Should YOU Buy The iPad Mini 6 in 2024? DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

[@JonAdamsTech]

Do you think we will get a new iPad Mini in 2024? Let me know your thoughts!

[@LucienSabre]

Most likely. :) I already had one (more precisely the Mini 6 wi-fi 256gb) - which I used exactly to read Kindle e-books; I sold it last year because I didn’t use it much, but I’ve come to regret that decision and am thinking of getting another one (same model as before).

[@kidcal]

you didnt use it so much when you had it and sold it, so its best to not buy it again for the same reasons ):@@LucienSabre

I have a galaxy A 7 lite, it was cheap under 200 bucks. I don’t like the aspect ratio it seems too long. It’s a little laggy but a fully usable device. It’s still on an old version of android too. The 256 gig mini is available at 100 bucks off currently so I doubt it’ll will get much cheaper at the launch of the new iPad mini, feels like a good time to get one still in 2024.

[@LucienSabre]

@@TonySchutz I wouldn’t put Galaxy Tab A7 Lite in the same sentence with the iPad Mini 6 - their only similar aspect is the screen size, the rest of the specs is too different (while I love Samsung tablets, the Tab A7 Lite is the worst of them and its extremely cheap-ness is reflected in its components: a super poor processor, half the ram of the iPad Mini, a terrible camera….just to name some basics).

If I need to get more complex work done, I can do it on my PC or my MBP, but for travel, light work, media consumption and all that, nothing beats the mini 6.

Phone & tablet size has disproportionately risen lately when they were always originally intended to be small, the iPhone mini 13 & the iPad mini 6 are the perfect combination of fully functioning lightweight powerful products in a compact portable format, expensive yes but totally unique & niche. I always buy the cellular version of ipads, yes it increases the initial purchase price but the convenience of cellular especially when travelling is worth it, so easy to pop in a prepaid data sim or activating the esim for connectivity is a bonus I don’t understand why some people limit themselves to just wifi, oh & the iPad mini 6 is the full size ipad as it was original intended.

I'm a server and write down all my order in my iPad using notability, a big iPad is ridiculous to use for that, but having the pencil, I never have a pen run dry, I can switch colours to separate orders by seat, I can more quickly make corrections and stay organized. I wouldn't buy my iPad primarily for that, but hours of the day that is what its used for most. When I'm away from home I can start a painting on my iPad mini which I think is a great size for thumbnailing a painting and then I send it over to my iPad air and finish the painting on there. I think as a first iPad it is the best option because it will always be there with you, and then if you wanted to do some more intermediate art you can move up to an air. Having owned a 12.9 iPad pro from 2018, I would say that is too big unless you only plan to use it on a desk for painting, the iPad air is a perfect sketchbook size, but I still never take it with me away from home. I would pretty much usually only recommend an iPad air or better if you are an artist, if you were not an artist I would still recommend the mini.

[@JonAdamsTech]

Nice! Did you see my newest upload about that very thing? I love the iPad mini and like you said though it’s great someone like an artist could really use that extra screen size. Do you have your art posted anywhere?

[@heresyourproblem9939]

@@JonAdamsTech I just checked your video out and I completely agree. University students can benefit a lot from an iPad Pro or air as it allows you to import digital textbooks into notability and have your text side by side your notes. One thing the iPad lacks is proper formatting for science lab write ups. Writing equations in correct format is extremely difficult and I always found myself pulling a laptop out for that. I have also been taking my iPad Air with me lately to run and gun shoot some skateboarding stuff with my friend as me and him learn some beginner stuff and chronicle our progress. I haven’t posted my art online yet but I focus on portraits and as a person who does very long art sessions the iPad is good to last 5-6 hrs which is plenty.

The mini 6 having the same chipsets as the iPhone 13 & 14 base models will be supported for a long time. I think the A10 iPads will lose support for ipad os 18. Then in 2025 will see the A12 chip iPad’s lose support. Depending on if apple continues to use iPhone chips in iPads or use M1 chipsets in all of them. I would not expect the mini to lose support until 2028. The Mini 5 has an A12 Chip 2019 but ipad 8 2020 A12. The mini 4 had 7 years of updates on an A8 chipset. The Minis are always ahead and cost more for a reason. I don’t think its a bad purchase personally since I have a 14Pro an its an A16 chipset. So I think getting 3 years of heavy use out of each device will be worth it! I just went from the Mini 5 which I use for education along with my mac, but the mini 5 & Ipad 8 are slow & laggy now. So it was time. I love it and it was on sale! My only complaint is start light needs to fing go all my gold devices look like silver that was left in a smokers room.

[@JonAdamsTech]

I still have the mini five and yeah it’s just so slow at this point. Do you think they’ll end up going all M1 chips in lower tear iPads and keep moving up in the pro models?

[@jaimeerobertswarz]

@@JonAdamsTechIm not sure as there is a rumored Macbook SE with M1 chip. I would assume to keep costs down they always use older chipsets in the ipad. The 10th gen ipad came out with an A14 chipset. I see the A14 is 1/2 the performance of the M1, but the A15 is very comparable to the M1 chipset. The difference being a couple things for single core and multi core but very close in power. So I don’t feel it matters to much once a device has an a15 chip or M1 chip if the ram is to low it doesn’t matter. I never will understand owning an ipad pro as the M1 chip is running ipad os not mac os. I think if we saw Iphone switch to M chips then maybe. But apple wont do that as they like to differentiate product lines.

