Is The iPad Mini 7 Worth $500? A Painfully Honest Review.

- The iPad Mini has a loyal following. Almost cult-like, really. But Is it worth what Apple's asking when so many other options exist? I spent 2 weeks with the iPad Mini 7 and here's what I found.

That intro was a cinematic masterpiece. So refreshing to see such thing in this day and age. This video was so much better than other big tech youtubers. Keep it up man
Thanks. It was fun to make. I'm going to keep doing this kind of stuff as often as I can.
The only iPad that is a true tablet.I love it,
Yeah. pratical one. Aslo IPhone 12/13 mini are the only true smartphone, other all are just phablets. I Wish samsung would make the s series base to be 5.7/5.8 inch.
Same! It’s my remote work horse.
@@niyazzmoithu20Could not agree more. I still stick to my iPhone 12 mini. Everything else just feels too big.
@@niyazzmoithu20 i jumped from iphone 6s to 13 mini for personal use. tempted to switch to 16pro . after reading your comment, i might just stick with 13mini and get myself an ipad mini 7 instead . lol
for work , i just got the S24 . that's the only small phone in Samsung ecosystem . sufficient and practical enough .
@@niyazzmoithu20 My dream to bring those mini back. I want my ipad mini and iphone mini.
Awesome intro and outro, great info and some humor. Bravo for a great video Jason.
I appreciate it!
The ipad mini is my main device as a home health nurse. I can review careplans, complete all patients forms etc. So far im really happy with it
You looking for a husband
@ I’m a dude
@@esfuda well shet if you making good money my guy im still in
@@Smoovs1956 ahhahahahahahahahahaahhahah
@@Smoovs1956 Savage. And I loved it. Haha!
I traded my iPad Mini 6 to Apple for the iPad mini 7 it is the only iPad I own, it is my only computer other than my iPhone and Apple Watch. I traded up to the 256gb plus cellular, the mini 7 only cost me $200. I use luma fusion for editing videos, I also use Ferrite, Affinity photo, when needed I connect it to a monitor ( I do wish I could extended the display vs mirror), I can connect to other computers using RDP when needed. All in all I like the portability, and it saved me a lot of money vs purchasing an M4 iPad Pro or a Mac book etc.
I’m thinking about doing that too. I use my Mini 6 for Lumafusiom also. Have you rendered anything on the 7 yet? Is it much faster?
the display could be extended via HDMI EDID emulator dongle, there's the video about it: shorts/ng2ikuGiZT4
Are you in the US? Here Apple is offering only $210 for the iPad mini 6 as trade in. How did you get the 256 + cellular for only $200?
What do u use ur mini 7 for? And what iPhone r u using ?
@@brucelin5842 mostly for watching pornhub. I use a galaxy flip 5 phone.
I like to keep my tools small just like my own tool ;)
what i need is an ipad pro mini
- no buy unless 120hz
- no buy unless can plug in an external monitor without mirroring
i'm literally still using samsung dex from 2019 lol.
Exactly, this ipad is great but lacks so many basic features
Problem is that small Android tablets usually also lack pro features ... like lame displays and zero support for more advanced styluses ...
And most of them have very limited support for OS upgrades.
Sure sometimes they are 10x cheaper :D, but still not very useful. I got one and BT is constantly disconnecting ... so now I'm eyeing iPad Mini :(.
120hz and/or OLED screen improvement is all I ask for and I'll buy the iPad Mini 8th gen.
Luckily I get an iPad MIni 6th gen for free through my employer due to my job requiring an internet connected device to acquire leads/sales in various markets. I've just been using the work device for uh... not work purposes such as reading Marvel Comics or playing some light games, content consumption like TH-cam.
I upgraded from the mini 4 to the 7. No regrets, as it saves me upgrading my I phone 13 to get Apple Intelligence.
I upgraded from a Mini 4 too.
@ How are you enjoying it?
@michaelwoolcock5600 I like it. It transferred all my stuff from the mini 4 but I would like it to be different... don't know how to do that though
Oled gives me headaches, so I bought the iPad mini 7. I think the display is awesome, I really appreciate the lcd display.
You might have cancer
So what phone are you using since all phones have OLED in it? Unless you really have an old phone
@@rycmrc I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max that usually just sits in a drawer, unless I’m traveling and taking photos. I primarily use my iPhone SE 3.
