I had both Ipad Pro 11" and Mini 6. After a few weeks , I realized 98% of the time I was only using my Mini and bringing it everywhere. Then I sold my Ipad Pro 11" and kept my Ipad Mini 6. Just worth it. I use it for media consumption , editing , writing and forex trading. Never going back to Ipad Pro . Pro is just bulker , heavier and less portable than the Mini. It was my best decision in 2022.
wich one do you recommend for travelling (not business traveling) to watch youtube, netflix , basic gamming , a picture here and there, google maps...?
@@khbkcbdck’ve got a Mini 5 but the size works perfectly in small sling bags and daypacks. It’s also less cumbersome to use in an airplane seat, especially for reading and watching movies. A standard iPad is just fine for travel but that slight edge of portability where it fits in any size bag really does go to the Mini.
If you can use the smaller display, the Mini is amazing. I feel as if it’s the best “iPad”. The rest try too hard to be computer replacements while the Mini acts as a perfect and portable tablet. I loved using mine for about a year. Switched to the 11” M2 iPad Pro since a larger display is much more comfortable for notes. Love the Pro, but the Mini definitely feels more like a tablet.
I had one. Hated the small text on apps and websites. The way the mini is setup from apple to use and show different websites and apps like an iPhone does is totally different. Hate that you need to manually zoom in to read anything. It’s definitely different than an iPhone. Do larger iPads do this too?
I have the iPad mini I use it as my e-reader and for journaling as well as for watching TV with my mom sometimes. It's amazing I know some people think it's too small for that but it's better to travel with and since I have a large laptop already the iPad mini is the perfect compliment to my 13in. Laptop. I highly recommend the iPad mini if you already have a large laptop or phone and want something that's portable.

Buy the iPad mini if you often use your iPad for reading ebooks while lying down on a couch or a bed or whatever. The smaller, lighter body of the iPad mini will be more forgiving for your frail arms.
I purchased an ipad 9 and unfortunately it was not as i expect and need: heavy and too big (and support only apple pencil 1). I gave it to my little sister and she really loved it. she loves to draw/design and its big screen is great for her work. I purchased mini 6 in the next months and love it so far! it is great to compliment my mac and iphone 11 for my use. work that need bigger screen (and mostly serious work like coding), i will use my mac. for notetaking, reading, will use my ipad mini. and for most communication, camera, more portable entertainment (like when commuting), can switch to my iphone. different people may have different perfect ipad based on their uses, so one should choose wisely
Just got the Mini and I can’t believe I allowed so much time to go by before finally getting one. This little thing is such an amazing piece of tech. Performance wise, I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Mini is just as responsive, literally no difference at all. Using my Mini for every thing I would normally use my iPhone for, from gaming (COD Mobile/Warzone) to content (TH-cam, Netflix ex…), making and answering phone calls (cellular version) and much more. I have always wanted a slightly bigger screen for all these things but did not want to walk around with a 10 inch tablet. Now of course I don’t use my Mini to replace my Mac, I bought that thing for a reason, but I did get the Mini for its portability and boy oh boy does this thing deliver. I don’t regret getting the Mini over the 11inch Pro I was browsing. Thanks Tech Gear Talk for providing such a detailed comparison between the Mini and other models. Oh, and using your (buy it nice or buy it twice) I went and got the 256gb Cellular. No regrets! 😊❤
Why not using the iPhone Pro Max? I have an iPhone 13 and I'm thinking about either getting an additional iPad mini or replacing the iPhone with a Plus/Max Model

I have an iPad Pro in the house and owned the 8th gen iPad. Replaced that with the iPad Mini 6 in 256GB. It’s a long term tablet for me and for the price I’ve already paid for it in use has covered the value many times over. I will probably stick with the iPad mini and it’s future replacements in the long run. Will keep the Mini 6 until it’s no longer viable.
