- Apple in some way issued updates to their entire iPad lineup, except for one - the iPad mini which ironically was the iPad that needed the update the most and after 970 days, almost 3 years, without any updates... should you still buy an iPad mini or wait for the next one?

I’ve had a mini since first introduction. Perfect for travel, casual games, and web out and about. I would buy a Mini Pro in heartbeat.
Same on both. Along with my Mini 6 I’ve also an iPad Pro 11” M1 (w. Magic Keyboard) and MBP 13” 2021 M1 as well as M1 iMac: in Australia we don’t really have the option to buy heavily discounted older Apple products esp. after new model introductions like you guys get in the U.S. Having said that, other than iMac my Mini 6 gets more use than all my other devices combined, bar iPhone of course. Hanging for a mini update, the screen doesn’t really bother me, not sure what all the fuss is about it only being a 60 MHz and jelly scroll - its a fantastic awesome device I use for note taking, mountain bike trail riding (with quad lock case for navigation), media consumption out of the house…. It’s the one devise I appreciated the most. It’s also the first iPad Mini I’ve owned, never saw the point before. So versatile, so handy…. I bought a purple 256 gb on the day of release in Australia for AU $1,000 with 2nd gen pencil…. I just love it, and an Apple designed / made magic style keyboard would make this the ultimate machine. No apple upgrade / spec bump in the last 3 years has tempted me to upgrade my existing machines, however, as soon as a Mini 7 is introduced I’m ordering one, just hope they have a keyboard / case option, as my Logitech Keys Mini (which is shared across all my devices) is doable, I do think what really makes the iPad is the 2nd Gen pencil and Magic Keyboard….
Same here too I now have the iPad mini 6
Ohhh mini pro.
Hurry yo ass up apple
So you don't understand both purposes of the Pro and the Mini
@@user-hx9gu5nh9p 😒The purpose of a “Pro and mini” is irrelevant to wanting Pro features in a mini size. Mini with Pro display, processing, storage, and USB-c port capabilities would nice in mini form factor if you are mobile. I often use my mini for realtime review and editing of photos from my Nikon camera on location. 11” Pro too big and comber some carry around in my camera bag.
Best iPad ever. Only an updated screen would make the mini better.
I agree with the best iPad ever. I’ll order day one when it gets refreshed. The new lineup just doesn’t make sense. Get a Mac instead of an iPad and keyboard.
Tbh screen and storage...after tht its kinda unbeatable
They're not gonna do that. That would hurt iPad Air and regular iPad sales. The mini display is technically already "better" because of PPI (pixel density). Having an OLED or ProMotion would just hurt iPad Pro sales.
Longer lasting battery as well!
I ditched my 12.9” 2020 pro for the mini. Love it
I bought a mini a few weeks ago. I’m a grad student and it’s great for note taking, reading paper, answering emails, and probably will be great for viewing slides/lecture content once the new semester begins. I’ve read more books in the last 3 weeks than I have in a year because it’s so convenient as an ereader. I took it on a plane and it’s the perfect size for traveling and is unobtrusive when viewing media in your seat.
isn't it annoying to read pdf on it since there's a lot of book in pdf form, i thought the word size would be too small
@@hatta931 honestly no, most of the time I’ll either have it zoomed in to one column or in portrait mode so it’s almost the width of a normal piece of paper. It keeps me from getting overwhelmed by the entire page sometimes actually. Most books I also download as epubs so I can change the font size.
@@hatta931it all comes down to preference. Some also dont like taking notes in mini cuz it is too small but I def love it. Same goes for reading. Though you can always zoom it.
If they did an iPad mini Pro I’d be sold so hardcore. My guess: iPad mini will become the iPad fold.
iPad Mini Pro 7 .
Foldable ipad is stupid, a foldable iPhone is smart but Apple is dumb seems like something they would do.. Being backwards.
