Who's buying an iPad mini 6 this year? And what are you going to do with it?
Honestly...your Paperlike ad spots are making want to get an iPad Mini!🤣🤣
Jelly screen, poor battery
Just got mine today. Going to use it for reading apple news and kindle and also to take to work. I have a ipad air 5th gen with the M1 at my workstation mounted and connected to an external DAC and headphone amp. Its my media machine while I am working.
well I bought one last summer.. upgraded all of my apple stuff last year! iphone 13pro, ipad mini 6 and the star of the show, m3pro 14".. I use the macbook for most stuff but the ipad is great for kicking back with some lighter stuff when the phone would be a little small. Mostly use it for youtube, web and occasional sketches with a cheap amazon pencil
@@yurad7429 No such problems for me.
Give it the a17 pro chip, Face ID and 120hz and it will sell like hot cakes.
100%, even if it was a few hundred bucks more expensive I would buy it right now.
I definitely agree. I had mini 4, mini 6 and in 2022 I switched to 11’ pro. I’d love to come back to mini because of its size - but -> I need 120 hz display and same pencil features as on pro version.
The same but the battery😢
and a keyboard would be nice
I don’t get it. Where do you guys live? I am based in Germany and I have never ever seen a person using an ipad mini. Literally everyone is using a 12.9 inch Pro or an 11 inch Pro. Very rarely I see people with a normal ipad or an air, but never a mini. That’s why I do not get when people praise the mini.
Sold my 12.9 inch iPad pro to buy one of these a while ago and don't regret it. Not being able to hold for longer than 20mins when consuming media and having to place on a table when sketching on the iPad pro turned out to be a deal breaker and meant I barely used it. Being able to hold in one hand an take notes in the other meant I could stand in meetings and still take notes and also was more likely to pick it up and take to meetings in the first place. Being able to hold it for longer than 20mins for media consumption meant I could use in in places like on the underground, waiting areas and on the sofa and again more likely to pick up and take with me the first place.
thanks, that’s what I needed to hear. Just bought a mini 6 used with 256GB for 400€. My guess is I can sell it for 300€+ any time to upgrade. I guess I will not feel like spending 800€+ for a new mini 7 ones it comes out and the differences might be not that big.
Totally agree, I bought mine over a month ago and it’s been with me for everything 😅 note taking, creating slides for presentations, reading. Second device for teams meeting UA-cam watching.
I purchased an iPad mini 6 in August 2023. I used it every day. It was perfect.
Then I started thinking I needed a larger screen. I traded in my mini fur an Air 5. After using it for 4 weeks, I deeply regret getting it. 😢
My new mini 6 arrived tomorrow, and my air 5 will be going to a new home as soon as possible. ❤
I would love that iPad are u selling? Or for free?
😅😅😅😅 you got me!! I am the one, waiting, checking the air, checking the mini .. back and forth! I think u are right! I buy a mini 6 and don’t wait longer! Thanks man
I'm a fan of the Mini line but my answer is 'no'.
The device dates from 2021 and we're in 2024, which is a lot when you consider the price of the device (not forgetting that in Europe the price of this device has jumped by €200 for no reason in 3 years).
What's more, with hindsight, if we put aside the aesthetic change, the mini 6 isn't much different from the mini 5.
When the mini 6 came out, I was tempted to sell my mini 5. In the end, I'm still with the mini 5, which after 6 years is still supported by iPadOS and still meets my needs (ebooks and multimedia consumption).
I have an 11" iPad Pro that just sits there collecting dust; I'm going to reach for my phone or sit at the computer 99 out of 100 times.
I only recently purchased the iPad Mini 6, to use with mobile trading apps, because of the low low price of $380! Now I can fall asleep to UA-cam, check charts without getting out of bed, and have a fully charged phone in the morning!
Get it. I just got one a few weeks back on Amazon for $100 less than list. Favorite iPad so far. Don’t even notice it’s smaller. Fits in my back jeans pocket and is so portable to travel with. I used to have a 1st gen 11 inch iPad Pro and like the iPad mini 6 even better.
well in my country, Malaysia almost of Apple authorised resellers don't stock any ipad mini 6 anymore unless I buy Apple online so that could be an indication
Just got mine at Machines Pavilion Damansara few weeks back - may want to try there?
I'm waiting for the 7. Yes, it's annoying!
I feel your pain.
My gen 5 is so old it recently joined a senior citizen pickleball league.
I’ve been debating just settling for a gen 6 but I know how that sneaky weasel Tim Apple operates. He’s waiting on me to finalize my purchase to drop that iPad mini 7 keynote.
