I just got a mini. I have watched quite a few videos. All of them talk about if you should upgrade or not. Your’s is the only video that actually shows how to use it. You made a great video. I will be referring to it quite a bit. Thank You ❤
Oh my word, this was so helpful to me. About 3 weeks ago, my daughter upgraded my 5th generation to the 7th. I thought she was being a good daughter until I tried to use it. I’m not afraid of technology, but this was very intimidating. I wanted my 5th generation back, it was so intimidating. First it was talking every time I typed a letter. It took me a week to find out how to turn that off. Then, every time my phone rang it was on my Ipad. On the 5th generation you could call or answer your phone on the Ipad, but this was different my phone wasn’t ringing, the Ipad was ringing. I almost lost my mind. I think I got that fixed now, don’t know how I did it. It probably didn’t help that 2 days before she bought the Ipad, I upgraded my phone to the 16 Pro. Therefore, I was trying to learn 2 new devices, still am for that matter. This video was a great help, now I need one for the phone. Thank you.
I've been looking at buying one of these for traveling. My Samsung tab S9 is just too big and clumsy. It's good to know that the new iPad mini works with third party pens. I found the video very useful. Appreciated.
The Apple mini 6 Folio case is on eBay. Bought one brand new and box fresh from a supplier I have used before and paid 25.00. Yes it will fit the 7 if you like the colors. Bought the burnt orange.
This is a great video. I have never used apple products, but I have just ordered this ipad so I can try apple, and I will also use it a lot for lightroom mobile. So I will be leaning apple from scratch.
I bought it and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. IVE HAD ZERO ISSUES’ I HAve themini 6 and I love that one as well. I just bought the 7. Ause of apple intelligence and playground lol I READ ALL DAY and it hasn’t over heated at all
I was wondering upon unboxing what percentage of charge does it ship with? Example: if it’s only charged to 30% it is recommended you drain battery then fully-charge to 100% because it will hold its full-capacity charge in memory? Please advise👍🏽
Lots of good information, however I’m watching it on my iPad mini 5 and ready to upgrade to the 7. Could not see anything that you were doing; needed more close ups. Will watch it again when the new 7 is here. Thanks
I’m gonna keep this video because you’re showing a lot of cool things I didn’t know how to use. My iPad 7 is still at 18.0.1 on the update. I still don’t have the Apple Intelligence & Siri yet. Can’t wait to see it! Thanks for this video!
Any idea if the esr digital pencil pro will work with it ? The third party styluses haven’t updated yet whether they work with the mini 7 or not, so not sure if I should buy them
For the pencil, I'd say they are being way more than annoying by tossing out support for older styli. It's downright price gouging to force obsolescence and offer no support between models like that.

As far as I know, only US customers get a charging brick this time - I’m in the UK and we just got the cable. Maybe to make up for the lack of a SIM card tray in your iPhones? Thanks for the content.
You are right. I believe the SIM tray is better if someone wishes to use it for traveling as most countries issue a physical SIM and it's easier to swap. The charging adapter would have been nice, but you can find better ones at a reasonable price. I would recommend GaN chargers due to their smaller, portable size and less heat emission.
@@YeFansMalaysia yeah I bought it already haha, so already available. Weird that it isn’t in malaysia.. the box I got had a Bahasa information sheet so it’s def the local version that will also be sold in MY
Ah good point - something I overlooked. Hopefully people will use the time stamps to skip over the section. And hopefully it’s available asap in the EU
Don't upgrade. I bought the new one and it overheated to the point where I couldn't even hold it in my hand. I returned it and got a new one and that one overheated too, so I returned it and giving up on this new Mini.
I brought it and have been using it extensively and have had zero issues. Has not once gotten hot. I watch netflix and you tube for hours and it stays cool.
@@NeoNN1mbus it overheated just changing font size. Although Best Buy said the overheating happens if the truck that delivered it was hot and it damages the battery permanently and causes it to over heat often
U need a upgrade for what? They just pushing the inner specs like they usually do with most of the products the last years. What's wrong with this? What did u expect after the air in spring? 120 Hz ProMotion, OLED, FaceID? Why would u expect this, if it's clear, that the mini is a mini air and not a mini pro?
@@chibiribiri 120hz is a basic necessity for $500 product in 2024 whether it's called a Mini or Air or Pro. Get your head out of your a** and use those 2 brain cells before typing shit out.