If you want a pro buy a pro the mini should stay mini ain’t nobody paying pro prices for a tiny screen and a non m series chip
@@Sofus-fu4ro I’d pay pro prices for a mini.

I don't think Apple will update the iPad Mini this year. They definitely don't want competition for the Air and Pro models.
Or they can release it at the end of the year
ipad mini's normally use the a series chip, so my money is on Apple waiting for the iPhone event to introduce an a18 chip, and new mini alongside it
If they do though… Take my wallet!!
I think we’ll see an updated Mini this fall. Probably won’t get an M series chip, just the newest iPhone chip when the 16 is released. I think that’s likely why we didn’t see it during this iPad event that was centered around iPads with M chips. I’m waiting for the updated Mini, my favorite and the best iPad!
@@dammyayorindeAlternatively they could use either the A17 Pro or even the M1 in it as a fitting finally for these chips.
Yes, yes, yes. "It won't replace your computer,… it's a third device." This is EXACTLY why the iPad Mini is IMHO one of the best, purest expressions of the iPad concept. Small, easy to carry, beautiful to look at (that higher PPI density), fully capable (you can pair a BT keyboard, and it welcomes the Pencil 2) for when inspiration strikes you.
I bought an iPad Mini 2 "Retina display" many years ago because the screen density made it a very good handheld to read PDF eBooks on (particularly technical ones). My current Mini is still my go-to eBook reader (Hoopla Digital, Kindle, Apple Books). It also does Messages, Photos, Google Voice really well. The Mail app is perfectly at home on this cozy screen.
And you hit the nail on the head, I can edit/update my Freeform sketches, Google Keep notes, other documents, then pick up on the Macbook Air … or my Mac Mini desktop to continue. In fact, Handoff makes it super-quick to do so If I'm near both devices! With a small Bluetooth keyboard (e.g. Logitech's K380) nearby, I can truly do just about anything on the go.
I'm envious of the outgoing M1 Air (that supports Pencil 2), even more envious of the Pencil Pro,… but the fact the new Pencil Pro doesn't work with the iPad Mini has me doubling down on this superb travel buddy. It all works FINE. Others can early-adopt the new stuff as Apple works out any kinks.
Oh, BTW … I wrote this comment on my iPad Mini with the K380. HAGWE!
I’m responding on my mini. lol. It’s my computer. I do everything with this thing.
@@mrnieblas1 Same! I edit videos with Lumafusion and also used it to move all my concert footage to an SSD.
Using my mini to comment too. It is just so good as a portable device when lying down. It is big enough but not too big or too heavy
Actually it was even longer between the iPad mini 4 and 5 at 1,286 days! (Yes I fact checked cause I had remembered thinking "hey it's been almost 4 years since the iPad mini 4 came out" like right before the 5 was announced)
Your assessment is right on. I still use a Mini 2 specifically for reading books.
Currently using the 5th Gen iPad Mini, along with my iPhone 13 Mini and Apple Watch. The iPad Mini is the form factor that works for me - don’t need anything MacBook or iPad Pro sized - so I’m waiting impatiently for the new one.
Thanks for the content.
I have a Mini 6 and an iPad Pro 10.5”
I used them in different ways, I’ve ordered the new iPad Pro 11” just because my 10.5” is old.
The issue with the Mini is the new Air; for $100 more you get a far faster processor, more cores, more Ram and double the memory. So the main advantage for the mini is its size….with the iPads price reduction the mini seems over priced, they should have also reduced the mini by $50.
Totally agree. iPad mini would be much more attractive if it also received a price cut.
What do you use them both for?
@@emilsecker7881 - The iPad Pro I use at home more like a Laptop and the Mini I carry around when out and about, I’m at hospitals a lot so the Mini is easier to use then (watch film, TV or TH-cam). With it being cheaper if it was lost or damaged that’s also a consideration, but since everything syncs then everything is accessible on both devices, I just wished I bought the 256GB of memory on the Mini rather than the 64GB.