Personally I love the iPad mini 6, it’s a great workhorse whilst traveling and out of office, and different time zones, and I’m happy that nowadays MS and Apple works together to find the best possible work environment, just saying the Microsoft Office 365 app for iPads works seamlessly with what I have on my laptop 👍👏
I have the iPad mini 6 since i traded it from the 11 inch iPad Pro, and haven’t looked back. I actually prefer the mini now. It’s perfect in terms of reading and writing, and I use it for streaming and gaming as well. I think it’s great for illustrator as well if they prefer a smaller display. If they ever do a IPad mini 7, I think they should adapt the internals of the Pro version into it to match it, but the Mini lineup is very underrated
The iPad 10 is $600 in 🇨🇦 vs. $450 for the iPad 9. A $150 price increase does not seem reasonable for the same storage, same pen and a non-laminated display. For this price increase, Apple should have bumped the base storage to 128 gb. on the iPad 10.
I went with the 10 because I DON'T use a pencil and the air gap isn't noticeable to me. Portability isn't an issue either, I'd rather use my phone in most cases. I wanted the front facing camera and the bigger screen because i'm a pilot and use foreflight and enjoy the bigger map display. I've had mini in the past and its slick and fun but its not as functional overall compared to a bigger tablet. Anyone saying it is has a VERY specific work idea for it imo. EDIT: i had the 9 for a bit with the pencil and I don't know why people hate the idea that the 10 doesn't support the 2nd. I never needed to charge the pencil it seemed, it lasts forever and charges quickly. If you have a cover on the mini you can't charge it on the top anyway in some cases. Unless you're an artist or heavy pencil note taker its not a big deal
I think people over estimate the need for a pencil. I use it as a drawing tool, but I don’t see why someone who doesn’t draw needs it. One of those cheap stylus can work as a pointer if that’s what you need.
@@sloppynyuszi Some people use it to take copious notes-they might be students, use it for work, or both, so the pencil would potentially get HOURS of use, even by someone who doesn’t draw (does doodling during meetings count?). I’m not an artist, but do like having my pencil. I *had* an Apple Pencil, but it flew out of my mini case’s elastic loop when I pulled something else out of my shopping bag, and didn’t realize that the iPad mini would LEAP out w/ it (it was a semi-tight fit). 😮 I bought a replacement pencil, BUT it’s a generic one, and it suits my needs perfectly. 👌 The one I bought was $37, and it both stores AND charges magnetically against the iPad! I didn’t even know that that was on offer, but Amazon suggested the item to me-otherwise, I would’ve settled for one that charges w/ a USB-C cable. At about 1/3 the cost of an Apple Pencil, I’d recommend it for people who want one, but don’t want to spend $130 on it.
Watching this from my ipad 9th gen. I think better on smaller ipad which is easy to hold, when playing games your hand not too tired when you hold a bigger ipad and heavy, easy to carry around or when you go out, you can carry in a smaller bag, i got this bulky ipad sometimes hard to carry around but i love my ipad for watching movies. Depend on how you use it.
Great comparison 🔥 I bought the iPad mini 6 a couple of days ago, it is serving me the way I planned to use it for: reading , designing social media posts, consuming content, gaming. Surprisingly the iPad mini 6 price in where i live (Iraq) is $440! (Brand new)
I’m now on my THIRD iPad mini (Gen. 2, 4, and now 6), and I ❤️ this form factor! Not everyone will be able to do this, since it depends on their life circumstances, but I use the iPad mini 6 as my daily driver. I’m usually on wifi, so I don’t need a robust data plan, and bought Mint Mobile’s lowest one (4GB for $15/mo.). I have Bluetooth headphones, so phone/video calls can be answered remotely. For my daily basic needs (email, calendar, reminders, podcasts, music, TH-cam, browser, photos, alarms, etc.), the iPad mini 6 can do it ALL! What I love is that the screen is big enough to see most things that don’t require much detailed viewing, yet is light & portable (I’m a female who uses a smallish crossbody bag). I love not needing a smartphone! I have a 2-in-1 (HP Spectre), if I need a bigger screen and capabilities that this mini-tablet doesn’t possess. For the right user, the iPad mini could easily be their go-to for potentially EVERYTHING, if possible. If Apple didn’t deliberately leave out certain features that one would have on a laptop, I’d just have a separate screen and keyboard to use it on a desktop.
I would point out that most people use the iPad mini in portrait mode, especially since there’s no first party keyboard for the device. I wouldn’t want Apple to move the camera to landscape since that would be weird.
Well for me I love to use the iPad with an external monitor and the Apple keyboard and trackpad if I want a more desktop feel, and. Just unplug when I want to leave and use it as a iPad.
