I totally love to see you teaming up / cooperating / featuring in this video with Terry. It seems like the iPad Air is the way to go then… as long it’s blue.
Like how you are keeping the review so real. No nonsense numbers that don't tell much. Open an app on both devices at the same time give you the chance to see real difference. So simple but yet, so effective.
I bought iPad Mini6 a few months ago, and I am glad I chose it over the latest newest iPad air 5. It's so much portable and capable of doing everything I wanted to do with it when compared over the iPad air nor the iPad pro... and the content you made are so great, and also your argument. That's so cool!
I love the mini. Cutest yet most powerful device of its size. Insane portability yet great performance. Paired with the Apple Pencil, I just use them all the time everywhere. I can’t get enough of this little guy ❤️
I watch a lot of tech UA-cam. Your personality and story format and even editing combine to make one of the most refreshing channels I’ve seen in a while! Nice to see something different.
Utter coolness and style on this matchless channel. The natural face lighting from windows is ethereally sublime. And including family cameos is priceless. Please make that a staple, Terry! Daughter is so cute! iPad demonstrations are clear and helpful for me. Good to see Sagi. I think this channel is going big places; it just keeps getting even better. 💛🙏🏽
Wow, just wow!! Love your review on the Air 5 vs. the Mini6! As an average user, I’m not into the deep tech information. I want real world use in the reviews I watch!! I have the mini 6 and gave my 11” pro 2018 to my son since he’s a student and I love the form factor of the Mini. I really appreciate the content of your review!! Keep doing what you’re doing!! Subbed!!
Great job on the review. I like the actual side-by-side comparison with a comparable product (iPad Air). Your analysis of "bed-ability" shows that the iPad Mini 6 can be used for a longer period of time without fatiguing the users arms when compared with the larger Apple tablets--thank you for addressing this. Also, fantastic idea to compare export and data transfer speeds.
Another great video. iPad mini 6. You hit it right on the head. Super productive in small form factor. Bedability on point. I have the original 12.9 iPad Pro and only use it to watch sports. Pencil and usbc make the mini perfect. Don’t matter if you have b-roll. Content is king and your content was on point. On to the next video.
I agree with you Terry! If you already have a workhorse portable computer, i.e. MacBook Pro, a much more portable iPad Mini seems to me like the better choice, in my opinion. I own a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro 11” and an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I got the larger phone hoping it would bridge the gap and I’d just carry around my phone and be able to do everything on it. For which the most part I can and do. The iPad mini would be a lot closer to my phone though. Now I’m thinking of maybe next time around getting the smaller iPhone Mini and an iPad Mini and keep using my MacBook Pro for the heavy lifting. Stay safe!
Recently I chose to upgrade from a iPad Mini 5 to the 6 rather than upgrade from an Air 3 to the M1 Air. I never really needed the Air when I purchased it in 2019 because I have a laptop but I got a really good deal on it that I couldn't pass up, the iPad Mini has always been more important to me. I take it almost everywhere
I LOVE it that you include other people's opinions in this review, making it a lot more realistic and practical. Cool creativity that could easily catch on.
Definitely the mini 6 because I have an iPad Pro. You can’t beat the portability and not to mention the power that the mini 6 has. By the way my seven year old loved my mini so much that I had to buy her one. If I did not she was going to take mine. 😂😂 Love how you included your family in the video.
This little girl is going places! A smart little cookie.. She gathers facts and specs before making her decision! You're doing a great job as a father!
For me, it boils down to do you own a desktop, or a laptop. If you have a desktop, then a big ipad with a keyboard makes sense, where as if you already have something portable like a macbook, then getting the ipad mini makes more sense for even more portability when needed.
Bed-ability (definitely a word in my book)... couch potato-ability, chillaxin'-ability, riding on a crowded train-ability,... That's what I'm looking for. The iPad Mini 6 is preferable for me. I have a laptop, so I'm just looking for a portable/comfortable tablet to run around with that will allow me to take care of business or to relax with. The iPad Air 5 would be overkill for me. Great video.
