iPad mini 6 - A Student's Perspective!

I've had the iPad mini 6 since last Friday, and although I am still working on putting together a full review, I thought I would share the ways I've thought to use it as a college student! In this video, I give you a school-work oriented demo of the redesigned form-factor, working with the Apple pencil second generation as well which now charges on the side of iPad mini just like with iPad Pro and iPad Air 4!

Apple now has a great opportunity for iPadOS 16 to include Split View in portrait mode, where one screen is at the top and the second screen is at the bottom, this would be amazing for jotting down notes while watching a lecture with the iPad Mini in one hand and Apple Pencil in the other.

Anyways great review, you seem like a cool dude, your perspective on its use cases was very helpful and insightful. Great video.

[@avgvstvs96]

EXACTLY! Some people need tech to learn their way. You can't specify a specific way to learn and expect everyone to follow. Imagine having to print out pages of a textbook too bring to class?! Everyone's up in arm's about banning plastic but people waste paper on extravagant levels like this. Plus this whole "Tech is bad" idea is holding everyone back. Tech is the future and limiting exposure to tech limits opportunities enormously. Tech is especially great for lectures, I could record a lecture while taking notes at the same time. If i don't understand a word I could look it up in an instant without missing any notes. I dare a college to tell me I spent so much money for tuition and I'm not allowed to use tech to enhance the way I learn. Makes me furious.

I had a 10th gen iPad kzbin.infoUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.

As a junior currently in high school wanting to change from my current iPad mini 3 I’ve used since freshman year, this was not only the most informative educational video but an actual student view review.

So thank you! ✨

Did you get an mini 6? Sorry. Just curious. I make notes on my laptop using graphic/drawing tablet (4.5"x7") and am now thinking to get iPad. Mostly don't wanna get iPad 9th gen cause it uses lighting. But have heard from reviewers that the mini isn't the most comfortable to take notes on.

[@mikemo949]

I used the iPad mini 1st gen throughout college and it was absolutely perfect. I used it for reading textbooks, blackboard website, heavy emailing, reading notes, a planner, and researching. Mind you this is before the iPhone 6 Plus even existed and before light and thin laptops were mainstream. I was using a clunky Lenovo that would like 3 minutes to load up so the mini was so helpful to always have around. Plus, the battery life was incredible. It would last like a week on a charge (for my use case) compared to my 3 hour laptop battery life.

[@rmaha1965]

It's not how big it is, it's what you do with it. I went back to school a few years agl to catch up on the advances in physics that had been made since I graduated in 1969 and I was able to do everything with the Samsung Galaxy Tab Note 8. If I get a mini, I will name it Minnie.

[@angvanquang7198]

[@DevineDigital]

This video was super helpful as someone who isn't a student, I can still see how the iPad will be useful for me. I'm a busy analyst and always writing down notes in meetings to ensure I get the client the information they need so the notes with pencil can be really helpful. Also I very much enjoy video content on the go so this is the perfect little device. Another great thing about it is the ability to draw my kids photos with some downtime and send it to them. I'd like to note I really enjoyed your video as a first time watcher, you are true to your title by giving an honest perspective unlike most techtubers so I appreciate that. Like you said, it's not a perfect device, but in my opinion on the go, it's as perfect as it gets currently.

[@Michael-ur5qb]

The ipad mini looks great but I think for student the regular ipad is a much better choice. You get more screen at a cheaper price. Neither of them are really laptop replacements. This is a niche product to me.

[@chelsea8082]

The iPad mini is exactly what it’s marketed as, which is a mini tablet, but it’s still a great option for students. It all depends on your preference though. Some people may want an iPad with a bigger screen when they’re taking notes, while others may like the ergonomics of the Mini. I do agree that iPads in general aren’t laptop replacements. My 2018 MacBook Pro had a known problem where the screen was glitching due to a loose switch and I tried to replace it with an iPad Pro, which was a big mistake. It was easy working with the iPad, but it was certain things I needed to do for my classes that I really needed a laptop for. I ended up caving and buying an M1 MacBook. I think for students, the iPads are good for note-taking and editing, but it’s a lot of capabilities that it lacks and a laptop will make up for that.