Another great comparison, thanks! I wish my mini 6 had the camera on the side like the iPad 10 does because for me that's its only flaw. The smaller size of the mini 6 is perfect for my use case, but if I wanted a larger iPad my preference these days would be an iPad Air.
Love love my iPad Air. I very rarely watch tv, but I do watch shows and movies on my iPad. I have iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (3rd generation). I also have a protective cover on it. It does have a crack on a corner but the cover is doing a great job of keeping it together.
I have iPad mini and iPad Pro - I hate the fact that iPad mini doesn’t look very bright. It’s 500 nits on paper but that’s a smaller surface area lighting up so my eyes perceive it as dim. I can barely see stuff during day time. My daughter has the last gen iPad and that screen gets blindingly bright compared to iPad mini.
That’s definitely a notable CON for the iPad mini! The screen is never bright enough for outdoor use, and just barely enough for daytime use, if you’re near a window.
I have a mini and still have an iPad 9th gen. I don’t use a pencil much, but can use the Logitech crayon in the rare event I feel like writing. Thankfully, there are also cheaper keyboards for iPad than the Magic Keyboard, whose price I can’t justify. Again, Logitech is my go-to. I’m not affiliated with them or compensated in any way-I think they just deliver a great product at more sane prices. I may trade my 9th gen at some point but may wait for the next/11th gen. If I need to type using the mini, I have a Bluetooth full size keyboard that works, but I normally use it for consumption as I use a regular laptop for work.
The selling points of this iPad (10th generation) for me were the landscaped front-facing camera, silver color-way option, and the braided cable-which all of these mentioned the iPad Air doesn't have. iPad Pro would have been too overkill for me and the iPad mini is way out of my league with its small form factor.
In India the cost get fluctuate as we go through different sites. Amazon or Flipkart available iPad 10 at ₹40,000 = $489 and iPad mini at ₹46,000=$549 (approx) I gonna get iPad 9 at ₹33,000=$399 Should I go through iPad 10 with this price
@@sugarplum8888 I just gonna say that wait a bit for iPad mini 7. You won’t regret it later, yeah if iPad mini 7 is gonna launch after a year then probably go for mini 6. Use it for couple of years then switch to other ones. But don’t get iPad 10(warning)(Alert)…
I mostly need the iPad for my business scheduling billing and content/ designs an I’m kind of torn between the two even with this info I’m not sure which to go with!
If you want something that's easy to take with you and has a great display, then the iPad mini might be a better choice for you. On the other hand, if you want a bigger screen and something that's a bit more budget-friendly, then the 10th generation iPad could be the way to go. Ultimately, it's all about what works best for your needs and preferences! I got an iPad Air 5th Gen with a student offer. In India 🇮🇳 , The iPad Mini starts at ₹49900 ($605.96) yikes!.. Whereas the iPad 10th Gen is about ₹44900 ($545.25). iPads are very overpriced here in India.
They sure are! I’m planning to buy my first ever iPad, and just seeing the prices is giving me a headache. And deciding which one to get is super confusing as well!
@@Geniekyu same here with me , I am confused with all three in India during sale difference between mini and 10th gen is 50$ and difference between air m1 and 10th gen is 100$ , I want a pencil too so these prices are extremely confusing 😂
@@NayagarhSensei I’ve just stopped thinking about it for now. Hopefully, in a month or two the prices will go down? 😭 I don’t really need a pencil but I’ve seen so many unboxing videos that it makes me want to have one so a cheap alternative will do the job I guess 😬
@@Geniekyu if you want it for drawing and editing and for content browsing ipad will do a better job, but for content browsing the cheap alternative will be better with those amoled screens.
If you take versatility and mindful use of technology into account, then Ipad 10 wins everytime over mini because, 1. Dont have to squint your eyes to look at smaller screen. 2.Parallel viewing in landscape mode is better in ipad. 3.Notetaking, journalling, reading - comfortable with bigger screen. 4. Using ipad as a laptop is less cumbersome than using mini the same way. 5. Can place ipad at an eye-safe-distance for media consumption..