Just upgraded my iPad Air 3 to a IPad Air 13in it’s too big 😂😂😂now I need to order a mini but that $400 seems a bit steep for such a device.
@@CDubb442 - I bought the 11” iPad Pro (M4) because the 13” is to big to hold, if you’re going for the 13” IMO you’d be better off with a MacBook Air
I bought this iPad mini recently refurbished in the UK and I’m really glad that I did - excellent device that has aged well!
Waited always a year now for a new mini. After the event I went back and forth in my head. Tomorrow I’ll collect my top spec iPad mini from the store. Just couldn’t wait any longer.
Thank you Greg for your crisp and clear perspective on mini Ipad. It was very helpful, thank you.
I've had a mini 6 since they released, upgraded from a mini 5, and every one of your points is spot on. It's the perfect companion for my M3 Pro MBP 14. Will I upgrade if a mini 7 is released? Probably, but the specs will have to be impressive, and something more than fixing jelly scroll (which has never bothered me).
I priced one the other day. With 256GB storage (64GB is worthless), the Apple Pencil 2, Smart Folio cover, and 2 years of Apple Care, it came to $831.
I am tempted, NGL. But for that much money, I can’t justify buying an almost 3-year-old device with planned obsolescence when a new model is likely coming a year from now.
I had the mini since they Introduced it and it had been carrying me for school until now since I have finished school. I sometimes look back at the memories of being the mini guy and I was the only one to carry around an iPad in my oversized pocket whilst everyone else had to either stack up their iPad on their books or vice versa or had to pack their bags for each time we are moving out.
It’s the perfect one for entertainment, read emails, browse internet, watch movies. I love the size. Great for travel. An upgrade to 9” and Oled will be fantastic.
I have a 2017 iPad 10 inch I am looking to replace, but not sure if I would be happy with the smaller screen.
Love this review, really well done! I’ve been on the fence for the last few months towards pulling the trigger on the mini. Going to try to hold out for the fall to see if we get the 7 at that point🤞
Love my iPad mini, I use it so much more then when I had an air before it. It’s perfect for reading and some simple productivity. Don’t feel like I need an update either, one of the best purchases I made honestly!
I have ipad mini 6 and just can’t decide if to change. i really like it and use it for hours each day. I could just do with a bigger screen for ,y day to day notes with apple pencil in the office ….
I own one and I think I could still use this one may be for 2-3 years. This is so perfect as daily companion almost anywhere. I only use my iPhone for taking pictures, texting and video call, almost everything else generally I do more comfortably in the iPad Mini.
It holds up. If they update it. They can save cost on keeping the front facing camera in the same location, add 120hz and update to the M2
This will not happen. It will never have an M-series chip. It will have the A-series chip the iPhone 16 uses and will have a miniLED display.
@@soonerborn9073makes sense. Mini has always been positioned as a one foot in/ one foot out product .. Mini LED. M serious would give Apple an excuse to give it a longer shelf life , maintain the pricing and potentially any AI based feature that might be relegated to M….
@@soonerborn9073miniled？but air didnt get a screen up, so why they will go for miniled on mini?
I still have the iPad mini 5th generation and it’s aging well. I love the form factor and this is still good enough for me.
Advice: wait until the new iPad mini 7 comes out… then buy the iPad mini 6 for even cheaper.
Lmao nice one but when they drop a new one, they vault the previous one
LMAO, That's exactly what I do with my iPhones!
This was one of the best, most concise reviews of an Apple product I have ever watched. Said in all seriousness. Kudos, Greg!
got the mini a year ago and loving it. would definitely upgrade to a 7 once available rather than getting an air or ipad pro since it fits perfectly in my jacket pockets and bags
brilliant vid. i went thru the exact thought process and bought one 2 weeks ago. my use for an ipad is really the basic stuff. if i wanted to do something more complex i just do it on a laptop. the power of the A15 is PLENTY for basic stuff like browsing, email, youtube, netflix and basic gaming. the size is also the best imo opinion for travelling. sometimes you dont even feel that its in your bag. im not really sensitive also with the whole screen thing. as long as i can watch me tv series and movies im good. best buy for me in 2024.
