It's a little disappointing that Apple is using a 5-core GPU variant of the A17 Pro chip. This means that these are the leftover chips that didn't have all 6 GPU cores working up to standard and that the better binned chips were used in last year's iPhones. I'm interested in seeing the GPU performance benchmark results compared to the M1 iPad Air. I had been a Mini user since the iPad Mini 2, but I bought a 256gb M1 iPad Air in July on sale for $499. I'm glad that I did given that the new Mini did not eclipse it in performance. Perhaps its neural engine is better suited to run the new AI features, so I'll be watching benchmark reviews in the future to compare.

[@loughrey101]

Yep, that's precisely why they are using the A17 Pro rather than the A18. They had no products to put the flawed A17 Pro chips into so had a lot piling up. But I guess on the plus said it's that it kept prices down and we still get all the benefits of the iPhone 15 Pro along with 8GB of ram for the same price so I'm happy

[@ordinaryalan]

There's a lot of videos online about people who do this. I've watched many of them including Jonathan on MacAddress. The summary that most people come to is that there are too many compromises and quality of life downgrades to realistically use the ipad mini as your daily driver phone.

[@LeonSixela]

iPhone mini for phone stuff (the 13 also got decent battery life and a nice big Camera sensor with ibis) and iPad mini for everything else. You don't even feel the mini in your pocket and the two communicate with each other, so you can take calls on the iPad. Did the iPad mini and old Nokia combo back in the day, but not being able to use some classic phone apps or simply write an sms was quite annoying.

I also would love to get 8GB RAM at the 4GB doesn't cut it anymore and always find apps and tabs constantly reloading. It's also thr cheapest access for me into Apple Intelligence as I won't be upgrading to the iPhone 16 this year ( though I will have it on my 16 inch M1 Pro). For me it's great price for an 8GB iPad mini with 128gb storage. It's a much better buy than the iPad mini 6 was. What I would love to know is if the iPad mini will get the 35w charging speeds like the iPhone 16 did, especially as they upgrading the USB-C to double the transfer speeds. I would hate that the iPad mini is still charging at 20w considering it's a bigger battery than the iPhone 16 so takes longer to charge. It'll also be interesting to know if they bumped the battery capacity slightly as Apple Intelligence will require more power

Double dipping on the processor improvement by mentioning the A17 pro and the neural engine of the A17 pro (which is part of the A17 pro) are two separate "MAJOR" reasons to upgrade.

Yeah, I think I'll stick to my 6 for the time being

[@mr.morales0707]

This will he my first one. Pencil pro support, a 17 prox and wifi 6e and bluetooth 5.3 is enough for me to get it

[@SlowDRV]

I have a ipad pro 12.9 2018 with data and my wife has the wifi mini 6 . I plan on getting the new mini with data to use as a phone because i still have the iphone 14 promax

[@SimonKabbaj]

i agree my favorite ipad too, im happy with the 7 gen

[@soulsergeant]

I traded in my Mini 6 For the Mini 7 pre ordered today .

[@jaughnekow]

this is the only tempting apple product i wish to have

[@Eddyt08]

10 reasons not to upgrade should be the title, the apple fan vibe it’s huge in this channel

[@darylang2575]

60hz isnt the issue.... if u want that w oled then get pro. I just wish to put m2 chip/ better faster ram etc. I'm torn between air or pro. mini sold and gave up

[@yizhenchen9899]

I hope there is the extended monitor function available on mini

[@BobBack86]

2 huge reasons to avoid it: 60hz display (even now that supports the Pencil Pro) No second monitor support

[@MikesVegas]

I love the Mini, but own the Pro. If Apple made a Mini Pro, that could be a game changer! 😎

[@deon.zoldyck]

Why won’t they increase the battery of their iPads? The iPad Air 4, 5 and 6 all has the exact same capacity and the iPad mini 4, 5, 6 and 7th generation has the same capacity as well.

[@alpzepta]

Faster chip and 512gb option? Instant buy

[@virtualshift]

Without 120Hz display and face ID. This just seems like it's a complete waste of money to me. Kind of sad really, because I'd love to buy one of these to take with me when I go camping.

[@mrbojangles1391]

Not everyone wants 120Hz or FaceID. I don’t…which makes this almost perfect.😊

[@georgewashington3012]

Yep

[@pubginhogaming1897]

I am an iPad mini 6 user and it's amazing

[@Tsunamisurfer29]

Looks like a great product for 2021.

[@KevBarnes]

WiFi 6, 6E etc requires a 6 or 6E compatible WiFi router else you don’t reap the benefit. Might want to point that out. Or not. Your call.

[@georgewashington3012]

Yeah, the vast majority of consumers don’t even have a 6E compatible router. It’s useless to most buyers. They focused on spec bumps no one was asking for.

[@jaycahow4667]

@@georgewashington3012 I get 500 Mb speeds on my Wifi 5 9h Generation tablet and that is more than enough. Wifi 6 and 6E are marginal upgrades in Wifi unless you have congested Wifi.

[@PlayGameOnMac]

iPad mini deserves way more than this from Apple!! Come on..!!! 😢😢😢😢

[@jreal.89]

Just like my 11 inch Pro I’m waiting until the Oled version comes out

[@altaikhuugalbadrakh351]

You earned my sub with those high quality and practical reviews on apple products that never disappoints. Keep going man!

[@mannkeithc]

It's a good upgrade on the sixth gen iPad Mini, but I wished Apple had put the A18 Pro chip in the new iPad Mini and not the A17 Pro, especially as this device has a long refresh cycle. The A17 Pro was fabricated on the old TMSC 3nm process that was expensive and had low yield issues, and I thought this process was going to be decommissioned. So, what happens if Apple's stock of binned A17 Pro chips runs out?

[@jorgepinto4953]

Great update and trade in iPad mini 6. Ready to upgrade

[@blashomin]

The iPad mini 6 is the only Apple device I have that I like. I had high expectations with the new iPad mini and I'm super disappointed Apple does the same thing over and over again. no major change. I expected fewer frames. better camera. better screen resolution.

[@Taxiway_Alpha]

The pixel density is so high that you can’t even see the pixels. Why would they increase the resolution. Do you just like seeing high numbers? 😂

[@blashomin]

@Taxiway_Alpha you'd understand if you saw what Samsung does with its screens 🙂

[@robgardner4754]

With that A17 Pro, it’ll be a hot little number, literally!

[@jpracing893]

Hopefully with the large surface area of the Mini it actually helps thermals

[@thomassetzer]

Apple got me with the iPhone 16 pro max they not getting with the iPad mini 7 I have the mini 6 256 gig cellular version plus it has a SIM card slot

[@riegin24]

I’ve been waiting for this moment and now it’s the to upgrade my ipad mini 5 bought 2019.

[@therealfinisher]

I was expecting a oled display.. so I will still use my iPad mini with the a15

[@StwRemains]

Bro’s goatee is not trimmed straight and it’s driving me crazy

[@AjAj-kg9uw]

Love the blue can’t wait to get it