I see what ur saying but there are a lot of things like the apple Pencil second gen that makes this iPad worth it not to mention the amazing specs but yes the regular iPad is still an awesome value for the price especially for a student in debt lol

I know teachers always suspect kids of playing games or watching videos on iPads in classrooms, but I got an IPad 8 late last year and it completely changed the way I did my college courses. Like the way I immediately cut down the amount of paper I used, and using an app everything was so neatly organized and I could find things quickly when studying instead of rifling thru pages. I wish I had one in High school, like thinking of my bulky binders and folders spilling with papers that easily could’ve been scanned or copied down with a stylus… the way my backpack wouldn’t have caused me severe back pain :( I was a class of 2020 senior so I literally got the iPad a year into college, and I’m so upset I didn’t switch earlier.

I feel like I had to write this comment. To give some perspective I am a 61 year old college instructor, so I always love when students talk about how things "really are" as sometimes we don't know what we don't know. I also understand I have 2 eyes, 2 ears and 1 mouth, so sometimes I have to just be quiet and learn! This was very well done, and although I am not looking to get this for the exact uses that you are making from it, I would be upgrading from the iPad mini 4, and I don't really like the larger iPads. So, not wanting to waste money I always go to KZbin and learn from others who had taken the time to work through these devices. I plan on using it primarily as something that will replace the laptop (temporarily) to do activities like read, email, notes (I hadn't considered the pencil at all, but you do have me thinking about it), and doing some on the road removing photos and videos off of my iPhone 13 Pro when traveling and doing some work in iMovie, etc. I think the screen real estate will be fine in this size.

[@Kotoamatsukami_]

VERY good review ! I wish you all luck for school, your review is definitely the best one out here. Keep up the good work my friend !

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

Nice job of illustrating how different this actually is from a phone

[@jujusreviews1969]

First 5 minutes were more informative than literally every other review I’ve watched

[@mr_red13]

Dude, thank you for this video. It made me realize I don’t want this but rather the Air.

[@cerealeateroo8193]

Thank youuu🥺 couldn’t find anyone talking about the ipad mini 6 from a student pov ❤️

[@Zero]

Finally! Thank you for putting it in your pocket

[@Tech-gv6qk]

Good job Apple. They might not expecting that this mini will boom like this. Good thing they're still pushing the minis. I'm planning to buy one use it as my main phone 😅

[@user-qs8rs6jq8z]

Probably the best iPad mini 6 review out there keep up the good work!! 👍

[@graceescalante9276]

This was super helpful!! I’m a grad student and I have a surface laptop go but I wanted something for note taking and I’m definitely sold after your perspective!! :)

[@danib603]

though a business student probably isn’t the best reviewer for my (future) field of study, this is still an amazing review - ESPECIALLY considering he’s left handed. Overall a great change of pace compared to nursing student reviews. I think my decision has been made for me

[@richmondpattonprehn4383]

Well done! Great mix of iPad impressions and glimpses into your life as a student.

[@hna8122]

This is the first review I have watched from the beginning to the end without getting bored. Thank you for making reviews fun! I've bought an ipad after watching this review🥳

[@hna8122]

Ah excuse me, perspective video then 🙃

I see one of my friends in school using an iPad Mini. It’s basically “pixel-perfect portability.” It was a perfect and small size for transportation, and had a sleek design.

[@Bruceneuman]

I am an old man now, but from what I remember, iPads are perfect for school. Just perfect for note taking of all kinds. No tool is perfect, so you will have to decide what you can afford and how you will use the device most of the time. A good laptop is still a good idea for heavy typing, spreadsheets and the like. And, yes, I am aware of how many times I used the word perfect in this comment.

[@Angel-td9yk]

I got the 9.7 ipad after being a life long samsung galaxy tablet user and I found it to be massive. Even now after using it for a couple years, its still pretty big and inconvenient for me to carry around. I don't like the legagy iPad designs so this has a lot of potential for me while being closer to the size I want!

[@mikemo949]

I feel like I’ve been subscribed to you forever. You always made great videos but I really see your growth. Your opinions seem so natural and from actual real world use. It honestly feels like all these other tech reviewers are just forced to pretend to have needs for their devices just so they can get a review out.

