I got mine for $275.00 256 and cellular!!! The seller was a woman who separated from her husband…her husband brought it for her…IT SAT ON A SHELF FOR MONTHS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION! She just wanted to get rid of it…NO LOCKS IN NEW CONDITION! You are correct about this being the best IPad… I have the pro BUT I CANT PUT DOWN THE MINI! Love this little beast!!!
👀 That’s a great pickup!
Wow, did you get it on FB marketplace?
Once in a lifetime buy, wow. Mine cost ~$650 + tax and I just have the 256gb wifi model.
@@HaileyNeel Hey thanks…this thing I just can’t put it down…I have a pro but man…don’t know why I just use this almost daily…IF and that’s a big IF they do wonders with the mini 7 then I may trade in…if not I will be owning this bad boy til the wheels fall off…are you liking yours as well?
Bought the 12.9 for $1300 and returned it… 3 months later I found the exact model on FB marketplace with a local pickup for $600 with cellular date.. the thing I hate about it was portability so I purchased the mini 6 and man let me tell you its the best purchased I made in the last 5 years
I didn’t see the point until I brought my iPad Mini 5, that device was so incredibly useful I don’t know how I ever lived without it. Now I have the Mini 6 and it’s even better
What was useful for you? Thanks
@@bobbymaldini7653 the perfect combination of screen size and portability
Mine was primarily for phone replacement in my truck. Maps is much bigger and clearer to see when driving. Got 512gb cellular. It’s easy to take with me all the time and also for casual use at home.
I’ll be pulling the trigger on the iPad mini 7 for travel. I’m not in a big hurry because i have the larger iPad Pro but it is heavy in my backpack hence the mini choice
Yes to the Mini 6! I have an iPad Pro 12.9 with magic keyboard and iPhone 14 Pro. I added the Mini 6 thinking to set it up for my mother but she balked so I kept it and am so happy to have it in my kit! I have 2nd gen Pencil which works with Mini6 and Pro. The Mini 6 fits ... as you said ... in the sweet spot between phone and Pro/Laptop. I am a recently retired software developer and my development laptop is a Windows based Dell. With iCloud, OneNote, etc. ... I am very happy with how everything works together. The mini 6 drops in any purse/handbag I own. It's larger than phone size screen is helpful to my aging eyes! I am a happy Mini 6 owner :)
Love it !!
and ideal dimensions for social media use and video
I purchased my Apple mini iPad back in 2021. It has been absolutely perfect since a day I bought it not sure if it’s me or the tablet, though. The battery does seem to run out quickly but that could be because I use it all the time!definitely worth a buy
Watching this on my ipad mini, basically its the best purchase Ive made, its the 64 version, but it helps tremendously as my email machine and note taking
Was going to get one of these back in 2022 until the announcement that the iPad Air was getting M1. At that point I waited for pre-orders to open up and got mine custom engraved 256 GB with cellular in starlight. That M1 chip was a game changer.
I love my ipad mini 6. It’s the perfect size for my life. Apple needs to give it a specialized keyboard case on the next launch, just like the other iPads. Why? Because with a keyboard, it’s the perfect mini Macbook Pro accessory or travel size substitute. It’s great for when I cannot bring my Macbook Pro with me due to purse space.
I have a pro 11” and recently got the mini 6 end of last year. Guess which one I use the most…my iPhone 14 Pro Max. But my iPad mini is close second. Perfect for travel and use it for both productivity and entertainment.
I use iPad mini 6 for more than 2 years. And I still love it like the first day I got it.
Buddy pls suggest me ...should I purchase in 2024 now.?
@@vineshsingh1342yes you wont regret it
@@vineshsingh1342 No.. wait for the 7. Just use common sense.
@@Fashionista-ny7ce ok sir.
@@vineshsingh1342 It’s not sure yet if there is 7. Get the mini 6 for now. Lol. It’s about 4 months and you’re not using a mini yet.
Love my mini 6 I have had for years. It is the optimal handheld at home and portable iPad with cellular. I take it with me everywhere. Fits in most slingbags as well. Also it is really a Pro model without the tag and price. Plenty fast and no upgrades needed.
I’m glad others enjoy it as much as I do!
I’m watching this on my iPad mini 6 I just unboxed yesterday. It feels like it’s just what I needed. My phone screen feels small for some tasks and my iPad Air screen feels too big too. It’s right in the middle.
I’m right there with ya!
