I am using the iPhone 13 mini with an iPad mini 5. Previously I had used a first gen iPhone SE with an iPad mini 2. The combination works well enough for me that I have stuck with it through multiple generations of the products. Away from the home I love the small size of the mini iPhone. For my usage the battery lasts multiple days. Around home for videos and reading the iPad mini is a perfect size.
iPhone 13 mini + iPad Mini = best combo. I've always hated big smartphones (I was a SE 2016 user before) and I'm fascinated to see that all the tech sites are currently « discovering » the positive sides of the ipad mini (here the 6, but everything was already true with the 5 and earlier models).
I went to an iPhone 12 mini and iPad, love the combination. The iPhone is so easy to carry in a pocket or workout shorts without being too heavy. I am sad the mini phone is going away.
Since I got the 14 Max i sold my Mini. The are just too similar for me personally. I wasnt using the Mini anymore because I felt it had the (almost) same size as the Max.
My iPad mini replaced my phone as my primary device, and my phone became much less necessary. But, watch out when you reach your 40’s, when you need a bigger phone screen just to get by😊. Agree, looking forward to updates for the iPad mini - refresh rate, M1 or M2, ProMotion, etc
There are two major points in favor of the iPad Mini that weren’t made in this video: 1.) As an iPad, it has access to iPad apps the iPhone doesn’t have access to, while having access to every iPhone app. For instance, I can’t play Divinity Original Sin II with an iPhone 14 Pro Max, but I can on the iPad Mini. 2.) Split View/Slide Over. While it could certainly work on the max sized iPhones, apple only allows iPads to use these multitasking functions. Having two or more apps on screen can be very convenient when needed.
The iPad mini is still necessary despite the iPhone Plus and iPhone Pro Max existing. If we ignore the cameras and ProMotion for a minute, the iPad mini still does a bit more compared to the iPhone. While the iPhone 15 Pro Max sounds promising since it will be getting USB-C, I still cannot see it replacing the iPad mini until Apple adds Split-View and Apple Pencil support.
I totally love my iPhone 11 and my iPad mini 6 combination, I know my iPhone has a old CPU however, with the iPad mini six, its got a very powerful A15 processor which is still really very up-to-date and very fast and snappy. I use my iPad most of the time when I am at home and I really have no problems using it and I much prefer using the iPad at home because it's got a bigger screen and it's perfect for watching content and social media. I feel like I don't have to upgrade to the latest iPhone yet because I don't have any problems with the performance. I've got a very fast small tablet that I can use when I'm at home and the iPhone 11 still doesn't feel slow and the cameras are still really good yeah . I love my iPad mini six very much. This is one of the most underrated Apple devices and I think this is one of my best purchase yet. cheers
Definitely the larger iPhone for me. But my ideal device would be a 7.5” iphone w/ Apple Pencil support and split screen. The iPad Mini is just too wide to fit in my pocket, can’t be charged wirelessly in my car, and doesn’t receive non-FaceTime phone calls via cellular.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and an iPad Mini 6. To be honest, I love both devices and don’t have an issue with the portability factor for the Pro Max phone. But I do find as I get older, I need the bigger screen for reading emails and even iMessages on the go. Having my iPad Mini is awesome for viewing content and do use it a lot on the go. I also have 3 kids. They get our hand me down devices, ie old phones, but sometimes I want to share something with them when we are out and about. The iPad Mini is perfect for that and it is still way more portable than other iPads. And at night, it is perfect for my ebook reading and catching up on news when I first wake up in the morning. Not sure I would downgrade to a smaller phone on the next upgrade cycle in a year or two, but will definitely want to see the iPad Mini continue and be upgraded.
I can’t agree with this more. If they made a 14 pro mini, as I like the camera, it would be a perfect combo. If the iPad mini had Face ID it would also be perfect.
I totally agree with you. The only reason I got iPhone 15 Pro Max is because it has a better camera, battery and more storage, but normally I would choose a regular sized phone. Sometimes I even miss my 13 because of how comfortable to hold it was compared to Max. When it comes to iPad I currently have 9th generation one as its bigger screen is great for multitasking at uni. Next time, when I finish my studies, iPhone Pro and iPad Mini sound like a great combo to me.
