No , because small battery

Please review Ipad 9th gen That's large enough to use as a tablet

Love the smaller frame factor

Your reviews are so good, both video quality and of course content. Focusing on what matters, really using this tech and sharing your opinion on pro and cons - and thus talking about important details you won't hear on other channels. Add the Thao factor and you're easily one of my top 3 mobile tech KZbinrs, the best for tablets. So a big Thank you for your work.

You channel is one of the best in tech related stuff!! I really like you reviews! Great job!!

[@rowanthomas9181]

I was torn between the new air that just dropped and the mini. I ended up ordering the mini just because I did feel I wanted a bit of a bigger screen then my phone but the air and pro versions just seemed massive (probably cause I’m not used to a tablet). This is the perfect tablet to take with you anywhere and perfect for someone that wants to be able to do a bit more processor intensive tasks but is not using it to content create etc. Can’t wait till mine arrives.

[@ganesang5537]

Your reviews are becoming more and more wholesome.

[@jdzspace33]

I loved by old iPad mini. Especially for reading. Granted I didn't really use it for much else, but I still remember it fondly. The main reason I decided to hang on to the Z Fold 3 is that when opened the screen is the exact same size as that old iPad mini...making or far and away the greatest reading experience on a piece of tech I've ever had, and that's including my Kindle. But for the money I'm sure he iPad mini is a great buy. I just got the Z fold for far cheaper then msrp

[@mrhotasice89]

Your review sealed the deal for me. Awesome channel!

[@NTWS804]

you are the only review I check when I want to buy a tablet, especially the Samsung S7+, you gave a lot of pro tips when other YT creators only would tell me Samsung dex, great screen or all the stuff that i would already know during the launch event...

Great review ! I love the Mini for travel, especially air travel. It's so nice that it fits in your back pocket. It's nice and light and I like it better for reading.

[@maryansjournal]

Oh that's enough description for me to consider buying it for my vlog.Most of the time i'm having weekend trips so portability matters to me...Great job!

[@teatemplar]

As a person that uses the iPhone Mini this is the perfect tablet to compliment it. If you are using the largest iPhone I imagine the iPad Mini won't make sense to you. Another use case of this iPad would be that is an excellent gaming machine using a PS/XBOX controller. Apple Arcade has improved gaming options in the app store by a lot. Cloud gaming is also amazing on this thing if you have a decent connection. Personally I remote into my PS5 or Steam library and have had playable experiences over LTE in certain areas. It's also worth noting the tablet weighs around the same amount as a Nintendo switch. I do hope we see some specialized gamepads that don't suck for this thing.

[@Jrb_Vision]

Another amazing review 🔥🔥

[@charlesasmith7836]

Yes true 🙏

[@felix3861]

I've to watch any video that you upload coz you're angelic and your review are beautiful 😍 too. Much love from Kenya

[@jonegroove]

Great review as always 👏 Small tablets are awesome, but its the Z Fold 3 for me, but the iPad Mini is good option if you're in that eco system.

[@cheeeeezewizzz]

Or if you need a few specific apps. I want a high quality video editor and vector/pixel editing on my device. So ipads are the only choice since Android has no good options in those areas. That's why I've kept my zfold2 instead of upgrading to the zfold3 and getting the pen. Samsung really needs to pay Affinity and lumafusion to make an android app for their Samsung app market.

[@motorolas]

I appreciate you covering the speaker cutouts. I have the iPad Air 4 and it does make a difference being able to hear the content depending on how I hold the device.

[@GarageBen]

Nice video! 👏 I use my iPad mainly for my music channel here... obviously. In your opinion, which iPad might be best for the GarageBand app? Mini 6 or another?

[@AkamaiOkole]

I just watched this and I agree. My iPad mini goes everywhere I go ! It really is the perfect size as if I need a bigger screen I use my laptop.

[@mdavidtan]

I agree the jitter from the 60hz as i often swap between my iPhone 13 and ipad mini. The UI sizing really need to be optimized by apple

[@phil2927]

Another great review by beautiful Thao

[@RogerZoul]

Thanks for the link to the glass screen protector - i am going to try it. The paperlike products bother me as the like using my iPads for viewing my photography images.

[@empress3288]

Hi! Do you think the iPad mini 6 is good for activities related to online classes like attending Zoom meetings and Google meetings for 2-4 hours?

[@katesmortimer]

I just got this in the mail today to replace my iPad Air 4. I felt like I wasn’t using it as much because it was too heavy to hold for a longer time

[@haboot2752]

ipad air or just ditch it and get the mini which one should I get? And do i really need wifi + cellular? I really only need a ipad for watching anime lmao as well as college, travelling, and using it for notes. I really like the mini kinda leaning towards it. But i need an opinion. I also wanna ask if the screen was ever a downside and what issues have you had with the mini?

Loving my new mini but yeah Netflix needs to update. I use this at work on lunch breaks for media. Very portable compare to my pro.

[@DiwaGalvez]

This is why I always refer to you for tablet reviews. You use tablets extensively as well, and hence has a lot of input for this. :) This would be a great device for someone on the go. I certainly won't use it because it doesn't fit my workflow (My Tab S7 non-plus is my go-to option for on-the-go productivity and consumption), but my wife, mother or mother-in-law will certainly like something like this.

