 isn’t the best iPad for work, but it is definitely the most fun. I love reading webpages, writing quick emails and playing COD Mobile on it. It’s just so easy to pick up.
Legit a good review. Not just specs - which we can all see on the corresponding apple page, but really good explanations of usage. Well done, my dude.
Thanks so much Chuck - I appreciate the feedback!
I just got one for my birthday and I'm in love I never notice jelly scrolling and the size andlayout is perfect for me
Although I have bigger iPad Pro models to use I've always been a fan of the iPad Mini for gaming and travelling. I've had the mini 2 and 4 models and have just traded the 4 in for the 6. Apart from the new shape, that I really like, the extra screen size was the main thing that struck me, I know it's only 0.4 of an inch but it really made a difference. For me I'm super happy with the mini 6.
ah, im getting an ipad mini 6 soon. i got an mini 2 off of ebay for dirt cheap to test drive the form factor, and i love it honestly. its so light, so nice feeling and portable. it wont do the things that my laptop can, but thats okay. dont need nor want it to. i want to watch videos and chat without having my phone so close to my face. its perfect for me, and i know it isn't for a lot of people. and thats okay. it dosent need to be, nor is it wanting to be. its really just there, and you have to come to it.
Yeah I traded my iPhone 12 for the iPad mini. I’m very mobile and often end up working on my phone. Excited to see how it goes. Arrives Monday. Using AirPods and watch for calls. iPad is cellular and hotspot.
3:56 I've searched so long for someone to show the magnets, finally found your video
I have no plans to buy the mini 6 but I enjoy watching tech videos and learning new things. I appreciate this review so much more than all the others that bashed this device too quickly and very much unfairly. I love that you reviewed this device for what it is and not so much as in comparison to larger and/or more expensive devices. Your videos are some of my most fave. #TFS🙂
When will the apps get updates for the new aspect ratio? Those black bars at the sides are taking up too much space..
I love my Mini! I just bought one last weekend. I also bought the M1 Pro iPad when it came out this year. When the Mini came out I was so mad because I had been waiting forever for a Mini with Apple Pencil 2 support. So I’m going to take an L selling my M1 256 Cellular iPad Pro to a friend for $750. Apple was a jerk for that and they will only give $550 for a trade in. Even with the scaling issues the Mini is worth it just to be able to comfortably take it anywhere, and hold it in one hand. If I need a keyboard I use a slim folding keyboard by iClever.
I like the way you build your arguments and realistically explain your point. Advice without pretension, but with competence and based on experience. Thank you, that was interesting and informative.
Super grateful for the kind feedback. Thank you for being part of the channel!
I want this one to keep up with my construction projects. Pictures. (Not necessarily take pictures with it . Transfer from iPhone 12 max. ) keep up w my expenses. (Self employed). My kids have the regular iPads and I don’t pick them up. This seems like the right size to keep me on it. Pro is nice but I won’t want to pick tablets like a clipboard. Going for the 256gb at a discounted price.
I really like the mini 6. It’s my go to home device now over my 12 mini and 11in iPad Pro.
I bought my ipad air last March. My only dissapointment was not having the wide front camera n center stage...other than tht, im super happy with my ipad air. For my use, it is a laptop replacement.
Makes sense. The Air 4 is SO GOOD!!!
iPadOS scaling looks so bad on the mini 6 Home Screen. I returned mine and I prefer the 11”. I also prefer Face ID.
Strangely some functions in some of my apps just don’t work on my iPad mini, they work perfectly on my iPad Pro and iPad Air.
As for "jelly scrolling", I think scrolling in general must go. Not to mention my eyes hurt every time I need to scroll while looking for something specific, and I ultimately need to scroll and stop, then scroll and stop aging to see things without hurting my eyes. This is probably my own problem, but seriously. Let go of this concept already, people! This is faulty bullshit we all got caught in. I regret the moment they invented the scrollbar so much. I remember visiting a site where there was always a link in the footer of the page that I was looking for, but since they recently implemented this damn "infinite scrolling" thing, I couldn't reach it! I was scrolling for an eternity for it to finally stop loading shit and let me see the footer.
I haven't bought an iPad since the 1st generation iPad. I liked the mini, but said I wouldn't buy one unless it got the look of the Pro, and an USB C port.
