Who's buying an iPad mini 6 this year? And what are you going to do with it?
Honestly...your Paperlike ad spots are making want to get an iPad Mini!🤣🤣
Jelly screen, poor battery
Just got mine today. Going to use it for reading apple news and kindle and also to take to work. I have a ipad air 5th gen with the M1 at my workstation mounted and connected to an external DAC and headphone amp. Its my media machine while I am working.
well I bought one last summer.. upgraded all of my apple stuff last year! iphone 13pro, ipad mini 6 and the star of the show, m3pro 14".. I use the macbook for most stuff but the ipad is great for kicking back with some lighter stuff when the phone would be a little small. Mostly use it for youtube, web and occasional sketches with a cheap amazon pencil
@@yurad7429 No such problems for me.
Give it the a17 pro chip, Face ID and 120hz and it will sell like hot cakes.
100%, even if it was a few hundred bucks more expensive I would buy it right now.
I definitely agree. I had mini 4, mini 6 and in 2022 I switched to 11’ pro. I’d love to come back to mini because of its size - but -> I need 120 hz display and same pencil features as on pro version.
The same but the battery😢
and a keyboard would be nice
I don’t get it. Where do you guys live? I am based in Germany and I have never ever seen a person using an ipad mini. Literally everyone is using a 12.9 inch Pro or an 11 inch Pro. Very rarely I see people with a normal ipad or an air, but never a mini. That’s why I do not get when people praise the mini.
Sold my 12.9 inch iPad pro to buy one of these a while ago and don't regret it. Not being able to hold for longer than 20mins when consuming media and having to place on a table when sketching on the iPad pro turned out to be a deal breaker and meant I barely used it. Being able to hold in one hand an take notes in the other meant I could stand in meetings and still take notes and also was more likely to pick it up and take to meetings in the first place. Being able to hold it for longer than 20mins for media consumption meant I could use in in places like on the underground, waiting areas and on the sofa and again more likely to pick up and take with me the first place.
thanks, that’s what I needed to hear. Just bought a mini 6 used with 256GB for 400€. My guess is I can sell it for 300€+ any time to upgrade. I guess I will not feel like spending 800€+ for a new mini 7 ones it comes out and the differences might be not that big.
Totally agree, I bought mine over a month ago and it’s been with me for everything 😅 note taking, creating slides for presentations, reading. Second device for teams meeting TH-cam watching.
I'm waiting for the 7. Yes, it's annoying!
well in my country, Malaysia almost of Apple authorised resellers don't stock any ipad mini 6 anymore unless I buy Apple online so that could be an indication
Just got mine at Machines Pavilion Damansara few weeks back - may want to try there?
i think you convinced me with this one, mark. subscribed!
😅😅😅😅 you got me!! I am the one, waiting, checking the air, checking the mini .. back and forth! I think u are right! I buy a mini 6 and don’t wait longer! Thanks man
I bought my mini 6 just waiting for my paper lite screen protector. thanks for all your tips and advice.thanks 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇨🇦
Glad I could help!
Just bought the iPad mini last week. Coming from a Mac Pro and iPad Pro, which I was using for work. Figured out a new work flow that doesn’t need the iPad Pro. I love the iPad mini. My favourite device. And I’ve owned most of apples devices. I stood in line years ago to get the first iPad mini
you spent full price on a 2.5 year old tech . new one coming out soon
@@johnc1873 oh apple officially announced a release date?!?
@@johnc1873 and I didn’t actually pay full price
You catched the depreciation value.
@@johnc1873theyre $200 off lol its a great deal stop convincing yourself you need the latest and greatest
Get it. I just got one a few weeks back on Amazon for $100 less than list. Favorite iPad so far. Don’t even notice it’s smaller. Fits in my back jeans pocket and is so portable to travel with. I used to have a 1st gen 11 inch iPad Pro and like the iPad mini 6 even better.
I’ve think you’re spot on describing what are you waiting for bloke who is me. Checking out refurbished sites as mini 6 remains too pricey
Enjoyed the dramatic elements in this vid Mark, thanks :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a daily work-note user of an iPad mini 6 (using Goodnotes - awesome app!) I absolutely love the mini 6. I squeeze a huge office dry erase board PDF template into the mini and pinch and zoom in and out of my notes as needed. Then at the end of the shift I save out the pdf into iCloud, where it will live for a few weeks in case I need to reference it, and I then blank out the pdf master - now ready for next shift. Mark, thanks for the link to the alternate pencil, too. I might look into that! EDIT: And a public service announcement if one is using Papperlike.... Clean the screen off ever so often! Especially if the 'grab' of the paper-ness is faded. It just needs a screen clean.
