    I can thoroughly relate to this video. I just sold my 12.9 iPad Pro to get this. Most people may think I’m crazy, but honestly, as soon as I got my MacBook Air my iPad Pro became unnecessary. I plan on using it for media consumption, reading, gaming, notes, and as a digital sketchbook. I think that this device will work perfectly for those things! You gotta use what works best for you…

      @@markbubb9902 yeah, I would at least downgrade to an iPad Air. Because the larger iPad Pros don’t really offer anything more than a MacBook Air, it quickly makes them obsolete once you have one. Even when it comes to drawing and art, I readily choose my Wacom tablet and my MacBook Air over my iPad Pro. The downgrade was totally worth it for me.

      Good to hear i am not alone, since i got the macbook air i stopped using the ipad pro or if i do carrying both of them is too much, so i got the mini and thinking of selling the pro . Are you still happy with your decision or do you miss the pro ?

      UPDATE: After spending some time with the mini (which I loved!!), I ended up bumping back up to the 11” Pro. I wanted the Air but got a better deal on the Pro at the time. The main reason for the switch was the fact that the mini was a bit small for using Sidecar. I’m a a Graphic Designer/Digital Artist and using Sidecar with my MacBook Air was a necessity. I just couldn’t get around that with the mini and it’s honestly the only reason that I switched. I still believe for most people the Mini is the best iPad.

    I am a retired network engineer and decided to down size so to speak. I traded my iPad Pro 2020 for the iPad mini 6/cellular. The only option I miss between the two is Face ID. I use the iPad mini 6 as my daily computer, photo/video editing, email, spreadsheet and even my planetarium app when I am out in the field with my telescope, as well as content consumption and reading. I like the mobility vs. the iPad Pro 11”, I also couldn’t justify owning two iPads. All in all I am happy with my decision.

    I use the iPad Pro 12.9 (now M2!) for major work. I use my iPad Mini for reading, research, and flagging things for read later. It is the perfect reader straddling the line between Kindle and iPad. On top of that it is viable VOIP phone with Vonage, Skype, and using my iPhone via WiFi. I like to read a book with the audio book on as well. Total immersion. Fits in the pocket so no one notices you taking an iPad to the bathroom! Heh!

    iPad mini FTW. I love the mini because it gets full iPadOS in a small form factor. I can do more on iPadOS than iOS especially within the multitasking. I use my iPad as a digital media journal entertainment device. It’s the first thing I pick up and the last thing I put down daily. It’s just perfect when traveling and as a companion device to my laptop and phone. It’s my favorite product Apple sells.

Officially, I'm training myself to pick up my Mini first instead of my iPhone. It's turning into my favourite device by a mile in such a short period.

      @@aalikes7 very cool! However I just noticed that after 6 months, Apple has changed everything. The mini no longer receives full versions of iPadOS thanks to the M1 chips in iPads. I’m actually surprised I’m not upset by this as many are. I don’t use my iPad as a laptop replacement, I use the mini as a tablet and I think it’s brilliant of Apple to target those audiences that are hoping for the iPad to become everything they need for computing.

      @@Juhsentuh I see & that's a bit of a shame for Apple to do that. In your usage, I can see why you wouldn't care for all the features that the iPadOS offers. I agree. I use the Mini like a tablet as well. The Mini serves as an in-between for me; it's not intentionally purchased to replace my iPhone, iPad Pro, or my Mac. That would be futile for me. I see people selling their iPad Pros & MacBook Airs in lieu of the Mini. That would not be the tarot card for me. The only way I could've validated its eyebrow-raising price was the usage that I would get from it in the tech gaps that I am needing to fill. But, as a device replacement; absolutely not entirely.

    As a Trainer & Educator in Productivity, Organization & Workflow - AND - an owner of the iPad mini since the 1st Generation back in 2014 - I totally agree that it is indeed a VERY specific productivity tool. It immediately replaced my 4th Generation iPad as my "go to" device to take to meetings, capture notes, and consume all sorts of content - due to it always being the lightest iPad ever. It's easier to carry in & out of meetings, less conspicuous, easily paired with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, better on planes, trains, etc and overall will stay in my hand longer than any other device - so the iPad mini is my workhorse of all my Apple gear

I will likely keep my mini because I do like it as my ebook reader but I think folks would be suprised how often they do not use this form factor. I could be wrong but spend more time looking at the 12,9 inch again thinking about bein glutinous

    Like you I have both the iPad Pro and the new mini. (Also a MBP 14”).
    When I am going somewhere and going to spend considerable time I take the iPad Pro. If I am bouncing around lots of places I take the mini. Since I am not someone who likes staring at the smaller screen of an iPhone (I am 60 and my eyes remind me every day), the iPad mini is a really good option.
    The only gripe I have with the new iPad mini is the lack of FaceID. Once you have had a device with FaceID you really do not want to mess around with the fingerprint reader.

