I had the 6th gen mini and upgraded. The Touch ID was broken on the 6 and then I lost my 2nd gen Apple Pencil, so it gave me a reason to grade. I now have the 7th gen and the Apple Pencil Pro and I love it. I read from mine and it’s great to carry to church with the Bible app and taking notes. Perfect size to throw in my purse.
I bought one as an upgrade from a mini 4. I don’t understand the hatred for the tablet with some You tubers out there. Not everyone wants an M4 chip in a huge screen that will not fit in a pocket. Doctors and small plane pilots are two examples that spring to mind. This fits the gap between my iPhone 13 and my Mac. Plus, I get the chip for Apple Intelligence without having to pay more money to upgrade my phone.
I switched from an iPad 10 gen to this mini in November and absolutely love it. I wonder why I didn’t make the switch years ago because for what I use it for reading, email, notes, etc the mini is perfect and now it’s easier for me to carry. Nice video and showing practical uses for the everyday user. I don’t need another tech comparison video.
Fantastic review! I received a new Mini 7 for Christmas to replace my 12.9" Pro and absolutely love it! I'm still learning all of the features of the Mini and your video definitely helps. Keep up the great work!
I was really excited for this addition, but after I use the AI features on my iPhone, it didn’t really seem worth the upgrade. I still have the 6 and it performs just fine.
@@ArthropodSpidey How about you reread what I wrote?! Did I ever say I was buying it? NO!!! People always have something condescending to say. I was also about to mention the hardware and software, so maybe you shouldn’t jump to conclusions and be so judgmental. You punk!
@@ArthropodSpidey what is wrong with you? Why are you attacking me for no reason? Why does it even concern you if I get it or not? And what are you, the grammar police? How about you? Reread what I wrote because apparently you can’t read English buddy! And I’m Russian! Maybe be more considerate to people and don’t just attack people because you feel like it!
I currently have Series 6; haven’t decided whether I’ll upgrade to Series 7. Because of its diverse applications and uses I believe there’s a case for both Touch ID and Face ID on iPad Mini.
I went from the 6 to 7, I do think the 7 was noticeably faster. That said if you don’t use apple intelligence sage your money. I love my iPad mini 7 but the 6 is so close
In the near future when I’ll be needing a bigger screen for my eyes, I’ll get the iPad Mini. Maybe by that time, the camera will improve and will be comparable to iPhone Pro series.
But the ipad mini isn’t for everyone. This wouldn’t be for me because I draw on my ipad. The small size is not worth it for artists. Though, I do see it useful for those who move around a lot with their ipad. And the usbc port is on all ipad starting at air 5 or 10th gen ipad. Not just the minis. I’m very happy that Apple put the usbc for the iphone 15 and newer ipad models.
How is it the best iPad of 2025 when Lazy Apple didn’t even fix the scrolling problem? That fact alone excludes it from holding any best of award. Recently the only Apple product in any of their product offerings worthy of the best of Apple was the Mac mini m4, let me be clear ONLY the base model. Your declaration of the iPad mini 7 being the best iPad of 2025 is premature at best and short sighted at least, let’s wait until we are well into 2025 to make any best of claims for any of Apple’s product releases to see if they are up to the task or need to step aside and let a real tech company take the lead. Perhaps your thumbnail was just clickbait

maybe.. just maybe you don't need to fit a gap between a phone and a computer
I have the ipad mini 7 and i love it so much. The size is what i love most about this ipad!

great review....very helpful
Thanks for your review.

Who the hell buys a new iPad mini just for the AI? You're buying it for the faster processor and more storage.

@@ArthropodSpidey I was going to mention the hardware and the software. Did I say I was getting it! No!
@@m.hreels9822 is English your first language? We call that a rhetorical question.
I'd say you have more issues to sort out than the iPad mini does.

I've never had an issue with faceID in any lighting conditions so its weird hearing you talk about issues in bright sunlight.
This is so comprehensive and useful. Thank you!
Very good video mate.

“I barely have anything on this iPad”. Bro you have 1,928 videos and 15,650 photos! That’s barely anything that’s using up so much space!
iCloud storage. It shows your library in full even if not on iPad fully

15:30 the 3 x 1 split didn't look that way prior iPadOS 18. I hate how the small window is even smaller now. It was already fine before.
But the ipad mini isn’t for everyone. This wouldn’t be for me because I draw on my ipad. The small size is not worth it for artists.

I would buy it with OLED Screen.
I’d rather have it than my iphone
Let me know when you can pair your Apple Watch with the iPad mini
How much storage space does Apple Intelligence take up?
It doesn’t support older Apple Pencils. Just the pro and the usb-c. Great vid tho.
The 60hz refesh rate makes everthing you do on it seem laggy, if you've used 120hz phone or ipad pros.
Very true, it sucks
i simply cant deal with that in 2025
What phone case are you using?
No chapers markers, sorry can't watch.
The 60hz display will give you cancer 😂
Dude at least turn off the True Tone piss filter for the video.
😂😂piss filter
@@ArthropodSpidey OK bro what is your issue first do you have something to say about my comment and now you’re being rude towards him!
@@ArthropodSpidey like bro if you’re just here to piss on everybody else you should go!
@@ArthropodSpidey maybe find something better to do then just leave nasty comments and be a jerk towards everyone here!
@@ArthropodSpidey I’m really getting tired of you being nasty to people on here! STOP IT!!!