@@JonAdamsTech I’m currently looking at 13 Minis. The only brand new one I’ve seen is a pink one on Apple’s Amazon store, but that’s a “No” from me. With my iPhone, just like my car and Apple Watch, the colour’s very important.

I still very conflicted on whether or not buying the 256gb option is worth the extra money I want the portability of the ipad mini 6 but the base model only having 64gb and the only other option being 256gb creates a huge price gap I want to keep my ipad future proof, I do only intend to use it for school and some side hustles like video editing but I don’t trust myself to not use it for gaming. What should I do?

[@JonAdamsTech]

I always say buy once cry once and get what you think you’ll need. If you go with the lower spec then in a few months you may end up needing that space so you’ll have to sell then spend more money on the iPad you need.

[@xuanyap255]

@@JonAdamsTech Thats exactly what happened to me I bought an ipad 9 with 256gb storage I thought that it would be enough for me since I had plenty of storage then soon enough, I realized I invested on the wrong spec I thought having enough storage was enough for me and as it turns out, the storage is not the only thing I needed I needed more ram, better performance, better apple pencil compatibility and most importantly, PORTABILITY. The Ipad 9th gen is fine but it wasn’t for me and now I ended up listing it up for sale. The Ipad mini 6 checks all the boxes that Im looking for in an Ipad but the price jump of the storage options really makes me hesitant in going that route Thanks to what you said I think I’ll opt for the higher storage option. Having better chipset and all that will be nothing if I don’t have the storage space for the apps that will make use of the processing power of the device

[@williamhammond3998]

@@JonAdamsTech Yeah! The iPad has been a complete game changer. Instead of carrying around a huge bag full of publications/ procedures we can just use the iPad. Not to mention the huge situational awareness boost you get from having ownship enabled, which places an airplane on the map based off of our gps location.

Hi, thanks for the video. Thinking about buying an iPad mini as my first apple device, as being not a fan of apple and iPhones, liked this one for it's size and build quality. Would you suggest to pay extra for 256 gb device or 64 gb is enough? Basically for reading, watching KZbin or other movies and stuff.

[@JonAdamsTech]

If that is all you’re doing on the iPad then 64gb is totally enough!

I was so hoping that Apple would have announced a new iPad mini but alas no sign of it. I thought I will get the newer model. I have a 2020 iPad Pro 11 inch and I love it but I have realised it is huge for my liking so I would rather go for an iPad mini. Currently using an iPhone 12 mini and sad that Apple doesn’t give importance to mini series.

[@JonAdamsTech]

I know, I want all the mini!

[@JonAdamsTech]

Even that old 12 inch MacBook was awesome

[@jawadqaisrani3244]

@@JonAdamsTech I never got the chance to use that. I am still using a 2014 Macbook Pro 13 inch and honestly it serves my needs and works well for me. I was thinking about upgrading to the regular 15 because of all the online hype and I thought perhaps I will get a better battery with all the new bells and whistles but since I am from Pakistan and here the iPhone is far more expensive than the prices you get in US so I decided to stick with my 12 mini as the update considering the price was not really worth it for me. I am thinking about getting a new battery installed.

[@danemowris39]

This video was really helpful. I actually use android but do own a 12.9 3rd gen pro but I never use it because it's too big to carry around. Been thinking about getting the mini for a bit but wasn't sure since in 2024 it is starting to age and rumors of a new one this year. But also isn't confirmed so....I think I'm gonna get one. Type c is a big plus for me as well. Only one cable.

I just brought one. This is my first apple tablet. I have the Galaxy tab S8 Ultra that never leaves my desk because it’s the size of half of a laptop. This is the right size, build quality is nice, OS is smooth and simple despite it not running past 60hz (my OnePlus Open and S23 Ultra are at 120hz), but I do not care. This iPad is awesome. If they come out with a new one I will trade it in if the price is right. But if it is not, I will enjoy this one as if the new one never existed. I will be using it for reading, studying, taking notes, KZbin and browsing the web. I’m impressed!!

3:23 Writing on the iPad feels like writing on paper? Bro, seriously? It feels nothing like writing on paper. Now if you have a screen protector similar to a paper-like, then maybe, but not w/o.

Alright Clint the relatively ok, it’s different but my point was the size feels like writing on something close to the size of a piece of paper and that it’s roughly the same, sheeeeesh. Also I didn’t go back and check what I said so if I’m wrong then chock that up to me being a dummy.

Its a bad idea to recommend to buy a tech product when a new one is literally will be announced next month. There are no leaks in the news right now that point to September. It all points to March. Whether its true or not in the end, its worth to wait it out. No one is so desperate to need it now when one can wait a few weeks to see what the new one is offering.

[@JonAdamsTech]

For the reasons I laid out in the video I don’t think it’s a bad idea.

[@kidcal]

@@JonAdamsTech Its a bad idea when buying tech gadgets for future proofing. The new chip and whatever other new tech updates for the newer models, will make the current iPad Mini 6 seem archaic. Best to wait for end of this month.