Good video. I just don’t like carrying around that many devices. I have an iPhone Pro Max, and an iPad Pro 12.9”. I always have my iPhone on me, and feel it’s big enough for during the day. When I do want to watch a movie not on my TV, I’ll use the iPad Pro. I also use the iPad for note taking in meetings, etc. I need the larger iPad, and just can’t imaging having 3 devices instead of 2. But each of us is different.
Thats my setup but instead of a mac mini an ipad 12.9 m1 1tb (16gb of ram) cellular. Just traded it for my m1 mba 8gb 256gb for only 70 dollar upgrade price
I completely considered your suggested set up with a 14 Pro and a mini…but the 120Hz refresh rate is sooo smooth. Almost jarring when switching between devices. If the Mini had 120Hz I’d do it!
To be honest, since the days of my Windows CE HTC Wizard, I longed for a “phone” in tablet form. And I don’t think I was alone given how large phones have since become. But give me an iPad Mini with cellular capabilities so I can use a headset with it. I mean the tech is there in software and hardware on a cellular iPad, it just needs to be enabled. That would be the killer app for me. Let me buy an iPad Pro for work and let it also be my cell for work. Etc.
They either need to make the screen bigger and reduce the bezel (keeping the same form factor) or keep the same screen size and reduce the bezel (thus reducing the form factor). I’d prefer the second option along with the display being OLED to save power. But regardless both options would be welcome as long as the screen was OLED.
I'm an iPhone Mini + iPad mini person. My larger phone pulled my pants down when running around after a little kid outside. I also had a couple pairs of pants where I could not bend my leg if the large phone was in the front pocket. At home I can leave my phone next to my keys. Between my watch, computer, and iPad I'm always able to check messages or send emails. When it's time to sit back and play a game or watch a show, my iPad is ready.
I been on this since 2019 with the iPad Mini 5 and iPhone XR, now I carry a 14 Pro but I use a iPad Mini 6 more than any device including my laptop or my much larger iPads. I agree the Mini 6 is the perfect size for most use cases
Looooove how I was recommended this video, I’ve been thinking about this lately! I agree with allllll your points and would add that two devices means more security and reliability as you have a back up device in case anything happens. If you only have one device, you rely too heavily on it. Having said that, and having an iPhone 13 pro + an iPad mini, there’s just something sooo attractive abt those pro max phones…. 😍 my hands would haaate me tho if I got one instead of a regular pro 😅
As a first time Apple user, I bought an I pad mini off e bay, then with the money I saved bought the SE3, which gave me enough change to buy an Apple watch!
I considered a max iPhone, but it is just too big and heavy to got a normal Pro iPhone. I have a Pro iPad too though but I think a Mini iPad and standard size iPhone is a great combo too.
All I know is I really want Face ID on the mini. Maybe a Mini pro? After all the years of Face ID on my phones and iPad pros, I can’t stand having Touch ID anymore. Other than that I love it.
Watching this on iPad Mini 5 while iPhone 11 Pro Is charging outside the room, after a long work day. Thanks to u, now it’s confirmed that i wont buy a plus-sized iPhone. My small hand gets tired easily.
Buying 2 devices is more expensive initially, but the iPad lasts much longer than the iPhone. I’m still using the iPad mini 5, and skipped the 6 waiting for the 7 I don’t game though. I used to upgrade every generation until the 13 pro, because none of the newer features are must buts lately. When Apple intelligence becomes available, I’m probably gonna upgrade to mini 8 and keep the 13 pro for another year, because the 16 pro still isn’t that appealing to me. I meant I’m already shooting 4k60 with the 13 pro, the camera upgrade ain’t enough (I like to use apsc camera btw, so the phone camera just don’t cut it in many scenarios, and 13 pro has hit a plateau in phone camera IMO, until something amazing comes along.
I have the 14 Plus and I like I have to say that the bigger screen size was my sole reason for getting this phone. I’ll admit I should’ve listened to my friends and went with the pro max. Thing is I have an iPad Air and it’s processor is so super slow. Considering this iPad mini which I only want to watch movies and yt while playing mindless games on my iPhone.