This gave me so much clarity 🙏🏻🥂
Great video and bang on with these being a 2nd device and not main! I think Apple should update it and re brand as iPad Air mini and this will also help with all the different choice and streamline the choice, great Dr Evil reference to buddy
The Mini is my 2nd used computer, next to my desktop. My third is my Mac Air, that I use in the living room. Have been hoping for a new Mini for a while now, but will still use the one I have for many portable uses.
I bought a second hand Mini 6 a few weeks ago. Couldnt be happier! I'll probably get the Mini 7 when it comes out tho.
I was able to find a new iPad mini 6 in 2022 at a liquidation store with WiFi and cellular for $380. I didn’t even care that it was pink, I could not pass up that deal. 😅
I’m very happy with the iPad mini 6. The only disappointment I had when I got it was that when I opened the box, I thought I got the wrong thing because I was expecting purple and it looked silver to me. You have to hold it on the right light just to see the slight purple hue. The main thing that I would love on the mini would be an oled display, but like you said this display is not bad but yeah compared to my iPhone 15 Pro Max there’s quite a difference. When I saw that they’re not updating the mini it actually made me feel good because I still have the latest iPad mini and I wasn’t planning on upgrading this year.
My Mini 6 is great, bought it on launch day and have zero regrets. The laminated display, the speedy chip, it's just a great device. I will certainly upgrade immediately when the mini 7 comes out, but I'm content to wait until then because I'm not sure what really needs to be updated on this thing. It just works.
My iPad mini lives locked in portrait mode. It is my notebook, ereader, sketchbook, simplified tablet. The only game I have on it is a sudoku that I use the Apple Pencil. It tends to get more use than my iPad Pro.
What do you use the Pro for?
I still have my mini, but I find that I'm using it less nowadays with a iPhone 14 Pro Max with OLED, and I had the 12.9" Mini-LED iPad pro but I just traded it in for the 11" iPad Pro M4. With all these pretty OLED screens around and now having been able to downsize my main iPad back down to 11" to get a premium screen, about the only thing I still like about the Mini is the smaller size.
I'd be happy to see a model with an updated screen. Like you, I feel that is it's biggest current weakness.
For virtually all the reasons you've identified in this video, I bought a Mini in 2022. Though I was considering a Pro at that time, I went the other way and went down in size. I couldn’t be happier with this device and it works perfectly for me and I do, in fact, use it more than any other device and has likely been the highest value Apple product I’ve yet bought (AirPod Pro Gen 2 is up there too). Its form factor reigns supreme for me. I particularly like it for reading and whether it’s articles or books, that’s probably what I use it for more than anything else. My only real criticism of it was/is its native memory of 64gb and that the first upgrade (which I did) was to 256gb which was/is typically “Appleistically” expensive. I expect to use mine for years more.
For all these reasons you outlined, I just purchased the mini. I got fed up of waiting for the new generation, knowing it’ll only be a spec bump and probably a centred camera. I love it! As some others have commented, it’s stupid that I’m spoilt for choice with 3 iPads all at 11” (Regular, Pro and Air) and yet nothing new if you don’t like that huge a size. The mini is perfect for bags, watching in bed, on the go note taking and even quick video calls. So versatile, but clearly does everything I need and is super fast for new software features like Free Form. I can’t complain, it’s awesome 🙌
I had the 11” and it would sit on a bench more often than not.
Then got the mini and I genuinely use it as much as my phone.
