The bezels are obviously there so u can actually hold the tablet instead of accidentally touching the display or something, the iPhone 15 pro and 16Pro’s reduced bezels is okay cos you don’t hold ur iPhone like the way u hold your iPad or tablet, even the iPad Pro’s don’t have those tiny bezel’s for the same obvious reasons.
This ipad min 7 with cellular is perfect for me coming from ipad mini5 the reasons are - i want to use apple intelligence but my iphone is iphone 14 pro max and it's not supported and i still love my phone and running so well and fast so i dont want to replace it - my phone would save much battery because ill use it only for communication and for photos and video recording - ipad mini is a better option for me because with the larger display i can watch my netflix, reading e-books and manga and other media and social activities - i dont need to bring my power bank because having two device can divide the usage so it can helped to lessen the battery drain of my devices - ipad mini is so portable and lightweight that i can put it on my tomtoc sling bag 11" btw i trade-in my 5yr/old ipad mini 5 64gb worth 200$ so i only paid for the new ipad mini 7 256gb with cellular 5g is around 550$, and it's a good deal for me.
Upgraded from the 2019 5th Gen. it’s the form factor that works for me, and really complements my iPhone 13 Mini. Just wish it came in the same Product Red colour. Thanks for the content.
I liked the size and portability of the new mini but had to return it. The display really stressed my eyes, especially while scrolling. I went with the m4 pro 11” instead and loving it.
Anyone complaining about the iPad mini design is funny, cos all the iPad models in the line up has had the same design for some years. Especially the iPad pro. From 2018-2024 has been the same design. Only difference is the camera placements, faster chips, ports and better displays. iPad Air from Air 4-Air 6 has been the exact same, only faster chips and ports with the inclusion of a bigger display option this year. iPad mini design has been okay so what the problem, the base iPad design has been okay and would stay that way for years. People must and will always complain about things that are so insignificant, for example the power button in the Mac mini been under, not a problem for the actual buyers but those who aren’t even ever gonna buy one are complaining. They all buggin.
I made it! Great video as always. I went to the store and touched the iPad mini and played around with it but it was just too small for me to do anything with it. Lol But it is still a very powerful tool.
HDR is what I miss the most compared to other Apple devices. I’d take an OLED panel over 120hz easy. I don’t want the 11”/12.9” form factor so it’s pretty annoying that there’s no mini “pro” iPad with a better panel. I’ll probably never watch a movie on this thing because of the screen, but overall I still really like it.
The problem is people looking for pro features on an iPad mini. If u want that, get the iPad Pro 11inch and stop disturbing everyone. Even Andriod tablet manufacturers don’t make that. So they should stop asking for what Apple wouldn’t make. The last mini iPhone didn’t do so well they were the same ones that asked for it and when it came they didn’t get it. They think Apple would be stupid to repeat that mistake again. Never. They won’t make products for a niche audience that won’t even end up getting it. It’s a Tech company not a Santa Claus Tech wish company. If u want a smaller pro iPad with all the pro specs get the iPad Pro 11inch, be happy and stop complaining.
U missing some part. İpad mini users bought ipad mini for portability. And they can want pro features too. If they go with 11 inch, there is no portability anymore.
@@MertSe32 So why are they complaining then? Cos it’s pissing everyone off. They want all the M4 iPad Pro features for $500 or even less than it. Some have said they want it fot $350 and I’m like are you kidding or just stup!d. I see it as no one pushed them to get the $500 iPad mini 6 or 7, so they should stop acting like they don’t know what it has and they can as well go for the iPad Pro m2 or M4. If you have ur money then go for it and stop complaining. Most Ask for what even android manufacturers can’t do. They should name an Andriod tablet with the power of A15 Bionic and features of the iPad mini 2021, not to talk of the A17 pro in the iPad 2024, although not the full A17 pro but it smokes most flagship chipsets, not talk of budget or midrange options. They want pro level 120hz, meanwhile most android tablets put versions of high refresh rate displays for specs purposes. I’ve used a cheaper and midrange 90 and 120hz, it wasn’t good. I rather get a good 60hz display than a 90hz that only works sometimes or in specific apps only. Oled legit just came to the iPad Pro’s and they want it on the mini, what a joke.
I call bullshit, the problem is comments like yours that justify the incredible greediness of Apple 🥁 They could quite easily put a 90 or 120hz panel without raising the price.
i love using the ipad mini to stream games from my gaming pc, the screen feels huge when you're holding it up to your face, i have a joycon mount to use the controllers i already have from my switch and it's great. i do wish it was oled though! but they don't even have oled on the macbook pros haha so it's not surprising.
Watching this on my mini 7😊. It was an upgrade from my mini 4. Long term it seemed a better option for me to get that with the Apple Intelligence, as opposed to upgrading my iPhone 13, which I only bought last year. I really don’t get the hate from some you tubers as there is no oled panel or M4 chip. Whilst there is no excuse for not giving us an oled screen, the reason they have chosen an A17 Pro chip over an M chip for the new I pad could have been the thermal issues. The were issues with the A17 pro chip being used in the 15 Pro and Pro Max last year. As the I pad is a larger body those issues may be eliminated. What if the M chips had issues in the Mini 7 that you wouldn’t get in the Air or Pro iPads as they are larger?