My aunts and uncles would much prefer the iPad 10 over the iPad mini not only has the iPad mini is around $200 more but because the iPhone 10 has a larger display
My main reason for minis is resell value. Minis seem to hold their value much longer than standard iPads like the 10. Used iPad 10 sells for as much as a used iPad mini 5 while a used mini 6 still sells for as much as a new 10
I would say the mini is better as it offers a better screen and cpu for just $50 more. I also don't particularly like using a large tablet, feels like a laptop.
A ratio between 4:3 and 3:2 is not possible for me in 2023. For any video we have huge black bars on the top and the bottom. Seems to use a tablet from 2015.
I have the iPad 9 that works good for me the iPad 10 is nice but with only Apple Pencil 1 support and have to use a cable or dongle to charge that was the one main reason to skip it and wait for the iPad 11.
great video as always! for my spouse and I, we decided on the ipad 10 because of screen size. the mini's screen size is too close to our iphones screen to justify carrying a seperate item that does the same thing. not to mention its more expensive than the ipad 10.
Great video once again, tnx. What keyboard do you recommend on these newer iPads. I know you did a video on keyboards a while ago. Would that still be valid?
i'm seriously consider trading my m2 11" for a mini 6... it gets a bit much holding this device all day lol they're a lot heavier than tahn youtubers make it out to be
I actually bought the 10 first, but realized what I actually wanted was a laptop. I thought it was too cumbersome, and although it was cool, I ended up not liking it much. I swapped it for the mini and haven’t looked back. Love the mini way more than the 10. It’s just way more portable and doesn’t try to be a laptop. I do think it was way too expensive though 😅
I have the mini 5 and I just got the 10th gen for a discounted price £380 and I’m happy. I get a bigger screen and still get to use the pencil however I will need to get an adapter. The mini 5 just runs out so fast and while I did want the mini 6 the price is absolutely abysmal. Apple overprice things a lot but I’m happy with the deal here.
Changing my mini for the 10. On,y use it for emails and media content so the big screen is a plus for me. I don’t game or use photo shop type apps. Maybe use to make some teams calls so the landscape mounted selfie cam is a huge plus.
I just don’t understand the point of such large iPads. I have a MacBook Air 13”. Why buy something that’s just a bit smaller? I can watch movies on my Mac if I want the larger display. And I don’t think the iPad is much more portable than the Mac. I will buy the mini mostly for drawing and reading
I just ordered the Gen 10 (256) today. Through my wireless service. Cost a bit more than the price you said, I assuming it’s because it’s through a mobile provider. It’s replacing my Gen 5. My 5 has been through a lot… Since 2018, I think. Now I’m using it for work, it wants to roll over and play dead at times. I’m hoping it’s worth the money.
I’ve never owned an iPad, but I have used tablet devices and I must say I’ve never liked the idea of a gigantic laptop like screen on an iPad. The mini is in my opinion better at being a tablet/iPad. Although the 10th gen is a bargain.
For a high school student, would the mini 6 be better than a budget windows laptop (that's roughly half the price 100 - $200). Minus all of the extra perks that the Mini can offer.
id say go with a laptop, ipads cant do everything a laptop can do. they may be more convenient, but laptops have microsoft word and such, which is used a lot in school, where ipads do not
just go with the laptop, you're gonna need some software that might not available in ipad (in my experience), also, many task may not fits on tablet ability like interchange data with friends, editing documents with ease (some are not comfort using tablet)
I was doing some research for Ipad Mini. Just curious if its good for taking notes, watching movies and for content creator. I do still using my journal for taking notes but i need something paperless.
I have the iPad mini. I watch movies, play games, take notes with the pencil with it. The reason why I'm looking at the iPad 10 is for the note taking. I love that is has a bigger screen for it. I looked at the Remarkable 2 but mehhhhhh... Also, the fact that the Pencil 2 isn't compatible with iPad 10 is a bummer... Any thoughts guys?

I think people over estimate the need for a pencil. I use it as a drawing tool, but I don’t see why someone who doesn’t draw needs it. One of those cheap stylus can work as a pointer if that’s what you need.
@@sloppynyuszi Some people use it to take copious notes-they might be students, use it for work, or both, so the pencil would potentially get HOURS of use, even by someone who doesn’t draw (does doodling during meetings count?).