I’d be willing to pay Apple a couple hundred bucks to replace an iPhone 16 Pro Max’s screen to an LCD screen if I could. As much as Apple says they care about health, they should have an option like that for people who get headaches from PWM.
This is the first time i hear this
@@MrWebon th-cam.com/video/99w3Wmp1agI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kWGkHpLuGpECwDIY
Sold my M4 because of LOW PWM ,it causes fatigue and eye strain which no reviewer talks about ended getting an ipad mini 7 cellular and men its so PERFECT
But I thought Oled is a better screen?
@@brucelin5842 OLED screen quality is definitely higher. Blacker blacks, better colors, but in some rare instances people do report head aches due to the screen technology, though I've never personally experienced this. I worked at Best Buy and we had quite a few returns from folks over this particular 'issue'.
@@brucelin5842some people get eye strain with oled…I’m one of them 😅
That was great combination of fun and informative content. Kudos, Jason.
Glad you enjoyed it!
When I am at the desk to get work done, I prefer a proper computer. The iPad mini is the right size for lying on the sofa while doing some research, taking notes or consuming content. Also, it fits snugly into the pocket of my favorite jacket. The iPad air always felt somewhat clumsy to me and the iPad pro does not seem to offer anything compared to a MacBook pro.
The iPad range is such a contrasting field of potential tools... for peoples differing needs and requirements.
Those that call themselves artists for instance, can inform you to only use the larger,
more powerful and better screened - iPad Pros... if you exclusively want to use bitmap painting tools.
Yet some creatives ( designers, vector illustrators, etc. ) use a desktop as their daily driver,
but enjoy sketching roughs and ideas down on an iPad mini.
So two different sets of 'creatives' will offer you completely opposite conclusions. As to which iPad to buy.
This probably mirrors itself... within other fields and real world uses too.
There's a range of sizes and 'power' for a reason. There is no standard iPad user.
People that buy it love it for the portability and its uses. I’m buying one because I don’t want to take my 12.9 traveling with me on the road. The larger one stays at home so I don’t drop it and break the screen.
Upgraded from the 2019 5th Gen and, including the Apple trade-in, actually paid slightly less than that cost me in 2020. This is the form factor that works for me, and it really complements my iPhone 13 Mini. Just wish it came in the same Product Red colour.
Thanks for the content.
Nice combo
My opinion- the iPad mini does what its supposed to do and that is be a supplement to what you already have. I have multiple iPads -versions/sizes. I’m an average schmo so when I’m on the go I just need my mini to fill the gap of my multimedia consumption addiction. It’s only fair that I disclose that I am an apple fanboy and sometimes I upgrade just to have the latest.
@@richard4079 My brother is all Apple and has the pro, the air and a mini 4 he uses as a sat nav. I didn’t want to upgrade my I phone 13 and decided it was time to upgrade my mini 4. Made better value sense to get the 256 gig version with Apple intelligence.
Very well done! I like how you share your honest thoughts and don’t gloss over shortcomings like most fanboys. And I am a fanboy. I’m typing this on an 11” M4 iPad Pro, and I have a 13” M4 iPad Pro, and MacBook Pro 14” M3. Was thinking about the iPad Mini 7, just to have a smaller device for reading, surfing the web, and watching TH-cam. Like you, I just don’t see it being worth the money, especially with all the shortcomings. I have big hands, so I really don’t see that much difference in size between the mini and my 11” pro. And with a smaller screen, you sacrifice screen real estate my older eyes need. Thanks for the awesome video!
For right now the mini 6 64 gb is super cheap but I was going to get the 256 gb but the mini 7 128 gb is only$30 more so I got the 7 instead. I had the 5 so I think I made the right choice.
The intro is why so many of us can relate to JTL.
I’ve got iPad Pro, iPad and iPad mini. Use the mini more than anything else
I have Mini 6, 11” 2018, and 13” 21 or 22. If I could only have one of these, it would be the Mini. Anyone who reads will understand the joy of this lightweight format.
We’re all Jason when it comes to money 😂
God, I hope not. I'm terrible!
I traded in my IPhone 14 Pro Max at RM2700 for IPad Mini 6 at RM2200 and Pencil Pro at RM549. I only had to fork out RM49 extra ie. at USD12. Worth the trade 😊
What will you use to call people? The iPad?