Thanks for the good review. I will wait for the first quarter to see what they will be up to…😎
Appreciate it! & A new Mini 7 ?!? 🤞🏼. Hopefully it’s not $600 or something crazy like that!
Bet 7th show up in march. Too many talk about 6th
I agree with your sentiments on the iPad mini. I have the 6 and I use it often. I find my favorite use for it is as my Kindle book reader. I bought the Kindle latest edition and it pales in comparison to what the mini can do and it is not even that much heavier than the PaperWhite.
I also use it for reading from time to time. t's small, but it packs a punch!
Hell yeah it is! Great video pal
Thanks, I appreciate it!
I previously used the mini 2 back in 2013 till it was water damaged and have to be recycled but that’s just when I was a teenager and still studying so it’s natural for me to go back to the Mini 6 & got the purple variant with 256GB from Apple’s Certified Refurbished section. (I save a bit of money)
I’m only really interested in the mini iPads.. the full size ones just aren’t that comfortable to use and need a keyboard imo.. at that point, I’ll just use my MacBook and fwiw, I kind of hate touchscreen laptops.. much clunkier than a trackpad and you smudge up the screen.. or worse, other people smudge up your screen thinking it’s touch! Anyway, I’ve had two minis now. A 4th gen that saw years of daily use.. then a 6th gen bought over the summer. Paired with a speck folio case and cheap pencil, it’s a perfect casual device that’s still capable of most of the stuff I use my MacBook for if I feel like keeping it really light.
I feel the same way. The only advantage for practical use cases I see the Pro’s (or any larger screen iPads) is having a larger drawing surface
As comparing the ipad mini 6 and ipad gen10 they both honestly are the best bang for your buck want an upgrade get the air
I will definitely buy a new iPad mini. I love the form factor
There are pros and cons. 256Gb and Cellular. Bought it new to replace the 5 for use on car trips. It's a great GPS replacement. Better than the phone (size) for emails and UA-cam. The 'jelly scrolling' has never been an issue for me. I can actually take a phone call with it while driving. However... It would be a LOT better if it was more landscape oriented. Taking a screen shot requires me to reach over the top to touch both the start button and a volume button, both on the left side. Very awkward. You need to perform FOUR functions to turn it off. Quickly. And in a certain order! (Up volume, volume down, push/hold the start button, then slide the power off slider. The 5 was two; way simpler.) For all the talk about the speakers, my phone is still louder. The A15 chip is quick enough, but could be a LOT better with, say, the M2. And there is that foto info popping up unasked, with no shutting it off. The Apple 'seers' (guessers) show no solutions for any of these problems. All in all, I'll prolly not upgrade to a 7.
Well said!
All I need is mini led screen or Oled and I’ll be complete.
Ipad mini 256 with cellular is about $800. Only 60htz. IPhone 15 512 is around 1200. I'll keep my galaxy z fold 5 for $1800 512 120 htz and with dex I get a decent desktop too. And it all folds and fits in my pocket.
I love mine🎉❤
Hi
Great video
🇬🇧
Thank you!!
Love my iPad 6 mini.
I put on “paperlike” which made using the Apple Pencil feel like writing on luxury paper. Then I got an artech keyboard and absolutely love the detachable keyboard.
The iPad mini is a perfect size for me!
I want to try it! Paperlike is on my to do list ☑️
Hey! Is it big enough to use with taking notes?
@@theodort743 absolutely!
@@CScott4k what notes do you take with it? Does it work for math and physics for example?
@@theodort743 I use my iPad mini 6 extensively for notes. Sometimes pencil, sometimes Bluetooth keyboard, sometime voice input.
It’s replacement is rolling out this year. I’d get the mini 6 when the price goes down by 50%.
That only happens with android tablets. The mini 5 released in 2019 and only now resale used for 250
Someone on here mentioned that they're $249 @ Best Buy. I think that they're full of it. No one ever sells their Apple products at half price, when NIB.
Even a 5th gen refurbished is still $269.00 on Best Buy. Thats on sale, and the 64gb version. Its gonna be a while before the ipad 6 hits half price.
Bought one yesterday. Went in to Demo the Vision pro and walked out with a mini. Completely replacing my iPad Air and now my wife whom has a M1 Pro wants one
Haha, nice! I love my mini, it’s the perfect form factor. How was the Vision Pro?
@@CScott4k honestly as a person whom has had about 14 VR headsets it was disappointing. It was good but no 3500 dollars worth of good especially with the Quest 3 nipping at their heels. Had this come out 3 years ago it would have been amazing but the MR isn’t 3500 dollars worth of extra over the Quest 3 for my use case.