Hands down, this was the best review of the ipad mini 6 that I've seen throughout my ipad mini 6 youtube review binge. Most youtubers speak on the specs but you were the only one that described the benefits/cons of its everyday use! Honestly i'm torn between the ipad air5 vs the ipad mini 6, however I think i'll be getting the mini instead. For my work, I need to use a work laptop provided by my hospital which has information on patient details stored in them. I can't use my own laptop, therefore what i'm looking for is basically a tablet to note down some important tasks/casual content consumption and online meetings. I also plan to get the cellular version, and mount the ipad mini in my car. Not to mention, being able to pull out the mini and use it in public without drawing too much attention to myself is a huge W in my books as well. Great video man! I hope to see more content such as this from you! P/s i like b rolls, it pulls my attention to the video better. i hope you could include them! :P
FEEDBACK - This video showed up at the top of my UA-cam main suggestions feed, probably because I'd watched some other videos about the iPad Mini 5. Here's what got me to watch the entire video and subscribe half-way through and then comment... I don't know about UA-cam viewers, but for me, it didn't matter that you don't use lots of animation, fancy transitions, B-roll, professional stock music soundtracks, 3D renderings, an expensive studio, the best RED cameras for production, 8K output, etc. None of that stuff matters to me. I feel like a lot of UA-camrs must be spending WAY too much time on production and spending money on equipment that they don't really need. What impressed me with this video was the quality, thoroughness, and relevance of your review. You did a lot of good transitions to different locations at home and had product video while you were talking. That provides the diversity of visuals that help avoid monotony. Also, at 2m 38s, when you start making some nutritious delicious food, I really liked that aspect of keeping things genuine, and that was like a PSA for healthy eating and people knowing how to cook for themselves. Having your family in the video is nice. It's very cool to see Sagi of Tech Gear Talk. He also has a nice sincere delivery in his videos. I hope the feedback helps. I'll be looking forward to more great content in the future.
I have not seen any reviewers talk about using the tablets in public!! That’s a big feature for me since I have young kids. Videos cut down on a LOT of fighting and noise while eating at restaurants 😅 Plus my mini5 (looking to upgrade) fits so well in every bag I use!
I don't own an ipad yet, still doing my research. So glad I came across your channel! I really appreciate the side by side comparison of Air 5 and Mini! it's great you pointed out that one thing, I do have macbook pro so, having ipad mini would make more sense because of it's portability and functions.
I liked the way you asked the question, have you ever been torn. I was leaning toward the Mini but thought about a bigger screen for less money, but would I really be happy. I have a MacBook Air and I wouldn’t carry that around because of it’s size, so when you and the Mrs was at the resturant, that sealed the deal for me. Pulling out a whole laptop would not have been a good look, unless you were at Starbucks. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for not using B-role. I like that you were straight to the point about the iPad Air and Mini. I like that you asked your fams opinion about the iPads as well. Great Video. This video felt natural and easy to watch.
Straight up real-life, real-use review! I'm in the market for a table. Already in the Apple ecosystem. Have an M1 laptop and and an iPhone 12 Pro Max...but want a tablet, specifically for the purposes you described. New sub here. Appreciate your real, down to earth approach.
Right? I can flip it the phone comparison to the mini and say…I have to work travel with a laptop, why do I need a similar size air 5 after case bulk etc? Right now, returning the air 5 for the mini for travel and see what happens…. (This is my first iPad too btw, of course family members have had them I just never have)
mini 6 Is just awesome. it fits in between a phone and a tablet. even though it's classified as a tablet. I run payroll, reply emails, office 365, HBO MAX. I's good for business on the go. navigation you name it, TV. I throw the whole 9yrds at it. plus it's contains my sim card. it fits in my pocket. I'm truck driver. My key word is "Portable"Thanks for your video.
Thanks for this video. I have an iPad Mini 6 and have been contemplating moving to an iPad Air because I do edit photos on it, but most of my use is media consumption. Because of this video I'm going to save myself some money and just keep using my iPad Mini. You just got a new sub
Using the iPad mini 6 made me realize I hated using my iPad Pro. Personally, it's the perfect size, and I've used this far more in its first few days than I did the Pro in its first few months. But let's see how it performs over the next few months.
@@jellyjellies2573 I like it. It performs well. I'm mainly using it for work, and take it with me when I travel and never think of it as unnecessary or a burden like I did the larger Pro.
@@Listen2Lyrics1 oops, sorry, didn't see this! I like it. It performs well. I'm mainly using it for work, and take it with me when I travel and never think of it as unnecessary or a burden like I did the larger Pro.
