The new iPad Mini wouldn't change your workflow at all. Apple aims to get people like my parents to upgrade, people who still use devices like the iPad Mini 2 (lol) If you're intrigued by Apple intelligence, that would be a reason to upgrade, but their AI implementation usefulness is...yet to be seen.
I ordered my Mini 6 and it got delivered literally the morning they announced the 7. I'd have returned if it came with ProMotion but alas. I'd rather say "oh this is 60hz because it's from 2021" rather than "they just didn't wanna give it 120hz"
I don't use the iPad mini but a galaxy tablet and I can say it improves my productivity so much more. It's so good to work on your device without receiving messages or calls. Your videos are always inspiring and I try to adapt many things on my galaxy and tab. Keep up your great work
I bought the new mini, my first mini. All my apple products are older. I don’t even have 5G on my phone. I was considering replacing it this year, but it still works fine. So I bought the mini for travel and something lighter to hold. I have the iPad Air from 2019 that I’m still using.
you should hold down your finger on the home screen and tap customize! you can tint all the apps to one color to have a solid color theme i love that and i use the focus profiles to set different wallpapers + home screen setups so when i’m drawing it’s one color and reading it’s another color/setup etc if you like that kind of thing
I've been waiting since first watching your other Mini videos for the latest version to be released before ordering one - and my time is now! The wait felt almost as long as one of your "let's get started" pauses... Lol
Hope you & your family are safe after those hurricanes that had hit recently - Currently watching on my iPad mini - Also not getting the new one considering it's lack luster upgrades, Cheers m8
Yes 60 hz refresh in 2024 is a letdown however the Mini 6 was very rock solid especially the cellular version. I went ahead and got a Mini 7 cellular since for me this is the best on the go device Apple has.
Last year I really I thought about getting a iPad mini with cellular data instead of another Pro Max. I use my phone more than any of my other computers for looking up documents and I don’t answer phone calls without having AirPods. The overlap is pretty big. All I would need is a good VoIP app to make the switch. I would save a ton of money on my phone bill, have a bigger screen, and be able to travel anywhere in the world with an internet connection without paying roaming fees.
I think we use the same low budget tablet pencil. I never gave much thought to screen protectors before. I would like it if an anti-glare ad on is possible. Nice video and I hope you made it through the storm ok.
I recently got an iPad and I really love the Goodnotes app. I’m able to have multiple notebooks on there- I have a journal, a planner, my class notes, and I doodle there too! Overall, a great investment.
I want to get paperlike screen protector but probably when i eventually get a new ipad. ive already had the mini for 2 years and i have wiped it with electronic wipes so im sure its not like perfect condition anymore. I havent had a laptop for a few years because of my ipad. seeing you use that desktop setup, i am tempted to get a keyboard mouse but i want something really portable that doesnt feel bad which is a challenge
I'm a big fan of your work. In the video, you connected your iPad to a monitor, and it made me wonder-since the monitor doesn't "properly use" the second screen (i.e., doesn't extend)-have you ever considered switching to a different iPad? I'd be curious to know if you're sticking with the Mini or if you could see yourself using a larger iPad.
Hello dear Nikolas. This was very nice video. Thank you for it. Yes we do like culm and interesting tech videos. Would like to hear your ideas regarding life overall. How you think we should spend time and feel ourselves with other? How you feel about generating ideas and filling. Time when you tired or have no motivation.
Nice video and congrats on the silver TH-cam award. I think you’re one of the few YT folk who use their mini with a monitor. Have yourself a lovely and I hope the hurricane didn’t cause you too many problems.
I am planning to purchase the new iPad Mini 7 which will also be my first iPad. May I ask how much storage have you used up on your device ? I have a similar using behaviours as yours so I want to take some reference from your experience. Thank you so much
The 60 hz screen is a monstrosity especially for users got used to 120 hz on other devices. Great video , personally I think a pro variant of mini would be the best selling product of apple after iPhones
Are you getting the new iPad mini or are you content with the current one? I’m debating on trading in the 6 for the 7, since there are introducing Apple Intelligence and the support for the Apple Pencil Pro. It peaked my interest since it allows me to track even the Apple Pencil, but I’m waiting a few months to see the reviews 😊
Not getting a new mini until it makes sense 👍🏻
I was waiting for the mini 7, but the update is so lackluster, I’m probably just going to save a couple hundred dollars and get the mini 6.

