[@JHawk]

How we feeling about the iPad Mini?? Cool or nah??

[@RobPires]

I would prefer a 128GB ipad mini. I think most people would prefer it and apple knows it too. I guess it is still all about the benjamins. It was the same with the previous ipad mini if I am not mistaken. That is my only disappointment.

[@Keiku86]

I love my iPad mini 6. I use it every day for work. It has replaced my iPad Pro and MacBook Air at work. I would love to see a in depth review.

[@i4mboyc]

Still enjoying the portable size🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@steveleatherwood3803]

Loving it. One of the best iPads Apple has introduced in a while! Love the portability and the form factor.

[@TylerInRareForm]

Loving mine! Probably my favorite all around form factor I’ve ever had in a tablet. Perfect size for consuming content. Great video bro!

[@RosaDaniello]

[@JHawk]

I made it myself! Love Kobe 🤘🏻

[@DarkestMoon]

Another amazing video! 🔥 I totally agree with you when it comes to the 60hz display, I’m using the Oneplus 9 with the 120hz display and it’s definitely strange! But I don’t have to do the swipe up thing after I unlocked it with the Touch ID, I just leave the finger there for like a second more and I’m on the homescreen 😁

[@JHawk]

Ahh good to know! And thanks man

[@warrengaskin3863]

I've come so close to purchasing the 6 but my Mini 5 is still satisfying to me. I rarely use pencil and I don't do anything CPU intensive, but who knows maybe sometime in the future Best Buy will make me an offer I can't refuse.

[@rogelioayus]

Currently using iPad mini 2 in 2021, I think upgrading to iPad mini 6 felt like I’m in the future for sure. Excited for new experience of these screen and home buttonless. Been using the iPad for 7 years, gonna use this new iPad mini 6 for another 7 or more years hahahaha

[@charlenefarrell260]

I love my iPad mini 6!! As a teacher it’s the best device to take into the classroom and the usb c has made life sooooooo easy, jacking it up to projectors and monitors is so easy. I love the design and the fact that it has so much power in that tiny device. I’ve been using my MacBook less since I got it 😝

[@JHawk]

That’s awesome it works for you!

[@GearRelated]

I feel you about being spoiled on the 120hz now! I just got my 13 Pro Max in last week and yesterday I was going through my old phone backing stuff up to send it off and instantly noticed the 60hz and also thought it felt dated just from that! Great video man!

[@JHawk]

Glad im not the only one! haha thanks for watching!

[@Dee_Lopez]

iPad mini pro would be killer for sure. - 120hz display - better storage options - M1 or next A chipset - better battery life - smart connector for small keyboard options. Would buy asap

[@JHawk]

Yes agreed!

[@shubhendudeshmukh3146]

with those many features, u wouldn't be able to buy it because price would be so high

[@brockhollensteiner8581]

I like the idea of this, but I have the M1 chip 11” iPad pro. And i have the smart folio keyboard which i love, which the mini doesn’t have. I feel the price of what the mini pro would be i would rather by the 11” iPad Pro. I do love the size of the mini, but the 11” is good for traveling and working off of.

[@Justin-jn1hv]

Wouldnt make a mini if its that large

[@peterellison2220]

Yeah where’s the 128 GB option

[@charlschuck6]

Is this mini6 good for a random usage for video recording when walking with either cam? How is the stability image video for the rear 12mp camera the selfie doesn’t have anything maybe but rear might have ?

[@JHawk]

Hmm sorry not sure I don’t use the cameras like that!

[@just-in-tech]

You can fix that problem in settings accessibility and touch I have changed it and it is great on the mini 5

[@HeyItsFiiZY]

Is the 64GB iPad Mini fine if I have 2TB of iCloud storage?

[@windyhorses971]

Good review. My Mini is plugged in most of the day, so naturally I do not sweat the battery or the Portability issues. My Mini is in bedroom and I work on it before sleep.

[@mahiuddin_abid]

Hey Man! Just wanna know if the external drive issue of iPad pro m1 is solved or not If you get time Please lemme know🙋🏻‍♂️

[@JHawk]

Hm sorry I don’t use externals with mine!