I don’t have a laptop, I hope to use this for taking notes during classes. Which is better ? iPad mini 6 or Air 5? I have been thinking but couldn’t decide yet. Thanks
Great review!! Am actually debating whether to upgrade mini 4 to mini 6 vs upgrade ipad 6 to ipad air 5. For my use your comparisons assure me that for nonprofessional use the differences in import and export or even app loading won't really matter. Plus points for both tablets are usb-c ports, 5g option, pencil-2nd gen compatability. For the mini 6...bigger screen than mini 4 is nicer, yet still very portable. For air m1...bigger screen than ipad 6 but not awkwardly big like pro 12.9 for carrying around, yet not as portable as the mini. Also 11" screen really is easier for some things for folks with over 40 eyes, where teeny tiny font sizes have become really annoying and are even worse on smaller screens....and NO ONE wants to enlarge then scroll side to side to read stuff. (HINT: use decent font sizes, people) . So, which one to get? Right now leaning toward keeping mini 4 until a mini has the newer chip, wait on ipad pro until it has the M2 chip(if that is a decent upgrade to the M1), get the ipad air M1 with 256gb and 5g. Ideally, having both mini 6 and m1 pro 11" would be great, but is too expensive. BUT...need the usb-c port and 5g. FYI...Lumafusion runs great on ipad mini 4 or ipad 6, BUT loading and offloading thru a lightning port is not fun. Just my thoughts, though could change after more research...
Hey man. Excellent vid. I am currently trying to decide between these 2 and you made a good point with already having a MacBook Pro for a bigger screen, so I think I will go with the mini. Cheers mate!!
I like the flow of your videos. More like chatting with a friend or someone you meet at a store and hit it off and have a great convo rather than just another cookie cutter review or comparison.
My new go-to guy for reviews. Bed-ability...you get it! Also, it's not about comparing devices without including what other Apple devices you own. I'm keeping the Mini since I don't need it with a 16 MBP, 12.9 Pro, and an iPhone 13 Pro instead of the max.
I am returning my new 12.9 iPad Pro for mini. Just tooooo big. Use my new 14 inch Mac Pro for more work intensive things. Love the mini led on pro pad but again for watching content more bothersome to actually use . Getting the mini to just watch vids and browse. Plus I can get max headphones and mini for same price as 12.9 ipad ! Done. Good vid
Have both Mini 6 and Air 5, also Mcbook Pro 13 2020 ... Mini for portability, conf bridge and quick mail reading anywhere, mcbook for excel, programing and other items outside office where keyboard is a must have, Air 5 mostly for touch big screen where keyboard is not the main point and pencil will suffice where both Mini, iMac or bookPro can't offer .. (also had iMac for other purposes but not a portable one ...)
I just found your channel and by God!! These are the kind of reviews I want to see. This style of review is most helpful I think. Subscribed. Keep up the good content 👍. Tech Gear is good too. I have been subscribed there for a long time now.
Written June 3, 2022 The important thing is which iPad you need for you daily life and consider the pros/cons of both. For example, I bought an iPad mini 5 as my first iPad in 256gb storage because I wanted to use it as a gaming/movie/media hub so, out of my 37 ps1-ps4 games on it, I’ve used 133gb total with plenty storage left for movies. The iPad Air has a obvious advantage being larger but that also presents cons like faster uncomfortable holding the longer you hold it. The Mini 6 is better at longer holding but suffers if you truly need a bigger screen Both do the same thing on IpadOS so a bigger screen don’t really matter unless you use it in a creative job. They both are portable but if you need a bigger screen, hook it a USBC in the iPad mini to a tv or computer and boom, you got yourself a iPad Air Edit: also a magnetic keyboard for the Air is nearly 400$ and it’s not very stable.
I want the Mini for portability but I sure will miss my Magic Keyboard if I switch. Literally trying to downgrade from a 12.9” iPad Pro to the iPad Mini 6 😂
MY decision: got iPad mini 6 with smallest storage. Now saving up for a much older Pro with a terabyte+ to transfer art I do on the mini AND can still do larger projects on the Pro. The main point of the mini is to be a hotspot because we can’t get internet where we are. (U went to “ur actually TALKING about Bruno..” to calling that a “cookie sheet” So many “Amen” moments while laughing. I LOVE this. I also adore that girl. She’s intelligent and seems good at problem solving/decision making. That’s SO important n not all kids have that ability. No doubt she got this from the family in her life cause they don’t teach common sense in schools ANYwhere. Good job with everything in this upload 👍👍👍)
I have a Mini 5. I wanted to upgrade to a Mini 6 or Air 5 for the 5g and wifi6 capabilities. I do lots of landscape art, cute character illustrations, and make stickers, pins, logos etc. I thought I wanted to try a larger screen, but I also value the tiny portability cause when I go places (Dr waiting rooms, parks with the kids, traveling shotgun, etc). It fits in my purse/bag. I ALSO relate to feeling like a Dbag pulling out my device places. Ppl gonna judge u for that. Hell when I got an Apple Watch, I wouldn’t wear it unless I could hide it under a sleeve of jacket. I came from a poor family (think chocolate bread for breakfast and Mayo sandwiches for lunch lol).