[@vthunder]

Use case review! Finally. Thank you. Very cool. Just bought one and found it too small. Cool device though. Going to stay with my 11”

[@Noah-ut1yf]

9:40 “it actually recognized my horrific handwriting” 😂 Yup, same case, I'm definitely gonna buy this, thank you!

[@JustcallmeTags]

Yo! Just ran into your channel (pre-ordered one so I searched and found this lol) and I LOVE your sense of humor and style! Keep crushing it Noah! 🔥

[@Aviation-lr2hp]

Really great video! You are becoming my most fav youtuber! Keep it up

[@VDVM.MRNGSTR]

I clicked on the video for the iPad review/perspective. I stayed because you’re so adorable! 🤗

[@samiadilrus]

so glad youtube recommended your channel to me lol. you are funny and the video was awesome to watch!

[@themind.doctor]

This was helpful. I think it is still very convenient taking notes and annotating PDFs on a larger iPad. But this iPad mini is going to be helpful with a MacBook or even an iPad Pro as a secondary note taking device. I am amazed that people will have multiple notebooks or a notebook and a textbook scenario in analogue world but not many will use two tablets to review something on one tablet and note take on the other. I find myself often thinking whilst opening multiple windows on my iPad Pro and taking notes in one of them, that it would be really helpful if I had another tablet device/iPad to take notes. The iPad mini fits the bill perfectly. Thanks for the review!

[@appletini1130]

I appreciate this video. I have a 12.9 iPad Pro 2020 model. And I wanted something a little smaller at times. I live in the big Apple so I like to study on the train and on my lunch break at work sometimes. Thanks again

[@peacefulgabi]

wow! such a nice, thorough review of all the different ways you can use the ipad mini

[@f_bara2310]

I'm a university student too and I have to say that with the lockdown situation, sometimes last year, I used to work on my iPhone 12 mini to take notes. I had my class on Teams via my PC and for some of my subjects I literally have all the lectures of the semester on my iPhone, which is kind of lame when you have to prepare your exam at the end of the semester. Having an iPad mini with a pencil could literally change the game, even in class, when I don't have to spend two hours taking notes! Thanks for the review! 😁

[@sarah.1387]

ok alex and noah are the cutest i need help 🥺

[@vitorsaye2732]

Man! Congratulations for this video, perfect! Its Rare to watch a explanation like that I would like to see editing videos on it

[@clunnettia4859]

was on the fence about buying another apple product.. been having a tough time with them all year however do need to study + this looks perfect. Thank you for your review! Excited it has a camera also - interested in how well it works in taking photos of the moon 👀🌙

Advice from a Mini 5 owner to any new mini adopters: Attach a 3 point elastic strap to the back. You don’t even remember you’re one handing. It just kinda becomes natural. Ive tested taking it off, but holding it without it feels precarious AF. Don’t know how I juggled in the first few weeks without it. Might be hard with one of those Apple cases. Not sure. I’d try it if I had one. I just use mine around the house, so I cut the front flap off my UAG case and the little strap hands grab onto that perfectly. If I travelled with it, I’d throw it into one of those thick surf wear type zip up slip cases. There seemed to be a few online. No this is not an ad. Lol. I got a TFY one off Amazon. I actually ended up buying 2 cause I then wanted to get it to pretend to be a 4 point strap. But at 6 points & overlapping itself, it’s unusable. Lo. If I could be motivated to, I’d design and make a 4 point one and make heaps o cash. Lol. Can someone please do that. I’ll buy it. I custom where I place the 3 hands to top left, bottom middle, right middle low. It’s not on the instructions, but feels looser and gives me a handy 2 finger hold in landscape. I flip it around all the time. But I mainly prefer portrait. It’s good for reading comments while listening to YT vids and comics & drawing. I mainly use it on my back in bed. Never been so comfortable using a computer. I can even draw this way with the strap. Plus iPad never hits your face with a strap on it. Lol. I just see all these reviews now, and think, “where’s your strap”. Lol. I did have an Air 4 for 2 days before the mini, but would be curious how a strap does on that. It would have to improve it heaps. I tried the Velcro ones too, but not for me at all. Too clunky. I hope they become popular and we get heaps of cool strap variants. I was going to make one with tape and elastic until I found a couple online.