Just bought the iPad mini last week. Coming from a Mac Pro and iPad Pro, which I was using for work. Figured out a new work flow that doesn’t need the iPad Pro. I love the iPad mini. My favourite device. And I’ve owned most of apples devices. I stood in line years ago to get the first iPad mini
you spent full price on a 2.5 year old tech . new one coming out soon
@@johnc1873 oh apple officially announced a release date?!?
@@johnc1873 and I didn’t actually pay full price
You catched the depreciation value.
@@johnc1873theyre $200 off lol its a great deal stop convincing yourself you need the latest and greatest
I bought my mini 6 just waiting for my paper lite screen protector. thanks for all your tips and advice.thanks 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇨🇦
Glad I could help!
i think you convinced me with this one, mark. subscribed!
I’ve think you’re spot on describing what are you waiting for bloke who is me. Checking out refurbished sites as mini 6 remains too pricey
As a daily work-note user of an iPad mini 6 (using Goodnotes - awesome app!) I absolutely love the mini 6. I squeeze a huge office dry erase board PDF template into the mini and pinch and zoom in and out of my notes as needed. Then at the end of the shift I save out the pdf into iCloud, where it will live for a few weeks in case I need to reference it, and I then blank out the pdf master - now ready for next shift. Mark, thanks for the link to the alternate pencil, too. I might look into that! EDIT: And a public service announcement if one is using Papperlike.... Clean the screen off ever so often! Especially if the 'grab' of the paper-ness is faded. It just needs a screen clean.
Just replaced my iPad Pro for an iPad mini 6 and love it. Small, portable and when it is inside my backpack I can’t really notice it.
And paired with the MacBook it makes the perfect companion.
I have one of each. Ipad air 5 and a mini
Two is wonderful
Enjoyed the dramatic elements in this vid Mark, thanks :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love mine. I bought it on release month and it’s my daily driver.
How do you like having a Samsung and an apple product? Isn’t it a bit hard to sync things from phone to tablet, etc.? I am debating getting a Samsung tablet vs the mini 6 as I have a s22+ currently.
Do you recommend a keyboard and trackpad for the iPad mini?
I just bought a screen cover from Astropad that also came with two Apple Pencil tips the size of a regular #7 pen tip. It literally writes like pen and paper. I looked at the one featured here but still the thick imprecise pencil tip.
I’ve had the Mini 6 since it came out and it’s my go to device at home. Now with the Astropad I’m also taking it to work and actually using the Notes app like I had intended when I bought it.
I bought one two weeks ago. I must admit it only took a week of use for me to wonder why I’d waited so long, and how I’d managed to lug my iPad Pro around for two years!
Definitely waiting for the iPad mini 7 to see if they will move the screen controller back to the top in portrait orientation. Jelly scrolling is too much for me in the iPad mini 6 in portrait.
I have been using the iPad Air for a few years now, and I absolutely love it. It's a good device to just carry around and use. I am not sure if I could ever get any smaller when it comes to a tablet, but I do have a couple friends that use the iPad mini. I also have been using the iPhone SE (2020) since it came out, and I love it. These devices just do what I need, and I am rarely on my phone anymore. Literally just for checking emails on the fly, but other than that, messaging and phone calls.
6:37 this is a good point and it's also the idea that's circling in my head whenever I think about getting an iPad. The most portable one always wins because it's more capable of going with you
I have the ipad mini for 2 years now, and it completely changed the way I take note. I used to have many notebooks with me in order to organize life - work. Now, it's just this tiny device.
Just picked up a new 64gb model from Amazon during the Memorial Day sale for $400, love it.
I gonna just get the mini 6 and depending what the 7 is like I may trade the 6 in for it or not bother if there not major changes for the price etc
Thank you for this video. I have been considering the iPad Pro 12.9 inch. The price is quite high and it is a big iPad but it makes much more sense to get an iPad mini which is more portable.
I’ve been saying that I’m waiting impatiently for the 7th Generation, but your video did make me look up how much I’d need to spend to get a 6th Gen now. (I’ve already found out the trade-in price for my 5th Gen.)
At the moment, I’m sticking with mine - that might have been different if I’d got an iPhone with USB-C, but I’m still using lightening.
Thanks, as always.
I bought mine last 2022, my first option was ipad air 5 but was never available at the time so I bought the ipad mini 6 instead. No regrets and I love it so much more. So light to bring, can take notes anytime and can play games with my feminine hands. I think I can keep this for 10 years and never give to anybody ever😅
I’m in no rush, will wait for the 7 as it will hopefully have better brightness and 120hz
Found one brand new on Amazon sale $350 and I’m very happy to have it with my 11 inch iPad for notetaking and consumption.