Just replaced my iPad Pro for an iPad mini 6 and love it. Small, portable and when it is inside my backpack I can’t really notice it.
And paired with the MacBook it makes the perfect companion.
I have one of each. Ipad air 5 and a mini
Two is wonderful
I just bought a screen cover from Astropad that also came with two Apple Pencil tips the size of a regular #7 pen tip. It literally writes like pen and paper. I looked at the one featured here but still the thick imprecise pencil tip.
I’ve had the Mini 6 since it came out and it’s my go to device at home. Now with the Astropad I’m also taking it to work and actually using the Notes app like I had intended when I bought it.
I'm a fan of the Mini line but my answer is 'no'.
The device dates from 2021 and we're in 2024, which is a lot when you consider the price of the device (not forgetting that in Europe the price of this device has jumped by €200 for no reason in 3 years).
What's more, with hindsight, if we put aside the aesthetic change, the mini 6 isn't much different from the mini 5.
When the mini 6 came out, I was tempted to sell my mini 5. In the end, I'm still with the mini 5, which after 6 years is still supported by iPadOS and still meets my needs (ebooks and multimedia consumption).
I purchased an iPad mini 6 in August 2023. I used it every day. It was perfect.
Then I started thinking I needed a larger screen. I traded in my mini fur an Air 5. After using it for 4 weeks, I deeply regret getting it. 😢
My new mini 6 arrived tomorrow, and my air 5 will be going to a new home as soon as possible. ❤
I would love that iPad are u selling? Or for free?
I’m waiting on the mini 7. I just need them to fix the jelly scroll (by fix, I mean move it to the horizontal orientation as the screen tearing is there on all displays) and hopefully we’ll get a base storage increase to 128gb and better battery life.
I bought the mini 6 at launch and had to return it because the jelly scroll gave me motion sickness 😢.
Thank you for this video. I have been considering the iPad Pro 12.9 inch. The price is quite high and it is a big iPad but it makes much more sense to get an iPad mini which is more portable.
Definitely waiting for the iPad mini 7 to see if they will move the screen controller back to the top in portrait orientation. Jelly scrolling is too much for me in the iPad mini 6 in portrait.
Mark, I really enjoyed the video. The video feels vivid. It's not that old same youtuber stuck on a chair and talking. Yours is more lively (sorry I'm not English and maybe you don't get the idea). Keep up the good work, you're doing great!. Btw, I'm buying this iPad Mini 6 and will be using my 2017 iPad Pro just for media consumption (battery is almost dead).
I have one and don't use it as much as I thought, but also pause every time I think I should just sell it.... and this video was an emotional tour de force.... 😁
Wowwwwwwwwwww you narrowed me down so good… love the vids keep it going man
Awesome! Thank you!
I bought one two weeks ago. I must admit it only took a week of use for me to wonder why I’d waited so long, and how I’d managed to lug my iPad Pro around for two years!
I love mine. I bought it on release month and it’s my daily driver.
I’m still waiting for the 7. I had a 6 and sold it before I found a good use for it. I’m now kicking myself
I'm using the pixel fold... And that is like an iPad mini, but also a phone, that you can actually handle... Love your videos Mark, you put a lot of love into these projects and it really shows.
It’s flat? Really?
@@avkay12 okay... You got me there... It does flat out, but needs an extra push! Lol
Ugh.
I have the ipad mini for 2 years now, and it completely changed the way I take note. I used to have many notebooks with me in order to organize life - work. Now, it's just this tiny device.
I regrettably just sold my Mini 6 and immediately had seller’s remorse. Got a refurbished 11” Pro as I wanted to be able to log in to my work cloud VM and have enough screen real estate to perform tasks. And for that got a refurb Magic Keyboard. Now it may work out just fine but right now I feel as though my whole use case will change. Time will tell but if and when a mini 7 comes out, I’ll more than likely go back.