I’m gonna be honest, on paper the iPad Air 5 is a beast, but seeing it neck and neck with the iPad mini 6 is pretty crazy. we are talking like 30 seconds difference… That’s crazy to think about… I have a 12.9” Pro for all my crazy stuff. I just bought a Mini 6 for portability and travel.. It was between that or selling the 12.9” and going with an Air 5 or a 11” pro… I’ll stick with my 12.9” pro and mini 6 for now.
Real talk thanks for the review man. I was in between the Air and the Mini for a while now I know the mini is worth the price especially since its the smaller form factor and it'll get the job done
This is my first time to your channel. Thanks for the great video! I use the Mini 6 as the monitor on my drone controller, and then for editing video and photos. I love it! It renders video way faster than my MacBook Pro or my tricked out Dell. Like you mentioned, I love it for the couch. I edit video with my Apple pencil and I think it's as fast as doing it on a laptop. Thanks again for the video. Love the style!
I got myself the Air 5. I absolutely love it and I feel like the only difference from the Mini is the size. But the iPad Air is better for me for my school work and any tasks that I need a bigger screen for. And I use it with the new external monitor support in iOS 16.2 so it really becomes a good laptop replacement
I use it for my drones, as well. It works great - plenty bright regardless of what others say. I also use it for editing my drone videos and photos. The USB C port makes it really easy to transfer files. I'm using Lumafusion for video editing, and love it. It has an easy learning curve and good functionality for most things.
I love my iPad Mini 6. I am a reporter/photographer and abstract artist. You can get Bluetooth keyboards with a slot thing you can rest it in. Pairs up to three devices. Bigger, I like Arteck. Arteck stays on your lap easier, like at a meeting, and it has a numeric keypad. Smaller, liking Macally. Eventually plan to get a Magic Trackpad just for iPad Mini 6, but the Apple Pencil goes a long way.
If you're strictly using your iPad for 85-90% note taking, gaming, and streaming than the iPad Mini is the best option. If you're using this for that and quick emailing, plugging into work and/or school related functions/apps and needing a keyboard then the iPad Air is the way to go. BTW the idea that one is more portable isn't truly a factor due to both would require a case and a bag to carry.
Yeah I have the mini. I love the size but I need to write essays and do light editing. If it came with a magic keyboard I could do it but it doesn't so I'm thinking of the iPad air. It's a shame there isn't a size in between the mini and other iPad.
Well ..we all know the ipad air > mini.... But we all have our own reason.... I just buy ipad mini....it a bit pricey if compare to ipad air.... But i like portable...
great video dude, it really depends on what you will be doing on the devices, the Air 5 is definelty better for like exporting high end videos and projects but not like transfer speeds because it has M1 but the mini 6 is excellent and the A15 chip with the 5 core gpu is still excellent
Outstanding video! Really feel like your recording style is new, very refreshing for a tech review. I'm leaning towards the iPad mini 6, I think it would be a nice combo with my iPhone 12 mini and eventually a Linux-ified 2015 MacBook Pro if I get one 😄
I just got an Air 5. Paid $499 for the 64GB which is a decent price. I have a 16” M1 MacBook Pro too. Never getting a keyboard for my iPad. I want to be able to take notes and mark up PDFs. Considering returning the Air 5 to get the latest Mini. Thoughts?
I really enjoy your content and your honest opinion between the 2 iPads but my question is which one will be best for college ? since I am a student I already have a laptop it isn’t a MacBook laptop but it gets the job done I’m just looking for something to carry around from place to place instead of taking my laptop and maybe do some homework from canvas hopefully you get to read my message thank you and keep up the good content 🤙🏻🔥
Lack of RAM on the Mini put me off getting it. I've owned a 3GB RAM iPad and it just wasn't stable with a lot of games and apps crashing. Not had any of those problems with the Air 5
New subscriber here! I'm still torn don't know which one I need 🤨 I've a mac book pro for video editing with FCP. Ive had the older mini before loved the portability. Then I saw the Air & loved the screen real estate. I'll be using whichever I choose mainly for photo editing, watching movies, reading books, browsing the web etc.
Your daughter actually had great questions about the tablets especially for a child super smart she asked what about the storage and prices at the end of the day that's pretty much what it comes down to versus screen sizes I'm waiting for an iPad mini 7 Pro to replace all my gadgets because I'm constructed differently for this realm
If u have Macbook Air, just go for Ipad Mini, because Ipad Air 11 inch is too Close with Macbook, and 11 inch is not suitable hold it walking around, but Ipad Mini is suitable to hold it to walk around
I went with the Air 5 256GB. I mainly edit photos on it. Some video editing via LumaFusion. I can from the first iPad Pro way back with the lightning cable lol. I was due for an upgrade. So far I love it. And the blue color is amazing.