I have one and don't use it as much as I thought, but also pause every time I think I should just sell it.... and this video was an emotional tour de force.... 😁
I’m waiting on the mini 7. I just need them to fix the jelly scroll (by fix, I mean move it to the horizontal orientation as the screen tearing is there on all displays) and hopefully we’ll get a base storage increase to 128gb and better battery life.
I bought the mini 6 at launch and had to return it because the jelly scroll gave me motion sickness 😢.
Love the videos Mark :)
I regrettably just sold my Mini 6 and immediately had seller’s remorse. Got a refurbished 11” Pro as I wanted to be able to log in to my work cloud VM and have enough screen real estate to perform tasks. And for that got a refurb Magic Keyboard. Now it may work out just fine but right now I feel as though my whole use case will change. Time will tell but if and when a mini 7 comes out, I’ll more than likely go back.
amazing video.. thank you...
You made up my mind for me. YAY. iPad mini it is :) I'm purchasing it now. Thanks!
Mark, I really enjoyed the video. The video feels vivid. It's not that old same youtuber stuck on a chair and talking. Yours is more lively (sorry I'm not English and maybe you don't get the idea). Keep up the good work, you're doing great!. Btw, I'm buying this iPad Mini 6 and will be using my 2017 iPad Pro just for media consumption (battery is almost dead).
You read my mind with this video! Thanks :)
Glad I could help!
My only regret is that I didn’t pay for the bigger hard drive…other than that, I absolutely love the Mini 6. Most likely when a new iPad Mini comes out i’ll upgrade, but only because I want a bigger hard drive.
Thanks ❤ this is the best video I have seen toking about iPad mini 6
In December 2023, I purchased the iPad mini 6. My existing tablet, an 11-inch iPad Pro from 2018, proved to be too cumbersome for daily transport. Ideally, I would have preferred to hold out for the iPad mini 7, but patience isn't always my strong suit. Ultimately, I'm content with my decision and find myself in complete agreement with your observations.
My 10.5" iPad Pro from 2017 is still holding up pretty well to this day. It has the right size for me to watch Series and play games. The Mini is still a little bit to small to keep watching for a longer time periode.
So unless this thing breaks i can just sit back and wait for the new devices to come :)
I'm still using my ipad mini 5. Definetly, mini 6 will be my next ipad. Specially now that the new App, Delta is very well implemented in ios. I'm gonna be enjoying some good retro games.
I'm using the pixel fold... And that is like an iPad mini, but also a phone, that you can actually handle... Love your videos Mark, you put a lot of love into these projects and it really shows.
It’s flat? Really?
@@avkay12 okay... You got me there... It does flat out, but needs an extra push! Lol
Ugh.
All pretty good points. I'm still using an iPad Mini 2, although I also have an M2 iPad Pro 11". But I'd still like a Mini 7 with an A17 Pro chip (which is in the iPhone 15 Pro), with newly designed more rounded edges to make holding it more pleasant. An OLED display with no "jelly role" would also be a plus. 😊
I have both the Mini 6 and the S24Ultra both great devices! I love sketching and writing on my S24U more - it just feels better than the iPad Mini 6 with a paperfeel screen protector. I love painting on the Mini 6 only because of the iPAd only apps. Looking forward to a Mini 7 with proper File management app and screen tiling!
Am genuinely interested… what ‘other refurb’ sites do you, or other subscribers/followers, recommend?
I have the iPad mini 6 and I swear it is one of my favorite iPads, It gets the most use. It does everything I need. It’s super portable. I also own a 12.9 inch and an 11 inch both of those are pros, I really don’t need a role model but I love them anyway. The iPad mini 6 is just so easy to throw in a bag or throw in your purse and use it on the go. I just can’t say good things about this awesome iPad.
Apple raised the prices on these, Seeing a 256gb wifi only version for £749 on most sites you used to be able to buy the 256gb with cellular for that, Is it really worth paying all that money for am older device now?
I brought the Mini, couldn’t wait any longer. The video helped
I really liked the fact in this vid you recommended buying used or refurbished. Nice vid very creative and the editing was great. Now make one of the things you hope next gen ipadm gets, realistically vs fantasy. Thanks!
I almost ordered an iPad mini 6 new from Amazon for $400, but then I saw a refurbished Pro 11 from 2018 for $300 😳 so I bought it, and I absolutely love it, but unfortunately, it just doesn’t travel like the mini ! So I’ll still probably buy one soon 😂👍
This video comes at exactly the right time for me. I‘m thinking about buying an iPad mini since the last days.