I was let down again today. No iPad mini 😔
I almost ordered an iPad mini 6 new from Amazon for $400, but then I saw a refurbished Pro 11 from 2018 for $300 😳 so I bought it, and I absolutely love it, but unfortunately, it just doesn’t travel like the mini ! So I’ll still probably buy one soon 😂👍
Love the videos Mark :)
I’m in no rush, will wait for the 7 as it will hopefully have better brightness and 120hz
I’ve been saying that I’m waiting impatiently for the 7th Generation, but your video did make me look up how much I’d need to spend to get a 6th Gen now. (I’ve already found out the trade-in price for my 5th Gen.)
At the moment, I’m sticking with mine - that might have been different if I’d got an iPhone with USB-C, but I’m still using lightening.
Thanks, as always.
I have been using the iPad Air for a few years now, and I absolutely love it. It's a good device to just carry around and use. I am not sure if I could ever get any smaller when it comes to a tablet, but I do have a couple friends that use the iPad mini. I also have been using the iPhone SE (2020) since it came out, and I love it. These devices just do what I need, and I am rarely on my phone anymore. Literally just for checking emails on the fly, but other than that, messaging and phone calls.
I brought the Mini, couldn’t wait any longer. The video helped
My 10.5" iPad Pro from 2017 is still holding up pretty well to this day. It has the right size for me to watch Series and play games. The Mini is still a little bit to small to keep watching for a longer time periode.
So unless this thing breaks i can just sit back and wait for the new devices to come :)
I sold my Kindle device and iPad9, and my iPad mini is just amazing as my one device for my reading and also streaming! I don’t need my larger iPad and Kindle anymore!
The mini is so good to read on.
@@julilla1 Yes, indeed. Most especially if you have the paperlike screen protector. It feels like you’re reading on a paper. Moreover, this iPad is not heavy.
You read my mind with this video! Thanks :)
Glad I could help!
There are a lot of people waiting for the iPad mini 7 myself included I want to get my wife one or maybe a mini 6 at a discounted price when the new ones come out. She’s not in a hurry she has her mini 4 so we wait.
I have both the Mini 6 and the S24Ultra both great devices! I love sketching and writing on my S24U more - it just feels better than the iPad Mini 6 with a paperfeel screen protector. I love painting on the Mini 6 only because of the iPAd only apps. Looking forward to a Mini 7 with proper File management app and screen tiling!
All pretty good points. I'm still using an iPad Mini 2, although I also have an M2 iPad Pro 11". But I'd still like a Mini 7 with an A17 Pro chip (which is in the iPhone 15 Pro), with newly designed more rounded edges to make holding it more pleasant. An OLED display with no "jelly role" would also be a plus. 😊
amazing video.. thank you...
Do you recommend a keyboard and trackpad for the iPad mini?
Best Buy has the mini 6 on sale right now brand new for $399 usd. I’m so tempted.
Waiting for Mini 7
I'm still using my ipad mini 5. Definetly, mini 6 will be my next ipad. Specially now that the new App, Delta is very well implemented in ios. I'm gonna be enjoying some good retro games.
Can’t live without mine I love it 🔥
Found one brand new on Amazon sale $350 and I’m very happy to have it with my 11 inch iPad for notetaking and consumption.
I am thinking about getting one. Really felt like you were talking to me 😂
Got my mini a few weeks back no regrets and less bulkier vs IPad Pro for daily commute
I was lucky to get my iPad Mini 6 Cellular for 50% off brand new on Amazon back in July. I think it was a price glitch as the price only appeared for a few minutes and then shot back up after I purchased it.
Amazon is definitely worth looking at as you can occasionally see steep discounts. I kept it in the basket and kept looking daily to see if the price dropped.
The iPad Mini 7 is supposed to only be a minor upgrade, with mainly only the chip getting an upgrade but it'll look identical and will have the same LCD screen. So I don't see why it's worth waiting for. I love the iPad mini 6 and won't upgrade until they eventually bring OLED to the iPad mini which is rumored to be in 2026. The iPad is the only thing in my house that is still had LCD screens and that's the only irritating thing about it
Not only can one get good prices at Amazon, but if you buy it refurbished, you can always return it within 90 days! 👍
I actually just got one last week. This is another great product that becomes mostly unnoticed from being named in the vein of something small or basic like "SE" or "mini". Apple needs to find a way to market the SE devices having an older body with a newer chip and mini devices as nearly as good as the pro, just in a small package.