[@kimberlygarcianegrete9580]

What storage do you recommend? I feel like 64 is basic but I wouldn't want to run out of space. Especially since I only want it to take notes and basic things, both from school and multimedia. But the 254 version I feel is much and more expensive 😶. But I read that adding storage helps the optimal functioning of the device. But honestly I don't know if it's true 🤔

[@JHawk]

64 is fine for me! If you don’t store a lot then you’ll be fine. It doesn’t effect performance

[@kosmosbjm]

I just got my new Mini 6 today LOVE 😍 the light weight for taking on the go. I now leave my 11” Pro at home; however, I agree that it should be a Mini Pro.

[@JHawk]

Congrats!

[@007Yasir]

I just got my iPad mini 6 last week, the one thing I hate is the grey bar, or home bar, it’s very distracting when viewing in photos or reading in kindle or playing chess, that bar never goes away, unlike the iPad mini 5, it didn’t have that bar, but you could still swap to next app or to go to Home Screen. I use mine in landscape mode most of the time. I have found out when sending an e-mail to someone the keyboard is obstructing the names in the e-mail list, so I have to get out of the keyboard mode to select which e-mail address I need then go back to typing, only in landscape mode. One good thing is the space between letters on the keyboard are a little bigger so you don’t hit the wrong key👌.

[@visionarywatts]

Those 10 minutes flew by! 🔥

[@JHawk]

Man I thought the same thing when editing tbh. Think it had a good flow!

[@PatrickRambles]

Who wouldn't want an ultra portable iPad Air 4 😅. Kidding aside, the mini is definitely my current go to. Great vid, bro 👊

[@JHawk]

Thanks my man!

[@sabo-6072]

There is a way u can use discord while u see a video on KZbin, and move the volume of the video and the call?

[@JHawk]

Not sure sorry!

[@hotdognobun]

How about the jelly scroll on apps and gaming in portrait mode?

[@JHawk]

I don’t really notice it!

I was considering getting one as the price lowered. This was the best review ever. Thanks so much!👏👍

[@JHawk]

You’ll love it! Thank you

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

@@JHawk Thanks so much!

[@rebeccaw9656]

Holding onto my iPad mini 5 for now, because of the 60Hz display and screen remains the same, and I am spoilt by the 120Hz display on my phone. Yes the Mini is my favourite size. Yes, I’ll always prefer a mini over a larger form-factor because I do most of my work and study on a Mac. Perhaps Apple will get my $$ next year if they upgrade the screen - definitely they will get my $$ if they provide a Mini Pro (🙏🙏).

[@guidoserrano2629]

Today I returned the Ipad Pro 12.9". I'm looking at the 11" or this Mini 6. Don't know which one yet.

[@puzianmasri8360]

I love my ipad mini as a companion to my macbook air.. its with me almost all time

[@jamesrobinson7381]

Do you ever use it as phone? And if yes! Does your iPhone have to be near it? I'm thinking of getting the iPad Mini as a phablet. And it would be ok if I could only use it for outgoing calls in Wifi areas. I don't need the 5G for incoming calls.

[@JHawk]

Hmm sorry I never use mine as phone no! Very different devices for myself !

[@JaysBestDeals]

I had major issues streaming on HBO Max and other streaming service s. That along w the lack of a 120hz display was a deal breaker. It just felt like it should've launched awhile back.

[@JHawk]

Yeah I hear ya!

[@matttrowbridge9369]

what type of issues with HBO?

[@grahamhope7653]

If I wanted to use it as mostly a reader ??? Would it work for me outside

the tattoo "do more" is crazy good! :)

Haha thank you!

[@0nizukaS]

I have both the air 4 and the mini 6 and the air definitely drains battery way faster than the mini. i think someone tested the batteries and got an extra hour out of the mini compared to the air.

[@johnt.2000]

In the setting you can enable the hold to unlock, so you don't have to swipe up after the Touch ID unlocks the iPad. You are welcome

[@JHawk]

Good to know thank you!

[@belumom344]

Who much is bro . I Live in Guyana so can you tell me the price . Like how much dollar usd

[@JHawk]

$500 usd

[@IAmBPala]

I have been an Apple fan for a long time, they need to let the lightning port go and switch to type C on everything! It would be so nice to have one solid cable that works with every device. Also shocked they didn't do the 120 hz on this, kind of a bummer to be honest. Solid review homie!