Love my combo of iphone 13 mini green 512g, ipad mini 6 cellular 256gb pink, and ipad m1 12.9 cellular 1tb silver . Only thing missing is an Apple Watch Ultra. I barely ever touch the 13 mini unless its to put my sim in to use my main sim cards phone number. Once I can pair the AWU the iphone 13 mini will just sit in a drawer
I've always preferred small iPhones, SE 2016 when everyone was buying 6/7/8 Plus, and 13 mini a year ago. I've always bought them in a top version because they last me at least 4 years. I bought an iPad mini 5 top version with the new year, never made a better purchase. The 13 mini only turns on when I use it with the Apple Watch set up, otherwise I use the previous Watches with the SE 16. For the rest I use the iPad mini, the last one with the screen not 16:9, I chose the 5 for this very reason. I use it more than the 12-inch MacBooks, bought precisely because they are the most transportable of Macs. I don't know how people can carry around 250 grams of 13” phone or iPad with the excuse that they see each other better: they all look bad, if you want to enjoy a movie you have to use at least a 40”. Once Ive (not Apple) made reasoned products, but not suitable for the mainstream, and they fired it, now if you want a normal iPhone or a normal MacBook they don't exist, you have to buy a big 14 or a heavy Air, or maybe an iPad Pro, which is as useless as a job as an iPad mini but costs twice as a 12” MacBook, which The solution of those who buy it? Pretend macOS on iPad. Apple is right to make fun of them by selling junk at three times the price it's worth, because when Apple made the right products they just had to complain about. So that they pay and remain dissatisfied.
I just looked it up, and the weight difference between the iPad Mini 6 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max is around 45 grams. 240 grams vs 293-297 grams. I'd have assumed the difference would be a bit larger.
Wow! That's exactly what I did you are spot on. I always had the plus or max size iPhones for mobile presentations, however last year I got the iPad mini 6, and the iPhone 14 Pro. So I have a bigger screen for on the go presentations therefore no need for a larger iPhone. Thanks
I have an iPad 12.9 “ which I never used as a tablet because it’s just so big and heavy, instead it replaced my MacBook Pro! Now I need an iPad mini!!!!! Waiting on the new ones to come out so I can finally use my Apple Pencil to write comfortably! Lol
This time last year, I went from the iPhone 7 to the XS, while my kids went from the X to the 13 Pro. I'm really not a fan of the weight of their phone. I'll probably stay with XS until Apple stops giving it the latest iOS, at which point I'm seriously considering swapping to a 13 Mini. It'll probably be 2nd hand, but I really can't see Apple reintroducing a Mini - unless the next SE uses the discontinued size. At the same time, I’ll still have my iPad Mini 5th Gen so, as you say, will have the best of both worlds. Thanks for the video!
Thank You sharing the comparison between iPhone Pro Max and IPad Mini , enjoyed watching and learning . In my opinion the challenge that yet needs to be addressed is the portability of IPad Mini vs the screen space as a scribbler for iPad Pro Max . My vision is for portability and functionality within the Apple family of products , is an iWatch for basic needs of connectivity and iPad for daily needs of computing ON THE GO . If ever an upgrade ever where the iPad mini syncs with iWatch would address all in one combination of devices for those who want a solution for ON the GO access to digital world
I really need to know what the 4 in 1 charger is that you have in black there, shown at 3m23s. That would be perfect for me but I cannot find one!!! And this convinced me to get the ear halo lock car charger, thank you!!!
Totally agree. I'm rocking a 14 pro (to which I upgraded from a 13 mini mostly for the satellite SOS cuz I spend good amount of time in backwoods MT. Sad to leave mini form factor behind). Then I have base model iPad mini 6. Love it for all reasons mentioned in vid. Then I just upgraded to a Mac Mini M2 pro for home computer. Plenty of power for anything I need computer-wise. And to top it all off, I have an older 2017 iPad Pro whose battery is pretty shot. So that lives either docked in my kitchen for watching vids while cooking, recipes, etc, or plugged up to my Mac Mini as a second (3rd actually) screen for work. It's all a little excessive, I know, but all use cases more than covered.
