    3rd year medical student in the US, to this day the iPad mini provides the easiest pocket reference for trainees. Where looking up information on a phone will get looks, no physician will scold a student using an iPad for information reference. That being said, clinically, there's very use for an iPad mini for healthcare professionals as all of the documentation is on desktops located all throughout the hospitals.

    As an artist, my main content creation device is an iPad Pro, but when I really wanna travel light, I always grab my iPad mini. It’s the perfect size digital sketchbook when on the go. Do i wish the iPad mini 7 got an OLDD screen with thinner bezels & face ID? Sure. But it’s still a HUGE upgrade for my iPad mini 5. But even if I had the iPad mini 6, I’d probably still upgrade for the apple pencil pro support & faster chip. But I’m an artist, so that’s important to me. For others, it may not be worth the upgrade. The iPad mini 8 will probably get the better screen that everyone wanted this time. But that probably isn’t coming until 2027. In the meantime, the iPad mini 7 will suit me well.

    I bought iPad mini 7 with & Pencil Pro yesterday. I already have a MacBook Air M1 and iPhone 13 Pro which I replaced the battery last month at the Apple Store. I was debating getting a iPad Air it didn’t make sense for me , so went with IPad Mini 7.

    I was holding out for the updated iPad Pro but just couldn't get over the cost of the device and the accessories. Then when I took an honest look at how I wanted to incorporate a new iPad into my professional life the Mini actually started to make more sense. I needed something that I could use for note taking and file support while visiting clients on the road. I've been using a 10.5" iPad Pro since it launched for my needs but in conjunction with a padfolio/pen/paper so I hadn't gone totally digital.
    I visited my local Best Buy once the Mini 7 hit the streets and was all set on going that route. In the back of my mind though I kind of felt like Apple was just mailing it in with this upgrade. Once I started comparing the 11" Pro and the Mini there was just no way I could settle for the Mini. The new 11" Pro feels way more manageable than my old 10.5 Pro and the Pencil Pro is a gamechanger when taking notes and working with the new iPad OS. Plus, there was a sale going on that took almost $200 off the price of the Pro so it was a no brainer at that point.
    I'm now about a month in and the conversion to full usage has been awesome! The initial client visits felt strange since I no longer had my padfolio in hand but it felt way more comfortable when working with clients if that makes sense. I love the fact that I can jump right into a Note and then transfer it to the customers file to be reviewed or updated later. I've always been someone who prides themselves on keeping great notes and keeping client data on hand. Now I can keep all of that on one device and I don't have a stack of paper to recycle at the end of the week. I guess I didn't realize how much time and effort it took to convert the printed data into a digital format via e-mails & internal website data entry.

    It would be great to see a side by side comparison with the Mini 6 to see how much faster the Mini 7 is doing common tasks. I get the feeling it might not be a huge difference so it would be good to see it in action.

    it’s kinda frustrating that they didn’t even fit a 90hz screen into it, this screen size is literally perfect for mobile gaming & media consumption. 17pro is super capable to run games with 90fps. & to handle the power consumption, they could adjust the battery like +200mAh

      The Pro means here that it is intended for mainly artists.
      If it is used for occasional note taking, the USB-C version would be sufficient.
      I just feel Apple could have added the magnetic charge as note takers won't have any benefits from the pressure sensitivity, barrel roll or tool changer.

    An iPad MINI Pro would be a game changing device….

    was very disappointed in the mini update. no reason they couldn't have put an M chip in there, upgraded display... I love the 8"(ish) form factor. fits perfectly in one hand, works best for me for reading, yadda yadda
    it still has the same horrible file management issues that are just "the apple way", and I have found work arounds to them for the most part. I'm probably going to end up dropping all apple products in my life for android in the new year anyway.

    I have the Samsung Tab S9 and also the Mini 7, because of the form factor. I find iPad os limited compared to Samsung/Android. Surprisingly, the WiFi range on the Mini 7 is significantly worse than the Samsung tablet. But I bought it because there is no high quality small Android tablet.

      @@jasonlittle2666 it’s been a while since I’ve owned a Mini (Mini 4, in fact) but as someone who always gets the largest iPhone, even when I had that mini, I have to say that there is quite a difference between even the smallest iPad and the largest iPhone. The difference in total size might not sound like much, but the aspect ratio makes a significant difference. The iPad mini is wider while even a Max sized iPhone is still very narrow relative to its hight. Hence why you can do things like use the Mini is landscape mode and split screen multitask. Plus there Pencil support if that matters to you. At the end of the day, one is still a full fledged tablet while the other is still a phone.

    Fair review. Took mine back and will stick with my M1 11 in pro until the mini gets 120hz - jelly scrolling and motion blur too bad for my eyes. As you said a refurbished M1 11 will far outperform the new mini. The M4 iPad 11 is far better than the mini and a bit better than an M1 (my M1 is 16/2tB as a Costco exit model last year for £699……bargain.)