I love the new iPad mini 7. I’m using it alongside my M4 13 which is my main computer and my iPhone 13 mini but I can understand that it’s a niche device. Nevertheless, for people that love small devices it’s a very nice addition to the mini line in Apple's lineup
if they did not change the screen coming from the iPad mini 6 and the Apple Pencil pro and the hover feature works, does this mean they could have been able to enable that hover feature with a software update since the Apple Pencil 2 supported that feature with previous iPad pros?
No OLED screen ruins it for me…. typically when you’re buying an apple product, you’re buying it because you know it’s top tier everything so that LCD with the huge bezel like some cheap Amazon Basics tablet would bug the hell out of me. LED screens are OK but they’re not OK for an apple bar is very high and that’s just unacceptable for an apple product win for the same price. You can get a full-size dedicated gaming tablet that runs android with a big beautiful screen and quad speakers and just overpowered hardware….. when you look at its competition and then you find out this has an LCD screen that just seems so unacceptable
Your review is always on point👍👍, now i feel like i can stop watching more review for my buying decision (i've been a little bit depress because of that)
Ugh, seriously. With the Snapdragon x elite now rolling out, why can't samsung finally make an ipad mini competitor. Literally just make a mini version of the tab s10+ and they'd be good
I took mine back after playing with one in the shop. As I hadn’t opened to box they gave me a full refund along with the pencil pro and apple care. I couldn’t get the jelly scrolling and blurring when scrolling out of my head after using iPad and iPhone Pros for years. My optician explained some people’s eyes to brains are wired to detect motion more readily than others. Guess we are from the hunter gatherers gene pool. My wife cannot see the blurring on her old Air 2 for example and that has far less jelly scrolling effects than the mini 6 and 7. So does my old mini 2. My recommendation would be a new 11 in iPad Pro, especially if like me you have access to educational discounts. Everything about an M4 iPad Pro 11 is better on user experience and it’s not much heavier. Even my 2 yr old 16/2TB iPad Pro 11 slays the iPad mini. Add a Magic Keyboard and away you go. Until they produce an M series, 120hz, small bezel, better speakers and mic version i.e. an iPad mini pro, it’s not for me and I guess many professional level users. Since I have a 15 pro max phone that I can read papers and stuff in landscape mode, a minis only advantage is the pencil. For me I still use high quality pens and paper for notes then just scan in the keepers. Using the latest version of Apple notes is also fine for most use cases. The mini is useful for restaurants, bars and pilots where screen quality isn’t so much of an issue. It’s not really a pro tool.
I agree with a lot of positive features and form factor of this iPad. But we all need to stop pretending that many people are buying new Apple products because of this promised half baked 💩 they called Apple intelligence. Do i hope that after more than a decade it would be refreshing to have Siri answer anything different than “ look at what I found on the web! “- yes. Also the picture object eraser that every single android has had for a while is useful. But not many things are as useless and asinine than “ creative writing tools” it’s an absolute and utter joke. I’m not sure if Apple is trolling or they’re genuinely bad at it. WTF wants to have their texts interpreted by shitty AI or reword your emails to what it considers more professional or “ funny “. Cause everyone knows nothing is more funny than AI generated responses. Is this feature made for illiterate people or is it made for the people so lazy that they’d rather have some dubious AI interpreting what they meant. Apple just think we’re utterly f’n dumb, cause I can’t come up with another explanation other than they dropped the ball completely. And to top it all off, not only is the whole thing arguably utter trash, but they can’t even roll it out properly, it’s been over two months of them pumping out commercials that would make you 100% sure that the features are included in the new Apple products, meanwhile it’s still months and months away from even being ready. An utter fiasco all around. Scott Forstall was pushed out for making subpar Apple Maps but at least they’ve had the decency to ship it with the new iOS update at the time, whomever is in charge of Apple “ intelligence “ makes Scott Forstall look like Steve Jobs himself. Utter embarrassment
Android guy here. I love the Mini 7. I own a Samsung Z Flip 6 and will likely never switch to an iPhone mainly because Apple is boring and no longer an innovator imo. Apple is a cash cow money machine. That said, the Mini 7 is a great tablet - shockingly fast, portable and rock solid. The battery life could be better. It's not bad but it never lasts me 10 hours. Ever. However Apps work flawlessly on it, the screen rez is nice and websites and streaming services look and act fantastic. I changed the Setting so that websites don't see it as a mobile device. BOOM! No longer are sites constantly asking me if I want to switch to their sh-tty ad infested apps. The Mini 7 serves its purpose perfectly and is an extremely light weight, compact, super fast and reliable tablet that so far works flawlessly. Kudos to Apple!

