iPad Mini 6 in (2024) Review - DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE..!

[@ramankular]

Recently acquired the iPad mini 6 and couldn't be happier, especially transitioning from the iPad Pro 11". It perfectly meets my requirements as a dedicated media consumption device for watching videos and listening to music, distinct from my MacBook, which fulfills its own unique role as my productivity workhorse.

[@TheOfficialDuBsTeC]

A15 going strong. I also got one this year even I know there probably mini 7 upcoming and I don’t think I’ll regret it I got rid of my Air 4 for it so a small upgrade technically but a nice form factor it’s great for social media, browsing and taking it with you. I wouldn’t have done that ever with my Air 4 just to big and heavy for a carry around device and comfortably using on a couch or something. Plus as you say most won’t use a mini like they need an M4 chip with pro work on it. It’s still perfect even running iOS 18 right now.

Had the iPad mini 5, I only upgraded to the mini 6 & Apple Pencil 2 four months ago, its my favorite apple device, I love the size & portability.

[@RjeyTech]

Definitely a true tablet in every sense of the word!

[@nextsegment78]

The compatibility to the Pencil 2 makes the difference, for users not needing drawings or pen notes, the mini 5 is still a very good option even in 2024

[@JeadilsonBezerra]

I had an iPad Pro 11 but the iPadOS limits it so much. So i sold and got the iPad Mini. Man, what a tablet. Small and light and I can do everything I did with my pro. It’s a tablet that wants to be a tablet not a computer.

[@RjeyTech]

Good move! I would definitely recommend everyone to do the same

The iPad Mini 6 is the best iPad ever! I sold my 2017 12.9 iPad Pro and got the Mini and I’m so glad I did. The 12.9 was too big. The mini is a pleasure to use and it’s the perfect size, IMHOP.

[@muckydish]

I have the exact same set up including the paperlike screen protector. The only thing I add is a metal plate to the back of the iPad so I can place it on magnetic holders.

[@dubletrouble]

I’ve had my iPad mini 6 for close to 6 months, I absolutely love it, it’s my idea of a portable versatile tablet that can do anything your phone can but with a bigger yet portable design. Pulling it out in public is not nearly as jarring as pulling out an 11 in iPad Pro

I have the iPad mini 6, but I gave it to my son to watch and play games. It was the perfect size for him. I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 tablet to replace it, but after a week. I want my iPad mini back. Thr galaxy tab is great but too big and heavy, especially when playing games like Diablo immortal. I'm deciding to return it and just get another iPad mini for myself. I'm not wanting for the 7th gen. 😊

[@nick_848]

Very informative video! I first had a iPad 6, then a 2018 12.9 iPad Pro 12.9", then 2021 iPad Pro 11". The 6 was kind of a poor experience, but a good entry to the iPad world. I've been wanting to go smaller and smaller since the 12.9". I decided to grab a mini next time it goes on sale either used/refurbished/new for $300. I'm so excited!

[@RjeyTech]

Thanks so much!

[@anthonysimpson6738]

I have an old iPad gen 6th that needed replacing as starting to get too slow and full. Our child broke my partner iPad so we needed a replacement for my partner and our child. I had purchased a iPad Mini for work and found it very practical fits in my back pocket. I was prepared to wait for the new iPad mini 7 expected at the end of 2024 as generally I update with the latest because of the length of time I hold onto a iPad 5-7 years. But in the end decided to buy the Mini iPad 6 for all three of us as we needed them now. We use them for consumption and it would be fine performance wise. I had considered the iPad 10th gen, nice colours but the lack of support for the 2nd gen Apple Pencil was the main reason to not go with them. The Wi-Fi changing and magnetic sticking meant it was more likely to be practical and used. The iPad mini goes well with our iPhone 13 mini, in the sense can carry both around on holidays and trips. It would have been nice to get the iPad Mini 7 but I suppose I could upgrade when it is released if compelling reasons to upgrade but likely just a chip jump that is all that will change. I actually like just one camera bump on a iPad it looks cleaner and generally I don’t take pics or videos with an iPad. Really weird how Apple hasn’t upgrade iPad for so long. Anyway my reasons for buying an iPad Mini 6 in 2024. It is still good to use.