This video comes at exactly the right time for me. I‘m thinking about buying an iPad mini since the last days.
I‘m still struggling between the mini and the Air 5 due to longevity. Do you think the Air will get 1-2 years longer updates due to M1 chip? The bigger size wouldn’t bother me.
Thank you for this nice entertaining video!
Thanks for the lovely comment!
6:54 😁😁loved it . 👏🏻
Love the mini..but would love to have Face ID instead of the finger print reader, want 128gb base storage, oh and 120hz screen please.
How do you like having a Samsung and an apple product? Isn’t it a bit hard to sync things from phone to tablet, etc.? I am debating getting a Samsung tablet vs the mini 6 as I have a s22+ currently.
IMO, Apple made a mistake discontinuing the iphone mini. I LOVE mine and have no intention of upgrading any time soon. My first ipad will be the mini, so I appreciate you insights and recommendation.
I have the iPad mini 6 and I swear it is one of my favorite iPads, It gets the most use. It does everything I need. It’s super portable. I also own a 12.9 inch and an 11 inch both of those are pros, I really don’t need a role model but I love them anyway. The iPad mini 6 is just so easy to throw in a bag or throw in your purse and use it on the go. I just can’t say good things about this awesome iPad.
Watching on my iPad Mini 😊So happy 😁
Nice!!
Good video, but already own one. As you say, a Magic Keyboard would be great, but if needed I have a Microsoft universal folding one that is OK and pair that with an old magic Mouse. I have a Logitech pen that was about £50, far cheaper than the Apple Pencil. I tried Paperlike and didn't get on with it, but love the concept.
I would get a refurbished or used 11in iPad Pro from 2018-2021 since prices are cut nearly half of their retail price
It’s funny I apparently do things backwards a I bought the iPad mini then minutes later came here for a review lol. I love the size and if I could get an iPhone this size I’d love it
This is an excellent video. However, for the same reasons that, I picked-up a basic iPad 9th generation and passed on the more modern looking 10th generation version. Here, I would also select the much older iPad mini 5th generation with 256GB and the cell data option and even more so If, I was just getting it manly to be a note taking device (smile...smile).
I can’t live without mine I love it 🔥
Am genuinely interested… what ‘other refurb’ sites do you, or other subscribers/followers, recommend?
Thinking about getting one for son!
TCL NXT Paper Tablet?
I’m not waiting; my Mothers’ Day present is the Mini6!!! Going through AT&T, paying over 3 years; I’ll be fine.
I love my iPad mini 6 the best iPad I have owned. Even if a new iPad mini is released later this year I won’t be upgrading.
Gave my Mini 6 to a pal who can use it more. I have an Air 4 256g w/cellular that works just fine. I bought the mini as I thought I'd use it more than my Air 4. Nope. He can put it to use so off it went! It's a cute little device though.
I’m looking at the iPad mini 6 again.ive bought and return at least 3-4 times. I still wanna buy the mini 6 because i do love the portability. My goal is to find it thee absolutely the cheapest price. I still would love a mini with a 120hz screen and it would be perfect
I was about to get the mini 6 last March. But Samsung price cuts and discounts were too tempting and I ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ instead. I was surprised that I could do things more in it than in my iPads.
I find any iPad bad for note taking because you can’t rest your hand on the screen without triggering something. Also it doesn’t feel like writing…
Getting one Tuesday 🥺
When I got an iPad, I bought the IPad 9th Gen for notetaking back when it was new and honestly, I do not regret that decision at all. But I will also admit, I didn’t know much about the iPad mini when I first got my 9th gen. Sometimes I wonder if I would have gone for it had I known about it. Maybe. The only thing I think I’d have been skeptical about is if it would have worked as a notetaking tool for me… because my hands are rather large and I have heard some complaints since I got my 9th gen about the Mini being a more cramped experience by nature of it being a smaller screen… mostly by people with bigger hands. That being said… I won’t pretend like I haven’t been curious about the iPad mini… but since I already take my 9th gen everywhere easily enough and enjoy taking notes on the 9th gen… would it even be worth it to even buy a secondary iPad to do the same sort of thing? Idk. But I think if someone hasn’t already gotten an iPad, the mini is a great way to go unless you are specifically looking for a budget option with a bigger screen… than the 9th gen has more value than the 10 gen, despite having an older chip set I’d think.