I’m not an artist, but do like having my pencil. I *had* an Apple Pencil, but it flew out of my mini case’s elastic loop when I pulled something else out of my shopping bag, and didn’t realize that the iPad mini would LEAP out w/ it (it was a semi-tight fit). 😮
I bought a replacement pencil, BUT it’s a generic one, and it suits my needs perfectly. 👌 The one I bought was $37, and it both stores AND charges magnetically against the iPad! I didn’t even know that that was on offer, but Amazon suggested the item to me-otherwise, I would’ve settled for one that charges w/ a USB-C cable.
At about 1/3 the cost of an Apple Pencil, I’d recommend it for people who want one, but don’t want to spend $130 on it.
btw, there are 3rd parties that sell their pen for iPad. I am using one for my iPad mini5 :)
Watching this from my ipad 9th gen. I think better on smaller ipad which is easy to hold, when playing games your hand not too tired when you hold a bigger ipad and heavy, easy to carry around or when you go out, you can carry in a smaller bag, i got this bulky ipad sometimes hard to carry around but i love my ipad for watching movies. Depend on how you use it.
Great comparison 🔥
I bought the iPad mini 6 a couple of days ago, it is serving me the way I planned to use it for: reading , designing social media posts, consuming content, gaming.
Surprisingly the iPad mini 6 price in where i live (Iraq) is $440! (Brand new)
Hello, please, I have a question
What’s the iPad mini 6 like for graphic design?❤
@@view596
It’s pretty decent, I use Adobe Express for designing and it is good enough for an ipad. But you can’t do as much as you can do on PC
Which ipad storage u bought 64 or 256?
I’m now on my THIRD iPad mini (Gen. 2, 4, and now 6), and I ❤️ this form factor!
Not everyone will be able to do this, since it depends on their life circumstances, but I use the iPad mini 6 as my daily driver. I’m usually on wifi, so I don’t need a robust data plan, and bought Mint Mobile’s lowest one (4GB for $15/mo.).
I have Bluetooth headphones, so phone/video calls can be answered remotely. For my daily basic needs (email, calendar, reminders, podcasts, music, TH-cam, browser, photos, alarms, etc.), the iPad mini 6 can do it ALL!
What I love is that the screen is big enough to see most things that don’t require much detailed viewing, yet is light & portable (I’m a female who uses a smallish crossbody bag). I love not needing a smartphone! I have a 2-in-1 (HP Spectre), if I need a bigger screen and capabilities that this mini-tablet doesn’t possess.
For the right user, the iPad mini could easily be their go-to for potentially EVERYTHING, if possible. If Apple didn’t deliberately leave out certain features that one would have on a laptop, I’d just have a separate screen and keyboard to use it on a desktop.
tldr
@@tordb And yet still had the energy to comment. 👏 👌
(No dad or male role models growing up? 😂)
I love the mini because it can fit into my handbag. It’s just so cute and you can do so much with it.
I would point out that most people use the iPad mini in portrait mode, especially since there’s no first party keyboard for the device. I wouldn’t want Apple to move the camera to landscape since that would be weird.
Well for me I love to use the iPad with an external monitor and the Apple keyboard and trackpad if I want a more desktop feel, and. Just unplug when I want to leave and use it as a iPad.
Also really love using my HomePod mini’s when watching TH-cam and movies.
Thanks so much for contributing.
Another great comparison, thanks! I wish my mini 6 had the camera on the side like the iPad 10 does because for me that's its only flaw. The smaller size of the mini 6 is perfect for my use case, but if I wanted a larger iPad my preference these days would be an iPad Air.
Love love my iPad Air. I very rarely watch tv, but I do watch shows and movies on my iPad. I have iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (3rd generation). I also have a protective cover on it. It does have a crack on a corner but the cover is doing a great job of keeping it together.
That makes a lot of sense, Bryan. Thanks for watching!
I have iPad mini and iPad Pro - I hate the fact that iPad mini doesn’t look very bright. It’s 500 nits on paper but that’s a smaller surface area lighting up so my eyes perceive it as dim. I can barely see stuff during day time. My daughter has the last gen iPad and that screen gets blindingly bright compared to iPad mini.
Great input - thanks.
That’s definitely a notable CON for the iPad mini! The screen is never bright enough for outdoor use, and just barely enough for daytime use, if you’re near a window.
