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.
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.
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 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 😊
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. ☺
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. :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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$30 more so I got the 7 instead. I had the 5 so I think I made the right choice.
@@The_MEMEphis WRONG its was the 7..... 399 since I bought one. " your guarantee" is bullshite and people like you is good be ignored in any common sense....
I think Apple has just gotten lazy or lacks creativity anymore. Resting on their laurels with no exciting new products or designs across their line-up. Maybe an iPad mini starting at 249$ 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.
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. 🤷🏻
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.
the chip def isn't overkill... imo, the ipad mini can always use the CPU upgrades... ik ppl like this don't game.. but ipad minis are very very popular for gaming. more power in cpu/gpu perf is always good/welcome... but ya... for ppl who use their ipad for youtube and email.. ya it's overkill [you can do that with a $60 amazon fire tablet]... but that isn't everyone. oh and i'm not talking about tetris as "gaming" lol would have absolutely loved to see an M3-M4 chip in the mini
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.
Great video. It'll be interesting to see how apple guardrails "Apple Intelligence" given their research into how bad LLMs are at any form of logic and reasoning, and thus their complete inability to know when it's hallucinating.
I have an issue with all the writing crutches. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think people should learn how to write and communicate well and that will 10x to their personand professional growth.
How anybody can buy this outdated piece of junk is beyond me! The display is atrocious, still has jelly scroll and don't get me started on the ultra thick bezels!
Awesome intro and outro, great info and some humor. Bravo for a great video Jason.
I appreciate it!
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.

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
That was great combination of fun and informative content. Kudos, Jason.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The intro is why so many of us can relate to JTL.
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
I upgraded from the mini 4 to the 7. No regrets, as it saves me upgrading my I phone 13 to get Apple Intelligence.
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.

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.

First time I tried anything like this. It was fun!
@@thejasontlewis I have even subscribed because of it. 😁 Please keep doing it ❤

Cool videos Jason ! Great sense of humor... The intro was 🔥😅
Thanks 👍
Intro killed me 😂
Thanks.
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.
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.
Jason, I have to say, I truly enjoyed your intro 😂.

I really don’t notice the jelly scroll unless I’m specifically looking for it
Great video Jason, avid mini 6 user and I don’t see a reason yet to upgrade to the 7. Thanks
I subscribed based on your intro alone :)
Look forward to seeing your review on that e-ink device.
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.
For $500, I can buy a refurbished iPad PRO 11 with the M-1 chip! I’d rather buy that! 😂👍
yeah.
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.
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.
Such a useful enjoyable review .. thanks so much
Thank you ! I'm glad it was fun.
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.
Love your videos Jason! I still remember you, I sold you the iMac Pro from the Apple Store.
The purple iPad Mini 7 is (or was) $400 in Amazon, FYI. 😀
Ha! I love that computer. I should have kept it for longer than I did. It sure took some doing to scrape together enough gift cards. Good to see ya!
I wish it had 120 hz
New colors and landscape camera and thinner bezels
Yep.
Here to request a video about your thoughts on general AI and the current state of this buzzword. Nice and (painfully) honest review! :)

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
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 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.

Enjoyed your video, great job.
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
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. 🤷🏻
Great video! Thanks 🙏🏼
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.
the chip def isn't overkill... imo, the ipad mini can always use the CPU upgrades... ik ppl like this don't game.. but ipad minis are very very popular for gaming. more power in cpu/gpu perf is always good/welcome... but ya... for ppl who use their ipad for youtube and email.. ya it's overkill [you can do that with a $60 amazon fire tablet]... but that isn't everyone.
oh and i'm not talking about tetris as "gaming" lol
would have absolutely loved to see an M3-M4 chip in the mini
They could have increase the battery and the knit brightness as well by 100 more but they didn’t. Classic Apple move.
Apple does deliver off there website. You can buy things without going to an Apple Store 😂
Hah, I have the same mug but it just says Yoda Best, no mom. So my mom can't use it.
Nice.
That was actually a painfully honest review. 😂
Thanks. I try.
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….

We’re all Jason when it comes to money 😂
God, I hope not. I'm terrible!
Yeah, one of the very few drawbacks to IA. Road tripping to Des Moines for tech 🤪
Man, it kills me. I lived in NYC for a long time and could get anything I wanted anything. But I was usually broke. The irony.
Great video. It'll be interesting to see how apple guardrails "Apple Intelligence" given their research into how bad LLMs are at any form of logic and reasoning, and thus their complete inability to know when it's hallucinating.
I have an issue with all the writing crutches. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think people should learn how to write and communicate well and that will 10x to their personand professional growth.
Instead of getting an iPad Mini 7, just get the iPad Air M2 11”. M2 processor >>A17 processor.
Not sure why people comment on a product they know isn’t meant for them lol.
hell u can get mac mini4 for 599...Ipad mini is worth 250-300🤦🏻♀️
Hahaha 😂the best in the GAME ❤
Thank you, sir.
❤❤❤❤
Waste of money.
it's cute but useless
How anybody can buy this outdated piece of junk is beyond me! The display is atrocious, still has jelly scroll and don't get me started on the ultra thick bezels!
I got it on sale for $399.