I downgraded from an M4 iPad Pro. This fits my usage and needs better. It’s all the iPad I need. Thanks for the comprehensive usage review.

you can disable the volume buttons switching when you rotate the iPad

The iPads are all amazing which is why i wish apple just kept smaller phones available like the mini , here is hoping they bring them back one day

You just made me buy the Mini 7 with this amazing video. Thank you, bro!
Thank you for this useful video. It has been very helpful in my using the Mini 7 more efficiently.
Got one today and I love it

Can Scribble be used outside of Apple Notes?
You use it like any other iPad.
How might that be?
Definitely
Like 🤷🏾♂️
This is for ppl who are switching over from other tablets.
It’s my first

Is the touch id button supposed to move?
Which folio case colour would look good with the space grey iPad mini 7th Gen? Light grey, black, navy blue, or purple?
Great vid… pretty much comprehensive. Can’t wait for iOS 18.1

Whats the update ? Do they work ?
can i know the name of the black stylus

Do ipad mini's have good camera quality?
No…absolutely terrible.
The new mini isn’t bad. It’s no iPhone pro but it’s acceptable.

@@3xodusi believe the back camera is 4k and the front SHOULD be 1080 (HD)
@@destiny_elena. Yeah like, is that not enough for like 95% of buyers?
in Nederland u get the base version without charging brick. a slimmer box.
I have a 10th gen and I want this sooo bad 😭😭
I wish Apple would have improved on the design atleast the bezels
nice videos
Thank you!
Mine doesn’t have the new Siri mode :(
What software version are you running? Have you turned on Apple Intelligence?
@@iDBhaving a similar issue with mine, i’m updated to 18.0.1 but the apple intelligence tab doesn’t show up for me and the siri is the same as before
I was just at the Apple Store they told me there’s going to be an update soon for this so we will have it!
@@jlccc22you have to have language set to English (US) in Siri, and also in general settings on iPad. I just figured this out today, now I have it.
I have a metapen A8 and it doesn’t work
I am watching this from MacBook Air M1. I have 2.5k tablet for watching movies and videos. Let's watch and see if I get tempted to buy iPad mini 7.
Wtf in Europe they don’t include a charger only the cable😮😢
Feel like they could have at least reduced the bezel…….I will hang onto my 6th gen.
Planning to get one to use it as my Digital Prayer Book

CPU/GPU and RAM upgrade 😊
In Portugal (and all the EU) Apple Intelligence is not available so half of this review does not apply…
You'll need to find a video applicable to your location.
Ah good point - something I overlooked. Hopefully people will use the time stamps to skip over the section. And hopefully it’s available asap in the EU
And we don't get a plug either 😀
Compared to Android 14, IOS 18 is convoluted.
How so?
Only if you are not familiar with iPadOS.
It's so well designed and easy to use.
Does the ipad mini 7 support HDR+ and dolby vision? Does it looking good when watching movies or series?

What caused the over heating? Gaming? Cause that would be a deal breaker.

Calling it an upgrade should be a crime.

Idk. Design wise, not that good. Look at the button and front camera placement. Hardware update wise, just better then the previous one.
Watching this on an iPad mini 7 lol
no oled no buy
I have it. Nothing pro about it.
Pro chip only.
Better performance kinda

No problem for me.
I watched on 1.25x speed and had no problem understanding everything. Maybe I just hear more quickly? 😂
Plenty of bellends in this comment section.
Facts
Same size as ipad 6 mini. The only difference is the IOs.. No need to upgrade if you have ipad mini 6...
And the faster AI processor? 8GB memory? Way more storage, faster BLE and USB-C?