[@salbemark]

4:52 Correction: it has 2 speakers, one on each side, and both speakers have 2 grills in case you are covering one of them with your hands in landscape mode, not just for “aesthetic purposes” (source: I have an iPad Mini 6)

[@salbemark]

But yeah, the bottom ones are louder (while in landscape mode)

[@franktartan6808]

Thanks Rjey! How long can I expect apple to support the mini 6? I have a 10” iPad but I lay in bed, I am old and have a bad back, an read news for an hour or two, plus KZbin. I got a mini 4 and the world changed! Reading on the 10” was too heavy, the iPhone 12 mini) too small. Bought the mini 4 6 months ago but 3 months ago they stopped software updates. Now I can’t use the apps. No prob, it has been supported long enough. The BIG QUESTION is should I get a mini 6? Will it be supported for a few more years. Or pay 500 dollars more for the mini 7 when it comes out.

[@Daddy_Steph]

I was questioning myself to buy a iPad Mini 6 cause already have a iPad Air and using it all the time but can’t carry it on my small sling bag. You just convinced me to by one, thanks Rjey 🐬

[@TheGreatLakesRonin]

Same! I love touch ID, I hate that they even got rid of it at one point

[@RjeyTech]

[@edcipriani8873]

I agree with you, the iPad Mini is a great device. I had the iPad mini 4 for a few years. After it stopped getting updates for a couple years, I decided to go with the iPad Air in early 2022. I could get a much larger screen for $100 more by stepping up to the iPad Air. I didn't want the regular entry level iPad, and I felt that stepping up to the iPad Pro was overkill and unnecessary. I just figured that a larger screen would be easier on my much older eyes. I definitely do miss the much more portability advantage of the mini, but this works for me. I just wish Apple included the Pencil when you buy an iPad. Samsung includes the S-Pen with many of their tablets, including the new S9 FE. I realized a long time again that while purchasing many of Apple's devices is worth the investment, many of Apple's accessories are way overpriced and are a ripoff, especially when you can buy other brands that work just as well.

[@sreshab2596]

Can we use latest ipad as main or portable display for mac mini ?

[@Jinx1927]

I've ALWAYS been an android user, infact my phone will always continue to be an android, but as far as tablets go, this device impresses me. I had to buy an Ipda mini 6 for college and it is a very sleek build, and suprisingly light. It's about as light as my phone. Sure, the software sucks, but I can always appreciate good hardware. I love the type C, too.

Swapped my 12.9 iPad Pro after having it for a year last year for the Mini. Had no need for it since I have a MBA. Plus bringing the Pro to work everyday to read or watch tv during lunch was annoying. My first iPad back 12 years ago was a Mini and after going back I gotta say the iPad Mini is the perfect tablet for my needs. I’ll def upgrade to the 7 whenever Apple releases it.

Love the Mini line-up. Long term fan. Sold my 12.9 pro. And downsized to 11 pro. Still felt to much for my typical use. Social media, leisure, movie / music consumption, reading, note taking. Mini is perfect. Only wish screen was a bit brighter. I don’t care about ProMotion. But flipping from my iPhone 15 Pro, to Mini and back. I noticed the difference. But it’s acceptable. For the portability benefit 🐬 Wonder if / when / what the Mini 7 will bring. Great Channel!

Should I get the mini 6 or wait for the mini 7?

[@RjeyTech]

It depends how long you can wait for..the mini 7 will likely just be a performance upgrade

[@davidjacobs6244]

I’ve been thinking the same and have decided to wait for the mini 7 as at this stage in time the 6 has already lost a couple of years of software support if you buy it now.

Great job Sir! I've been torn between buying a new iPad Pro to replace my 3rd gen model or replacing my 8 year-old 13" MacBook Air with one of the newer 15" Airs, but after watching your video, I think I'll opt for the Mini with the 15" Air to give me more flexibility. Thanks again! 🐬