@@bhrye570 I honestly can't tell the difference in 60 and 120. others might but I can't. Also I'd rather have 256 vs 128 GB. they both have M1 and perform very similar. save that money lol.
Same with me I had the original iPad Pro 9.7 inch and loved it. I just got the air 5 with the M1 both have 256 GB storage. Which is the minimum I can work with. The old pro served me well. But this air 5 with M1 is awesome.🙂
Been on the fence for the mini so hard 'cause I hate browsing safari, reading articles twitter etc on a phone. But my 12.9 is cumbersome. I just feel weird and have trouble justifying owning two ipads lol. I appreciate this review and comparison though - real world tests over benchmarks every time.
Hmm, if that's the case for you, I'd suggest considering the option of returning your 12.9 inch. I will say, you absolutely don't have to, and if you like all the benefits the Pro gives you that's not on the Mini 6 or other iPad, then that may not be an option. If you feel like you get enough use out of the 12.9 and utilize to your needs, then I guess you could keep it and get a smaller iPad. I would personally return the 12.9 and get a Mini or Air if it's really that cumbersome and not doing you justice. But hey, that's my opinion and 2 cents. (on a different account) Oh, and have you considered Android tablets, or do they not seem like an option for you?
He said "cookie sheet". You know that blue is the way to go Terry! (love the format of this video).

I love my mini…perfect in every way. Definitely more travel compatible. My MacBook has an m1 so I’m fine with what’s in the iPad mini 6
Probably one of the best reviews I have ever seen on UA-cam. Fun fresh and on point. Love your style bro. Love my mini!! Space Grey!
Straight up real-life, real-use review! I'm in the market for a table. Already in the Apple ecosystem. Have an M1 laptop and and an iPhone 12 Pro Max...but want a tablet, specifically for the purposes you described. New sub here. Appreciate your real, down to earth approach.
Right? I can flip it the phone comparison to the mini and say…I have to work travel with a laptop, why do I need a similar size air 5 after case bulk etc? Right now, returning the air 5 for the mini for travel and see what happens…. (This is my first iPad too btw, of course family members have had them I just never have)
mini 6 Is just awesome. it fits in between a phone and a tablet. even though it's classified as a tablet. I run payroll, reply emails, office 365, HBO MAX. I's good for business on the go. navigation you name it, TV. I throw the whole 9yrds at it. plus it's contains my sim card. it fits in my pocket. I'm truck driver. My key word is "Portable"Thanks for your video.
Thanks for this video. I have an iPad Mini 6 and have been contemplating moving to an iPad Air because I do edit photos on it, but most of my use is media consumption. Because of this video I'm going to save myself some money and just keep using my iPad Mini. You just got a new sub
Bedability may not be a word but it should be! Thank you for testing that since it is a very relevant use case.
Excellent, informative video! I like the tag teaming you did with your family and friend, too.
Using the iPad mini 6 made me realize I hated using my iPad Pro. Personally, it's the perfect size, and I've used this far more in its first few days than I did the Pro in its first few months. But let's see how it performs over the next few months.
Would like to hear an update if possible!
Hey, any update? 😂👍
@@jellyjellies2573 I like it. It performs well. I'm mainly using it for work, and take it with me when I travel and never think of it as unnecessary or a burden like I did the larger Pro.
@@Listen2Lyrics1 oops, sorry, didn't see this!

Great comparison video and love to see the collab with another creator that I appreciate as well. Nice job!
I don’t have a laptop, I hope to use this for taking notes during classes. Which is better ? iPad mini 6 or Air 5? I have been thinking but couldn’t decide yet. Thanks
Great review!! Am actually debating whether to upgrade mini 4 to mini 6 vs upgrade ipad 6 to ipad air 5. For my use your comparisons assure me that for nonprofessional use the differences in import and export or even app loading won't really matter. Plus points for both tablets are usb-c ports, 5g option, pencil-2nd gen compatability.
For the mini 6...bigger screen than mini 4 is nicer, yet still very portable.
For air m1...bigger screen than ipad 6 but not awkwardly big like pro 12.9 for carrying around, yet not as portable as the mini. Also 11" screen really is easier for some things for folks with over 40 eyes, where teeny tiny font sizes have become really annoying and are even worse on smaller screens....and NO ONE wants to enlarge then scroll side to side to read stuff. (HINT: use decent font sizes, people) .