Could not agree with you more the iPad six is legendary. I love the fridge camera. Do you just have a camera in there in case one day you open it for a video?
It never leaves the fridge. Just in case.
The iPad Mini, at least for me, is the most iPad of iPads. It does what Steve Jobs said was its purpose as a middle device whereas the bigger ones can be pushed into service as a laptop replacement. I love it. BUT the bugs annoy me, specifically the keyboard one which I’ve had since day one. I’m not sure it is just the mini or every iPad, but if you split the keyboard it tends to migrate up the screen. I have to split in portrait mode and go to landscape mode to get it to stick to the bottom and that doesn’t work every time, or even most of the time. But it’s a mere annoyance rather than a deal breaker.
Is 64gb enough?? I feel like no but since I have a MBP & iPad Pro…I am fine with 64GB. Found one for $300 with cellular
I traded mine into Apple yesterday. I probably would have kept it but I only had the 64gb version and was limited.
Only Bluetooth 5.0 is supported which does not include support for BLE audio. WiFi 6 and not WiFi 6e is supported. There is also a jelly scrolling effect which supposedly be addressed in the next version.
@MarkEllisReviews We will see what is going to be on wwdc24 on June.
Apple raised the prices on these, Seeing a 256gb wifi only version for £749 on most sites you used to be able to buy the 256gb with cellular for that, Is it really worth paying all that money for am older device now?
In December 2023, I purchased the iPad mini 6. My existing tablet, an 11-inch iPad Pro from 2018, proved to be too cumbersome for daily transport. Ideally, I would have preferred to hold out for the iPad mini 7, but patience isn't always my strong suit. Ultimately, I'm content with my decision and find myself in complete agreement with your observations.
You make a good point on that mini phone. Rumor has it that the next SE phone will be the iPhone 10. Moving from the fabulously small iPhone 8 ( 4.7 in. ) to a bigger 6.1 inch display. People seem to like larger devices. Hopefully, that won’t happen to the iPad, but you never know 🤔
I mean, almost everyone I know with one (myself included) loves it!
I love iPad mini 6. but its storage capacity is so limited for my work load. I wish iPad mini 6 soon to be upgraded!
It’s crazy but I own one but at the same time I kind of want another one to get a cellular version and to get one w a new battery
Wow, here in the US it is $500 for the 64 and 650 for the 256, goes up another, 150 to $800 for the cellular/GPS version. And it does go on sale. I waited and final bought my in September because I gave up on waiting for the new one to come out. I got mine for $629 w/256gb and w/cell/GPS, not a refurb.
Waiting for my mini 6 to arrive. My first apple device, ever. Hope it's worth it. Still cost me 3k of my currency 😂
Oh Really? so what do you suggest 64gb or 256gb? I wanna switch my iPad Pro 11" to iPad Mini 6...I don't use it as much since I got the MacBook Pro M3.
I am gonna wait until the WWDC 2024 to see and if there's truly no iPad mini 6, then I am switching. 😃
What about an iPad Mini Pro with OLD - that’s what I’d like.
Right around the 6:45 mark. You’ve just described me.
Lol! Same. I have been doing this for a whole year. I made a mistake of believing the "rumors" of ipad mini 7 on youtube. I can believe I wasted so much time. Finally bought it 5 days ago. All these rumors of pro chip in mini 7 are bullshit, there is no way Apple will be putting pro motion and A17pro chip in mini. Price will be higher than ipad air. I just gave up.
I wish paperlite protector was available on Amaxon India.
Still have my original iPad mini. Works well, except that it cannot be updated! But I do love the old games it has on it like flappy bird and Zuma’s revenge 😬
ouf of the blue I just bought the 256GB mini for 540€ new ... also have the M1 12.9" ... so one of them will be the at home iPad ... too bad there's still no possibility of user switching on iPadOS
I’ve owned the mini 6 since it came out. Also have iPad Air. Waiting for the mini 7. Will sell the air and just have two minis. That’s how much I love the mini. Oh and yes my current phone is the 13 mini. Not upgrading until it falls apart 😂
I think there is a new one coming on May 7... If I cracked the code correctly, in the animation with the pencil you can read Mini
I got mine 3 weeks ago on bay for 179£ and it’s immaculate shop around they sell for cheap
