iPad Mini 7 Rumors and Thoughts | Should we Upgrade from iPad Mini 6? |

[@Dee_Lopez]

I know so many people who have the iPad mini 6 and want a pro version like: 120hz, more storage options, better resolution, fix jelly scroll, and strong chip so we can play strong AAA games.

[@QasimZafar]

@Dee_Lopez - Having an iPad mini pro version would be a dream come true given how much I love the size and form factor. It’s just something I don’t see Apple doing. I’m really excited to see the final details of the mini 7 I just hope it’s not a few incremental upgrades 😟.

[@kai_lemke]

i think apple is just afraid that they won't sell the 11 inch models anymore if they would release a “mini pro” 👌🏻and that's the point why i think we will never get anything like that...

[@QasimZafar]

@kai_lemke Yup kind of like how they limit the iPad pros so they don't become MacBooks.

[@kai_lemke]

@@QasimZafar yes...thats the same story

[@JezArnold]

I simply want the ability to connect to an external monitor, and not just mirror .. actually allow me to work on a bigger screen with mouse and keyboard.

[@nikvaneyck]

I have the iPad mini 6 and I use it everyday, my most used apple product. I will only upgrade when we get Oled.

[@QasimZafar]

@nikvaneyck - Same here it’s been a staple for me.

[@Chatsworth1979]

I have the mini 5 so I’m anxious to upgrade ASAP.

[@Referee583]

Your video is spot on! I love my iPad mini 6 and agree with absolutely everything you have said. Your video is the best I’ve seen about the iPad mini 7 yet.

[@QasimZafar]

@Referee583 - Really happy to hear you found the video useful and informative. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽.

[@akhmadrifai9773]

Still love my ipad mini 6 ❤❤

[@QasimZafar]

@akhmadrifai9773 - Totally agree with you!

[@Indacouch-li8jp]

Once the mini 7 gets released my two options will be either take advantage of price drop on the 6 or if the upgrades on 7 is too good to pass on.

[@QasimZafar]

@indacouch-li8jp - That’s the best plan ☺️

[@jtower3]

I purchased the iPad mini 6 this weekend. Unless Apple announces the battery life or the screen brightness increases with the mini 7, I will keep the mini 6.

[@QasimZafar]

@jtower3 - That’s great just a few days and you’ll know 😊.

[@RupeshMainaliHere]

You have to keep the mini 6 in any case. You have just bought it lol

[@gary-fp8rw]

How long will the mini be able to update? It is getting old. Thank you. But iam waiting for the new 7.

[@QasimZafar]

@gary-fp8rw - Generally 5-6 years but they never specifically state it and at least I could not find something while searching. I’m also ready to upgrade I just hope it’s not an incremental change. Since the wait has been long I hope the upgrades are worth it.

[@RokBaller]

the ipad mini 6 is by far apple's greatest invention. If you really get into it, it's perfect for EVERYTHING!

[@QasimZafar]

@RokBaller - Definitely agree as I love mine!

[@FlyByWireYT47]

I wish for mini 7 to have stage manager for external display. It would be perfect. On the move with mini, using it as just tablet, but at home, plug it to the monitor and have larger screen for some light work. I've read that it requires 8gb ram, so i hope for that. Though, it won't happen probably. Even if they could, they won't do it, bc .... Apple. Buy Air or Pro. Sad. I have 10th gen iPad and i am more than happy, but it is still a bit too big for me.

[@QasimZafar]

@FlyByWireYT47 - That would be amazing but let’s see if they actually do it. I love the size of the mini and I’m really anxious to see what they do to upgrade it.

[@TheTonyLuo]

I still use ipad Mini5, M1 Mac Mini, because they are enough for me

[@QasimZafar]

@TheTonyLou - Both are amazing and very capable devices. Glad you’re getting great use out of them both.

[@wisconsinbound2123]

I want to see ipad mini 7 in this event not delayed again. I also am not running for new iphone but may be looking for iwatch. I would like to see the camera on landscape and larger storeage

[@QasimZafar]

@wisconsinbound2123 - Really excited for it and hoping it’s not a disappointment as I love the mini line of the iPad.

[@wisconsinbound2123]

@@QasimZafar same if it is not announced may have to go pick up mini 6 Thank you for video

[@QasimZafar]

@wisconsinbound2123 You're welcome the mini 6 is definitely more than capable. Let's see just a few more days to go...