You almost convinced me to buy an iPad mini… but then you talked me out of it. 😂🤔
😂
It's a whole rollercoaster of emotions when it comes to many of Greg's videos, haha
Ha ha. The Mini is the only iPad I ever want to use. I have the M2 12.9 Pro for ‘work’, and the new iPhone Pro Max but it’s always the Mini I gravitate towards. I just wish it had an OLED display.
I love my mini, I am noticing I grab my mini over the iPhone and it is done intentionally to conserve battery on the iPhone .
Guess i should stick through to the end then
Still using an iPad Mini 2. I'd wait simply given the huge gap in hardware since it's last update. Given time between updates I'd buy the next refresh and sit on it for another 6 years or so.
Ive had my Ipad Mini (6) for 2 years and am more than happy with it. It does exactly what I purchased it for. No upgrade in the future for several years to come.
That intro was your best yet!
Love my mini!! When traveling it is great, waiting for reset!! & new design,, I hope!!
I have an iPad Pro and its essentially my in-home mobile media consumption device, but I don’t like carrying it when I am out and about and I know I am going to have some downtime in between. In comes the mini. It is perfect for that. I use it with the Apple Pencil to take notes, sketch and have a bigger screen than my phone (I prefer smaller iPhones). It is also so much better for my coaching than the bigger iPad as I can slip it into my jacket pocket. I was thrilled to be able to pick up a brand new 256 GB for $400. Maybe a foldable iPhone that works with the Apple Pencil could eventually replace an iPad mini?
I will be getting the Mini, pity it did not get an update but I like the small size. I have an old iPad air and it's too big for what I use it for
I still absolutely love my Mini, which I bought when the current version was first released. I've used it for drawing in Procreate, and even video editing in LumaFusion. The only improvement that would really make a difference to me would be improved battery life.
Had a 2018 11" Pro and sold it for the mini 6 and never looked back. If I want high end performance on the go, I have my 14" M3 Max for that, and even then, I don't like to lug that around.
Bought my iPad mini 6 on release date, still my favourite Apple product, simple…
I love my mini that I got from pre-order, I don’t need that much but if they do change, would probably upgrade. But I’m good for now.
I have the iPad Mini 6 and love it. I never noticed the jelly scrolling. The screen suits me fine; I have an iPhone (also mini !) with an oled display and even if i can see the difference I’m perfectly happy with the screen of the Mini
I use my Mini every day at work and would miss it so much if I no longer had it. It has its own place in my workflow that my iPad Pro and my iPhone couldn’t compare to.
I've just bought one for my son who's 2 mo. old for storing his pics. the price still holds up pretty well
dude the intro!!! OMG you are amazing :-D
Got iPad minis since years. Mini1, Mini4, Mini5 and Mini6. The Mini6 is great and holds the test of time. However I would not buy new new today. It’s just to old so an update has to be right next corner. Or buy a used 6 if available.
Great review
I am so ready to move up from my mini 4 to the mini 7. Battery life is getting weaker and worse all the time! Barely hanging on, hope they hurry things up! +1 for the vid
You should’ve moved from the 4 to the 6
i have had 2 minis, really great form factor, but i will say part of me would love a foldable that is about the size of the mini
I ended up getting the new 11” iPad Air instead. I’m mostly happy with it but the weight makes it slightly uncomfortable to use. I also think that for the price the refresh rate should be 90 or 120Hz. I have a feeling the iPad mini won’t be updated for some time.
I love my mini 6 258 cellular. The mini 6 is the sharpest of the iPad line. The ppi is 324 vs 264 on the pro and air. Side by side you can see the sharper text.
Still using the 2020 iPad Pro and works great.
I love the main thesis of it being the tablet’s tablet. Couldn’t agree more.
Apple’s iPad strategy right now is dumb. Three larger iPad versions with 11” and the never update the smaller one. If Apple had done a 9” iPad Pro size I’d run and not walk to order one.
What’s wild is Apple had a 9.7in iPad Pro! Not sure why they didn’t keep that one around longer!
