🚨 Correction: During the intro I say iPad mini starts at $599, but it's actually $499. I correct it later in the video.

I LOVE my mini! I’m a med student and my iPad mini fits in my scrub pocket and it’s invaluable when I’m on the wards. While it looks unprofessional to use your phone, no one bats an eye with an iPad haha, but it’s amazing how helpful it is when I’m presenting

I have a "regular" (not mini) iPad" for 2 years now (which I bought used / 2nd hand), and I find it a little bit too big to hold for my more or less only way of using it, which is watching youtube videos. I think the iPad mini is better for my needs, but it's quite expensive and I'm surprised there are no other competition in the "mini" size (7-9 inches), by other tablet manufacturers such as Google, Samsung etc., which is unfortunate.

I bought a Mini for the first time. Had other iPads from the very first one, but they spent most of the time inside a drawer. My iPad Pro with Apple pencil, magic keyboard, mouse, ... it never replaced my Macbook Pro, and it was heavy to carry around, therefore it also stayed in the drawer. Now I want this Mini on my desk next to my office laptop, even my Mac, to replace paper notebooks, post it notes, highlighters, various pens and pencils. It's easier to place it into a handbag, scribble notes while working, and attending evening classes, supermarket shopping list, watch TV, KZbin videos, read books, check e-mails, ... I'm still learning how to make better use of it with the Apple pencil. And I almost forgot, the cheapest Apple product to get into Apple Intelligence. So I like it 😊

I had the 12.9” M1 Pro, but it was too big to take everywhere, so I got the iPad mini 6 when it came out. When the new M2 iPad Air came out, I traded in my pro and got it, thinking I’d replace both iPads with that one. While I love the Air and use it frequently, I upgraded and got the mini 7th gen and it’s great. I got the cellular version and I’m sitting in the car, waiting for my daughter to get out of school, watching KZbin. I also like using it to read Kindle books, the Bible and I use it at😊 church to take notes. It pretty much goes everywhere with me.

The mini is the best size for studying imo, since you can so easily bring it anywhere, and you can easily hold it in one hand without getting tired. But it's still big enough even for split-screen tasks. It's also the best size for gaming. Either when using touch-input, or various controllers. And when at home, it's by far the most comfortable size to use for anything you normally would use your phone for!

I got the iPad mini 7 as a end all be all tracker, productivity, health (physical and mental), Fitness, and Financial. And its genuinely life changing, no longer do I have to go through a stack of journals daily and can take it anywhere with me. It also makes an amazing e-reader with low lighting and a paperlike screen protector. Also as an artist, I see getting a lot out of it, I don't feel like the lower refresh rate mayters because I'm used to a 2018 air anyways.

May be concise but it seems very narrow minded and not understanding that not everyone has every apple product right this as they are looking to buy the mini. As someone who just has an iphone I wanted something slightly larger and portable but not intrusively large. Ipad mini is perfect for that. Not everyone wants a 10inch + device

I traded in my iPad Mini 6 for the new iPad Mini A17 Pro / iPad Mini 7, 256gb, cellular version. The new mini is now my main computer and I do not miss the iPad Pro, I can do everything I need with the mini, editing videos and photos etc.

I’m an artist who totally switched over to an iPad only workflow. I will never go back to a laptop. Ipads can do everything a laptop does & more. My iPad Pro is my main content creation tool, but when I really wanna travel light, I always grab my iPad mini. It’s the perfect size digital sketchbook when on the go. Some may feel two iPads are redundant, but they really compliment each other well. Looking forward to upgrading my iPad mini 5 to the new mini 7. Mostly for the use of the Apple Pencil Pro, but also for the faster chip, 8 gigs of ram & better form factor.

My other iPad is a 12.9 which is way too big to conveniently and comfortably use as a handheld device. Buying an 11/10.9 would be smaller, but close enough to the big one that it would feel redundant. Mini fits into its own category for me. Although I would still prefer the perfect iPad screen size, the ultimate balance between size and portability, the 9.7” screen. 11” just makes things in portrait too awkwardly big (such as ebooks, and manga looks particularly ridiculous at that size).

Chiming in to push back a little bit on who it’s for. I have a laundry list of Apple devices (2 iPads, 2 Macs, iPhone, Apple Watch, Vision Pro) and my iPad mini is BY FAR my most used daily device. I use it like most people use their iPhones. There are many days where my phone doesn’t even leave the charger. I prefer the iPad mini over everything because even though it’s still small enough to be handheld like a phone, it runs iPadOS which I prefer greatly over iOS. I love being able to multitask and slide over apps and obviously can’t do that on iPhone. It’s not the most powerful device I own and I can’t do everything on it, but I only go to another device when I can’t get something done on the mini, which is rare. I’d give up my iPhone altogether if iPad mini could do things like pair with Apple Watch or support CarPlay. To me it’s so much more than a luxury nightstand device. It’s my daily driver and I can’t imagine life without it.

I used to be an ipad mini person when i was a teenager (that was when the first ipad mini came out) I could have gotten an ipod touch but at the time i could only afford one or the other with the money i earned from my summer job and i chose an ipad over an ipod bc it was way better for games, streaming, journaling, etc (the ipod touch was seriously tiny!) the ipad mini was the perfect middle ground for me, more portable than the regular sized ipad 4 but much better for doing fun things on than the ipod touch. I carried it everywhere with me for years and eventually i only stopped getting ipad minis when i was an adult bc the base model ipads are way cheaper. I have the 9th gen ipad rn and when i upgrade next year i'm thinking about getting the new ipad mini just to go back to my roots lol.