[@superrenda927]

I bought a pre-owned 256gb iPad mini 6, along with Apple Pencil 2, last month. Do you think it's worth upgrading to the mini 7?

[@QasimZafar]

@supperenda927 - Congrats on the purchase, it’s really going to depend on what they do and once it’s out reach out and I’ll be able to better answer that for you! For now enjoy the mini as it’s truly the best iPad.

[@superrenda927]

@@QasimZafar The iPad mini 7 has just been launched, with a17 Pro bionic processor, Apple Pencil Pro support and that's basically it. When you make your video, comment if it's worth upgrading immediately.

[@QasimZafar]

@@superrenda927 I saw and I can already say it’s not worth the upgrade. After many years it’s quite sad to see such a minimal amount of improvements.

[@bnb__lp9711]

I broke my ipad mini 6 the other day so im waiting to see if theyre announcing anything soon. I‘d love a pro version with OLED screen 120Hz and FaceID.. but no way that‘ll happen :(

[@QasimZafar]

Yeah let’s see what happens but seeing that they didn’t bring higher refresh rates to the standard iPhone 16 models tells me they won’t do it for the mini.

[@pinktreeportfolio1450]

I love my Mini 6 😍

[@QasimZafar]

Same here ☺️

[@cordellfrank1798]

Gimme Oled or Mini Led Screen and I'll be happy. higher base GB

[@QasimZafar]

@cordellfrank1798 - I agree 😌

[@cordellfrank1798]

@@QasimZafar Dropped this m4 pro asap for that.

[@mr559]

Thanks for putting "rumor" in your video title. I'm tired of tech video searches being filled with spam videos talking about tech as if it's the official reveal.

[@QasimZafar]

@mr559 - I keep things straight forward for my audience ☺️

[@rabichowdhury212]

They better not change the camera placement to landscape. Where will we charge our apple pencil? Thats what ruined the base ipad.

[@QasimZafar]

@rabichowdhury212 - If they change the camera they’ll probably have a new pencil that can work with it too which will suck because then it’s an additional accessory to buy.

[@krshoreham7634]

I’d like the 7 to be able to use stage manager to make using an external monitor easier

[@QasimZafar]

@krshoreham7634 - That would be so awesome and useful for sure!

[@TerryManitoba]

I'll use my old mini till the 7 comes out - If only to have longer software support as I will keep the 7 for a long long time - everything else is a bonus because my current iPad has plenty of speed for what I do with it.

[@QasimZafar]

@TerryManitoba - Sounds like a good plan 😊.

[@josealvarez9517]

If I had to stick with a general iPad I’d go with the iPad mini 6. If they make enough updates on the 7 I may get it too.

[@QasimZafar]

@josealvarez9517 - Yup that’s exactly what I’m waiting for as well.

[@justicevale6944]

I like your controler where did u buy that? And what brand?

[@QasimZafar]

@justicevale6944 - Randomnly found it and tried it out. It’s great I mentioned it in my accessories video. I’ve dropped the link below 👇🏽. amzn.to/3xJVFuF

[@shavockiphea]

IPad mini 7 needs 128gb base storage option, promotion if possible, and the camera array on the rear to match that of the iPhone. That alone would cause me to upgrade.

[@marymadigan9707]

Thanks for the video I love my mini 6 😊

[@QasimZafar]

@marymadigan9707 - Of course! Glad to hear from you and I hope all is well on your end! Thanks like always for your support 🙏🏽.

[@andrewlauchengco7923]

At the minimum, I expect the Mini 7 to have: - a brighter display - fixed jelly scrolling issue - improved battery - improved camera - A17 chip - Wifi 6e - Bluetooth 5.3 I'd be happy to have one of these in the announcement: - a 128gb option - Pro Motion - Oled screen - M1 chip (not sure, maybe too powerful for this form factor) I see the iPad Mini as the step above the iPhone Pro Max. It's an extension of the mobile phone that I ill gladly travel with and walk around a foreign city with. There are just some websites/ application that I find too small on a mobile phone but just right on a tablet.

[@QasimZafar]

@andrewlauchengco7923 - Agreed but I doubt we see the m1 on here. I also love the size of the iPad mini, it’s just enough real estate while still maintaining a comfortable form factor. Oled screen would be a great addition! I’m really looking forward to see what happens today 🤞🏽.