Thank you. I choose the 10. Was gonna buy the mini until I watched this. Appreciate your hard work
So glad it was helpful. I appreciate you for being part of the channel!
I have a mini and still have an iPad 9th gen. I don’t use a pencil much, but can use the Logitech crayon in the rare event I feel like writing. Thankfully, there are also cheaper keyboards for iPad than the Magic Keyboard, whose price I can’t justify. Again, Logitech is my go-to. I’m not affiliated with them or compensated in any way-I think they just deliver a great product at more sane prices. I may trade my 9th gen at some point but may wait for the next/11th gen. If I need to type using the mini, I have a Bluetooth full size keyboard that works, but I normally use it for consumption as I use a regular laptop for work.
I am from Italy. IPad mini basic start 659€, iPad 10 basic start 589€. Tanks for video. You are the best. Bye.
Thanks so much for the info and the kind words!
After seeing all the differences, I choose the ipad 10th generation cuz I prefer larger things.
As I live in Australia the 10th is $749 and the mini is around $830 base price
The selling points of this iPad (10th generation) for me were the landscaped front-facing camera, silver color-way option, and the braided cable-which all of these mentioned the iPad Air doesn't have. iPad Pro would have been too overkill for me and the iPad mini is way out of my league with its small form factor.
Makes a lot of sense.
In India the cost get fluctuate as we go through different sites.
Amazon or Flipkart available
iPad 10 at ₹40,000 = $489 and
iPad mini at ₹46,000=$549 (approx)
I gonna get iPad 9 at ₹33,000=$399
Should I go through iPad 10 with this price
Hi! Should i buy ipad mini 6 or wait for mini 7 ?
@@sugarplum8888 I just gonna say that wait a bit for iPad mini 7. You won’t regret it later, yeah if iPad mini 7 is gonna launch after a year then probably go for mini 6. Use it for couple of years then switch to other ones. But don’t get iPad 10(warning)(Alert)…
Are anti-glare screen protectors effective on iPads?
initially bought an ipad mini for reading but now with a decent case and handstrap i prefer my 12.9” ipad because the screen is so much better.
I mostly need the iPad for my business scheduling billing and content/ designs an I’m kind of torn between the two even with this info I’m not sure which to go with!
and which one did you finally choose?
I already buy the iPad mini 6 today I AM VERY EXCITED I waited 2 years this is GOOD for gaming since I am a gamer and student 🤩
The screen isnt to small? And have u tried procreate on it?
@@annaholme6537 yes drawing is soso but i recommend using a bigger screen for drawing since you get more room :)
Thank you for this informative and helpful review!
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel 🙏🏻
If you want something that's easy to take with you and has a great display, then the iPad mini might be a better choice for you. On the other hand, if you want a bigger screen and something that's a bit more budget-friendly, then the 10th generation iPad could be the way to go. Ultimately, it's all about what works best for your needs and preferences! I got an iPad Air 5th Gen with a student offer.
In India 🇮🇳 , The iPad Mini starts at ₹49900 ($605.96) yikes!.. Whereas the iPad 10th Gen is about ₹44900 ($545.25). iPads are very overpriced here in India.
They sure are! I’m planning to buy my first ever iPad, and just seeing the prices is giving me a headache. And deciding which one to get is super confusing as well!
@@Geniekyu same here with me , I am confused with all three in India during sale difference between mini and 10th gen is 50$ and difference between air m1 and 10th gen is 100$ , I want a pencil too so these prices are extremely confusing 😂
@@NayagarhSensei I’ve just stopped thinking about it for now. Hopefully, in a month or two the prices will go down? 😭 I don’t really need a pencil but I’ve seen so many unboxing videos that it makes me want to have one so a cheap alternative will do the job I guess 😬
@@Geniekyu if you want it for drawing and editing and for content browsing ipad will do a better job, but for content browsing the cheap alternative will be better with those amoled screens.
Excellent video. iPad 10, I choose you.
I got a refurb iPad mini 6 for £479 from Apple... A couple of months back I could have bought a brand new one for that amount
I have the mini 6 and the iPad Pro 12.9. Both are 256 WiFi & lte. I find myself using the mini about 90% of the time.