I‘m still struggling between the mini and the Air 5 due to longevity. Do you think the Air will get 1-2 years longer updates due to M1 chip? The bigger size wouldn’t bother me.
Thank you for this nice entertaining video!
Thanks for the lovely comment!
There are a lot of people waiting for the iPad mini 7 myself included I want to get my wife one or maybe a mini 6 at a discounted price when the new ones come out. She’s not in a hurry she has her mini 4 so we wait.
Is 64gb enough?? I feel like no but since I have a MBP & iPad Pro…I am fine with 64GB. Found one for $300 with cellular
Reason #5 was me all over, all day long… you made me smile. Now I’m going to buy it… I think…
Best Buy has the mini 6 on sale right now brand new for $399 usd. I’m so tempted.
Got my mini a few weeks back no regrets and less bulkier vs IPad Pro for daily commute
I actually just got one last week. This is another great product that becomes mostly unnoticed from being named in the vein of something small or basic like "SE" or "mini". Apple needs to find a way to market the SE devices having an older body with a newer chip and mini devices as nearly as good as the pro, just in a small package.
I was lucky to get my iPad Mini 6 Cellular for 50% off brand new on Amazon back in July. I think it was a price glitch as the price only appeared for a few minutes and then shot back up after I purchased it.
Amazon is definitely worth looking at as you can occasionally see steep discounts. I kept it in the basket and kept looking daily to see if the price dropped.
The iPad Mini 7 is supposed to only be a minor upgrade, with mainly only the chip getting an upgrade but it'll look identical and will have the same LCD screen. So I don't see why it's worth waiting for. I love the iPad mini 6 and won't upgrade until they eventually bring OLED to the iPad mini which is rumored to be in 2026. The iPad is the only thing in my house that is still had LCD screens and that's the only irritating thing about it
Not only can one get good prices at Amazon, but if you buy it refurbished, you can always return it within 90 days! 👍
The iPad Mini, at least for me, is the most iPad of iPads. It does what Steve Jobs said was its purpose as a middle device whereas the bigger ones can be pushed into service as a laptop replacement. I love it. BUT the bugs annoy me, specifically the keyboard one which I’ve had since day one. I’m not sure it is just the mini or every iPad, but if you split the keyboard it tends to migrate up the screen. I have to split in portrait mode and go to landscape mode to get it to stick to the bottom and that doesn’t work every time, or even most of the time. But it’s a mere annoyance rather than a deal breaker.
This is an excellent video. However, for the same reasons that, I picked-up a basic iPad 9th generation and passed on the more modern looking 10th generation version. Here, I would also select the much older iPad mini 5th generation with 256GB and the cell data option and even more so If, I was just getting it manly to be a note taking device (smile...smile).
Wowwwwwwwwwww you narrowed me down so good… love the vids keep it going man
Awesome! Thank you!
When I got an iPad, I bought the IPad 9th Gen for notetaking back when it was new and honestly, I do not regret that decision at all. But I will also admit, I didn’t know much about the iPad mini when I first got my 9th gen. Sometimes I wonder if I would have gone for it had I known about it. Maybe. The only thing I think I’d have been skeptical about is if it would have worked as a notetaking tool for me… because my hands are rather large and I have heard some complaints since I got my 9th gen about the Mini being a more cramped experience by nature of it being a smaller screen… mostly by people with bigger hands. That being said… I won’t pretend like I haven’t been curious about the iPad mini… but since I already take my 9th gen everywhere easily enough and enjoy taking notes on the 9th gen… would it even be worth it to even buy a secondary iPad to do the same sort of thing? Idk. But I think if someone hasn’t already gotten an iPad, the mini is a great way to go unless you are specifically looking for a budget option with a bigger screen… than the 9th gen has more value than the 10 gen, despite having an older chip set I’d think.
IMO, Apple made a mistake discontinuing the iphone mini. I LOVE mine and have no intention of upgrading any time soon. My first ipad will be the mini, so I appreciate you insights and recommendation.
I bought a 256GB iPad mini 5 for 1/3rd the price of an iPad mini 6. I didn’t want that jelly scroll screen. Fingers crossed for an improved iPad mini 7.
Oh Really? so what do you suggest 64gb or 256gb? I wanna switch my iPad Pro 11" to iPad Mini 6...I don't use it as much since I got the MacBook Pro M3.
I am gonna wait until the WWDC 2024 to see and if there's truly no iPad mini 6, then I am switching. 😃
The new IPad Air 11 or the IPad mini?
I love my 6th gen mini. It’s more than 2 years old but it’s my favorite iPad. Waiting for the folding iPad otherwise you can pry this from my cold dead hands.