Yeah but you are few, 11 inchers are many
@@thetechrealist Wish I was an 11 incher.
@@BacklogDrifter Well too bad!
You’re mini sized bud….

Tbh i bought an iPad mini 5 in 2020 - great device; I've always loved small tablets - and was thinking about upgrading to a mini 7 when it arrived but it never did. I've recently switched to an android folding phone and am really happy with my purchase!
I just bought one used. Love it.
It is weird how the new layout of the Home Screen for iPad mini the app icon sizes are smaller than the iPhone. It just looks so weird with so much negative space on the sides of the Home Screen with the mini app icons.
Thank you, i'm considering buying based on your reporting. I don't need the best and most recent version, i just need one that works well, small form factor, basic useful features. So this one my do the job well!
I want an iPad mini to put my knitting patterns on. I’m going to see what the lineup is in June, if they don’t have a new iPad mini, then I’m gonna buy the older one.
I’m watching you on a mini. I love it. I use the mini as my tv.
Mini 4 to Mini 5 was longer though? Around 2015 to 2019. 4 years. It’s only been 2 years since the Mini 6 release.
I tried using iPad OS (iPad Air M1) for a few hours hooked up to my monitor today. Every time I had an app open such as settings for configuring something when listening to the desktop TH-cam on Safari, it cuts out all audio. Using discord in safari is absolutely horrible too, with the scrollbar randomly breaking and the bottom part of the window going white when resuming on stage manager.
Apple putting the M4 chip in an iPad is a waste of sand, but at least the iPad mini isn't trying to be anything more than it actually is.
Imagine a M chip, even a M1 on ipad mini, the battery would last forever 😂
I would take a m1 mini with pro Pencil support over my m1 iPad Pro
The a15 is newer technology then the m1
the A series chip is actually made to be more power efficient than M
It’s already power efficient… so you already have it.
Got mini last year and it’s the best tablet size. Had 11 and 12.9 inch all ended up used very little. Mini? Every day. My dream device would be mini with new oled screen any M chip 8gb ram, WiFi 6e, fast charging, perhaps slightly bigger screen, foldable design.
Mini needs a better battery and more storage options like the air got! Start at 128 gb 256 gb and 512gb for the mini
I have the iPad mini 6 in 256 GB .
Mini 6 is great, I've recently completed pretty heavy animation project, using primarily iPad mini 6 for painting frames. Other artists used Pros and regular iPads (and Wacoms as well). Sometimes Mini performed even better than older Pros (before M1) in terms of stability and layers numbers. I specifically wanted small size - it's perfect daily gadget for media consumption, conf calls and browsing. I rarely touch my iPhone 11 at home. Using it since launch, only one thing I regret - I should get 256GB model. Though even for art work 64GB is pretty comfortable, if upload project files to cloud often
Wow! I love my mini, and I bought it for ~ $200 used, just before everyone else seemed to discover it.
My only problem with iPad mini it’s the 60hz boring display.
Agreed. It looks horrible…
Don’t care about that. It’s the jelly scroll that ruins the screen for me.
This will never change. Only the pro models get the 120 hz. So the next iPad Mini 7 will also have the 60hz.
@@alexh7513 it WILL have to change. They can’t keep using old ass tech. 😂 nobody else is doing 60hz. Even $200 phones have 90hz+
@@alexh7513 that’s a shame and Apple it’s very greedy at this point. I guess it’s not a surprise for anyone. Meanwhile 125£ Redmi Pad comes with 90hz display.
I barely use it anymore since I got the galaxy fold. I was shocked going back to 60hz when I turned it on the other day 😅
Watching this on my iPad mini 😇 such a great device. Great performance and so lightweight. I only wish it had OLED and higher brightness.