If you take versatility and mindful use of technology into account, then Ipad 10 wins everytime over mini because,
1. Dont have to squint your eyes to look at smaller screen.
2.Parallel viewing in landscape mode is better in ipad.
3.Notetaking, journalling, reading - comfortable with bigger screen.
4. Using ipad as a laptop is less cumbersome than using mini the same way.
5. Can place ipad at an eye-safe-distance for media consumption..
1:17 unironically got surprised when you used DBS:Broly footage for this lmao
Here in the UK, direct from Apple, the iPad 10 starts at £499 and the mini starts at £569, that's mopre than a $50 difference over here!
Thank you for the intel, Andy. That is a MUCH bigger difference.
@@TechGearTalk And the 10 with 256 and cellular is £859 and the mini to the same spec is £929
@@camerabag1510 now starts at £310
My aunts and uncles would much prefer the iPad 10 over the iPad mini not only has the iPad mini is around $200 more but because the iPhone 10 has a larger display
Makes sense.
My main reason for minis is resell value. Minis seem to hold their value much longer than standard iPads like the 10. Used iPad 10 sells for as much as a used iPad mini 5 while a used mini 6 still sells for as much as a new 10
Someone should recommend for gaming which would be best?
Do iPad 9 vs ,iPad 10 vs ,iPad Air 4 vs iPad Mini 6
I would say the mini is better as it offers a better screen and cpu for just $50 more. I also don't particularly like using a large tablet, feels like a laptop.
A ratio between 4:3 and 3:2 is not possible for me in 2023. For any video we have huge black bars on the top and the bottom.
Seems to use a tablet from 2015.
I’m from Mexico and the iPad 10 price converted to US dollars is around 600
Excellent review❗️
I have the iPad 9 that works good for me the iPad 10 is nice but with only Apple Pencil 1 support and have to use a cable or dongle to charge that was the one main reason to skip it and wait for the iPad 11.
I appreciate you contributing, Jeremy.
super helpful, thank you so much for making this content
Both are portable. Both screens are OK. iPad 10 is cheaper, and has a larger screen. We already have a small screens in our phones. No brainer.
Which is better to use as notebook and book reading, and little bit media consumption?
10
Obviously the mini.
Was a great vid i bought the i pad 10 btw can u share the links of the wallpapers ?
Can you suggest ipad for kids apple
great video as always! for my spouse and I, we decided on the ipad 10 because of screen size. the mini's screen size is too close to our iphones screen to justify carrying a seperate item that does the same thing. not to mention its more expensive than the ipad 10.
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your decision-making process.
Great video once again, tnx. What keyboard do you recommend on these newer iPads. I know you did a video on keyboards a while ago. Would that still be valid?
Are you still working on that iPad battery test comparison you were talking about?
Whats ur advice for me i want it for gaming mostly pubg so for what i go the 10 or mini 6
Minni
i'm seriously consider trading my m2 11" for a mini 6... it gets a bit much holding this device all day lol
they're a lot heavier than tahn youtubers make it out to be
If the mini6 has all the features you need, GO FOR IT!! 👍 👍 👍
I love mine, and am on my third mini (had gen 2 & 4 before, now using 6).
I’m watching on my iPad mini 5 still working very smoothly
I think its going to be discontinued in iOS 22
I actually bought the 10 first, but realized what I actually wanted was a laptop. I thought it was too cumbersome, and although it was cool, I ended up not liking it much. I swapped it for the mini and haven’t looked back. Love the mini way more than the 10. It’s just way more portable and doesn’t try to be a laptop. I do think it was way too expensive though 😅
Thank you for watching. I’m super glad that you got something that works well for you. CONGRATS!!!
whats the game ure playing at 1:24 ?
Thanks for watching. It’s Genshin Impact. Hope that helps.
I have the mini 5 and I just got the 10th gen for a discounted price £380 and I’m happy. I get a bigger screen and still get to use the pencil however I will need to get an adapter. The mini 5 just runs out so fast and while I did want the mini 6 the price is absolutely abysmal. Apple overprice things a lot but I’m happy with the deal here.
Changing my mini for the 10. On,y use it for emails and media content so the big screen is a plus for me. I don’t game or use photo shop type apps. Maybe use to make some teams calls so the landscape mounted selfie cam is a huge plus.