I sold my Kindle device and iPad9, and my iPad mini is just amazing as my one device for my reading and also streaming! I don’t need my larger iPad and Kindle anymore!
The mini is so good to read on.
@@julilla1 Yes, indeed. Most especially if you have the paperlike screen protector. It feels like you’re reading on a paper. Moreover, this iPad is not heavy.
I love my iPad mini 6 the best iPad I have owned. Even if a new iPad mini is released later this year I won’t be upgrading.
I find any iPad bad for note taking because you can’t rest your hand on the screen without triggering something. Also it doesn’t feel like writing…
Ordered one today after months waiting for Mini 7.
Love the mini..but would love to have Face ID instead of the finger print reader, want 128gb base storage, oh and 120hz screen please.
It’s funny I apparently do things backwards a I bought the iPad mini then minutes later came here for a review lol. I love the size and if I could get an iPhone this size I’d love it
Gave my Mini 6 to a pal who can use it more. I have an Air 4 256g w/cellular that works just fine. I bought the mini as I thought I'd use it more than my Air 4. Nope. He can put it to use so off it went! It's a cute little device though.
Give me an iPad mini with the same display tech as the iPad pro and I'd be there instantly.
I’m looking at the iPad mini 6 again.ive bought and return at least 3-4 times. I still wanna buy the mini 6 because i do love the portability. My goal is to find it thee absolutely the cheapest price. I still would love a mini with a 120hz screen and it would be perfect
I’m still waiting for the 7. I had a 6 and sold it before I found a good use for it. I’m now kicking myself
Watching on my iPad Mini 😊So happy 😁
Nice!!
I use my iPad 6 every day for gaming and watching shows. If I lost it, I would not get another iPad 6. My main reason is that the storage is so small in the default model that I can't update it without uninstalling the only game I have installed (Genshin Impact). Not having an Mx chip, it also won't be able to be used in some of the iPad OS features.
I'm looking forward to the next version of the Mini more than I am looking forward to replacing my iPhone Mini.
Good video, but already own one. As you say, a Magic Keyboard would be great, but if needed I have a Microsoft universal folding one that is OK and pair that with an old magic Mouse. I have a Logitech pen that was about £50, far cheaper than the Apple Pencil. I tried Paperlike and didn't get on with it, but love the concept.
Funny enough, this is my favorite iPad outside of the Pro. I recently just sold my M2 iPad Pro for a M1 Pro MacBook Pro after the M4 reveal.
I miss having an iPad and always saw the Mini as the perfect iPad to have regardless of use case scenarios. So yes, I can't stop thinking about this iPad mini because I want one! 😂
I would get a refurbished or used 11in iPad Pro from 2018-2021 since prices are cut nearly half of their retail price
I was about to get the mini 6 last March. But Samsung price cuts and discounts were too tempting and I ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ instead. I was surprised that I could do things more in it than in my iPads.
Can’t live without mine I love it 🔥
TCL NXT Paper Tablet?
have ipad 2019 and its still amazing user experience i dont dont understand why apple cut it off
Only Bluetooth 5.0 is supported which does not include support for BLE audio. WiFi 6 and not WiFi 6e is supported. There is also a jelly scrolling effect which supposedly be addressed in the next version.
I've got standard ipad,latest ipad pro 12'9,an old macbook pro and the iphone 15 plus and yes I've been wonderlusting about the mini,well I found the mini 5 which is still supported seemingly in good condition for £130.If I dont like it I'll ebay it.But I'd rather have a feel for it in my hangs than blowing full price when the next one comes out.I love iPad,I think its the best invention since sliced bread-as they say-but they are so expensive and come with so little compared to the extras Samsung give freely-got the watch with me S24 ultra-no chance of that with Apple.
Waiting for Mini 7
Maybe get the 6 now and trade in later for the 7 if and when?
Wow, here in the US it is $500 for the 64 and 650 for the 256, goes up another, 150 to $800 for the cellular/GPS version. And it does go on sale. I waited and final bought my in September because I gave up on waiting for the new one to come out. I got mine for $629 w/256gb and w/cell/GPS, not a refurb.
I got mine 3 weeks ago on bay for 179£ and it’s immaculate shop around they sell for cheap
Love my Mini 6 but as phones are getting bigger nowadays is there point of the iPad mini anymore? An iPad Mini pro could be appealing though.
There is quite a difference in size between an iPad mini and a Max/Plus iPhone due to the aspect ratio so you can’t really compare the two.
My mini is still twice the size of my new phone, despite of 'only' 2.2 inches diameter difference
I mean, almost everyone I know with one (myself included) loves it!