[@JHawk]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching homie 🤘🏻

[@EACru2002]

The mini's size and form form factor is perfect for one hand tablet usage, which imo is really where the tablet shines the most in. The larger iPads are pretty much two hand devices so using them on the go or in the bed like I do, it's not optimal. Don't get me wrong, the larger screens look gorgeous, but in situations like I described, you really don't care as much much about image size as you do portability and comfortableness. Once it starts getting too big, it starts encroaching on monitor desktop/laptop use. I would be trying to watch some show or movie on my iPad Pro in bed, thinking "I can watch it big while being comfortable!" But because it's so big and unwieldy, it ends up being not that comfortable and usually halfway through I just get up and sit at my computer desk and watch it there, because that's actually more comfortable than trying to hold a 12 inch screen in front of your face in bed lol. The Mini let's me lay down and hold this light device in one hand comfortably. And it also fulfill that spot that phones can't. Even though phones are getting larger and larger, it's still just a little too small to really just enjoy and feel comfortable with. And frankly I think phones right now are in a pretty bad spot when it comes to ergonomics where it should either be smaller, or larger, but right now it's that awkward spot where you have to hold it in a kinda cramped position. So even though the Mini is larger, it feels more natural in your hand to hold than my iPhone.

[@corgi8850]

I argee that its not super bright, but used to use a kindle fire 7 which isn't bright at all so its an upgrade for me.

[@JHawk]

Glad it works for you!

[@Afiqlallana]

I want Ipad mini, but i also might consider the ipad air. which one should I get?

[@JHawk]

To each their own!

[@brittanyhigashi3775]

What do the hz numbers mean?

[@JHawk]

It’s how fast the screen refreshes, like a TV. The higher the smoother stuff looks

[@MissyMalaprop]

Weird on the brightness. I’m watching and typing this on my iPad mini 6 with the brightness less than half up and it’s great… but I also do not like super bright rooms and keep lower light. I agree on the 60hz, promotion would be great, and space on the screen is a bit wasted. So many apps aren’t made for this resolution and adds black bars to the whole full screen apps, a bit annoying. I haven’t really had any issues with battery, lasts all day easy. I think just you having your screen brightness up causes that.

[@JHawk]

Fair enough! To each their own. Thanks for watching!

[@vishallanke]

Mini or Air, which one would be better. Use case - Reading pdf books, browsing technology/ software programming related websites ( a lot :) ) and taking notes , Udemy/ LinkedIn online courses

[@JHawk]

Maybe air, but both are plenty good! Just size preference

[@vishallanke]

@@JHawk Thanks for the reply. I tried both from store. Portability is imp for me not because I am travelling a lot, but handy...so choosing Mini

[@jayred1]

It should definitely have both biometrics. And you choose which one you use

Agreed!

[@MissyMalaprop]

To fit all those sensors in the same space would be hard, and rotation would matter, and hand location on an already small device… and might even cut down on battery… no thanks, touchid works great

hey J you promised HATE, dont LIKE 60hz and brightens isn't HATE. All advantages of mini is amazing and by far winning the disssadvantages

[@JHawk]

Not sure which way I’m leaning, but pointing out things about both sides!

[@StevePuppe]

I’ve been debating between the mini and iPad Pro 11”. 64gb doesn’t seem like a real option and Apple priced the 256 so high that it’s close to the Pro. The Pros have been going on sale for at least $100 off so the gap is even less. It just seems like you get so much more with the Pro but I do like the size of the mini.

[@JHawk]

Yeah I don’t think 64 is enough I agree

[@PositivelyPiano]

@@JHawk h as

[@kptnix]

Cant go wrong with either. I have a 11" pro m1 and love it. Never owned a mini so who knows if id like that more though? What did you end up with @Steve Puppe ?

The only thing I don’t like is that the print is so small You should be able to make it bigger! Besides that I love it! I also have the iPad Pro! I take the iPad mini to the gym!

