    I got my iPad 9 yesterday and I’m in love. This is my first iPad ever and I went back and forth of what iPad to get and I ultimately decided on the 9. I’m glad I did because it’s perfect for my use cases and the more expensive ones were overkill for me. The mini was just too small for what I wanted out of a tablet.

      The mini is basically so you can use the second gen pencil on the go as an compliment to your job, eg pilot, engineer? Etc, also extremely portable so more of a companion all day where as other ipads will be used at home or on a stand.

    I went with the iPad mini 6 because I loved the small and powerful form factor.

I think it will be a really nice upgrade for watching movies or reading books, taking notes and drawing etc.

    I've owned all the mini range so far (except 3) and I just love their portability. I have two laptops of different sizes, so my iPad is just for media consumption and not productivity. If I did need an iPad for productivity, I would be looking at other larger options for sure. I love that I can pack my mini into my laptop/travel bag and not even notice the weight. The size is perfect for gaming too as it doesn't become cumbersome to hold after extended use. My mini 5 which was extremely well looked after just had an LCD failure (power adapter went a few months ago too). It's over €200 to fix it, so I decided just to buy the next gen mini instead.

    Just got the iPad 6 mini and I love it. It's the 64G/5G model (that was the only one available from a store near by me). Let me start with the only disappointment and thing I don't like, the fingerprint ID power button. I guess I did not do my research and just assumed this had Face ID like my iPhone and iPad Pro. It just seems a bit more cumbersome to unlock than my previous mini with the home button (I realize there's no room for a home button here). With that out of the way, everything else is gold. I don't need the extra storage of the 256G model. I use this iPad when I go places where I'll have time to websurf, read etc. I also love it for note taking. The vastly improved Apple Notes app has gotten me to give up 1Note and I'm now in the process of trying to figure out how to transition all my notes to Apple notes (hint: it ain't easy). I already had an Apple Pencil II for my pro, so I can just move it from tablet to tablet as needed. I keep it in a Fintle case I got off Amazon for $15 (it looks like an old Composition Notebook). The case has a nice place for the pencil up against the charging side. It also lets the iPad sit flat on a surface to write on so you're not flopping around on that giant camera bulge. I'm sure I could have lived without the 5G cellular but as mentioned in the video the WiFi only model does not have GPS and I really like clamping this iPad in my Jeep. It's a much better navigation aid than the built in 8" display (which does use CarPlay). Other than the fingerprint ID issue, this iPad is perfect for me.
    We just ordered the iPad 9 for my daughter for school use. Right now she's using my old Mini 5 and I'd be very surprised if she decides to keep the 9. I think the size of this one is much better.

    My reasons for getting an iPad 9 in 2023 does reveal my age a bit…being semi-retired I could afford the 256GB model, meaning I could finally copy over my complete iTunes music library, something I was unable to do on the 32/64GB iPhones I’ve been using in recent years (guess it also means I’m a bit of a cheapskate…). I also like having the option for wired audio, and I needed the packed in charger to use with my iPhone 12 Mini, which is still rocking a Lightning-port like the iPad…so there you go!

      Got to tell you - be careful with those laminated screens.
      As nice as they are - I have had TWO of my iPads that had that feature eventually develop one - or more - bright white spots on the display -that does not come off.
      Not sure how common it us but if you research online - or even look at iPads on eBay - you will see this is more common than we probably thought!
      I went with the iPad 9 with that old classic display- sure the design is a little boring I guess - but none of my previous iPads with that design had any display issues at all!

    I use my Mini almost exclusively when I travel for the following:
    #1- as a GPS unit in the car - the best GPS ever! As your pilot viewers pointed out.
    #2 - as a Sidecar or mirror screen to view video a/w my laptop on the road
    #3 - & as an eReader
    Overall these years that is about all I have used the mini for (I don't game)
    I will likely buy the new Mini 6 as my old one is on its last leg.

  • @aryaa4581
    @aryaa4581 3 місяці тому

    2 years later, I’m asking the same question (iPad 10th gen is not even a consideration for the price and lack of upgrades).
    I bought a mini 6. As much as I like it, I’m just not in love with it. It’s convenient, it’s powerful, it’s more future-proof than the iPad 9. But it just doesn’t suit my needs at the price tag. I never thought I’d have buyer’s remorse for such a wonderful product. Switching to a iPad 9. And happy with the Apple pencil 1, plethora of large size keyboard cases, audio Jack (can listen to headphones while charging simultaneously), bigger screen, etc. just fit my personal needs better. In 2024…I’m sure I’ll get 2 years out of the 3gb Ram and A13 processor with the resource hogging and slowness each iOS update introduces. But when it’s on sale, it makes it easier to swallow than a 6 mini (still an awesome machine).
    Buy the product you *need* not the product you think you need to get because it’s a better value.

    You should buy basing on your purpose or intent of usage. Both are great devices but I think it serves different purposes. I think the Ipad Mini 6 is great for entertainment/leisure. I got the Ipad Mini 6 and I use it mainly for gaming and watching shows and movies. It is the perfect size for playing since it fits your hand greatly, navigation is so easy. It is also perfect for watching movies for me since I mainly watch laying down on my bed. Meanwhile I think the Ipad 9th Gen is perfect for work or studying purposes. The larger display is great for attending online meetings and classes, great for taking notes and reading ebooks.

    Honestly I have an Iphone 8 Plus which has 4K 60fps ability, takes FAR better photos than any Ipad will, has a lot more features, and really you can't tell a difference in them at all, just the size. I'm debating on keeping the Ipad 9 or not because I just don't find it that useful, facetiming is very fuzzy, and neither camera on the 9 is very good. The wireless drops pretty easily and I haven't had problems on any of my PC's, gaming systems etc. Also the sound is loud, but honestly not nearly as loud as my phone or even my fathers Samsung Tablet. Also it's bulky, and just reminds me of a giant phone that i can't use outside of my wireless area, and probably wouldn't either. I'd choose a conventional laptop, which I have two of. Of maybe even a Chromebook. Lastly the speed on the 9 seems no different than my GF's Ipad 8, it's not INSTANT as he says in the video, but somethings are fast (enough). For $329 I just can't recommend this is you've already spend nearly $1000 or less on a nice Iphone. I rarely see people use Ipads, other than my mother who is bed ridden. Other than that, 99% of everyone I see are always on their phone(s). For EVERYTHING. So unless you're hardcore (as the video says) there's really on reason for any ipad. Honestly I use my Dell Gaming PC for pretty much EVERYTHING I do, or my laptop as I said. But these are just my thoughts. I can spend that kind of money on other things of use. But they're good for the people who like them. Great VIDEO btw, very informative!!

    Love your videos. I haven’t bought an iPad in years. I have an iPad mini 4 which I still use but vertical lines have started to appear on the screen so now I want to buy a new iPad. Apart from being on a tight budget, I also think I’d like to try a bigger display. Do you think I’d find the display on the IPad 9 just as good as the iPad mini 4 or better? Thanks.

    I want a tablet for taking notes and studying. Also for digital art. Which one should I get? The cheaper the better.

    I think the iPad 9th gen. is a better deal for the money. But I have been using a 6th gen. iPad with Apple Pencil for my hobby art needs since 2018 when I bought it new. I want to upgrade to a more powerful iPad. The iPad Air 4th gen. and iPad Pro's are too expensive for me. So I find the 6th gen. iPad mini the sweet spot. I am confident I can draw on the iPad mini just as good as my 6th gen. iPad as I've researched videos on UA-cam.
