Why Apple needs to make the iPad mini 7!

If Apple release an iPad Mini 7, then my local retailer could probably discount the remaining stock of iPad Mini 6 machines, and I'd probably pick up a 6 Mini. So...yeah...bring on the iPad Mini 7!

I use about 10 different Apple products every day. The iPad Mini 6 is EASILY my favorite one to use. Thankfully, the last redesign was really forward, thinking, so it is not quite outdated yet. But I really hope Apple continues to invest in this product and refreshes it soon!

I just picked up the mini 6 a week ago for the second time. My first time I purchased it I didn’t recognize the greatness of it. Now that I start taking college courses to get my master’s degree it is definitely a game changer for taking notes and reading my ebooks.

The iPad mini 6 is the reason I found your channel and became a fan of yours. When doing research in 2021 about whether I should buy one I came across your first iPad mini review. And have loved your channel ever since. You also beat me to the point I was going to make. The iPhone 13 mini was and always will be my most loved Apple product. I still haven’t quite recovered from the death of it 😂 all I can say is, as my second most loved Apple product, if Tim Cook kills off the iPad mini, that will be the end of my iPad journey. No other iPad fits my needs or my lifestyle. The form factor is the reason I have used my iPad mini every day since 2021. PLEASE Apple, keep the iPad mini alive!! And thank you Mark for all your reviews and love of the iPad mini 😅🩷🍎

[@parster2010]

Got rid of my Mini 6 last year because I didn’t think I’d need it. It has been got again. It’s an ideal bedside tablet.

[@CED.Dweller]

I saw the title and recognized that you and I are in sync on the Mini. I WISH that Apple would make a Mini Pro, but I won't hold my breath. I migrated to the iPad Pro 13-not upgraded because I miss the smaller form factor-and realized that I truly miss the Mini's size when packing gear, using on the fly and sharing with family.

I own 3 pads, and the mini is by far the one I reach for most. It is also the ideal size for travel - along with a small BT keyboard. Mine is having trouble keeping a charge, but I am babying it along until the end of the year to see if Apple takes (all of our) excellent advice about an update. It doesn't have to be fancy, just bring us up to 2024.

I originally bought the iPad Mini 6 after watching one of your videos Mark back in 2022. It’s what initiated my transition away from Windows to Mac and I use the iPad Mini everyday and since the introduction of Universal Control, it’s been a great “on the go” second monitor. Thanks for posting, and obviously, joining you in solidarity for the release of the iPad Mini 7 😁

I’ve got the Series 5, and I’m waiting VERY impatiently for the new one. I watched your video suggesting that people just buy the 6 instead of waiting but, if I’ve waited this long, I can wait a bit longer … probably, Thanks, as always, for the content.

[@manny6522]

I have the latest mini and an 11" iPad Pro (2 M chips). The mini is my going-to-bed iPad as well as my first-the-in-the-morning iPad. The mini is also the iPad I put in my knapsack when I'm going out into the world. I'm very happy with it. In terms of possible upgrades, make the display better. The current display is perfectly fine, but the display on my 11" iPad is truly dazzling.

[@taedreams1917]

I currently have the iPad Air 2022 rn. I bought it last year been using it a lot and realized that I need something more smaller to plan, game and watch videos, and iPad mini looks perfect for me, I love mini things. I’ve been patiently waiting till they dropped the new iPad 7, I literally cannot wait any longer for it 😂

[@Cute_Maxi]

Perfect iPad mini would be the following: - slightly larger 8.9in 90hz single stack OLED with “Liquidmotion” (24-90hz variable) - A16 Bionic or newer chipset - 8gb RAM (for Apple intelligence) - 128gb, 256gb and 512gb storage options - 48mp rear camera sensor (same as iphone se4) - face id front camera in landscape orientation - support for apple pencil pro - more vibrant color options - ultra thin and light keyboard folio accessory - some sort of matte screen option, but not the nano texture… something more like the steam deck oled’s matte surface to keep costs down.