Now it just has to show up.
The only thing it needs now is a 120 Hz OLED display.
Respect your opinion but I had a completely different experience, especially when it comes to panel quality. I couldn't notice jelly scrolling, but the uniformity and ghosting of the panel was a deal breaker and I ended up returning it. Otherwise I liked the size and the performance. The backlight wasn't even and the colors looked terribly washed out. Maybe I'm just an OLED acolyte, as I'm typing this from a Galaxy Tab S6 -- which doesn't have the style or speed of an iPad but has an unbelievable screen perfect for videos and content consumption. If there was an OLED iPad in the mini size, I would undoubtedly adore it!
I appreciate you sharing your experience and contributing to the community, Rob 🙏🏻
Now that we are waiting for the new iPad Pro and iPad Air to be released next year, I was wondering should I still get an iPad Air this year?
if you can wait then wait but if it’s urgent go get the current ipad air. i’m getting mine, i just pre-ordered since there were no stocks
As a Business Information technology student who is into graphic design and video editing. Should I get a ipad as a compliment with my laptop?
Thanks for this video! It's helping me decide which one I want. My only worry is will it be too small for my hands. But the iPad mini has everything i want. Plus gaming looks great on it.
I do not game but I see this as the perfect tablet for flying drones and traveling light for street photography.
Finally, a reviewer who actually suggest iPads based on their purpose. Just hate it the instance I see a reviewer wanting to throw a keyboard at iPad Mini and complain either there is no Apple accessory for it or the screen is too small.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Good video. I love iPad mini 6. As an illustrator great secondary device with my iPad Pro . Also a great companion with iPhone 12 Mini. It’s my fav Apple product of the year.👍
Thanks for sharing your actual experience Teresa! Appreciate you being part of the channel!
Great videos I like watching your reviews. However, you like the other top reviewers don’t seem to understand the padding around on the iPad mini. First of all it’s a iPadOS 15 problems, not the iPad mini. My regular iPad 8 and iPad mini 5 presented more padding when I updated. Yes the mini padding is more noticeable, but in the ipad 8 is also. Yes you get 6x5 rows still, but as you add widgets you lose a completely row. On iPadOS 14 this didn’t happen and I could have all my only 30 apps plus the endless scroll of the on screen widgets on the right, I love it, now it’s not the case.
I'm returning the mini 6 because I have an iPhone Pro Max, and I find myself using the iPhone instead. I'll replace it with an M1 iPad Pro so I can write...
(when will the iPhone support the Pencil?)
One "minor" complaint is that the Mini 6 battery life is really not great. Streaming videos EATS IT UP!
I dig the channel :-)
Super appreciate you sharing your perspective and experience!!! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Mini is the hands down best tablet for handheld gaming. Doesn’t matter what games, moba or shooters or just casual play
I think they need to put it to 8.5 for full size
Imma get it along with a matte screen protecter and a apple pencil
Small? I'd say, this iPad mini is very close to being "too big" for me. This is the maximum size I can tolerate for pocket device. I'd be glad if it was just a bit smaller actually, or if it had back cover the way previous iPad model was (would be easier to lift it from the table with one hand). If it's the bigger size you are after, there are other options for you, so please stop saying "too small".
I'm into marketing, I need my social media team to have a device that's slightly more useful than a cell phone, but way more portable than a laptop... This is a phenomenal device
Great content! Thumbs up.👍
I appreciate your continued support!!!
Can we get some top of the line application on ipad like whatsapp , Instagram, face book, tweeter, microsoft team and zoom ????
Bought the mini 6, really liked it but 64gb isn’t enough storage and refused to pay for the 256 model, took it back and exchanged for a mini 5 with 256gb on sale at Walmart for way less.
Fantastic decision. With screen flaws, limited battery life and platry 64 GB your mind has surely won over your heart.
Mini Pro would be nice
What would you add to it? ProMotion? What else.
@@TechGearTalkLate comment here, but an M series chip and a larger base storage would do the trick, and Pro motion or mini led would not hurt. With the new M chips, you could use a docked mini as your primary device and then use it as a tablet, and also as a phone with cellular. It’s more about the Ram and the overall performance with the M series, because obviously we can already dock the mini as it is, but it would probably struggle with Final Cut and Logic or Affinity on a 4k or 5k external monitor.