I shout using loudspeakers. Hope ure satisfied
Holy guacamole i have never felt more called out during an intro
Intro killed me 😂
Thanks.
This was the review I was looking for thank you.
Love the format of this one Jason. I am an iPad mini fan but for what I use it for I will stick with my Mini 6. Look at it this way, It's a great time to pick up the mini 6 and save money. :)
would you really recommend that? i'm worried about the chips! also the 7 starts at double the storage
@@sultanalamri534it depends on what you want from the device.
Love the background music and the opening. I have the iPad mini 6 and will let it ride. I need to upgrade my MacBook first
I think the 6 is still a great device. No need for this one unless you have a burning need for Apple Intelligence.
I bought an M1 iPad Pro 12.9" with a white Magic Keyboard used locally for $600 last week. Three years ago it cost 1800+ retail. I can't imagine buying an iPad Mini for $500. I can imagine buying a folding iPhone that's the size of an iPad Mini unfolded for $1800 though...
4:13 No. No it’s not 😂 love the intro! Digging the background music. Great video sir 🤘
Thanks for the video. I appreciate your thoughts. Will it also work with the prior gen Apple Pencil?
I loved this video. It's Very Noir Esque. I actually found it informative and fun. Great work!
I've used the iPad Air 4th gen for ages and it's still a beast. Now that I bought a MacBook Air M3 I find the 11' size a bit cumbersome. The iPad mini seems a reasonable upgrade since I'll only use it for reading/signing documents
So great lord the intro. I old my M1 Pro for the mini and have some regrets as well, but I'm sure I'll get one again someday and repeat the process down the road.
Awesome video, I’ve really enjoyed it! Useful as well, I’ve been on the fence abt buying the mini 7… at any rate, u have a new subscriber, loved your video n energy 😃
Cool videos Jason ! Great sense of humor... The intro was 🔥😅
Thanks 👍
It was on sale on Black Friday for $399 at Costco. It’s still more expensive than the iPad 10.2 which is consistently $299 or less. Right now, that 10.2 iPad is about $250. If I were you, I would have kept my other iPad as well. You can’t expect a smaller device like this to be your main device. That’s not practical, but I love the portability. Most people use larger iPads for productivity, but as you mentioned, they’re too big to lug around. My biggest issue is that it shouldn’t cost more than the iPad 10.2, which is a happy medium for most folks because of the price and portability.
I think if I were to get something else it would be the 11” pro so I’d have that oled screen.
Such a useful enjoyable review .. thanks so much
Thank you ! I'm glad it was fun.
I travel a lot, shorter one to three days trips, and when I do, I don't pack my Asus G15, which weighs over three kilos, with the power brick. This is why I need an iPad mini
Costco had them for 399 and Best Buy Price matches Costco. Amazon had the purple one specifically for 399 as well.
I guarantee they were selling the 6 not 7 apple products don’t get discounted that fast
@@The_MEMEphis WRONG its was the 7..... 399 since I bought one. " your guarantee" is bullshite and people like you is good be ignored in any common sense....
@stn5562 why are you lying I literally just looked it up on Costcos website
@@The_MEMEphis it was the 7.
I wish we have Costco here in Poland. Every apple product has a fixed price everywhere. I end up buying apple products usually from German amazon ....
We need an iPad Air Mini; same specs in smaller form factor.
12:50 Yeah, they absolutely ain't interested in it despite the huge following. Meanwhile, the iPhone mini was a failed experiment due to being "too little, too late"; by the time it came around, folks have been spoiled hard by the massive screens...goin' back to smaller was simply & absolutely NOT an option for those hardcore folks.
Great video! Thanks 🙏🏼
I really don’t notice the jelly scroll unless I’m specifically looking for it
The best part is its very handy, cosy, and has convenience
I love your sense of humor! That intro gave me a good laugh 😂
The price is interesting, because for what you're getting, compared to a new iPhone it's a great deal in some sense. But when you compare it to the iPad air, as you mentioned, not a great value.
Yeah, the iPad Air is a better value if you’re looking for the same features. The Mini is great for portability and fun.
I thought I would watch a normal Ipad mini review, didn't know I would bump into some Adam Elliot's aesthetics ❤ loved it. Probably the Ipad mini will be my only Apple device ever. ☺
First time I tried anything like this. It was fun!