    For anyone watching this I bought all three size iPads so you don't have to lol! After months of testing here are my results...... The iPad 12.9 with Magic Keyboard is a monster of a device but if you already have a MacBook why would you try and replace something that's better at doing majority of task? The 11 inch is better for portability but still kind of large to carry around, as many did I didn't even consider getting an iPad mini. I can say hands down the iPad mini is better for actual iPad uses such as content consumption, emails, games ect. if you are going to do work do it on the your MacBook not iPad because at the end of the day the iPad is just a supplement device NOT a device to replace your MacBook other wise they would have put Mac OS on it. Here is my current setup. MacBook m1 air - iPhone mini - iPad mini and this has been by far the best setup for work, play and portability. I blame apple for marketing this device as a laptop replacement because iPads are not even close to replacing my computer it would just slow me down when working.

    My mini 6 arrives tomorrow and I bought it for a couple specific uses. I'm a gigging musician and it's handy to have a digital device on stage for the setlist, pulling up lyrics if we get song requests and also something to play music on our PA between sets. I've been using an ancient 4th gen iPad for the music but it's extremely slow and it's also too big and weird to try and mount to my mic stand. I've been using my phone but the screen is a tad too small for that so the mini will hopefully work well.
    Second is for drone flight. I know it doesn't have the brightest display in the world but most of my flying is around sunset/sunrise so direct sunlight is not really an issue and, again, while a phone screen is fine, a bigger screen is better but a full size ipad is too big and also too heavy to be comfortable (and I'm not sure if mounts for a full size ipad even exist).
    Other than that, a lighter bed time media device that's not as heavy to hold up as the old 4th gen will be a welcome change.
    I think at the $400 price tag they're going for now, all the shortcomings are forgiven. Yeah promotion would be nice but for what I'm primarily intending to use it for, I can overlook it because it's just added cost that I think the majority of buyers for this device would still sacrifice to keep that lower price. Even if you are intending to get a smaller device like this, once you get close enough to the price of the larger ones, the larger form factor seems to be the first thing to get pushed aside to get "a little bit more" better device.

    I didn’t end up upgrading my mini 5 because of the 60Hz screen - no real upgrade there - but I am holding out for the next generation, even a mini pro. But, always a fan of the mini as my main daily driver. Always in portrait mode, and it is my deep thinking device while I’m on the couch or lying in bed as I research, read and make notes - life of a mature student - before sitting at the Mac Mini to do any serious writing. Guilty of watching way too much you-tube on it😂, and I do use mine to read ebooks, so there’s that. I find the jelly effect, which is carried over from the mini 5 (I only notice it now because everyone is talking about it) is only noticeable when I have app-creep. Apps take up memory, and I delete non-essential apps - the ones I’m not actually using - to speed up my iPad mini and it runs smoother. I Also cut back on downloaded content for only when I need it. Cheers, enjoyed your video😀

    Thank you Christopher - I would be curious to know that now your are using an 11” IPAD will you continue to use the Mini as this video mentions (FANTASTIC USE SCENARIO) I have an 11” Pro but thought it was little too big for media consumption- (holding in on the couch) I then got the new Mini - and honestly I just wish there was like a 9” model basically between the 11 and the Mini - ahh first world problems. Thank you truly appreciate your Videos and your opinions,

      “ProMotion” is Apple’s marketing term for their version of adaptive refresh rate screens, and like the name suggests it is only found on their “Pro” branded products.
      As for your second question, unless if you really need your iPad for something crazy the current base iPad is about one of the best deals in tech that you can get, though I would recommend maxing out the storage if you can.