Is the mini made of gold or what 499
From Australia. Our mini 6 and ipad 10 is $80 difference
I’m thinking of getting the iPad mini 6 for script work but I just wish that they had the iPad 10s pink
I have a 1 question: What is the best ipad for gaming Ipad 10th gen or Ipad mini 6?(Please reply me)
as he claimed on previous videos on mini 6 he prefered it over regular and ipad air etc plus it has A15 bionic which is definitely Better.
I have a ipad mini 4 so i never owned a bigger screen device i still don’t know what to choice
I just don’t understand the point of such large iPads. I have a MacBook Air 13”. Why buy something that’s just a bit smaller? I can watch movies on my Mac if I want the larger display. And I don’t think the iPad is much more portable than the Mac. I will buy the mini mostly for drawing and reading
If battery life is more vulnerable to you then iPad 10th gen is good to go, bcz it has the best battery life in whole iPad lineup.
Ordered my mini 6 for 400 USD in purple and I can't wait for it to show up
In Australia the iPad Mini starts at $829 and iPad 10 starts at $599. If it was a $50 difference here in Australia I would go the mini
I'm from austria. The 10 is about 400€, the mini 6 costs nearly 550-600. depends on the seller.
I’m getting both of them but still good vid
Which ipad is the best in gaming Ipad 10.9 or ipad 6 mini?
mmm good question...i have buy 2 ipadas one 10.9 and 6 mini togheter
Nice comparison video
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! I appreciate you for being part of the channel!
love my ipad mini combine with my samsung S20fe
Bro same devices i have hehe
I just ordered the Gen 10 (256) today. Through my wireless service. Cost a bit more than the price you said, I assuming it’s because it’s through a mobile provider. It’s replacing my Gen 5. My 5 has been through a lot… Since 2018, I think. Now I’m using it for work, it wants to roll over and play dead at times.
I’m hoping it’s worth the money.
We pay 760$ for Ipad mini + 2nd gen pen. I live in Istanbul. I am planning to buy but also I wanna wait for M3 Ipad Pro.
Where I from both cost 3k but for the extra gb they will cost about 5k
I’ve sold iPad and got mini. Big iPad is pointless for me as I have laptop for productivity.
in DE ipad mini 6 starts at 600eur. thats ridicolous , as eur is more worth it should even be cheaper.
great video thanks
I’ve never owned an iPad, but I have used tablet devices and I must say I’ve never liked the idea of a gigantic laptop like screen on an iPad. The mini is in my opinion better at being a tablet/iPad. Although the 10th gen is a bargain.
For a high school student, would the mini 6 be better than a budget windows laptop (that's roughly half the price 100 - $200). Minus all of the extra perks that the Mini can offer.
Hm it depends, is the mini going to be your main consumption device or a laptop replacement. If that’s the case you might need a bigger size.
@@jayyli7204 well I was curious bc the person already has the iPad but they're said they need the laptop for school work
id say go with a laptop, ipads cant do everything a laptop can do. they may be more convenient, but laptops have microsoft word and such, which is used a lot in school, where ipads do not
just go with the laptop, you're gonna need some software that might not available in ipad (in my experience), also, many task may not fits on tablet ability like interchange data with friends, editing documents with ease (some are not comfort using tablet)
Great Vid dude!... what console or device are you running for TMNT classic game at 12:13? thanks
I was doing some research for Ipad Mini. Just curious if its good for taking notes, watching movies and for content creator. I do still using my journal for taking notes but i need something paperless.
I have the Mini 6, and I think it’s the perfect size for what you’re looking for, and it’s super lightweight so perfect for on the go as well
Can we have a link to your wallpaper?
Can i use it for sculpting in nomad sculp app? Can it run without lag?
I am in sg so the iPad 10 is 529$ for iPad mini is 729$
I have the iPad mini. I watch movies, play games, take notes with the pencil with it. The reason why I'm looking at the iPad 10 is for the note taking. I love that is has a bigger screen for it. I looked at the Remarkable 2 but mehhhhhh...
Also, the fact that the Pencil 2 isn't compatible with iPad 10 is a bummer...
Any thoughts guys?
That’s what’s keeping me from getting it. I like things to be compatible since we’re all Apple in my family