paperlike sponsor on an ipad video is always inevitable

LOL, they gotta make their money, can’t blame them 😂
shows that Paperlike has its reach no matter how big (or small) RUclipsr channels are.

The bezels are obviously there so u can actually hold the tablet instead of accidentally touching the display or something, the iPhone 15 pro and 16Pro’s reduced bezels is okay cos you don’t hold ur iPhone like the way u hold your iPad or tablet, even the iPad Pro’s don’t have those tiny bezel’s for the same obvious reasons.
The Ipad Pro's have thinner bezels though, hence your point is in the air.
@ he wanted bezels as thin as the bezels on the iPhone 16 pro’s so what’s up in the Air? Did u even read the comment or watch the video?
its because ipad pro is bigger so the bezels looks thinner@@whoever_81
This ipad min 7 with cellular is perfect for me coming from ipad mini5 the reasons are
- i want to use apple intelligence but my iphone is iphone 14 pro max and it's not supported and i still love my phone and running so well and fast so i dont want to replace it
- my phone would save much battery because ill use it only for communication and for photos and video recording
- ipad mini is a better option for me because with the larger display i can watch my netflix, reading e-books and manga and other media and social activities
- i dont need to bring my power bank because having two device can divide the usage so it can helped to lessen the battery drain of my devices
- ipad mini is so portable and lightweight that i can put it on my tomtoc sling bag 11"
btw i trade-in my 5yr/old ipad mini 5 64gb worth 200$ so i only paid for the new ipad mini 7 256gb with cellular 5g is around 550$, and it's a good deal for me.
This was honestly the best review i've seen of the iPad Mini 7 so far
Why’d you say that? 🙏
@ i watched about 20. This guy got to the point and addressed everything you need to know in a very digestible manner.
Bought mine two weeks ago and have been loving it
Your videos are getting better! Im patiently waiting for my ipad mini as well!
You need the bezels so you have something to hold onto.
Wondered why smaller bezels on the pro 11 function , and have no issues when holding ? You sure that’s the reason..
@@nickdadonyou have more space to hold onto it
the anxity from seeing the ipad Mini at 3% battery!!
Upgraded from the 2019 5th Gen. it’s the form factor that works for me, and really complements my iPhone 13 Mini. Just wish it came in the same Product Red colour.
Thanks for the content.

Quite right if Apple had put all the features that people are asking for on the iPad mini 7,the price would go sky high

i have a ipad 8th gen and i want this for Christmas i been having this for 5 years so this will be a big upgrade for me :)
Trade in or sell your iPad and invest in an M4 iPad Pro 11in, it’s far better in every way.
I like the idea of iPad mini 7. I wlll buy it.
What do you think of the new iPad mini? :)
I love the new iPad mini 7. I’m using it alongside my M4 13 which is my main computer and my iPhone 13 mini but I can understand that it’s a niche device. Nevertheless, for people that love small devices it’s a very nice addition to the mini line in Apple's lineup
Used it for a few weeks and love it
iPad Pro 2018 to this is that a downgrade?
I wanted to love it so bad. I’ve been waiting on it but I just can’t do it.

I love it
Are you a WiFi or cellular data kinda person?
I love mine!
What's the show/movie at 4:54 ?
Shrinking on Apple TV+. With Harrison Ford and Jason Segel.
Watching this on the iPad mini 7 I just bought it because got educational discount 😂
I think its a good equipment but too pricey, being more expensive than the air model sometimes
Your review is always on point👍👍, now i feel like i can stop watching more review for my buying decision (i've been a little bit depress because of that)
Hated mine, exchanged it for an iPad Air.
i saw how you read the text

No 120 Hz display and no 256 gigs to begin with.
It's a no-go
It's 2024. So atleast match up instead of playing catch up
Không xứng đáng để nâng cấp,apple không còn quan tâm đến nhãn hiệu mini😢