Would be great to have one ultimately portable tablet with the same Ram and power as the larger tablet but with the form factor everyone loves with the mini. Same reasoning behind the Pro Max iPhone really. Small form factor doesn’t need to mean less power anymore.
i just got a pro 11" today (actually i got one on wednesday and it already died... and it was my first ever ipad so i was really upset about it... but they replaced it today so it's okay i guess, only lost like an hour of art stuff so it's not a huge deal, i hadn't even set up things like email on it yet so it was NEW) and i feel like if i had gotten a 12.9 pro i'd love a mini as a second device
i liked it a lot in the store, but right now i only have the money to afford one (well, i guess two, since they had me return the original and buy a new one.... my bank account is NOT happy right now 😬because the refund hasn't come through yet) and i thought an 11" would be a happy medium of sorts
The 12.9 inch ipad i have is not big enough
When they make it 18 inches ill be good
What do you mostly use your iPad for for?
@@TechGearTalk note-taking, anatomy apps, medical terminolgy, science classes.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the whole concept of tablet is for a more portable form of computer and in way is 18 inch portable just get a desktop 😅
@@fizziefizzer i do stuff that most desktops suck at such as notetaking, anatomy apps, syncing. I use my note 20 ultra and ipad for these things unless i have to do a proctored exam ir smtg i use my lenovo laptop. Notablity, goodnotes these are optimized apps only on apple devices. What does windows have equivalent to that non. One note is trash tbh.
@@starr5190 yea but the idea of an 18 inch tablet bruh that ain't a tablet that's a TV 😂
What wallpaper are you using on your ipad mini at 0:26? looks amazing
im trying to pick between this or the 2021 10.2
I already own a large Samsung tablet, so the mini is perfectly sized for me when I am out for reading or watching videos.
hi TGT, is it possible for you to review the xiaomi pad 5? and a comparison between that and ipad mini 6/ipad 9 would be great, thank you
3:59… what the hell is that green thing!?
Virtually every pilot I know use them
Agreed. I don’t understand the negativity surrounding the mini either - it has the same premise as the old one, but is better! One use case that I did not foresee is connecting it to my Thunderbolt 4 hub (OWC) to get access to my external drives and monitor. I now get a large screen experience for productivity and creative apps.
Any lag in 4k video editing?
Can anyone share there experince of usinh this ipad for using daily microsft related applications such as excel, powerpoint and word..please shre your experinces
Can you tell me if I can make notes and marks on a PDF document on the iPad Mini 6 with the Apple Pencil (I mean certainly beyond just adding a signature to a PDF)? Thanks!
it would be nicer if apple put a oled display on the mini
How do you like this vs the surface go 3 ? Both about the same price and I'm going to use them for photo and video editing if that helps.
Wow, they are so different. I'll have to think about it and do a video
Maybe the iPad Pro should have 3 or 2 ports
I wrote this in another video. I genuinely loooooove my Air 4 with the magic keyboard and since I’m the type of person who needs my iPad with me literally EVERYWHERE, it does weigh like a brick and its a challenge for me to bring it outside. I have small cute bags that I love using but after I got my Air 4 I stopped using those bags anymore coz my iPad doesn’t fit in them.
I’m getting the iPad mini 6 soon, don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with my Air 4 and I will still use it at home (im not an iPad Pro person based on my usage) but bringing something that weighs like a brick out 24/7 and everywhere you go is a problem for me everyday.
Gaming wise I play Genshin Impact & Pokémon Unite and it’s difficult to play the game with a bigger screen coz the buttons tend to be placed too far apart.
Please do ipad mini 6 and ipad air 4 charging speed plz plz
Tough decision when it comes to buying a tablet.
I waited for years for a powerful mini, small, powerhouse of a tablet, android or iOS that wasn’t budget bullshit.
Apple won. And this is the first apple product I’ve ever owned.
Apple definitely knocked it out of the park with the iPad mini (6th generation). It is powerful, yet portable at the same time. The only Android option available right now is the Galaxy Z Fold3. I know that the Z Fold3 is a foldable phone, but I think it’s the closest we are going to get in terms of a Galaxy Tab mini.
Does it get warm when playing games?
Warm, yes. Hot, not in my experience.
Just asking: would you rather recommend a iPad or a MacBook to a student?
