Hey Brad! this is really cool content. As ive mentioned before yea its an art channel, but dabbling in video games (which id argue is art as well lol) and how these devices you review can run games and other programs, is beneficial for a lot of people. Not everyone will use an ipad for just art, or just one particular thing, sometimes its nice to see that these devices handle other tasks well and really helps with making purchasing decisions. Some may find this review thinking "oh hey an ipad mini for drawing, meh maybe not" but then all of a sudden "Oh wait it can game too!" IDK just my opinion but I think integrating some of these little extra features and usage of these devices on your channel can really help some people out looking for content to help them make a decision on what are very expensive products.
Covering this that are a little off for the channel also keeps it interesting for me and gives me a chance to learn about stuff I otherwise wouldn't do a deep dive into.
Not sure if anyone's mentioned it -- but the A17Pro chip in the iPad Mini is NOT the same A17Pro chip as was in the iPhone 15 Pro: it is a "binned" chip, missing one of the 6 GPU cores the 15 Pro has (5 GPU cores on the iPad Mini). That's why it's stuttering; missing significant graphics power compared to the phone.
This was a welcome crossover. Most art channels stay away from gaming (they're "artiste" after all and have no time for "silly games" 🤣) and most gaming channels stay away from art (most legit have zero art inclinations) so it's always almost a stab in the dark trying to see if any device would do both well. Thanks for giving both perspectives.
RUclipsrs are strongly encouraged to stay in a single lane because the algorithm will only recommend their "main" content and branching off can legit cause you to lose visibility. Also gaming content honestly sucks for creators in general, it's extremely hard to get established with it and requires a level of investment that's just not justified by the returns.
@@KyussTheWalkingWorm Yes, I've heard that but I wasn't recommending Brad switch over to gaming but it's nice that he mentioned it. Most art tech equipment isn't gaming-capable anyway.
7:15 It works on iOS, Apple just arbitrarily doesn't allow App store developers to use JIT, meanwhile their own Safari browser gets special permission to use JIT. When you enable JIT with other unofficial methods like Altstore, iOS can play stuff like Dolphin emulator and even emulate OSes like Windows 11 full speed. It's only Apple who arbitrarily doesn't allow it.
I really want JIT to be enabled. I have ditched my personal laptop and am carrying just my ipad and a work laptop around due to all the travelling that's involved in my job. I really enjoyed PS2 emulation on my laptop and would love to see that on my ipad pro. Also with UTM I feel like Ubuntu would be usable on Ipad pro and I could actually use it as a desktop replacement with a monitor and a keyboard if I ever need a desktop
It's important to note that the A17 Pro in the Mini 7 isn't 1:1 identical to the iPhones version. The Mini 7 "only" has 5 GPU cores instead of 6 in the phone. Still 25% better than the Mini 6, but could explain the stuttering in games. Maybe just not optimized for it yet.

Ok, that tip on streaming PC games onto another device is what I've been looking for for YEEEEEEARS. and to think I found it by watching this video out of curiosity (I have an iPad pro 13 inch with no plans of buying the iPad mini). Thank you for making this video!
Thanks for making this video, I’ve been on the fence about an IPad mini for school / drawing, but seeing the performance while gaming is genuinely good I’m a bit more convinced

Great video! I’ve been looking more into “entertainment tech” in addition to “functional tech” and it was great to see an in-depth review from a creator I already enjoy. It’s about time to retire my 6y/o iPad Pro and this seems like a reasonable option.
Brad if possible and if it doesn't take up any real time can you do a review on the iPad mini in terms of zbrush usage? Can't seem to find anything on it so far.
I love any video having to do with the mini. The stuttering of the game was disappointing… I believe in the incredible potential of the iPad mini specifically taking Apple to extreme heights for mobile gaming and also handheld gaming. It’s the perfect form factor. It’s a shame they just don’t give it the pro treatment and give it hand me down chips that are nerfed… it really needs a better display.
Hi brad! LOVE the content man! I cant wait to see you do a review on the new xp pen 24 inch tablets! Im curious how good they will be! Keep up the great work, Much love!
A little hint regarding streaming, there are GREAT forks of both Sunshine and Moonlight that allow for a more usable experience! Apollo, a fork of Sunshine allows for out-of-box multi-monitor setup using your secondary device. And then there's Moonlight-ZWM, which allows for multi-touch and shortcut support after connecting it to your PC, genuinely great, solves the pinch-to-zoom issue of the regular Moonlight, when trying to use it with your PC drawing programs, for example!