So, which one to get? Right now leaning toward keeping mini 4 until a mini has the newer chip, wait on ipad pro until it has the M2 chip(if that is a decent upgrade to the M1), get the ipad air M1 with 256gb and 5g.
Ideally, having both mini 6 and m1 pro 11" would be great, but is too expensive. BUT...need the usb-c port and 5g. FYI...Lumafusion runs great on ipad mini 4 or ipad 6, BUT loading and offloading thru a lightning port is not fun. Just my thoughts, though could change after more research...
Hey man. Excellent vid. I am currently trying to decide between these 2 and you made a good point with already having a MacBook Pro for a bigger screen, so I think I will go with the mini. Cheers mate!!
I really enjoyed how you involved your family. It made the video fun and friendly as well as very helpful. Thanks.
Great review. This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
I like the flow of your videos. More like chatting with a friend or someone you meet at a store and hit it off and have a great convo rather than just another cookie cutter review or comparison.
My new go-to guy for reviews. Bed-ability...you get it! Also, it's not about comparing devices without including what other Apple devices you own. I'm keeping the Mini since I don't need it with a 16 MBP, 12.9 Pro, and an iPhone 13 Pro instead of the max.
BEST VIDEO EVER, THANK YOU. Most realistic honest comparison on UA-cam. I am keeping my Mini 6
I don’t have an iPad but I’ve been watching so many videos reviewing the Mini 6 or the new iPad Air 🙄 I think I’m leaning more towards the mini 6 🤔
Wow such a great video! You really went through very practical use cases that helped me see the difference in owning both. Thanks! 🎉🎉
This is probably the most use full comparison Ive seen.
I am returning my new 12.9 iPad Pro for mini. Just tooooo big. Use my new 14 inch Mac Pro for more work intensive things. Love the mini led on pro pad but again for watching content more bothersome to actually use . Getting the mini to just watch vids and browse. Plus I can get max headphones and mini for same price as 12.9 ipad ! Done. Good vid
Have both Mini 6 and Air 5, also Mcbook Pro 13 2020 ... Mini for portability, conf bridge and quick mail reading anywhere, mcbook for excel, programing and other items outside office where keyboard is a must have, Air 5 mostly for touch big screen where keyboard is not the main point and pencil will suffice where both Mini, iMac or bookPro can't offer .. (also had iMac for other purposes but not a portable one ...)
I just bought a refurbished mini 6
The kid is so smart! Reminds me of my niece.
I just found your channel and by God!! These are the kind of reviews I want to see. This style of review is most helpful I think. Subscribed. Keep up the good content 👍. Tech Gear is good too. I have been subscribed there for a long time now.
All the right topics covered without making it too complicated from speakers to bed! Subscribed
thank you!! youre video really helped me make my decision. I will be getting the iPad mini!!
Excellent comparison! I do love the size of the Mini 6 and I have it with me all the time. If I can master Lumafusion on it, then I'm all set.
Written June 3, 2022
The important thing is which iPad you need for you daily life and consider the pros/cons of both. For example, I bought an iPad mini 5 as my first iPad in 256gb storage because I wanted to use it as a gaming/movie/media hub so, out of my 37 ps1-ps4 games on it, I’ve used 133gb total with plenty storage left for movies.
The iPad Air has a obvious advantage being larger but that also presents cons like faster uncomfortable holding the longer you hold it.
The Mini 6 is better at longer holding but suffers if you truly need a bigger screen
Both do the same thing on IpadOS so a bigger screen don’t really matter unless you use it in a creative job. They both are portable but if you need a bigger screen, hook it a USBC in the iPad mini to a tv or computer and boom, you got yourself a iPad Air
Edit: also a magnetic keyboard for the Air is nearly 400$ and it’s not very stable.
I want the Mini for portability but I sure will miss my Magic Keyboard if I switch. Literally trying to downgrade from a 12.9” iPad Pro to the iPad Mini 6 😂
I downgraded m1 11" to mini 6, no r3grets
You do the best and most real interviews ever! Thanks!
Great video man! You really helped me with my conclusion
Mini for me because of portability. With me to show friends photos, my quick CapCut movies and more.
But, in mind I like Air 5 tooooo.
MY decision: got iPad mini 6 with smallest storage. Now saving up for a much older Pro with a terabyte+ to transfer art I do on the mini AND can still do larger projects on the Pro.
The main point of the mini is to be a hotspot because we can’t get internet where we are.