@@jsxr750 I’m a late adopter of VR in general. I’ve only ever tried both the PlayStation and Quest, never owned one. But yes, $3500 is wild. I’ll wait ver version 2 or 3, where hopefully that price point comes down a little!
I’m surprised your request list didn’t include FaceID unlock.
It definitely could have been added. Face ID is always a plus!
I really wish they produced a PRO version; 1TB, comparable cameras to the iPhone Pro, and at least an M1 chip…
🤔
iPad Mine Pro … I like the sound of that!
As long as ipad is supported by software updates, it will be enjoyable to use. I still use my 10.5 ipad pro and mini 5. I can’t complain aything.
I agree. It’s hard to go wrong!
Same here my iPad 10.5 has fantastic speakers, great pro motion screen, very bright and still has the latest OS. It also has a headphone socket…
I got hold of a new mini 256 but didn’t open the box. I visited the Apple Store to do a comparison. The mini had clear issues with ‘jelly scrolling’, all the kids had damaged the edges of many screens and a few had burn in marks on the screen as they are on all the time. I sent my unopened mini back for a full refund. I’ve just got hold of a new 16/2TB iPad M1 11 pro for £50 more than a 256 iPad mini. In a different class, especially with the Magic Keyboard.
If there was a pro grade mini with 120 Hz, pro motion, no jelly scrolling, and stronger build, I’d consider but for me a new iPhone 15 Pro Max 512gb for content creation is a more suitable investment. Turn it sideways and it great for reading stuff and has massive battery life.
I want it as a bigger phone with sim calling feature.
That’s always an option!
Loved mine until I got an iPhone 15 Plus. That phone is much easier in the hand than my old 13 Pro Max (or a 15 Pro Max.) Now I never really use my iPad mini 6 and can't put the phone down.
I have the iPad Pro 11 inch and I honestly can’t imagine any tablet being superior… Even if that size it feels super portable for my needs. However… I can’t get over the idea that I should have an iPad mini anyways. They sure know how to get inside your head! 😅 💵
They sure do! lol
Don’t waste your money. Look at my other response about a still working 10.5 iPad Pro.
Haha! Yes, I have the 11" too, and yet I found it was kind of awkward for my Kindle reading... so I got the mini. It is my primary tool for reading digital books. I had the Kindle PaperWhite. I sent the PaperWhite back and got the mini. Amazingly the Mini is barely any heavier and does so much more.
@@BrianVallotton I bought a used Mini 4 three days ago and holy smokes I love it. My 11” pro has been closed on my desk since then. I’m thinking of getting a Mini 6.
@@JohnvanGurp I hear ya man! I use my Pro mostly at church when I am playing on worship team. I would use the Mini on that as well but I would have to wear my reading glasses to use the Mini! ;-)
I want an iPad mini mini, but I’m afraid soon as I buy one, Apple is going to announce a new iPad mini. I mainly want that one for traveling. I actually have the 2018 pro model that I’m gonna trade it in because the battery don’t even last that long. Ever since I got my MacBook, I don’t even use it anymore.
I hope we get one sooner rather than later 🤞🏼
That was what happened with me nine years ago. I bought my iPad Mini 3 brand new and, literally, a week later, Apple released the iPad Mini 4.
the only no go for the mini is the 60hz
Sold my iPad mini 6 and the Kindle Paperwhite Special edition last week. Got a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 which is narrower than mini and better than kindle. Mini is just way too expensive for what it does. I get the similar functionality in A9 but with option to upgrade storage and fits much nicer in the hand. Upgraded storage with 512GB samsung micro sd card for £25
Nice. I’ve only ever heard good things about the paperwhite
@CScott4k To be fair there was nothing wrong with either the mini or the kindle, but mini felt over priced for my needs, kindle touch screen fetlt like the 2010 touch screens. Tab A9 was cheap as chips and met all my needs in one device.
60hz refresh rate on that piece (iPad mini)😂, Lenovo legion Y700 "hold my beer" 144hz, full VC cooling system, bypass charging, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, Full gaming overlays, JBL Tuned speakers, PC and Extended mode, 2.5k screen, etc.. for 399.99 😂
it’s just too small guys for realistic use. Your phone already does all that work. I really wanted to love it but eventually selling it for a great deal on the iPad Air 5. I actually need a field laptop worthy device as well so the mini is no go.