@@thejasontlewis I have even subscribed because of it. 😁 Please keep doing it ❤
Had the conversation with my wife over dinner, then I saw your opening. You aren’t doing me any favors bro. Guess I’m keeping my iPad Pro M4 11
I'm trying to help others through my stupidity.
Thanks for your excellent video. I like the cut of your gib!
I’ve had bigger IPads from the beginning and currently use a 2020 IPad 12.9 inch. I love that machine. My wife gave me an old Mini 4 after she upgraded. I have to say that I am loving it for the portability and might get a Mini 7. The only thing I don’t like is that it only has 32GB of memory, which is nearly impossible to deal with.
My advice…lean to getting more than you think you will need.
“I didn’t think to do that” even though it prompts you to register more than 1 finger in both orientations during set-up… mmmmkay
Jason, I have to say, I truly enjoyed your intro 😂. Although I am retired and lazy, I do a lot of reading and sometimes consume a lot of streaming, but not having the stomach u r proud of, my elbows on the bed serve me well as a viewing platform. Having started with the IPad 1, then the 5, I do like the speed of the 7, size, portability and the memory. So I am content.
Maybe you should do some improv, which seems like your niche .. thank you 👍🏼
Thanks!. I definitely need to get rid of some of this belly. It started durning the pandemic and continued to grow. I'm going to do more videos like this. It was fun.
Look forward to seeing your review on that e-ink device.
Is It mad to change my iPad Pro m2 for this one due to portability ? Or m2 is way better
I think Apple has just gotten lazy or lacks creativity anymore. Resting on their laurels with no exciting new products or designs across their line-up. Maybe an iPad mini starting at 249$ that is just used for simple games, content viewing, and reading in a pinch (I, too love my kindle for reading) would be better.
I think $250 oe $300 would be much more attractive, but then that steps on the base model iPad. And they can do just enough to market the Mini as a more "premium" device.
Enjoyed your video, great job.
The intro itself made me laugh out loud. Great work!
Thanks. It was fun to make.
So will you take the ipad mini back?
Not a bad value because I payed 1400 Euros for the iPad Pro M4. Only because I need the flash with a slightly bigger screen 😂
I bought the Mini 7 thinking I had more time to return it. I missed the return date(14 day) by 3 days so I won’t b returning it and I don’t like it. I got the maxed out WiFi+cellular 512GB. $1092 with an apple case and sales tax. The display sucks. Seems slow after using my M4 iPad Pro. I only wanted it as a travel iPad so I’ll make the best of it.
Ugh, I'm sorry to hear that, that's an absurdly small return window.
Dagnabbit! I just hate when that happens…goddamn return windows.
Don’t fret over it. It’s still a good travel iPad because of its size. Maybe over specked a bit since it’s not trying to do anything compared to an iPad Pro. I myself almost bought it but the wife convinced me that it just too small for photo editing, so ended up getting the iPad 10th generation. If it really bugs you to use it, trade it in, sure you’ll take a loss but that’s life. Then you can get the iPad you should have picked up, or keep it until Apple comes out with a true IPad Pro in this small size.
Why is everyone crying over this??….🥴🥴🥴
You should’ve waited until last week because mine is eligible for the holiday return until January 8th. I purchased mine 3 days ago but I haven’t opened it yet because I am waiting for the screen protector to arrive.
Iowa? I grew up in Bussey, IA in the mid 80s. Good memories! I really enjoyed this vid and the info. Thanks! Oh, and I rock 3 iPads. My 13 M4 Pro is my main computer, and I love it. I have the 9th gen and mini 5 that I use for different purposes.
Great video Jason, avid mini 6 user and I don’t see a reason yet to upgrade to the 7. Thanks
I was holding out for a good release of iPad mini, but Apple had other plans and barely did anything special to iPad mini 7. I’m glad I waited and got m4 11” iPad Pro. It’s perfect 👌
Yeah, if I had it to do over, that's what I would have done. The iPad Air is compelling as well.
@@thejasontlewisI have the 11” M1 air and am seriously thinking of selling it for the mini , I have no use for two devices and now I have retired , no emailing daily , no CRM or zoom meetings ,my use case is content consumption , reading and light home admin and a journal so I think the mini along with a bluetooth keyboard and screen which I have will be perfect . The Ipad mini I want with wifi and cellular 256gb pencil and case in NZ $1600 the pro you had with apple keyboard and pencil $3500 NZD it’s a lot of money in NZ .