(U went to “ur actually TALKING about Bruno..” to calling that a “cookie sheet”
So many “Amen” moments while laughing. I LOVE this. I also adore that girl. She’s intelligent and seems good at problem solving/decision making. That’s SO important n not all kids have that ability. No doubt
she got this from the family in her life cause they don’t teach common sense in schools ANYwhere.
Good job with everything in this upload 👍👍👍)
I have a Mini 5. I wanted to upgrade to a Mini 6 or Air 5 for the 5g and wifi6 capabilities. I do lots of landscape art, cute character illustrations, and make stickers, pins, logos etc. I thought I wanted to try a larger screen, but I also value the tiny portability cause when I go places (Dr waiting rooms, parks with the kids, traveling shotgun, etc). It fits in my purse/bag. I ALSO relate to feeling like a Dbag pulling out my device places. Ppl gonna judge u for that. Hell when I got an Apple Watch, I wouldn’t wear it unless I could hide it under a sleeve of jacket.
I came from a poor family (think chocolate bread for breakfast and Mayo sandwiches for lunch lol).
see one thing about black people we be creating words "bedability" lmaoooooo
No shutup black people love to think they all that I’m tired of y’all😐
I’m gonna be honest, on paper the iPad Air 5 is a beast, but seeing it neck and neck with the iPad mini 6 is pretty crazy. we are talking like 30 seconds difference… That’s crazy to think about… I have a 12.9” Pro for all my crazy stuff. I just bought a Mini 6 for portability and travel.. It was between that or selling the 12.9” and going with an Air 5 or a 11” pro… I’ll stick with my 12.9” pro and mini 6 for now.
Bedability definitely a category
Not sure how i never saw you before. Love this review. ⭐️
Real talk thanks for the review man. I was in between the Air and the Mini for a while now I know the mini is worth the price especially since its the smaller form factor and it'll get the job done
This is my first time to your channel. Thanks for the great video! I use the Mini 6 as the monitor on my drone controller, and then for editing video and photos. I love it! It renders video way faster than my MacBook Pro or my tricked out Dell. Like you mentioned, I love it for the couch. I edit video with my Apple pencil and I think it's as fast as doing it on a laptop. Thanks again for the video. Love the style!
Hi there! Did you get the 64b or 256gb version for your usage? And wifi or cellular?
Thank you for this...trying to decide what to buy...going with your recommendation! You have a lovely family....
I got myself the Air 5. I absolutely love it and I feel like the only difference from the Mini is the size. But the iPad Air is better for me for my school work and any tasks that I need a bigger screen for. And I use it with the new external monitor support in iOS 16.2 so it really becomes a good laptop replacement
very relaxing and informative video. enjoyed it
I use my mini 6 for my DJI mini 2 drone. Works perfectly. Great review. This was the review I was looking for.
I use it for my drones, as well. It works great - plenty bright regardless of what others say.
I also use it for editing my drone videos and photos. The USB C port makes it really easy to transfer files. I'm using Lumafusion for video editing, and love it. It has an easy learning curve and good functionality for most things.
Also I didn’t even realize you that you didn’t use B-Roll. I think because you kept changing locations, it made the post interesting.
iPhone 13 mini + iPad Mini 6 and a Macbook Pro is a nice combo.
I love my iPad Mini 6. I am a reporter/photographer and abstract artist. You can get Bluetooth keyboards with a slot thing you can rest it in. Pairs up to three devices. Bigger, I like Arteck. Arteck stays on your lap easier, like at a meeting, and it has a numeric keypad. Smaller, liking Macally. Eventually plan to get a Magic Trackpad just for iPad Mini 6, but the Apple Pencil goes a long way.
My kid picked the iPad 9th gen over the Mini 6 too for the same reasons as your daughter.
Mini for me..i have laptop and desk top so the smaller form factor wins out :)
Great comparison video! Thank you!
The points you brought up were spot on! subscribed.
If you're strictly using your iPad for 85-90% note taking, gaming, and streaming than the iPad Mini is the best option. If you're using this for that and quick emailing, plugging into work and/or school related functions/apps and needing a keyboard then the iPad Air is the way to go. BTW the idea that one is more portable isn't truly a factor due to both would require a case and a bag to carry.
Yeah I have the mini. I love the size but I need to write essays and do light editing. If it came with a magic keyboard I could do it but it doesn't so I'm thinking of the iPad air. It's a shame there isn't a size in between the mini and other iPad.
