    Have been using the moft ring and stand together with the folio cover for a few months on my mini 6 at this point now, they work perfectly fine! Of course if you have the folio cover on, the stand/wallet will not work, but the ring itself doesn't affect the cover at all, except for leaving a ring mark on the inside of the back of the cover

      Awesome! That’s great to hear! I keep meaning to get one, I just haven’t decided which brand to go with yet. I’m thinking either ESR or Pitaka, I don’t think I want the official Apple Folio. Thanks for sharing!

      Thanks for sharing about this! Personally I don’t see that at all and haven’t noticed a lot more eye strain with the 11” M4 iPad Pro, but that is great info for anyone who might have that sensitivity and good to see a win for the iPad Mini screen compared to the Pro’s!

    I'm using it to edit videos for a client. It's portable. Fast enough to run final cut pro, capcut pro and adobe lightroom.

      Thanks for sharing! And yes I completely agree! I’m not sure what went wrong on this video, it didn’t look that way in my editing app and I published it a little too quickly to notice in time! It’s already fixed in the next video I’m working on though!

    What is the best case to use with a magic keyboard for the iPad Mini 7?

    • @Graf-XTechReviews
      @Graf-XTechReviews  หลายเดือนก่อน

      You’re saying just like the external Bluetooth Magic Keyboard ⌨️ that Apple sells? It’s hard to say what the best case would be for that. I like the MOFT float folio which can give it some height and make the iPad closer to eye level. Otherwise any case that has a stand works for it and you can always get an additional stand with it as well

    Would buy one if I have the 13 inch iPad Pro. But with the 11 I have no need. It can do it all.

    • @Graf-XTechReviews
      @Graf-XTechReviews  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah that’s why I said that it was definitely not an essential device, so I totally get that. Honestly if I didn’t have this channel, I probably wouldn’t have both either, thanks for sharing!

    Great video! I subscribed right away. I wonder if you could share your opinion on the following: I bought the iPad Air M1 on discount in September as a work accessory (emails, Zoom, reminders). Another reason was to prepare for Apple Intelligence. I love this iPad; however, I’ve been considering buying the iPad Mini 6 on discount for portability and handling minor tasks like setting reminders on the go and replying to some emails. I visited the Apple Store, held the iPad Mini, and enjoyed typing on it, just as you did in this video.
    My initial thought was to get the Mini 6 and let my iPad Air M1 handle the “heavy lifting” when needed. But I have to admit, typing reminders through Siri on my Mac M1 makes things so convenient. The same goes for reminders I’ve typed on my iPad Air through Apple Intelligence. Because of this, I’m now considering buying for the Mini 7 instead. Would this be an overkill, having the iPad Air M1 + iPad mini 7?
    What’s your opinion on this, if any? Thank you in advance!

    • @Graf-XTechReviews
      @Graf-XTechReviews  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I mean is it overkill as in do you need the Mini 7, no, I don’t think you do. But, you may just find that it’s worth the extra cost for the extra function for you as well. I think you have a similar scenario to mine where this Mini isn’t essential to you, but it’s a great convenience. I’d definitely check Amazon or Best Buy or any store doing a Black Friday sale and just see if you’re able to find the Mini 7 a little discounted as well.

      Here’s a bad joke: I was determined to give the mini 6 a try to save money. However, today Black Friday in Canada, they only discounted the mini 6 by $78 dollars lol

    Great form factor and performance and fun to use. But i find my Samsung Tab S9 more capable. Too bad there is no Android competition in this small tablet space.

      @Graf-XTechReviews  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The iPad Mini isn’t really considered a “Pro” device. It’s more of a smaller iPad Air. It is confusing though because it has the A17 Pro chip inside and supports the Apple Pencil Pro, but yeah it’s not really a Pro device

      @@reverend_wintondupree yeah I don’t think we’ll see it on the Mini until we see it on the iPad Air. They seem to be basically upgraded in parallel with each other. So I think if we see it come to an iPad Air, then it’ll come to the mini on its next upgrade

    Saying the best use case is to make it the sandbox for your laptop is actually giving it a pretty crappy review.

    • @Graf-XTechReviews
      @Graf-XTechReviews  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don’t think so. I wasn’t saying that is the best use case for the device as a whole. I’m giving a review on how I use the device. I think it’s best function is a compact, portable content consumption device that has some pretty good note taking functionality and great integration in the Apple ecosystem. However, if you have another iPad, then a lot of those functions are basically the same between them. Which is why I love my iPad Mini, but with an 11” iPad Pro, I just can’t say it’s essential either