It comes down to what you need. If you need desktop apps, and you're going to be doing a lot of typing - I like a laptop better. But if you want portability, touchscreen and apple pencil functionality - iPad.
@@TechGearTalk Thanks but what laptop/mac would you recommend?
@@vedantiyer2213 M1 MacBook Air is the best VALUE laptop on the market
This Tablet is like a Compact Smartphone btw. But, yeah the iPad 9 is still what I like
Just my opinion
Glad the 9 works well for you!
The market for ipad mini is Not for youtubers and graphic designers. Its for students , doctors, lawyers , engineers The people who need it on the Go. RUclipsrs should not review ipad minis.
I don't think you know what the term "optical illusion" means, because that absolutely isn't one.
Within visual perception, an optical illusion is an illusion caused by the visual system and characterized by a visual percept that arguably appears to differ from reality.
@@TechGearTalk cool story, but unfortunately the only thing that differs from reality here the claims you made in the video. The mini has noticeably more padding on the homescreen, it’s not even close.
Thanks for proving my point, this went poorly for you.
The best iPad ever can u fit an any other ipad on your pocket ? no. i Signed of.
mini is great only for who gaming
why am I watching this I can't even afford it😂😂😂😂😂
Hey
Hey
The iPad Mini is for people who want a smaller form factor and portability. It delivers on that immersive experience *without* needing both hands
I agree
I will do my sketches and thumbnails on the mini and air drop them to my 12.9 pro to finish 👍
@@M_harch you rich person you..
@@Shane-zx4ps I wish! I just make poor financial decisions 😂
@@M_harch only joking dude, I have an apple laptop iPhone iwatch and iPad Pro 12.9”, a fool and his money eh…
0:25 “The iPad mini is to small. And well yeh i mean it’s - it’s called a mini”
Hilarious, thanks for giving me a laugh today. Thanks for the review Sagi, I’m tempted.
Glad I could make you laugh! Thank you for the support!
DONT BUY IT THEN LET OTHER S ENJOY IT THEN WHY YOU CAME HERE FOR? 🤔
I’m getting one soon
For me it was absolute blessing. It was far more than I could have hoped for, my studying habits improved immensely. The screen is perfectly sized in my opinion.
Thanks for mentioning studying habits.. I have just ordered mine.. and dis was the only factor I was concerned about ..
@@Abhicoco How do you feel about this iPad now? I want to buy it for studying, mainly notetaking.
I just recently discovered your channel. Thank you for having such thorough reviews. I find myself repeating your saying, "Buy it nice, or buy it TWICE!"
Thanks for watching! So glad you found the channel and that my "saying" makes sense! Appreciate you being part of the channel!
I love love love love my iPad mini . I have the air too , which I used as sidecar with the MacBook or as a laptop. But the portability from the mini like being able to take notes while you are working even from you car is totally worth the cost
I really appreciate the input Alina. Great illustration of the value.
Hey can I go with 64 or 256?
I have confusion
Thank you for making this it’s a great video and it annoyed me when people complain their iPad or phone is too small . Just get a bigger phone
Glad it resonated with you. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Phone & tablet size has disproportionately risen lately when they were always originally intended to be small, the iPhone mini 13 & the iPad mini 6 are the perfect combination of fully functioning lightweight powerful products in a compact portable format, expensive yes but totally unique & niche.
The convenience and portability with the ability to tether from my iPhone makes it perfect for me if you just want that slightly bigger screen out and about, still undecided over the battery docent last too long but early days.
Great videos especially the Canon M50.
I really appreciate your videos and that you answer the comments. Thanks for always putting a lot of information and thought into your content. You address things I sometimes would overlook.
I always appreciate your input and feedback. Thanks for being part of the channel! 👊🙏
Great review. I’m absolutely in love with my mini. I also find that I reach for it more than my other devices. The size is a perfect middle ground between my 12 Pro max which bothers my eyes, and my iPad Pro 11” which is to big and heavy to take comfortably on the go.
I have never had an iPad before, but my mom had a 10.2" Galaxy Tab. I think it would have been too big for me (I tried it several times) I don't like the screen size and the portability, but that iPad mini 6 is clearly the missing piece between my 13" laptop and my iPhone 12 mini. 😁
That's good perspective!