I have iPhone pro max 13 and iPad Pro 12.9 i picked up the ipad mini for travelling but ended up selling it, going from 12.9 screen to iPad mini was a bad experience if you are used to promotion its a hard move. When i travel i just get by on the iPhone pro max. If they pimped the screen on the mini and also things like the icon layout to make use of the full space i would consider giving it another shot as the size is handy…if the iPhone mini had macro camera i would have given that a shot too always seems to be compromises
I recently got a stunning purple iPad mini for my birthday right before changing my iPhone XR with an iPhone 15 once it comes out. Thing is, I have also been tempted to get the 13 mini instead for a few months because of its great portability. Now that I have an iPad Mini should I stick to the 13 mini, save a bunch of money and use videos on the iPad? I watch videos a lot on my iPhone but it is mostly at home anyways
I use a 12 pro max with a iPad Air 5. I think using a big phone with a 11 inch iPad is the way to go. The mini is pointless especially without external monitor support
I like the iPad mini, but I LOVE my iPad Pro 12.9. I wont give up my iPad Pro, but considered adding the mini. However I like being signed in to all my work apps on all my devices, and i am already at my max with the iPhone and iPad I already have. I would miss out on work notifications, work email, etc if I was using my mini instead of the iPad Pro.
For iPad I prefer the entry level. The Mini is too small. For my next iPhone, I’ll get the max size for a bigger screen when I’m in the community & can’t use an iPad.
This is what Steve Jobs first intended when he released the first iPhone and the first iPad they both have a purpose and to be used as such great video!
Main issue is apple’s reluctance and software management. Let me explain: if you buy the iPad mini it’s slow compared to iPhone pro and then with every software they get even slower so that’s a big bummer, second the discrepancies with regards to chip speed and ram and other components is pre existing. So it’s not a viable solution but a desirable one. In the interests of reducing bio e waste and also better options I think it would be prudent for Apple to rejig the product line up to only offer 2 storage sizes. 512 and 1 TB for all devices. And also have same 2 chips only. Like for example remove A chips entirely and move all products to m1 and m2 . If they claim that they care about the environment then they need to stop thinking about bumper profits and contribute more towards a leaner line up which works for all .
Hi there! Wondering if you think i should wait for the ipad mini 7 or get the 6 this Black Friday. I have an iphone 12 mini. I want a ipad mini to do 90% of my media consumption/calendar/productivity app etc. pretty basic usage. What are your thoughts :) Thanks in advance
I’m using a 12 mini and 6th gen ipad mini and came here thinking I could upgrade my phone to a plus size and sell off my mini and ipad 😂 guess i’m sticking to what I have!
I love the idea but I like having the camera of the pro max.. also there are several apps on my phone that I can’t easily access from my tablet without doing 2step verification. I have a mini, iPhone and iPad plus pro max..
IPad mini is kid's product. Too small for any optimal productivity task such as writing on it or using it as a laptop with magic keyboard etc. It's only for entertainment and is already pointless of you either have a big phone or a full sized iPad already.
no watsapp on the ipad. The ipad is ok aroud a wifi or home, but for talking to people, that most of the people do every hour of the day... the larger phone makes more sense. i have a 12 pro.
I had an iPad mini 6 and here’s my take: screen is small, speakers aren’t that great, battery life isn’t great and Touch ID is in a weird spot especially when using it in landscape mode. Once you go Pro there’s no going back.

Once Ive (not Apple) made reasoned products, but not suitable for the mainstream, and they fired it, now if you want a normal iPhone or a normal MacBook they don't exist, you have to buy a big 14 or a heavy Air, or maybe an iPad Pro, which is as useless as a job as an iPad mini but costs twice as a 12” MacBook, which The solution of those who buy it? Pretend macOS on iPad. Apple is right to make fun of them by selling junk at three times the price it's worth, because when Apple made the right products they just had to complain about. So that they pay and remain dissatisfied.
I just looked it up, and the weight difference between the iPad Mini 6 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max is around 45 grams. 240 grams vs 293-297 grams.
I'd have assumed the difference would be a bit larger.
Wow! That's exactly what I did you are spot on. I always had the plus or max size iPhones for mobile presentations, however last year I got the iPad mini 6, and the iPhone 14 Pro. So I have a bigger screen for on the go presentations therefore no need for a larger iPhone. Thanks
I already have the gen 5 iPad Air and bought the iPhone 13 PM. Would tell people to opt for the smaller iPhone 13 Pro.
I have an iPad 12.9 “ which I never used as a tablet because it’s just so big and heavy, instead it replaced my MacBook Pro! Now I need an iPad mini!!!!! Waiting on the new ones to come out so I can finally use my Apple Pencil to write comfortably! Lol
This time last year, I went from the iPhone 7 to the XS, while my kids went from the X to the 13 Pro. I'm really not a fan of the weight of their phone.