Size matters. I carry an iPad mini (gen 2) in my suit jacket inside breast pocket. Spring or fall jacket, inside breast pocket. Securely stored (buttons on these pockets) and out of sight when not being used. I don't need a bag or backpack to tote it around. I have been waiting for the new version to drop for an upgrade. Since there is not much improvement over gen 6, I will wait for sales on the older model when gen 7 starts shipping.

I was one of the first at my flight school to start using an iPad. It was funny watching the shift from “No way, it might explode!” to “Why are you still using paper? Use an iPad!” 😂 When training, the answer is in the middle: get used to both. And the mini with a sturdy case is the best. When you move on to bigger birds, you'll probably be supplied a bigger iPad anyhow.

Great review. I thought the “jelly scrolling” issue was a nothing burger until you showed how it might impact Ferrite podcast editing. Still not a deal breaker for me, but not as insignificant as I once thought One improvement I was sure YOU would mention, given your excellent demos about USB-C port implementation in the iPhone, is that the USB-C port on the mini 7 has doubled to 10gbps maximum (up from 5gbps). This new speed puts it in line with the larger iPads, which means you can work more productively with hubs and external SSDs.

@beardfm Ай бұрын
The USB-C port upgrade is great for sure! But even in my workflows, there aren’t many times I’ll notice that speed difference. The most common use cases for the port for me is USB mic, HDMI video capture, and maybe a file transfer, but not large ones

You lose me when you say "larger screen." The iPad mini has always been the perfect size for me. It's big enough but never too big. It's CRAZY portable. It even fits in my jacket pocket. It's never too heavy to hold. It's the size of a half-page of letter-sized paper which is the ideal size for me. When the physical Home button on my old iPad mini with Retina display broke I seriously considered getting the iPad mini 6, especially when it came out in purple. But I decided to wait for the refresh and I'm so glad I did. I was really looking forward to USB-C and really, really hoping for Apple Pencil Pro support and we got it!! Perfect!

Mini 6 owner. I was thinking of two things before the 7 came out. Better display and Apple Intelligence. Without the display improvement, it left me wondering if I needed AI for a consumption, not work, device. So trying to stay with the 6. Will be interesting to see how much Siri improves without AI attached. Maybe that is a video if there is enough to discuss.

I’ve got the mini 7, love it, but it has a downside compared to my previous mini 5: the missing home button. On larger ipads you would need two hands anyway to get to the home screen, but on this small ipad now you need two hands as well. While it is perfect to hold itin one hand. Also, the touch id in the top button is awkward if you’re using a folio. The edges of the folio get in the way. I have re-added the home button on-screen (accessibility feature).

No, I'm not going to upgrade to the iPad Mini 7. My Mini 6 is still good, the battery last long enough. I use mine as reading and travelling device. For home use I have an 11 inch Air. My Mini doesn't need to be capable of Apple Intelligence, because it is not available where I live and my native language is not English, so when AI is available in it will be quite some time. I think Apple didn't do much to the new iPad Mini 7, they just give it just enough of a spec bump to make it capable of Apple Intelligence. So maybe in a year of two the Mini 8 will be much better for me to upgrade to, hopefully it will have an OLED display.

I've got the 11' iPad Air 4th gen since 2020 and it's a workhorse. But now that I've bought the MacBook Air M3 that's a bigger screen and does everything, the iPad seems too big and heavy on the go..... so I'll switch to the mini...and the screen is just big enough for note taking, signing documents etc.

First to comment I have the last gen iPad and the upgrade just does not interest me. I will agree I use it when traveling and for small periods of time here and there but use the iPad Air mostly or just use my phone for most quick reads. So mostly use it for a time waster with games but not much more!

agree with your use-case analysis. A few months ago, i sold my iPad mini 6 and got the11” M4 iPad Pro . Love it. By the way, do you plan to do an update about your used Tesla experience?

Other than the terrifying shots of the mini too close to the edge of the pool 😱… Great review w/diverse scenarios young to old size is the killer feature, and now much better battery longevity with 80% throttling options w/new chip.

What a waste of money if you are upgrading from Ipad mini 6. Absolutely no upgrade at all. How disappointing....

Steve, a quick question. Is this iPad mini unable to read out announcements? My iPad Pro M2 on 18.0 will read out my announcements, which is very helpful to me because I can turn the screen off when I’m doing something else and still get my announcements. The iPad mini that I just recently purchased and is on 18.1 does not do that. I want to know if this is a feature taken away in 18.1 or is it just that the iPad mini can’t do it? If it is a take away feature from 18.1 I will not be updating my iPad Pro. But if it’s just a lack of the iPad mini, I can go ahead and update the iPad Pro.

The ipad mini is perfect for manga and comic books. I do still prefer to read books on my e-ink reader but keep my iPad mini for manga.

iPad mini 7 won't charge my third-party pencil. My mini 6 does, so I know it's not the pencil. My 7 will pair with it. It allows me to write. I shows battery level. It won't charge it, unless I plug in a USB-C to USB-C. Took it to the Genius bar and they shrugged. I'm so glad I upgraded.

The magnets are in a different place on the 7 as it works with the Pencil Pro. That’s why the Pencil 2 doesn’t work. I’d assume your third party pencil has the magnets in the same place as the Pencil 2.

@ Ah, that’s unfortunate. Looks like the M-Series iPad Air, etc. would also need an upgrade from Apple Pencil 2, too. $$$

I have a mini six and if the screen was fixed, camera was bumped up this would become my main computer, but it’s not so I’m still sticking with my Mac and I am not gonna upgrade from the six cause it’s pointless for me

i was thinking about buying one of these for studying, but i have a pro iphone, wich has a 120hz display... then i have doubt, writing with the apple pencil and beeing accustomed to use a 120hz display, would it be bad to use a 60hz?