It’s funny that you said that the A17 is overkill and the reason I didn’t get the mini is because I didn’t think the A17 was enough
What are you going to do that will require more?
@ gaming. I ended up getting an M2 iPad Air 11" instead
Great video. I know you got bored of tech reviews, but you make them interesting .
Yeah, gotta keep it fresh. This one was fun.
It needs MagSafe so you can easily move it from the bedroom to the kitchen
There are magnet cases or adhesives that you can use, but that kinda runins the aesthetic.
I’d probably buy an IPad Mini 7 or 6 if only to use it as a secondary device for my IPad Pro 11 inch 2022 unit. Am leaning towards the 6 since I won’t have to buy an extra pencil and can swap it with my other unit. Except for storage, faster chip and AI, there’s very little difference between the two IPad Mini models.
Apple does deliver off there website. You can buy things without going to an Apple Store 😂
iPad's are good for listening to podcasts while in the shower, and its a nice remote control for some desktop apps like Logic Pro. But I use to want the Biggest iPad pro then I picked up the base A14 iPad Pro and well its fine and costs like $299 so I'm happy!
It reminds me of the 12” MacBook. You’re paying more for the form factor I guess and I just got the iPad mini 7 my first mini and I have a 12.9” pro and I love my new iPad for the basic stuff I plan to use it for TH-cam and maybe PUBG mobile… I wasn’t a gamer either but u should try PUBG it’s super fun once you play a few rounds
Ipad mini 7 or the 10th gen 2022????
Nice intro! Many people wonder why would you get rid of the iPad Pro M4, but at the end of the day, it's your choice.
I ask myself why I got rid of the M4. The 13" was too big, but the 11" woulf have been perfect. It was an aborted attemp to go all-iPad all the time.
I wish it was only like 300. Also, I think I've mentioned this but I am pretty sure we live in the same area.
Not sure why people comment on a product they know isn’t meant for them lol.
The price hold me off as well. The mini 6 is $350 and can sometimes be found open box even cheaper. But then its so close in price to the mini 7 that I would rather bump up but then its too expensive again lol.
You might as well go for the 6. the only real difference is the storage.
Hey, saw you reading absolute Batman, how do you like it? For me personally, I love it😂.
I've only read that first issue. I thought it was pretty cool. Looking forward to checking out the rest.
@thejasontlewis second issue is out now, i gotta go check it out too
If I don't have iPad mini at all, which one is better for money ? I am getting second hand mini 6 in half the price of new mini 7. Condition is perfect, no signs of use whatsoever.
My use is reading, some writing and mild media consumption and as a companion to iPhone SE 22.
Anyone who has both Samsung Tab with pen and iPad with pen. Because writing experience on Samsung tab is top notch, and people say writing experience with iPad and apple pen is not up to the mark.
I hope you are getting at least the 128 gb. Consider the Mini 7 has a processor that is 3 versions newer, double the RAM, double the standard storage, faster USB-C data transfer rates, so then, is the Mini 6 a better value? Not if you have to replace it in two years. It's already 3 years old so how long will you get updates for? The mini 7 is MUCH more robust and will last at least twice as long. So if you consider those things, the Mini 7 is a better value. Hope this helps.
I want to get an iPad mini 1. e-reader (i thought to get a kindle) 2. use during lunch break instead of using my phone (because i want something just a little larger) 3. may be a nice size to take notes with pencil 4. extra space for pics
The Mini is a great size for all that.
That was actually a painfully honest review. 😂
Thanks. I try.
I bought the Mini 7 after waiting a lot because of the hype with Mini 6 ...and everything is sooo small! You can put the fonts and icons bigger but the OS is not well made or fit properly and for some apps to take notes is not enough screen unless you take kind of post it size notes...or the webpages are the mobile version, so it is like reading on your phone or a little bigger. The screen is laggy even with the new chip. I don't know, but I feel I little bit disappoint after every TH-camr talking about the benefits of this size. Perfect for reading a book (maybe a kindle could be better and cheaper) and watching TH-cam in bed but not much more...
Your stomach line made me laughed
10:50 it's not an e reader if brightness is not enough to read outside in bright sunlight
Umm...OK.
Here to request a video about your thoughts on general AI and the current state of this buzzword. Nice and (painfully) honest review! :)
I’ve had the mini 6 and 7. Both too small when you have been using larger IPads. I found with both the 6 and 7 that the power button and volume buttons are poorly located. You’d expect the new 7 to have Face ID. Nope still has a finger print scanner. They may be great for travel. Step up and buy at least a 10 inch model.