[@andrewlauchengco7923]

@@QasimZafar Too bad they pushed the launch back. Any way, I pulled the trigger and sold my M1 iPad Pro for an iPad mini. For my use-case, I have no regrets. Super handy, definitely friendlier to bring around. Yes, it could use a 2024 refresh, but once you're using it, you won't feel that you're missing out on the good stuff.

[@QasimZafar]

@andrewlauchengco7923 Yup I agree and congrats on the mini. I also feel the same, when you are actually using the mini and enjoying it for what it does you forget about all the other things 😁.

[@andrewlauchengco7923]

@@QasimZafar circling back to this-- what do you think about the iPad mini 7?

[@TheGadgetPanda]

Sure, Apple wants to sell you a new device to take advantage of AI, but there is also an actual technical reason. For years they've been skimping on memory for these machines. Now their new on-machine AI needs that extra memory , so the older devices can't cope. Now you might well wonder why the older machines don't just offload the processing to the cloud . And yeah, that is the real question. Anyhow, I'll be buying the Mini 7 on day one. Not for AI, I just want a smaller, lighter iPad.

[@QasimZafar]

@TheGadgetPanda - I too am not that amped for AI features I just want an improved iPad mini as it’s great for the things I do.

[@SkywalkerPaul]

My iPad mini 2 just died. I'm in the market for a new iPad.

[@QasimZafar]

@SkywalkerPaul - Just wait until the next Apple event for MacBooks and iPads. See what’s announced and then you can make the right move ☺️.

[@juanitoalvarez8355]

will this new mini be able to support final cut?

[@QasimZafar]

@juanitoalvarez8355 - I doubt Apple will allow it. Lumafusion is a great alternative and works flawlessly on the mini 6. Apple could do it but they won’t since it’s not a “pro” device.

[@Denvermorgan2000]

I don’t really care about where the camera is. I just turned it sideways that’s no problem.

[@QasimZafar]

@Denvermorgan2000 - Yeah I’m not big on it either but I believe in general majority of people would find that placement more useful.

[@Denvermorgan2000]

@@QasimZafar the main thing I wanna see on these is a better processor and a better screen with 120 Hz.

[@QasimZafar]

@Denvermorgan2000 Processor for sure but I really doubt they bring the high refresh rate to a cheaper model like the mini. You never know so let’s keep our fingers crossed 🤞🏽.

[@YT-handle-]

Needs Thinner bezels for me to upgrade

[@QasimZafar]

@YT-handle- That would be great but I don’t mind the bezels, gives space for my hands.

[@georgewashington3012]

Agreed. I would have bought one today but the bezels are ridiculous. So much wasted space and they make it look old AF.

[@QasimZafar]

@georgewashington3012 I actually don’t mind the bezels, they could be thinner but it gives ample space for hands when holding the mini.

[@taxineil1]

If they are going to make people buy the latest pencil with it then I'll leave it alone.I've got both 5 and 6 versions,both of which work perfectly for my needs.What I don't need is another pencil!Edited to say I never even noticed jelly wobble issue on 5 or 6.

[@QasimZafar]

@taxineil1 - I agree with you! I also never noticed the jelly scrolling myself. Let’s see what happens today 🤞🏽.

[@Imadethisup]

It is not the Apple way I think you should do better research before stating something in a video Apple intelligence requires more ram for processing task on device and a better neural engine 1:29

[@lazayvion]

If the iPad Mini 7 can support Apple Intelligence, then it will be a seller. One of the cheapest ways in into AI.

[@lazayvion]

On the contrary, Apple Intelligence is currently a gimmick.

[@jtower3]

@@lazayvion I agree, and I also think it’s going to be a year before the new AI from Apple can actually do all the things it is promising it will be able to do. Maybe worth revisiting in 2025?

[@chris12321222]

I’m just glad we got a calculator app!

[@veinnzofficial]

No, if the ipad mini wont have 120hz it will not sell, mark my words

[@georgewashington3012]

They need to eliminate those ridiculously thick bezels. It’s wasted space and makes it look like 1990s technology. Replace the screen with OLED and ProMotion. Knowing Apple, they won’t give it any passion though…just a CPU bump.

[@ctk1604]

I just need a brighter screen.
