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.
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….
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.
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.
Heres a Comment! 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.
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.
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
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!
@@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?
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 did update from Mini 5. Complete fine for me. I am Windows user and I am happy from my purchase. What I am sad about is that it should have A18 Pro or full A17 Pro for the longevity. But we will in 3-4 years.
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.
Only the people who used iPad mini will know how useful and powerful the new iPad mini is. Anyway, you guys have made the best video again, keep going 🔥🔥
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.
do the side kick experiement! i think it will be dope to see that perspective. I know Johnathon from Mac Address did that experience a few years back ( I believe). Would be cool to see the new mac mini respond to that.
The mini size is just sooo much more usable on the go. It’s amazing But yes. That 120hz Heck even a 75-80hz lol. I woulda taken that. This shoulda been called a iPad Mini 6S.. 😅
thank you for reviewing the jelly scrolling issue , i don't understand youtubers like Nikias Molina, he made two videos of 30 min about the new ipad mini and he didn't mention the most known issue about it "if they fix the jelly scrolling issue !!
First of all, good content and well produced video. Good you're honest with what we all think about the screen. So... I'll just have to wait a few years for iPad Mini 8 then, 60hz is no go for me. If it made it cheaper then maybe i could consider it.
Very sick video! I’m still debating between this Mini or iPad 11 (if it ever comes out this year) but now I know the jelly scroll is gone and this could be useful
Even miniLED would have been a much welcomed improvement if it were also 120hz. Personally, I would have been happy with everything we actually got, plus the aforementioned. Any heavy work can be done on my Mac.
I am glad that they left the outside of this iPad untouched. That way all the older accessories will fit. Thank you Apple. Fujifilm does this with the X100. All in all I'm glad the iPad mini is still around. It only represents 5% of all iPad sales. It is the iPad that everyone loves, but nobody buys. This mini will be my third one perfect travelling companion.
I don't know but it's always a pleasure when you vlog and do you thing , can you tell us the appli you use for your video ? And I see that you can speak french to ,and i guess you speak Spanish to , can you do some video about the way you did to perform to speak all this language etc etc ? And Always thanks bro
I don’t mind a little bezel for grip while reading. But no product in 2024 should launch with 60hz refresh rate. The fact it’s a pro feature for Apple is insane.
I still prefer more memory, Apple pencil pro, faster processor, than an oled 120 display. I'd like to see a bigger screen on the same footprint, with smaller bezels. The oled display would make it too expenseive to sell well. They stayed with the same the price, which is also a VERY nice thing nowadays, specially when talking Apple
Yo Andres bro, it's a very great video, but at an unusual time. I mean, the usual time is Sunday, but this video upload might be because of the embargo 😊
Great analysis, thank you! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
They would kill their sales for the ipad pro and that's why it may take quite a long time until they do end up giving us an ipad mini pro. - Or they might just make it cost 300 bucks more or something to ensure their revenue numbers
Craving a portable device that won't clash with your Pixel 9 Pro XL? The compact iPad mini 6 or 7 is the ideal solution for Android users who want a taste of Apple once in a while.
i keep trying to find actual people actuallying using this in the real world and not some youtuber who thinks it's a niche to present an ipad only video and keep being severly disappointed

The display became an insult when they forced the pro pencil on us.
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.
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
Okay i got to agree that this intro and the final line The new one's got a mini on it""😂 it was good.
An iPad mini Pro would be a dream come true.
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.
watching an ipad review and it turned into a good notes commerical
Andres uploading on a Tuesday is a gift I never knew I deserved. ❤
I need an Ipad Pro Mini with same specifications. That would be my dream iPad ❤️

Per Brian Tong and another reviewer (sorry, I forgot this name) they stated it was fixed. 🤷🏻♀️

Best youtuber, always waiting on your videos every Sunday! The quality is always on 🔥🔥
Muhc love man thank you so much!
I love d new way u start d video with a short comedy it's fire 💯💯
Its for those who doesnt own an ipad/mini like myself and i think its an awesome machine to have. Its a good buy
Would love to see an updated “non-apple laptop for engineering students” video from you bro
Instantly gave a like all for that intro skit 😂
Love the storytelling bro!
I did update from Mini 5. Complete fine for me. I am Windows user and I am happy from my purchase. What I am sad about is that it should have A18 Pro or full A17 Pro for the longevity. But we will in 3-4 years.
Thanks man. Decided not to get this gen.
11:51 You can also scan documents directly in the files app ;)
Do it, always fun watching your videos
mAAAAN I WAS ABOUT TO SLEEP BUT THE GOAT POSTED
bro literally made my day uploading a video today 😂✨
as a photographer, the mini is the best photo album "On the go" combo I carry with me all the time. However, those thick bazels are killing me...
I watched one UA-camr and he made my perspective better - smaller smartphone, bigger main device.
Oled 120hz would have been sick for the iPad mini, I have a m2 iPad Pro but waited on mini refresh but apple keeps doing the least for these upgrades
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.
This makes me more happy with my ipad mini 6 LOL