    I would say this. Looks who’s talking. Considering Apple only just implemented 120hz, and you are complaining that it is unusable for a device that does not have that feature aka the iPad mini 6 simply because some of your other apple device has it. How hypocrite is that given the fact that 120hz existed on other non apple device for many years already. In fact at this point it already evolve over 120 going to 144 and beyond on certain devices. Then for the past few years when other people are already using 90 and 120hz while you still stuck on the crappy 60hz, you never ever talk about it being unusable and still keep supporting it like an idiot. This is what Apple idiots are

    Is your battery holds the charge for more than a day ? Mine cellular model, even idling goes to 5% from 100% in the morning to 5% at 9pm … without doing a lot of things with it.

    Sorry to say this. Ipad mini is not worth the money for serious works. Only good for playing games inside home and browsing. I wish apple provides a pro ipad mini device in future even if they charge extra money.
    BELOW DRAWBACKS :
    1) For On field works during sunny days , the brightness is not enough to see the screen properly. Also gets heated quickly when used for drone shoots for just 30 mins time spent.
    2) No faceid support when we regularly work outside. The touch id is very irritating as we already used to faceid with recent tech.
    3) Should provide a exclusive keyboard support for ipad mini for people who can type when needed , even though its a small tablet.

      You are correct. Both the iPad Air 4 and iPad Mini resemble the very first iPad. I actually prefer the old design. Even though it's the same thickness it looks thinner and sleeker.

      Hey, bezels have saved my screen more times than I would like to admit.
      Everyone wants to get rid of the bezels, but a sheet of 1-3000$ glass is no friend of mobility.
      I even prefer cases that extend to create an artificial rubber bezel (otter box) and after years and years I have never lost a screen.
      Once they are bulletproof I’ll take a bezel free device.

    I got the iPad mini after seeing a lot of the videos here and elsewhere, but is too small to be used to watch videos! Is not good at all at this… if held in hand is too close to watch real movies, if put on a stand is too far away to see details of actors expressions etc, details you see on a normal tv screen… so is not good at that period… is good chatting with people and watch UA-cam and reply to emails, take a snapshot of what ever you see through your day you want to remember the brand of or save for later in your journaling process… or pay bills and banking with or purchasing stuff online… but for anything productivity wise I prefer to sit down with a little larger journal and write by hand or sit down with a MacBook or iMac for journaling or schedule my days…
    Is like a larger iphone for quick simple tasks… the best thing with it is watching UA-cam on the top of the screen and the comments down below here on the bottom of the screen in a better way than an iPhone can do it… so is a consumer device and absolutely not a productivity device.
    It got so many errors when it comes to the software that I will most likely give it back… too many websites and apps cannot function well with the iPad mini. Like shipping service apps like Budbee , airmee, Dhl… the buttons on the bottom where you confirm your changes to a delivery or want to continue in an app cannot be viewed at all and if you try to scroll down to the bottom of the app window the stupid bounce function that Jobs was so proud of where you come to an end of the page it bounces back a little makes it impossible to scroll down to the actual bottom at all where the continue or confirm button is situated in most apps… even in my Codecademy go app for programming this issue is evident… and on top of this, just open instagram and you can see it does not fit the screen at all! Is smaller than the screen in portrait mode and in landscape mode is a joke! Smaller than an iPhone instagram for chatting… is horribly made and nothing is rightly done… and the sound of the keys can suddenly get turned on super high in volume for two seconds and then disappear on their own.. really shows a lot of bugs on top of the issues mentioned above… and there are more issues… all my notes from my iPhone and iMac could not be downloaded from the security copy and neither from iCloud… had to change my iCloud account name and reset the iPad mini 6 times together with an Apple senior advisor for a whole week to resolve this issue and get the notes and all my contacts into the iPad mini… and it was Not the first time the senior advisor seen these issues. So not me having a bad Apple here 😂 is The apple that got fundamental issues with iPad mini and the iPad iOS … just telling everyone what is like… I think zi should have chosen the iPad Pro 12.. another issue is that none of my c usb hubs from my MacBook works on the iPad mini! All satechi and really great and work with the MacBook and iMac and iPad Pro thunderbolt usb c!
    But not with the simple usb c in the iPad mini!
    So that is just a horror story itself… how am I now gonna connect both a charger cable and a mechanic usb c or a keyboard ? I had to use a usb c adapter from my usb a keyboard straight into the iPad mini but if I tried it wi5 the satechi hub that got several usb a connections and usb c it did not work! So stupid….