I'll probably stay with XS until Apple stops giving it the latest iOS, at which point I'm seriously considering swapping to a 13 Mini. It'll probably be 2nd hand, but I really can't see Apple reintroducing a Mini - unless the next SE uses the discontinued size. At the same time, I’ll still have my iPad Mini 5th Gen so, as you say, will have the best of both worlds.
Thanks for the video!
Thank You sharing the comparison between iPhone Pro Max and IPad Mini , enjoyed watching and learning . In my opinion the challenge that yet needs to be addressed is the portability of IPad Mini vs the screen space as a scribbler for iPad Pro Max . My vision is for portability and functionality within the Apple family of products , is an iWatch for basic needs of connectivity and iPad for daily needs of computing ON THE GO . If ever an upgrade ever where the iPad mini syncs with iWatch would address all in one combination of devices for those who want a solution for ON the GO access to digital world
The 14 pro max is still small compared to my old s22 ultra. I think I might get an iPad too.
iPad value would go up if used with a feature phone.
I really need to know what the 4 in 1 charger is that you have in black there, shown at 3m23s. That would be perfect for me but I cannot find one!!! And this convinced me to get the ear halo lock car charger, thank you!!!
Totally agree. I'm rocking a 14 pro (to which I upgraded from a 13 mini mostly for the satellite SOS cuz I spend good amount of time in backwoods MT. Sad to leave mini form factor behind). Then I have base model iPad mini 6. Love it for all reasons mentioned in vid. Then I just upgraded to a Mac Mini M2 pro for home computer. Plenty of power for anything I need computer-wise. And to top it all off, I have an older 2017 iPad Pro whose battery is pretty shot. So that lives either docked in my kitchen for watching vids while cooking, recipes, etc, or plugged up to my Mac Mini as a second (3rd actually) screen for work. It's all a little excessive, I know, but all use cases more than covered.
I have iPhone pro max 13 and iPad Pro 12.9 i picked up the ipad mini for travelling but ended up selling it, going from 12.9 screen to iPad mini was a bad experience if you are used to promotion its a hard move. When i travel i just get by on the iPhone pro max. If they pimped the screen on the mini and also things like the icon layout to make use of the full space i would consider giving it another shot as the size is handy…if the iPhone mini had macro camera i would have given that a shot too always seems to be compromises
I wish Apple would put the phone dialer in the iPad mini. Or come out with an iPhone that is the size of an iPad mini.
I recently got a stunning purple iPad mini for my birthday right before changing my iPhone XR with an iPhone 15 once it comes out. Thing is, I have also been tempted to get the 13 mini instead for a few months because of its great portability. Now that I have an iPad Mini should I stick to the 13 mini, save a bunch of money and use videos on the iPad? I watch videos a lot on my iPhone but it is mostly at home anyways
I use a 12 pro max with a iPad Air 5. I think using a big phone with a 11 inch iPad is the way to go. The mini is pointless especially without external monitor support
I like the iPad mini, but I LOVE my iPad Pro 12.9. I wont give up my iPad Pro, but considered adding the mini. However I like being signed in to all my work apps on all my devices, and i am already at my max with the iPhone and iPad I already have. I would miss out on work notifications, work email, etc if I was using my mini instead of the iPad Pro.
I would totally get a smaller cheaper I-phone and get a new I-pad Mini Cellular.
For iPad I prefer the entry level. The Mini is too small.
For my next iPhone, I’ll get the max size for a bigger screen when I’m in the community & can’t use an iPad.
Do you find that the 64g is big enough?
@@kevinteel311 ; My 9th gen iPad has 256g.
But I’ve only used 50g on it so far.
I wish to see iPad mini Pro, I’d pay for it
This is what Steve Jobs first intended when he released the first iPhone and the first iPad they both have a purpose and to be used as such great video!
Do people not have backpacks anymore? Normal iPad is very portable and lightweight without taking up much room at all.
Main issue is apple’s reluctance and software management. Let me explain: if you buy the iPad mini it’s slow compared to iPhone pro and then with every software they get even slower so that’s a big bummer, second the discrepancies with regards to chip speed and ram and other components is pre existing. So it’s not a viable solution but a desirable one.
In the interests of reducing bio e waste and also better options I think it would be prudent for Apple to rejig the product line up to only offer 2 storage sizes. 512 and 1 TB for all devices. And also have same 2 chips only. Like for example remove A chips entirely and move all products to m1 and m2 .