Does this support stage manager or still lacks?
I still got the gen 5. The chamfered corners are easy to hold. I wish they come back to it.
I like the form factor of the mini. Still rocking my 5th gen though and not yet convinced to upgrade yet.
Great review as always
You just answered the question- the reason they didn’t make the 120hz pro motion mini, is that it would kill sales of all other iPads.
lets see the esim and month usage bro!!!!!
The mini size is just sooo much more usable on the go. It’s amazing
But yes. That 120hz
Heck even a 75-80hz lol. I woulda taken that.
This shoulda been called a iPad Mini 6S.. 😅
It's the best ipad ever!
love these pits at the start! nice that you brought them back ! :D
I have nerve owned an apple device before but I know much as it's users because of you 😂
thank you for reviewing the jelly scrolling issue , i don't understand youtubers like Nikias Molina, he made two videos of 30 min about the new ipad mini and he didn't mention the most known issue about it "if they fix the jelly scrolling issue !!

So... I'll just have to wait a few years for iPad Mini 8 then, 60hz is no go for me. If it made it cheaper then maybe i could consider it.
Could we expect an iPad Mini Pro in the close future you think?
Beginning made me laugh, great skit
Very sick video! I’m still debating between this Mini or iPad 11 (if it ever comes out this year) but now I know the jelly scroll is gone and this could be useful
I love the iPad Mini and Goodnotes lol
UA-camrs: USB-C is good cause we dont need a million cables
this dude: 4:26
Great video bro. Your editing skills are amazing
#esim
I see you using the OnePlus 12r.
Does that mean we're getting a new Day in the Life??? 🤩🤩🤩
The screen made in Samsung?
okay, so no one is talking about the phone case in the background at 11:47 ?
what phone case?
Great video as always man!
Even miniLED would have been a much welcomed improvement if it were also 120hz. Personally, I would have been happy with everything we actually got, plus the aforementioned. Any heavy work can be done on my Mac.
1:00 bro, I thought my ipad rebooted lol😆
I am glad that they left the outside of this iPad untouched. That way all the older accessories will fit. Thank you Apple. Fujifilm does this with the X100.

One day we'll get an iPad Mini Pro.. one day..
Excellent and detailed video, and to the point! I hold the iPad mini 6th generation and I will not upgrade..
I don't know but it's always a pleasure when you vlog and do you thing , can you tell us the appli you use for your video ? And I see that you can speak french to ,and i guess you speak Spanish to , can you do some video about the way you did to perform to speak all this language etc etc ?
And Always thanks bro
Is the jelly scroll still an issue?
What up bro love all your videos 1 of my favorite UA-camrs #esim stay blessed you the family & Jan 👊🏼
would’ve pulled the trigger but no oled or 120hz and the fact it’s CAD$679. love the form factor tho.
Man if these don’t have jelly scroll I’m sold.
Dahahaha! The B-Roll sacarsm was hilarious! loved it 🤣
What is that case you have for your Apple Pencil?
how about the ipad 10th generation, compared to mini 6,7 in terms of taking note, gaming mobile games, and entertaining?
Notability is also another note taking alternative to Goodnotes.
I don’t have one, but would definitely love one
Brother pls make a video with nothing phone 2a
By the way I am one of your greatest fans
Love your work❤
Love the weekday video
I don’t mind a little bezel for grip while reading. But no product in 2024 should launch with 60hz refresh rate. The fact it’s a pro feature for Apple is insane.
Whoop weekday video 👌🏻🔥
Could be interesting to see how you like it after a month
Awesome video! Really love the honest opinion and nothing paid! That line when Jan say's "The new one's got the mini on it" that blew me man! #esim
120hz would’ve been perfect to add with the spec bump… maybe next year, lolol
I'm here for it.
the mini looks useful!
I still prefer more memory, Apple pencil pro, faster processor, than an oled 120 display. I'd like to see a bigger screen on the same footprint, with smaller bezels. The oled display would make it too expenseive to sell well. They stayed with the same the price, which is also a VERY nice thing nowadays, specially when talking Apple
Bro, I thought the jelly scroll issue happens when u scroll vertically in portrait. Not when you scroll horizontally in portrait.
Yo Andres bro, it's a very great video, but at an unusual time. I mean, the usual time is Sunday, but this video upload might be because of the embargo 😊
Lol When i was watching this I thought it was sunday!🤣
Nice review bro
Great video 👍👍👍
Great review thanks
It will still be a best seller.
I loveeee your video
Great analysis, thank you! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Yaa i would like to know how the E Sim experience is.

Does it charge faster ??
bro, go for it
Excellent video