I was also going to wait our for iPad mini 7 but I cant do it. So I bought 6 last February, best purchase since my Airpods pro 2
Bought one in January 2024. Love it
Noticing that the iPad mini and the cheaper iPad didn’t get any hardware updates this year, it did remind me the iPhone SE hasn’t had an update in some time too
Are they just not selling well like before? Is it near the end of Apple trying to sell more affordable devices?
I love the iPad mini, its my go to portable tech device. Amazing for sketching on and agree with all the case uses you gave it. I do have a third party keyboard case and a blue tooth mouse. When I travel light I can start documents in word. It’s an amazing iPad. If Apple discontinue it (like the iPhone mini) I shall keep it as long as I can.
I don’t understand why the mini costs more than the regular one
It's better.
Had a better screen
more powerful chip, better camera, flash
The Mini is far better in an incredibly fun, powerful and easy to hold iPad.
You are not alone
Give the little guy
a chance
Honestly I have iPad Air and iPad Pro and iPhone 15 pro max and I tend to reach for my iPad mini more often than all my other products.
i bought my iPad Mini when it first came out and it's as good as the day I received it. I love it and use it CONSTANTLY. There is absolutely no sense of it getting older or slower.
Actually you can use it as your only computer as a creative professional . I have been for the last two years. It fits perfect for me as a travel photographer, with a minimalist lifestyle, I use Apple pencll for retouching, a folding full size keyboard when needed, mouse, and external storage drives. I do wish it were a bit faster, but the pros out way any cons for me! I would love a mini pro to. It not essential.
It in fact doesn’t suffer from anything you mentioned at the start! I have ZERO NEED for an update!
check out the devices by doing a side by side with starting of 256 GBs to make a decision and you will see that the ipad mini and ipad 10gen are old and them being old is the true discount but also the drawback as well...
I have the latest. It is a rock solid tablet. I disagree on the comparison to OLED. I used an iPhone 13 next to it for years and I dunno - they are different devices with different goals. I like the mini as it stands today, my only change would be for a brighter screen. Besides that it stands next to my iPad Pro, and get used a HELL of a lot more due to its convenience.
My wife loves her mini. Before this latest one came out she resorted to buying an iPad Air, but hates the size. So when this came out she bought that and I inherited her air (which stopped me investing a in a pro). She will only upgrade if a new mini comes out.
The 6th gen iPad mini was released in 2021. I got the 5th gen in 2019, so I didn't need the 6th gen right away. Instead I waited until I saw a $100 discount for the base model at Best Buy, bringing the price to $399 in fall 2022. If the next mini is released this year, I might wait until 2025 for a similar discount, hoping for more storage. This is a third device for me so my expectations and use cases are limited. As such the
What do you think about a 9th gen iPad in 2024? I just bought one a few weeks back with 256GB for $380. I already had the keyboard and pencil from a broken Air 3. I’m still in the return window and torn.
i have it since release and honestly think it’s great and think it’ll last you a long time. enjoy it
I got the iPad mini 6. Wow best tablet I’ve had ever (iOS, android and other). My top 3 things I’d like but not that much of an issue: wireless charging, better screen, longer battery life.
Haha that was a great intro. Nice job.
Getting a refurbished one. Waiting for places to put it on sale. That or tbh I never had a mac and will most likely buy a 2015-2016 mac book.
I got a iPad mini (latest one)for my daughter. I still got my 2018 IPad Pro. I want to update my iPad but I want a iPad Pro that’s it’s mini. Look like I won’t upgrade no time soon
For me iPad mini 6 & the iPhone mini 13 is the perfect combination, powerful portable compact flagship products, totally unique & niche, I purchased both on my last trip to Japan, iPad was £217 & the iPhone was £145 cheaper than buying in Europe!.
Need a mini pro with the A18 Pro Chipset, 120hz (or at least 90hz) 8.7-8.9in OLED display (shrink the bezels), 8-12gb of ram, 256gb-1tb SSD, the nano texture glass option, and support for the new apple pencil
well we also need golden toilet seat