Why did you change the channel name?
It was unique.
And I miss your intro.
Tech so honest that hurts, 😅
I kinda felt like PHT was built on negativity, or peoplle expected negativity from it. The growth was stalled and I needed to do something different. All good things come to an end. 🤷🏻
@thejasontlewis I don't know...negativity never come to my mind when I heard it...honesty whether you like it or not came to my mind...it was unique and the way you started your video by saying it with that enthusiasm... It Was really great.
Are you trading this in for your iPad 13inch back? 🤣
I subscribed based on your intro alone :)
I too have a problem with distractions and losing focus, and wanted to tell you
Le seul iPad qui est une vraie tablette. Je l'adore,
Totally agree with you. It is no different from the iPad mini 6 I used to own. I bought this new one and I returned it within a couple of days because I realized that Apple were robbing their customers. I cannot tell the difference of having extra RAM and a new processor in a tablet which has such an awful operating system. You literally cannot do anything with this iPad because not having the M1 chip means you do not get proper monitor support and the display is just too small and incredibly mediocre for the price that customers have to pay. It is simply just a huge phone without cellular if you bought the Wi-Fi version.The speakers are still not good enough as they do not get loud enough and I absolutely hate having to look at this screen after I have just put my Samsung S24 ultra down on the table. Moving from a 120 Hz AMOLED Samsung display to this 1980s LCD display is a horrendous experience. It is like trading Margot Robbie for Hillary Clinton. Sorry Apple but this is a massive corporate grift. As an experiment, I went out and bought the $99 Samsung A9 tablet and it can literally do everything the iPad mini 7 can do albeit with a vastly inferior processor. I don’t think we will see the iPad mini refreshed ever again. Garbage.
Lol.. I wanna hear him explain "painfully". I have yet to read a review "OMG this is the best thing since Apple pie!" yeah apple pie. No one.. just letting better chip.. why they didn't put the A18 in.. things like that. Seems SOME are making something out of nothing to get views
This channel used to be called Painfully Honest Tech. This is a thing I've done for about 10 years. And all you have to do is type iPad Mini 7 in TH-cam search to find a ton of "The iPad Mini 7 is the Best iPad Ever" videos. So...yeah.
Wrong question asked. I totally believe it's worth $500. But, I don't believe I'll ever get $500 of entertainment and productivity out of it. The screen may be perfection and yet I'll still cast the movie or video to my larger TV. Productivity and so I'm grabbing the cellphone or sitting down being productive with my M1 Mac instead. None of this is Apple's fault. My love of tablets faded as grabbing the phone is so darn easy.
yea I don't get how people can use an iPad as their only computer. iPads aren't really good for anything when you already have a phone and a MacBook can do way more. That shot of you trying to use the keyboard for this iPad just seems daunting when MacBooks exist... that's my .02 though I've purchased and sold so many iPads
Agreed.
returned mine, got money back.
Too many cry babies in here wanting this to be a full on editing tool….🥴🥴🥴🥴
Get a grip. It’s perfect for what MOST PEOPLE NEED IT FOR….
Save your pennies or ask mom for a raise in your allowance so you can get a iPad Pro if you desperately need it….
The point was that for $100 more you get an iPad Air with a much more powerful M2 chip, which offers a ton more power and can do jusut about anything. By your logic, the only reason to buy this is because it's small.
@@thejasontlewisit really depends on what you need. If it's your only device, then yes it needs more. But I already have a top of the line MacBook that does it all. The mini is for fun!
Hah, I have the same mug but it just says Yoda Best, no mom. So my mom can't use it.
Nice.
I wish it had 120 hz
New colors and landscape camera and thinner bezels
Yep.
Better better life and brighter/better screen is all
Makes me think that you can get a 65 inch tv for similar money.
Here in the Philippines the cost of the iPad mini 7 128gb is $603.82 😅
I was debating on upgrading from from a mini 6 to a 7; I do not think it’s worth the upgrade being for use as note taking and content consumption. Then adding the the extra cost of the new apple pen pro . I have the Apple iPad Pro m1 from 2020 and it is still a beast , with the Magic keyboard , stage manager and Apple AI.
which app did u use for reading comic?