Each iPad mini 6 video they never talk about how long the battery so I’m wondering how many hours the battery lasts.
Will a new iPad mini come out this year?
The latest rumors I’ve seen suggest a possibility of a Mini 7 in late ‘24. October/November potentially. Of course, nothing is confirmed.
@@CScott4kit’s looking like September 😭😭😭 so tempted to just get the mini 6 now because I have a 12.9” which I never even use as a tablet lol it’s become my MacBook replacement. Now I need an iPad replacement for my iPad haha something comfortable to use in bed
Too bad the price is absolutely atrocious in Europe. People complain about its US price, but meanwhile in Germany for example the price of the base model (64GB, Wifi only) is 650 euros, and the 256GB Wifi only model is 850 euros. If you want to buy the 64GB version with cellular, it costs 850 euros! And the 256GB with cellular costs 1050 euros. Absolute insanity, and a complete insult to the customers living here.
Same here in Sweden but actually slightly more expensive here. Madness
Wow! I had no idea that was the case. That’s insane!
Because your government adds all sorts of taxes. That’s not Apple’s fault
I picked up a Mini 6, from 'Back Market', for $380; that's $49 cheaper than an iPhone SE3, how can I go wrong?
That’s a nice pickup. It’s been a while since I’ve checked Back Market out. I might need to revisit here soon!
Nice looking production values here. But you should be aware the word is supposedly - no such word as “supposably”😁
🤣 whoops
Upon further research (someone else pointed this out) supposably is in fact a word 😁
@@CScott4k Lol it seems I must eat a little crow; Supposably IS a word. But there’s more. Supposedly means something accepted as true while supposably means something that could be true. Subtle but distinct difference. So 99% of the time when someone says supposably, supposedly would be the better choice.
@@sonofacheron I’ll play it off like i knew what i was saying 😂 I learned something new today!
It needs more storage. Mine is 256 and just about full.
It is a little low for the standard today. I’ve been fortunate without any issues. Although, I did get the increase iCloud storage this last fall when it was rolled out!
I like smaller tablets, but phones are too small for me. The problem is ANYTHING else in that category has useless processor making them unusable (I mean 10 sec to refresh page useless) If you want smaller and actually usable for anythin its the only one on the market (android or apple) so much so I ended up handing out 500 notes !!!
Smaller tablets are the way to go!
Did you notice any jelly scrolling issues that others have mentioned
I haven’t experienced any yet. Knock on Wood 🤞🏼
I've had a Mini 6 since they released. If I try really hard I can get it to jelly scroll, which to me implies it was just a clickbait issue for some UA-camrs. I use mine daily for content consumption, and when I travel I always have it with me.
Unfortunately, all the iPad Mini 6 I’ve tried using has this jelly effect when you scroll from the left side (back and forth) like when reading an article or browsing through some web pages, or even browsing some videos to watch in UA-cam. That is only when you are using the Mini in portrait, but in landscape you won’t experience the jelly effect.
And from reading some article, it’s proven that it’s really part of the iPad Mini 6 screen and most people either just don’t notice it or don’t care at all. They said that the controller board that drives the display is located vertically on the left hand side hence the jelly effect. Apple said it’s normal in LCD screen but ironically you won’t experience it in iPad 10th gen and below, and from previous Mini’s.
how about ipad air 4 and 5 ,does it have the same problems?@@jyrjckbrls
i wont get the other ipad because , i want the size of ipad mini ,just perfect for my need , bigger ipad make me so cramp@@jyrjckbrls
Good ipad but with 60hz refresh rate its a no for me
It’s a definitely a drawback for sure.
Why get an IPod 6?
It’s pretty, petite and pink.
The screen is kind of awful. That's the only ask i could ask for... OLED and higher refresh rate. Along with no more bezel. A giant iPhone if you will. Other than for watching youtube or movies, it's great!
that would be 1.2k minimum
4:51
“…supposably” should be supposedly.
Supposably is a word, no? Or in the context I used it supposedly works better?
Upon further research, supposably is an adverb for possibly or conceivably. I believe the context I used it in fits. On the other hand, I’m by no means a Language Arts expert so I really have no idea 🤷🏼♂️ lol
나는 정말로 미니가 가지고 싶었지만 미니의 가격이 한차례 올라서 용량 넣음 1000 달러라 꽤 비쌌고 .. 11 프로 256 가격이 좋게 나왔다 가격 차이가 너무 조금 났기 때문에 그냥 11 프로 256 을 사려다 용량이 너무 작아서 결국 11 프로 512 를 샀다 .. 이번에 미니 7 이 나오고 그것이 용량이 너무 작지 않고 oled 라면 아마 살거야
still waiting Small bezels to iPad Mini 7
🤞🏼
Bezels are there for a reason. The bezels right now are perfect for where thumbs rest while using it
Of course I know. But it also has a solution@@itsdtxjd
Too thick heavy and No home button.