[@blackwintergaming4609]

I like it a lot but I’ve noticed it scratches so easy. The only thing that would’ve rubbed up against it would be my iPhone. If the camera on my 13 can scratch the iPad screen, that’s pretty sad

[@SoonerCreative]

2 things: - It’s always been a puzzle that the Mini is more expensive than the 10.2”. They should definitely be adding more into the display. - Bravo for making a video that’s exactly 10:00 🤣

[@JHawk]

DUDE literally had no idea about the perfect 10 😂😂😂😂

[@PatrickRambles]

The mini is a much more powerful device

[@SoonerCreative]

@@PatrickRambles This is true, but it hasn't always been the case with the mini. To me it never made sense to pay more for a smaller iPad, but I've always used iPads in a more casual way where the power doesn't really matter.

[@PatrickRambles]

@@SoonerCreative totally understand. For me, the mini is 100% for casual use. Personally I see it as a complimentary tablet. I'm not sure if I'd buy it as my one and only.

[@misterblaker]

iPad Mini Pro! yes! Apple, make it a thing

[@JHawk]

Seriously!

[@marcrodet4900]

There is (at least) one major negative that is not mentioned: a lack of mini-jack. How can one plug a wired headphone AND charge the iPad at the same time? In terms of iOS (or iPadOS, as it's now called), the Apple OS is still quite frustrating in many ways. For example, the native Apple Calendar app is still unable to properly display events, which is its sole purpose. Only a limited number of characters is shown for each event, even in the List view, meaning it is quite annoying and time consuming to use, unless all your events have short names. This makes even less sense since only about 40% of the horizontal space is used when in List mode. Apple could and should have used much more horizontal space, enabling a really useful Calendar app.

[@JHawk]

True! I guess I never use wired headphones so that’s why it’s not in my list

[@davidkim4986]

I guess you don’t have issues with jelly scroll

[@davidmcivor2761]

Why have the brightness at 100% all the time, that’s just nuts it drains the battery real quick, I never need the brightness higher than 50%, try turning on auto-brightness.

[@JHawk]

Feels really dim to me that’s why I have a problem with it. 50% is crazy low for me personally but to each their own!

[@ErikHalaska]

The fact it’s not at LEAST 90hz is wild considering there are CHEAP android phones with 120hz

[@JHawk]

Prob a similar price as a cheap android? And a much larger screen. But 90 is pointless, might as well jump to 120 imo

[@ErikHalaska]

@@JHawk cheaper bro, even have phones $200 that are 90hz. I disagree tho, the difference from 60-90 is a lot more apparent than 90-120 imo

[@michaeltaylor486]

64 or 256 gb?

[@JHawk]

I’d go 256!

[@leospeeds500]

Current ecosystem consists of: -Apple One Premier (2TB storage) - MacBook Air M1 (Main computer) -iPhone 13 Mini 256gb (downgraded from 13 Pro…don’t miss the 120hz and better form factor) -iPad Mini 6 256gb (I don’t need it to replace my laptop, works best used as an actual tablet as intended)

[@JHawk]

Better battery life :)

[@hkaya]

I’m sorry but the reasons you talked about are no valid reasons you should now before hand. You can’t compare it to an iphone 13 and the reason is pricing. For example iphone 13 is here 3 times more expansive the ipad pro is atleast 2 times more expansive. The use of an ipad mini is more like a companion than a work horse, it is cool for designers to draw but they will complain about the small screen. Developers wont use it again to small screen. Sorry to say but your problems are a rich kids problems and you needed to compare it against the same price class or talk about the screen size, productivity, battery life and if the screen is not bright enough than show it on camera ven if it does not give the whole image but it gives a idea

Touch ID is what I dislike most about the mini. It doesn’t work nearly as well as the old circular Touch ID for me. It works maybe 33% of the time. So annoying

[@raenicholson5544]

I agree. I’ve reset fingerprint ID many times…. Great for a few hours then stops working. Maybe 1 attempt in 20. This is NOT performance at this price

[@MissyMalaprop]

If I rest my finger and slide it just slightly it usually always works. If I rest it completely still, it works maybe 75% of the time first try.

[@stacksofhunnids]

For me, it depends on the case that i put my ipad in. if the button doesn’t stick out (it’s flush with the case) then it works 100% of the time, if it has my folio keyboard/no case then it only works 45% of the time