@@TechGearTalk Actually this iPad mini makes me think a bit deeper about my personal use of different devices. I already have a laptop, then the idea for me, is to avoid buying too much accessories. My iPad mini doesn't have to be another laptop and it's important for me to separate my devices, just like some people need to separate their personal life from their work… 😅
The one thing i liked better about my mini than the 11” pro i traded it in for was the volume button automatic orientation. Really hope they can add that to other iPads via software update.
I sold my 11 inch iPad Pro M1 with Logitech Combo Touch keyboard for the iPad mini 6 since I already have the Macbook Air M1 for work. I wanted to use the M1 iPad for work but ended using it for gaming so it only makes sense to get the mini for my gaming desires and I've been loving it because it also becomes my EDC while it can also handle my work albeit not as comfortable as the larger iPad + keyboard case
Thanks for this info. I'm struggling if i get ipad pro or mini with pencil . Now, i will not going to cancel my order in ipad mini 6
@@recnelizgaming if you already have a portable device for work, it makes more sense to get the mini for your media consumption and a bit of mobile work. If you game, you will absolutely love this device. Only thing I miss about the pro is the 120Hz, and maybe the extra RAM. Other than that, it's more than enough
Hey Tech Gear Talk. Thanks so much for helping me decide on which iPad I want to buy. You really helped me and I especially love your iPad 9 vs. iPad Mini video. It helped since I want to start doing digital art and decided to get an iPad. When I heard the iPad 9 had air gap (screen not being laminated) on it I knew that would immediately effect how I draw. So I decided to buy the iPad mini. Once again thanks so much for helping me chose. By the way sorry this comment is so long.
love it as a concept idea and everything, but sadly I had to return 2 units back to Apple thanks to pressure distortion issues with the display, the 1st time it was only at the right side of the screen, then 2nd time the display distortion was everywhere...very disappointing.. if the issue persists with the 3rd replacement Ill be getting a refund as this is not acceptable... when I was taking notes with the Apple Pencil 2 it was just horrible... ripples almost all over...disappointing
I appreciate you sharing your perspective and insights! Let me know what happens.
Oh wow mine is awesome idk what happened
@@elise7485 still waiting for the “repair” it’s just bs, my unit probably got backlogged or something.. been waiting over a week and last two times I spoke on the phone they couldn’t tell me more than that it’s been looked up… meh, I have very low expectations at this point.
Thinking of just accepting the fact that it won’t work the way I want it to.
Air 4 and Mini 6 come at same price. Which one would you suggest?
Quick question what is that you used to look at speakers 3:57
Seriously. That was the coolest part of the whole video. I can’t believe no one else is curious about that.
I just ordered my iPad Mini 6 and this cleared all my doubts. Thanks!
CONGRATS! Glad I could HELP. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Me too. Waiting to get it around December 15 (ordered october 13) i takes 2 months 😵
It*
@@recnelizgaming wow, that's a long wait. I ordered on the same date but its expected to arrive around Nov 21. Country: Malaysia.
@@recnelizgaming I just ordered a mini 6 on Tuesday and it’s due to arrive next week
Great video. Love the Mini and I really don’t get it why someone even buys iPad Mini if they believe it is too small….
Right... it's not really a secret that it's small
Great perspectives that are helping me zero in on a model! I only recently regained an interest in iPads (owned one many years ago). Now I have gotten into some iOS gaming and suddenly have realized that my IPhone12 Pro's screen feels a bit cramped and has me wanting a bigger screen. Some apps can be played on my M1 MacBook Pro, but not the one I'm playing apparently. After watching your review I am now thinking the Mini 6 might be the right device for me. Thanks and by the way, I love your channel!
The biggest problem with the ipad mini is it’s price. With some more memory it even comes close to the ipad pro in price 😳. The first ipad mini started at 220 € which was a no brainer to buy and well worth it.
10-2021 I have a 6th gen. iPad with Apple Pencil. I want to upgrade to the 6th gen. iPad mini. I am choosing the iPad mini 2021 because I like the price being less expensive than the iPad Air and better internals with Apple Pencil 2 over the 9th gen. iPad. As a hobby artist I also like the laminated screen of the iPad mini. I absolutely love that the 6th gen. iPad mini has USB-type C. I dislike lightning connector.