I’ll stick with the mini 5.
thank for your video... but i rather wait ipad mini 7
Thanks 🙏🏼. Hopefully we get one this year!
maybe next year October coz iPad mini are refreshed either 2 years or 4years. 2021 then 2023 but no refresh in 2023 so it's 2025
pretty nice vid, predicate you.
I have iPad Pro 12.9 m2. Do I still need mini?
So much zooming in and out it hurts.
No face I.D plus 60Hz that’s the drawback.
It needs more RAM
More RAM is always good.
I swear I’m listening to a deepfake of JerryRigEverything 😳
I’m not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not 😅
@@CScott4k neither really. It was a clear observation I was making 😉
I cannot play games with 60Hz (gives me a headache), so my only option is the 11” pro, the 12.9 is too big to hold.
I don’t see the appeal , I was on the look for a new iPad ( had a 9th gen iPad for years ). Wanted one of these newer ones and ditch the old style, I have a MacBook Pro so I looked for standard options. All of them seemed ok but nothing was really giving me that “ this is worth my money “. Eventually came across this internet frenzy with the iPad mini 6 vs every other iPad 🤣, so I decided to check it myself in store and it was such a ridiculous underwhelming experience. Super slow , laggy , had this weird jelly like effect and the size was horrible , I guess it’s not for everyone but certainly for some but I still didn’t see the appeal because the price tag on it is way too much for what u get. Tested the iPad Air but also felt like it was missing something , ended up buying the pro m2 256g , and I’m super happy with it. Perfect size , super fast. The mini needs serious upgrades in order to be an actual good purchase, makes a good case for a child or someone who barely uses any devices at all besides their computer. This was an interesting video tho
I felt the same way, every iPad gave me boring vibes, so I went with a galaxy tab s9 but I'm also not locked in to apple products, and let me tell you the galaxy tab has more features than I'll likely learn.
uh, ok
@@betbet5606I honestly saw the opportunity to get something non Apple for a second but because I have everything Apple I thought I’d probably end up regretting. But for sure there’s great options outside of Apple at least when we speak of an iPad mini or their other iPads that really need improvements, the pro seems a pretty solid purchase tho , but definitely won’t use every pro feature too hehe , cheers !
The M2 is definitely a monster! Being able to use Pro apps like FCP on M-Series iPads has really appealed to me since its announcement. It’s just hard to justify it for myself for what I use it for.
@@Benjaminnook I get it. My sister wants to switch to a galaxy but won't because how much she's spent in apple products, she's too invested.
It’s now possible and easy for Mac users to synchronize files with Android devices. Why bother sticking to expensive Apple ecosystem when there are Android devices which are cheaper and powerful?
IMO, the ecosystem is the selling point.
Apple is bit really expensive if you 2nd hand at 95-100% battery health at almosy half the price and will last many time than android...and with better apps and games
The ipad mini 7 is coming in 2024 why bother buy the old one in 2024?
Must not have really watched the video 🤔
No haptic motor, waterproofing, 120hz, 500 nits max brightness, 64gb starting storage, massive bezel ratio, not much bigger than a Plus model iphone.
It’s a no buy in 2024.
Haptic motors aren’t needed in iPads 😂 There is also quite a difference in size from a Plus/Max iPhone due to the difference in aspect ratio.
anything other than the air 5 is bad for money ngl
Money rots away in their presence.
The ipad mini is great. But the price, it's not worth it tbh.
I think $400 is fair, for a brand new one.
Or...... 650 euro....
I got mine 329.00 on amazon
Love 💕 it
lol…did this dude say “supposibly” instead of supposedly? lol…. I can’t believe it.
Are you saying supposably isn’t a word?🤣 Might want to look it up lol
Nice more apple garbage.
No
I just got one full price and now I’m hearing rumors of a new one coming for the 7th gen 🥹 hope i didn’t make a mistake
It won’t be out until September
Yeah, I haven’t heard much rumors other than the pros for a Q1 release, but it’s definitely possible later this year. Either the way, the mini 6 is solid!
