    Urg its SOO close to being SOOOOO good. Thinner bezels, with OLED and 120hz would have been amazing.
    EDIT: My jelly scroll test on screen, so inaccurate. Jelly scroll will happen when on sides refresh rate refreshes quicker or slower than the other so youll see the UFO going in waves. My bad fam. This is what happens with first look reviews. So fast you miss details.

      My SO uses the iPad Mini for flight lessons, but I honestly don't think they'd need an upgrade from the previous model here for using it in a cockpit.

      That would probably cost just slightly less then the 11 inch pro, I’d guess intro price at 800-900 for wifi 256 gb. Which would be fine, I’d buy it, but I assume Apple did the math and there wasn’t enough demand to justify, which makes sense. Pro features, pro pricing….

      With the specs being almost the same as basic iPad 10.9inch, why is the mini more expensive (while having smaller screen? 🤔)

    My wish was for Apple to have created a mini iPad Pro.
    Brought back the iPhone mini
    And then i could have added a pro Mac mini m4 and had the ultimate mini setup. To go along with my mini budget.

    • @PSy84
      @PSy84 Місяць тому

      mini budget is not for Apple though that's why they ditched the iPhone mini and if people wants 120hz and OLED, you have to spend big which means more profit for them

    I actually traded in my 11 PRO for this one. Even though I’m losing some features, portability is more important to me. And with the trade I only paid $164. Would love a Mini Pro, but this will do for now.

    And I gotta say, that I've been a sub for a long time and I never got a chance to watch your other videos besides the iPhone Vids, but now I am and I'm loving every second of watching them because your videos are really really catch my eye because they're so good and Inspiring, especially when I'm making content on my own channel. Your content from a scale of 1-10 it would be a solid 20. Thank You for the AWESOME content, Andres! Keep it up, and I'll be here when you hit 1M Subs.

  • @LionelGeek
    @LionelGeek 2 місяці тому +4

    You make a lot of good points about what Apple could have done Andres. But I think they didn't add more of those features for two reasons: 1) to keep it at a $499 price point and 2) They know the form factor is the reason why so many customers buy the mini vs. larger iPads. Smaller bezels and better performance screen tech will definitely be missed. But Apple doesn't want the $499 iPad mini to be its best-selling iPad. I really think the answer is that simple.

  • @PatrickRambles
    @PatrickRambles 2 місяці тому +13

    Great video bro - quick comment: the jelly scroll is visible in portrait, so the test needs to be done with the lines moving from top to bottom, rather than sideways. I tested the mini 6 back when it came out and it was super visible in slow motion. Personally I barely see it in person and it doesn't bother me

    • @andresvidoza
      @andresvidoza  2 місяці тому +2

      Yes you are right what I needed to do was show the scrolling on that test to see if the UFO moves weirdly. On sides refresh rate should be faster than the other and it should wobble. But it seems to have been fixed. On my iPad Mini 6, its noticeable to my personal eyes when scrolling. Its annoying for some and for others it doesn't matter!

    • @PatrickRambles
      @PatrickRambles 2 місяці тому

      @@andresvidoza you're absolutely right. I did a comparison in portrait more, that's where you will see it (in slow motion). I've never been bothered by jelly scroll but some people legit get headaches and have to put it away. It's a bizarre phenomenon.

    the A17 Pro iPad MINI is the best first time buy portable APPLE tablet if you consider USES on the go. 17:10 Display quality, for x, y, and z 9:55 it's great.
    Things I like:
    - reuse 6th gen accessories,
    - A17 Pro chip brings raytracing (and unlike M-series not a heat monster?).
    - Apple Pencil Pro,
    - Camera features enhanced.
    - USBC 3.1 gen 2 makes a better than mini 6th gen. 2:40
    - wifi 6E.
    - 8 GB Memory, for same $$$ as 6th gen mini 4GB.
    - improved software with version 18.0.1,
    Things i may never miss, nor may never want:
    - SIM tray.
    - 90-120Hz on USBC.
    Things that I want:
    - security updates beyond 7 years.
    Things I question:
    - This A17 Pro device has Apple Pencil Pro, so why not all M-series devices with Apple gen 2 and Apple Pencil Pro?
    - That alternative plug-headed pencil, why? Nothing about it says strategic, smart design, or respect for people buying their first Apple tablet. How did it even get pass a 2nd concept review? Did someone forget the real problem with the first Apple Pencil, its frailty?

  • @elizenkatsu

    I think the bezels are for holding the iPad since its supposed to be a portable device. Some can't wrap their hand around it the same way you hold an iPhone so the bezels prevent accidental touches.

    I think the jelly scroll had more of an impact on vertical scrolling, not horizontal? I might be wrong. I've looked at the mini 6 in the Apple Store. Didn't seem like a major issue either way. But, to be fair, I don't really notice 120hz on an iPhone or iPad compared to 60hz.

    I’ve always been a fan of Apple’s Mini lineup. The 13 Mini, Mac Mini, iPad Mini. Not just because they’re compact, but because they’re perfect for those of us who value smaller devices without sacrificing performance. But lately, I feel Apple is starting to treat the Mini lineup as their “SE” version, minimal, but not in a good way. The new Mac Mini 7 is a perfect example. Sure, it’s compact, but it’s nowhere near as powerful as it should be. If we love the “Mini” products, it’s not because we want to compromise. We want small and powerful.
    It’s time for Apple to rethink the Mini. A smaller device doesn’t mean it should come with lower specs. Let’s keep the form factor we love, but give us the power and performance that can stand on its own.

    I got hold of a 128 Mini 7 and pencil with education discount yesterday . By the time I added apple care it wasn’t cheap. I haven’t opened the box as yet because I’m seriously looking at returning it for a new Mac Mini. With my discount a 16/512 Mac Mini is about the same cost. Why? I’ve got a 2TB iPad Pro M1, pencil 2 and Magic Keyboard and an old 10.5 pro. Both have great displays and much bigger real estate. Given I also have an iPhone 15 pro max 512gb, to me the new Mac mini can replace my M1, drive my studio display (nano) and 27 in 4K Dell as a pair, do all my video editing and more. It’ll also work for years to come.
    In some ways the iPad mini is an indulgence - a want more than a need. For the next week I’m sitting on the fence and not opening the boxes.

    I found out something good after watched one UA-camr. Phone should be a phone. Laptop or iPad is for main work and fun. Better to spend extra money for a main device and buy cheap phone. My next phone will be smaller - 15 Pro Max is too big. As for Apple ecosystem is good to have MacBook/basic iPad with a smaller phone.
