    What do you think, is the mini 5 worth going to the 6 or just going straight to the 7?

      Still need an iPad mini, was hoping the 7 would have been more exciting honestly

      Waited and went for the Mini 7 - glad I did. The improvements in performance are noticeable - not earth shattering, but better. This new one should last for several years.

    You can also swipe up on the iPad Mini 5 to access all the apps. Mine is fast and not "dirt slow" as you called all older gadgets. This doesn't feel like a proper comparison video, you just talked about the 7 with vague terms like super fast. You barely talked about the 5 in day-to-day use. You didn't even talk about the price of both in the market (your title is worth the upgrade price but no mention of prices at all?)

      @JonAdamsTech  Місяць тому +1

      I just gave a real life visual show of how slow it is. I talk about old tech on this channel all the time and constantly recommend it. This product isn’t worth recommending.

      Agree with @gabobli, was shocked when I saw it’s like 30 seconds to open Books, so tried right now, and not my experience at all… anyway whatever. Same thing I tried with App Store, and can swip up from bottom for all apps. I mean would I buy the 5 today? Maybe for the right price. It’s current on iOS and not dirt slow IMO.

    I have iPad mini 5 and is not nearly as slow as what you're showing. It's perfectly fine for media consumption in 2024.

      I think Apple is hitting me with that forced obsolescence

  • @pug_63
    @pug_63 Місяць тому +6

    Just upgraded from the 5 to the 7. With my trade-in, it actually cost me a bit less than my 5. It’s the form factor that works for me - don’t need anything bigger - and really complements my iPhone 13 Mini.
    Thanks for the content.

    Interesting, my iPad mini5 no way even close to that slow, I wonder what the difference is..

    • @JonAdamsTech
      @JonAdamsTech  Місяць тому +2

      I don't use it often so i wonder if it's just struggling to keep up because apps weren't preloaded. it was painfully slow haha

      My ipad mini 5 slowed down significantly after ios 18. Downgraded to 17 and is much better now.

    Using my iPad Mini 5 as we speak. Mine is extremely smooth still. I own 10 year old phones that don't move as slow as your iPad mini lol. I can pretty much do whatever I want to do with my iPad mini 5 still. I buy my family the bigger and better iPads. I use them occasionally, but holding my iPad Mini without having to worry about accidental touches to the screen is a huge benefit. I do tons of research on it, watch videos, gaming, etc. Battery needs to charge every so often but still beast. Still getting updates too!

    Was the mini 5 a 64gb version? My 256gb mini 5 has some performance issues but nothing like what is shown here.

    • @andrewwilliams5337
      @andrewwilliams5337 Місяць тому

      nah i got a 64gb and mine ain't slow like his, its not been noticeably slow at all. It's not instant... sure, but its certainly not painfully slow.

    • @JonAdamsTech
      @JonAdamsTech  Місяць тому

      Yeah I’m not sure, maybe something is wrong with mine that made it worse than others

  • @Funkotronimus
    @Funkotronimus 14 днів тому +1

    I have an iPad mini 5 that was sealed in the package and another that I’ve been using for a while (just did a factory reset). The one fresh out of the box is running noticeably smoother than the one I’ve been using for over a year.

    • @JonAdamsTech
      @JonAdamsTech  14 днів тому +1

      Do the chips slow down over time? I mean a reset should clear out anything that’s bogging the chip down so it’s strange to me that some are slower than others.

    • @Funkotronimus
      @Funkotronimus 14 днів тому

      @@JonAdamsTech i swear I remember hearing something about the processor throttling performance based on the battery’s age and health. It’s possible that replacing the battery could make an old iPad feel like it’s been upgraded a generation. Aside from that, there was also a noticeable improvement in performance after doing the factory reset, but still wasn’t as smooth as the same model iPad fresh out of the box.

    Bro. I have the mini 5 since day 1. No issues at all. It never lagged or got very hot. Guess what. After the mini 7 came out. It became a hot laggy irritating mess. I can’t open notes anymore cuz it crashes. When I do open a note I have to slowly scroll down to continue where I was before. I can’t flick to scroll anymore in safari.

    I want the latest due to the triple A titles… but I am wondering if we will get a Nintendo switch 2 so I am likely waiting until after the new year. I have an ipad mini 6 256gb so I am not hurting

    • @JonAdamsTech
      @JonAdamsTech  Місяць тому +1

    at the very least, jelly scrolling is still way visible on the 7

    • @JonAdamsTech
      @JonAdamsTech  Місяць тому

      I barely noticed it on the 6, jelly scroll just isn’t a thing to be concerned with in my mind. I know people feel super strongly about it but why are these people scrolling with such intensity?!

    • @eg7u4g
      @eg7u4g Місяць тому +1

      @ I noticed on both 6 and 7. Slightly less so on the 7. I do go back to previous documents to search for a certain wordings, hence the intensity in scrolling.
      I just don’t get why it’s not evident on 5 but it does on 6 and 7, no matter the orientation.

    • @JonAdamsTech
      @JonAdamsTech  Місяць тому +1

    Im replying with my ipad mini 5, thanks for the vids , im already convinced and it’s time to upgrade to ipad mini 7 with cellular 256gb for casual usage like watching, reading and browsing thru social media. also just want to test apple intelligence cause i still have my iphone 14 pro max that doesn’t support. Im also thinking of grabbing an apple pencil pro so idk if it’s worth getting it together with ipad mini 7 for a casual user like me.

    • @JonAdamsTech
      @JonAdamsTech  Місяць тому +1

    THIS is the comparison we all needed. I can’t find one reason for my wife to upgrade her iPad mini 6 to the new one. If someone asked me I would tell them to check Apple’s website for a refurbished iPad mini 6.

  • @patburns64

    I had the mini 6 and loved it. I got impatient and traded it in for the air m2. But I missed the mini sized, so I traded the m2 air for the mini 7th gen and I am glad I did. The mini is an awesome tablet that is super portable. I don't really get the hate for the design. The iPad air has had the same design since the air
    4 in 2020. The camera moving is the only big change.