Same here, happy with my 6 64GB. All the extras are as of now promises not features on the new 7
@@NicholasGarofola oh and with the external monitor it’s great for multi tasking. Like emails and notes or teams/zoom

The God Pause was even more intense than the hurricane!
the smile at the end of it kind of relief
At some point during Halloween, you should put a jumpscare in that long pause 😂
THANK YOU, at least someone out there is supporting the iPad Mini, it’s incredibly unseated and in my opinion the best iPad of the line. :3
Weird seeing you here 🤣
@@RandyVazquez Oh I could say the same about you haha. 😆
@@NotNolanTEPM nah! I’ve been subscribed to Nick’s channel now for 2 years lol. Back when he had only a couple thousand subscribers 😁

I just upgraded to the mini 7 from the 2017 iPad Pro 10.5!
How is it so far?

Goodnotes is a great app

At this rate soon we’re going to watch videos of you just sitting there. And we’re going to do that aaaaall the way to the end 😂
I love how casually he acknowledges a hurricane going on outside his house
The iPad mini (A17 Pro) is out, are you planning to replace it?
Nope!
Would love to see a updated what's on my iPhone video for iOS 18 💪
Good idea! I plan on it
alright, I like that gaze
Okay that pause made me subscribe…
0:55 STARING CONTEST
I really hope the enable official stage manager support on the new one…let me use that 8gb of ram!
you are the best bro👊
Great video - hope you and yours stayed safe!
All good thank you!!
Lake worth!? We’re basically neighbors, I’m in Delray! 😂
Hey neighbor 👋🏻 Delray is way nicer 😅
How do you use your wireless mouse on your iPad given the G305 isn't bluetooth connective?
it’s a usb receiver, I plug it into either my usb hub or my monitor (plugging into monitor somehow works)
What do you think about the Remarkable PaperPro?
Hm I've never heard of that one
Love the video but about paperlike: I’ve heard that the tip of the pencil gets worn down by it. Can you confirm this?
Not a single issue like that on my end
@@NicholasGarofola oh that’s good to know, since when do you use paperlike?
I think the title has a typo in it, its supposed to be iOS 18 instead of OS18
Now you are freaking me out with the stare..... LOL!
Great video again bro! Which tan tshirt are you rocking in this one other than you green proof tee?
Belloroy let Nicholas to design a product!!
Bellroy seems to "sponsor" every youtuber now a days =(

The ONLY time I wish I had a bigger screen on an iPad is when I'm drawing on it, other than that I still think the mini is 100% perfect for me
What keyboard and mouse are you using?
Apple Magic Keyboard, and Logic G305 wireless mouse
Liked the video. I also liked the bracelet. Could you tell me where to get it? Thanks!
It's exactly this pack:

We are all here for the pause lol wth
New iPad mini 7 just miss stage manager in the external monitor
That exhale barely picked up on the mic during the pause, and I loved it. LOL. To add, I'm an iPad mini slut.
Overwatch tonight?
@@NicholasGarofola Heck yes dude. I’ll hit you up on discord, I’m available anytime after the kids go down at 7! 👊🏽👊🏽
Pinterest for Animal Crossing?! Hyped me up since I still play as well lol Do you have a DA? 😅

I don't think I've even gone over 100gb
I quit all Apple products back in 2018 and it was the smartest tech / money decision I ever made.
What you use now?
a friend just sent me the iPad Mini 6, so this is a great video to watch
I took a 20 second pause of silence before i hit the thumbs up button 😂
Love the fact that you accidentally discovered screen mirroring and dailydrive it now :D
Props for the lobotomize the subscribe button and the God pause.
Will you upgrade your ipad mini because apple gonna release a new version of the ipad soon
You should hold your breath during the pause and then do the lets get started.
The long stare is getting intense and intense! 😂

Pardon me sir, may I spare you a crop dusting?