If they claim that they care about the environment then they need to stop thinking about bumper profits and contribute more towards a leaner line up which works for all .
I have the iPhone pro max as well as a mini iPad. Love both of them,
Do you ever wish you had a smaller iPhone?
@@AppleInsider no, I had the 12 mini for two years and totally enjoyed using it but I was ready for a max again, as I’d had them in the past.
i’m keeping my 13 pro max another year or till they totally changed the design
The 16 pro MaX is a Bit change compared To the 13 Pro Max
But the cameras are not as good and powerful like the plus phones. Right?
you have it all figured out right!
Possible to live with an old flip phone and a mini iPad?
The touch ID on the I PAD Mini is so annoying !!!!!
I got the 14 pro and iPad 10. And I love the combo
I’m surprised Apple hasn’t come up with an iPad Pro Mini as a new way to price gouge.
well u can't use apple watch with ipad
Hi there! Wondering if you think i should wait for the ipad mini 7 or get the 6 this Black Friday. I have an iphone 12 mini. I want a ipad mini to do 90% of my media consumption/calendar/productivity app etc. pretty basic usage. What are your thoughts :)
Thanks in advance
You’re perfectly right
I’m rocking a iPhone 13 mini and a iPad mini 6
I feel the max and plus size phone are normal sized and the other models as tiny baby phones
whats a sleeper device
lels ipad mini coupled with decent mid range android phone is the better combination, you'll have all the mobile ecosystems covered ^_^
I’m using a 12 mini and 6th gen ipad mini and came here thinking I could upgrade my phone to a plus size and sell off my mini and ipad 😂 guess i’m sticking to what I have!
Question, would you still recommend this one if we primarily use it to read comics? Is it still legible?
I go for the Pro Max and a iPad mini.
I am really hoping that the iPhone ultra is 6.97 inches display up from the 6.7 inches
I love the idea but I like having the camera of the pro max.. also there are several apps on my phone that I can’t easily access from my tablet without doing 2step verification. I have a mini, iPhone and iPad plus pro max..
I need a device where i can read my manga. Thanks for this. im looking to upgrade to iphone 15 plus but ipad mini is waaaaaayyyy cheaper
Camera. Camera is the biggest reason for getting the bigger phones.
14 pro camera is the exact same as the 14 pro max. Same with the 13 Pro
i have a samsung phone and a predator laptop, currently torn between getting the ipad 10 or iphone 13? i need help!!
I wish apple had folding devices
One day when they don’t suck I’m sure they will! I can’t stand that constant crease!
So what type if sturdy case should I get for the ipad mini? I work as a healthcare worker always on the run
I wish the mini had an oled
What can iPhone do that iPad cannot
IPad mini is kid's product. Too small for any optimal productivity task such as writing on it or using it as a laptop with magic keyboard etc. It's only for entertainment and is already pointless of you either have a big phone or a full sized iPad already.
The clear solution is to just get both. iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPad mini. 6
Only pro models ❤if you reqired a maximum screen onn time then go for 13pm not 14pm but only pro series 14 plus is also good but not in camera
whats name the game you played?
no watsapp on the ipad. The ipad is ok aroud a wifi or home, but for talking to people, that most of the people do every hour of the day... the larger phone makes more sense. i have a 12 pro.
What was that stand that you was using?
Tell us about iPhone vs iPad mini
Get to the point
Totally agree
Is the audio stereo?
Your phone is way too big. I'm rocking the last iPhone mini (13) and the iPad mini. ;)
Go mini
I wouldn't call that screen gorgeous.
I had an iPad mini 6 and here’s my take: screen is small, speakers aren’t that great, battery life isn’t great and Touch ID is in a weird spot especially when using it in landscape mode. Once you go Pro there’s no going back.
I don't know what your talking about... the Mini 6 has great battery life.
@@markaznar1979 Not compared to my iPad Pro. What are you comparing it to? It’s definitely not great.
@@garyjustgary5059 to an air
Or you can just get both lol I have an iPad mini and iPad Pro 11. I use both and love both.
@@shanghaichica I have both that’s how I know. I’d like the mini more if it had 4 speakers, a higher refresh rate display and Face ID.
You OK Andrew? You look like you have 2 black eyes. Hope all is well. Keep up the great work with your videos
My solution: I own the 14 pro max, 12 mini and iPad mini lol