its the same as mini 6 cause no 120hz refresh and no 240hz touch response rate
@@JaelLo-uu3zm yeah that’s what I found out, but the new one is compatible with the Pencil PRO
@@rafaelrios5228 do you really need the pencil pro? if yes good for you
@@JaelLo-uu3zm The mini 7 supports Ray Tracing, and touch response is moot when using a game pad. Also, better GPU and faster wifi for game streaming.
Would love to see your art-style in a point and click adventure! Your work always reminds me of fond memories.
That would be so much fun. One of my original inspirations was the game Day of the Tentacle which had amazing art direction back in the day.
Hey! There’s nothing better than diving into gaming reviews, and your take on it is so fun to watch! Loving the fresh perspective!
That Sunshine/Moonlight thing is insane!! WHATTTT?????? Download that right now 😅 Thanks Brad! (Also, great chat just now 😉)
Yeah, A lot of times I stream my games from the PC more than sitting at my desk because sitting at my desk feels like work 😂
With the game streaming, don’t forget that the new iPad mini has wifi 6e. So you’ll have better connectivity with a 6e router.
Hmm, maybe it's time to look into a router upgrade.
@@thebradcolbow Just pickup a Wifi 7 device. Similar prices better performance

Brad if possible and if it doesn't take up any real time can you do a review on the iPad mini in terms of zbrush usage? Can't seem to find anything on it so far.
I'd like to see how the Lenovo y700 tablet does drawing!
And the Redmagic Nova Tablets, which also have console mode!
Metaphor ReFantazio is a game of the year contender. Excellent game.
Came from Minus Sixteen podcast. Bruh this one video stopped me from chucking iPad mini 7 in the bin. I mention you in my next video, dropping soon.
How do you remote play with the Ipad !??
That AC Mirage gameplay was just rough.
The only problem buying games on mobile is the update. They will no longer work in many IOS updates later like Resident Evil 4 mobile

Brad, the best Apple Arcade game they don’t really advertise is Taiko Drum Master: Pop Tap Beat. Really good game.
Hi brad! LOVE the content man! I cant wait to see you do a review on the new xp pen 24 inch tablets!
Im curious how good they will be!
Keep up the great work, Much love!
You have amazing taste in games
What is better for 2d aninations?
Tab s6 lite or tab s9 fe ( or fe+)?
Why does the AAA games shown stuttered? Is the iPad mini not powerful enough?
For streaming why not just use stream link? Instead of sunshine etc
Can the Razer Kishi Ultra charge the iPad mini and does it provide a headphone jack?
Yes on both. There is a headphone jack and a USB-c port for charging
In the first review of the ipad mini 2024 you used an special sort of grips on the sides on the ipad. Which model is it that you then use?
Does it get hot while you are charging it during gaming? 🤔
Any chance you will be reviewing the ASUS zenbook S14 soon?
What games do you guys recommend that are not too complicated?
hey man, dont know if you know but steam has a cloud service already, its called steam link, but i dont know how good it is.
Hi Brad, I have an iPad Pro 11 but I’m tempted to get this mini because of portability what do you think?
Can I play rdr2 on new iPad mini without a council or pc? Can I play it through Stem?
Now, I have a reason to get an ipad!~
Wow, sad that Mirage actually froze a few times in your gameplay around the 3:50 mark.
Okay Brad I see you. Lmao not the crossover I expected Brad Tech Tips today 😂
😂😂😂

I'm surprised Brad hasn't covered any 8.8 inch Android tablets that isn't a Samsung S6.
Mostly because they doesn't have pen support

Assassin Creed on your iPad looks like it’s struggling.
Not interested in gaming on my mini but watching cuz it’s Mr. Colbow.
The bazzelz 😂😂😂😂 damn first sec i was just like who the hell review ipad 2018 😂😂😂
Game pass has a native app at the same time they allowed emulators.
Awesome video...
But still...
No Micro SD-card Slot Option or support...
Android side...:
Lenovo legion Y700 2023
AllDoCube Iplay 50 mini...60 mini...60 turbo

watching him play assassin's creed with lag spikes every two seconds is all you need to know.
Genshin impact 🔥
60 Hz screen is a big no from me
Unexpected review lol
Fun!
This a17 pro is actually not as powerful as the iphone 15 pro A17

That assassins creed game runs as bad as it did on the iphone 😂
Gaming 😂
Bbbut.... Can you draw on it... Hmmmm😏?