Well ..we all know the ipad air > mini.... But we all have our own reason.... I just buy ipad mini....it a bit pricey if compare to ipad air.... But i like portable...
great video dude, it really depends on what you will be doing on the devices, the Air 5 is definelty better for like exporting high end videos and projects but not like transfer speeds because it has M1 but the mini 6 is excellent and the A15 chip with the 5 core gpu is still excellent
Thank you!! You helped me make up my mind. I was originally leaning towards the iPad Air 5 but since I have my MacBook Pro, I’ll get the iPad mini 6.🤗
Outstanding video! Really feel like your recording style is new, very refreshing for a tech review.
I'm leaning towards the iPad mini 6, I think it would be a nice combo with my iPhone 12 mini and eventually a Linux-ified 2015 MacBook Pro if I get one 😄
I just got an Air 5. Paid $499 for the 64GB which is a decent price. I have a 16” M1 MacBook Pro too. Never getting a keyboard for my iPad. I want to be able to take notes and mark up PDFs. Considering returning the Air 5 to get the latest Mini. Thoughts?
Watched like 50.videos on iPad mini vs air… this is the best. Going with the mini since I have a mb pro m3.
I really enjoy your content and your honest opinion between the 2 iPads but my question is which one will be best for college ? since I am a student I already have a laptop it isn’t a MacBook laptop but it gets the job done I’m just looking for something to carry around from place to place instead of taking my laptop and maybe do some homework from canvas hopefully you get to read my message thank you and keep up the good content 🤙🏻🔥
Space grey iPad mini, for the win!
I have both. I think they are complimentary.
Lack of RAM on the Mini put me off getting it. I've owned a 3GB RAM iPad and it just wasn't stable with a lot of games and apps crashing. Not had any of those problems with the Air 5
New subscriber here! I'm still torn don't know which one I need 🤨 I've a mac book pro for video editing with FCP. Ive had the older mini before loved the portability. Then I saw the Air & loved the screen real estate. I'll be using whichever I choose mainly for photo editing, watching movies, reading books, browsing the web etc.
Tech Gear Talk made a good point. The mini is nice BUT it’s too close to my phone so iPad Air would be my choice.
Your daughter actually had great questions about the tablets especially for a child super smart she asked what about the storage and prices at the end of the day that's pretty much what it comes down to versus screen sizes I'm waiting for an iPad mini 7 Pro to replace all my gadgets because I'm constructed differently for this realm
By the way, you don’t have to close apps manually! iOS and PadOS are so optimised that it’s actually better to let them run in the background
Not gonna lie lmao when you randomly started cooking that took me by surprise
AMEN on the lack of a "clear-all function!" I think that at least a few times a week!
the little girl asking questions, she speaks for all of us. Somethings you just got to know before buying one
If u have Macbook Air, just go for Ipad Mini, because Ipad Air 11 inch is too Close with Macbook, and 11 inch is not suitable hold it walking around, but Ipad Mini is suitable to hold it to walk around
I prefer the mini 6 because I only use it for media consumption. When I need a tablet for productivity, I’ll go with the iPad Pro 11-inch display.
Do you think I can still do quality video editing with the iPad mini 6 chip and ability? Or should I get a Pro?
I went with the Air 5 256GB. I mainly edit photos on it. Some video editing via LumaFusion. I can from the first iPad Pro way back with the lightning cable lol. I was due for an upgrade. So far I love it. And the blue color is amazing.
Why didn't you consider the ipad pro 11' 128gb with better screen, 120hz srr, ?
@@bhrye570 I honestly can't tell the difference in 60 and 120. others might but I can't. Also I'd rather have 256 vs 128 GB. they both have M1 and perform very similar. save that money lol.
@@one901 sounds great 👍👍👍
Same with me I had the original iPad Pro 9.7 inch and loved it. I just got the air 5 with the M1 both have 256 GB storage. Which is the minimum I can work with. The old pro served me well. But this air 5 with M1 is awesome.🙂
@@windjammerzz I’m definitely enjoying the USB C!
Been on the fence for the mini so hard 'cause I hate browsing safari, reading articles twitter etc on a phone. But my 12.9 is cumbersome. I just feel weird and have trouble justifying owning two ipads lol.
I appreciate this review and comparison though - real world tests over benchmarks every time.
Hmm, if that's the case for you, I'd suggest considering the option of returning your 12.9 inch. I will say, you absolutely don't have to, and if you like all the benefits the Pro gives you that's not on the Mini 6 or other iPad, then that may not be an option.
If you feel like you get enough use out of the 12.9 and utilize to your needs, then I guess you could keep it and get a smaller iPad. I would personally return the 12.9 and get a Mini or Air if it's really that cumbersome and not doing you justice. But hey, that's my opinion and 2 cents. (on a different account)
Oh, and have you considered Android tablets, or do they not seem like an option for you?
Love the real world comparisons and talking to your family about it