I recently upgraded my iPad mini 5 to the iPad mini 6 and I can honestly say it was a great decision. I have a 2021 iPad Pro 12.9 but I hardly use it now as my go to device is the mini 6. I spend a lot of time using it and it’s great for when I’m travelling.

[@DomainObject]

Fantastic review. Much better walk through of the mini than many of the leading Apple tech KZbinrs. Your production quality has also gotten to be really good. AND you’re Canadian. What’s not to like! Anyway, my Starlight mini will be arriving soon. You’ve heightened my level of anticipation. LOL. 🙂

I’m saving for the 256 version. I have the mini 5 and the older ipad pro 10.5. The mini 5 will go to my daughter who loves drawing while the 10.5 will be my media streaming device. The audio in that old ipad is still great. The mini 6 will be my travel, gaming, and zoom meeting tool.

[@charlesasmith7836]

[@ninjamode4462]

I have a question when I checked the Ipad Mini sample in the store I noticed that the interface or app size is a bit weird like they are too small( smaller than what I have seen on your screen), similar to how small an android app is and do not look the same as on the iPhones or other iPad wherein they seem to fit or maybe that is just that device not sure. That is the only reason I am hesitating a bit. Can you please let me know if that is really an Ipad mini concern?

[@lfyoung]

Awesome sauce video. I’m just started watching Home town Cha Cha Cha, that kdrama you were showing.

[@ryanfluck1648]

damn! I wasn't first! But seriously Thao, I was so hoping you were going to review this and you didn't disappoint as always! Really think I might upgrade my Ipad Mini 5 over to this.

[@RogerZoul]

I too use a Pro for heavy work tasks and the mini for when I want to hold an iPad for long periods. But I have used the Mini since it first came out in addition to a larger sized iPad. I switched to the Pros as soon as they came out but I don’t necessarily upgrade those. I don’t think yearly updates on iPads are for me but I will upgrade when enough significant changes are made, as I like to ride the tech wave when it is good.

[@cheeeeezewizzz]

Yeah, use my 12.9 pro for editing photos. It's the only reason I really have it. Even used it as my phone for like a year. Got the zfold2 and it fulfills most of my needs. Looking at this as a portable photo editing option. The 12.9 is too heavy to carry in a camera bag for hours while shooting at an event or on a long photo walk where you can't put the bag down and take breaks. This mini would be perfect for whipping out to edit and upload a few photos in the middle of a party and start uploading them or showing off a portfolio without people seeing what's on my phone, then back home to the 12.9pro for the majority of the editing and whatnot.

[@Imprisoned1995]

[@Sted1000]

You mentioned my exact reason for getting the iPad mini....I currently still have Samsung Tabs 2 8.0 and I take it everywhere with me. The battery is now starting to get bad and since Samsung hasn't produced an 8 inch tablet since I decided to get the iPad mini because I want the performance. As a bonus I will now be able to access Photoshop for iPad as part of my Adobe Photography package so I can shoot, Import and edit on the go.I will now have access to my complete movie library for both iOS and Google. So I'm really excited about getting this. I'm pretty sure next year they'll update the screen refresh rate, but then again maybe I go for the iPad air ✌🏾

[@maheshbh1]

Hi Sted, I still got rhe tab s2 8.0, and I am bummed by the fact that its charging port is iffy, but the fact that it has a 3 gb gb of ram and 32gb storage, which you can still increase by adding a 1 tb sd card shows that in 2015, this was the one to go solution. Samsung did make 8" tablets suc as Tab A or Tab E line (which were mediocre), but I never updated it because of the horrible reviews. Back then, I tried the Galaxy tab 4, the 7" Tablet, and it was bad. So, I was happy with it once. But, Samsung missee the opportunity, and it is no brainer that there is no competition for 8 inch tablets. ipad mini, is clearly winner for now. if Samsung brings refreshed tab s8 mini with S-pen support, it would be so amazing and I dont care if it is pricey. Currently have Tab s7 FE and I love it, but wishing for a more compact tablet with no performance issues.

[@FigWidIt]

Samsung's recent mid-range and flagship tablets have been great so far, but I'll say Apple does satisfy that niche audience that want a powerful and compact tablet that never feels sluggish. I have the Galaxy Tab S7 and it's amazing but I do prefer my older Mini 5 for using while laying in bed or on the couch. Bigger tablets just aren't as comfortable one-handed like these smaller Mini tablets are 🤷Now the original price of this new mini 6 is a bit steep though I'll admit that.

Is netflix still like that on the ipad mini 6? I’m considering selling my ipad pro m1 11 inch to get an ipad mini 6 but if netflix is like that, i’d rather not. It’s not an oled screen so watching at night would mean gray side bars from all sides, yikes. Also, i’m worried about the 60hz refresh rate. This ipad pro 120hz display is such a joy

[@PetePuebla]

I replaced my galaxy tab a for this device. I loved my Galaxy Tabe and love the portability of it and when I wanted to upgrade I was looking for a similar galaxy but sadly I was unable to find something that fit my needs. I was looking for a tablet mainly for consuming content and I was looking for a tablet that provided a superior screen display and superior sound. Also with a tablet that was around 8.5 inches screen size. Samsung had the Galaxy tab S6 light but it doesn’t compare inspects to the iPad mini 16. That’s why I’m back with an Apple tablet that’s my second one. I previously owned an iPad Pro .