[@connection_token]

May I add to your list and say keep fingerprint reader as well. Love the matte idea you have. Love it very much

[@crashn2me105]

Wrong.............. PRICE, it should be the cheapest iPad !

[@MichaelBrandvold]

Yes I want a Magic Keyboard for my mini 6, there is just no great keyboard option and I have tried 2-3 different one. Perfect setup… Mini 7 with a M1 chip. Magic Keyboard… it could even be without a trackpad. I find that with the small size of the mini when I do use a keyboard it is convenient to just use the touch screen. On my IPad Pro m4 the trackpad is a must. My iPad Pro and mini are the ONLY devices I use. I fully replaced my MacBook Air a couple years ago. No need for a laptop.

[@PilotEdgar]

I have lots of apple products and I can confidently say that iPad mini is my favorite product!

[@JayTheCyborg]

About a year ago I made the jump from the large ipad Pro to an ipad mini 6, and I have actually carried the iPad mini with me the way I thought I would originally carry the iPad Pro. It was great around the house but taking it anywhere felt like carrying a laptop and really had to plan to travel with it. I do miss some of the pro features but the iPad mini is the true iPad experience that Steve had in mind when first launched. I know they won’t give us what we want but pro chip, access to pro apps, brighter and better screen, and maybe a bit smaller bezels would make this the absolute perfect device.

[@tomoharu588]

I've had my ipad mini 6 for two years now and still a favorite! I am a teacher and I just bring it if I only need to discuss topics with ready presentations. I can have it with me if I am travelling and I can do basic work things. I also have the iphone 13 mini with it!

[@jmharper60]

I love my mini, and use it a lot more than I did my iPad 6. 95% use it for content consumption, very occasionally for writing. The battery is starting to show its age, but otherwise no complaints! The new, much larger iPad pro’s are tempting, but I have been able to resist- so far…

[@techhubwiltsuk]

Big iPad mini fan here and a Magic Keyboard for it would be genius

[@kennethhumphrey952]

I have the iPad mini 5 and feel it is the perfect travel companion. It doesn't need a keyboard because you can type on it like the phone. I tried a keyboard case and it made it more uncomfortable to carry and the typing experience wasn't that great. I bought an Apple Pencil with it but now it is dead. I originally got the pencil to draw but the mini is a little small for this purpose. I would just get a generic pencil for taking notes. When I bought the mini it cost more than the base model iPad even though they were pretty much the same. I like the mini's size it is easy to carry and hold like a book. It is great for editing video and pictures. Unless you like to draw I don't think you need a bigger iPad. I don't feel I need anything else. I wish it had more memory, better battery life, and was more affordable.

[@convo]

Ipad Mini forever!!!❤

[@5310publishing]

In May, I ordered both the new 11-inch iPad Air and the iPad Mini 6 to choose, and I absolutely loved the Mini. However, I had to return it because it’s a 3-year old device! 3 months later, I regret keeping the 11-inch iPad, am trying to sell it, and will buy the Mini 7 as soon as it is released. Apple, please bring the Mini back!

[@os2171]

Huge iPad mini user here. Is the only iPad I care about. I owned a mini 2, I’m using the 5 I want the 6 but I prefer a 7h Gen

[@MrDWeb22]

I love the portability of my mini 6. My main is an M4 11 inch pro, but the mini holds its own for my needs. My wishlist - 90 hz refresh rate - continued Apple Pencil 2 support - longer battery life - A18 chip - Slightly slimmer bezels - OLED or mini LED - 512GB option I’d totally pay the difference to have those in a smaller form factor.

[@sloppynyuszi]

My mini 6 is a few years old. Still works great! I have my M4 pro for all the performance stuff, so right now not really excited for it.

[@colinstock325]

I have an iPad Mini 5 and an M1 iPad Air. My iPad Mini 5 still gets more use than the Air. The Mini 5 is still very useable, so the Mini 6 wasn’t worth getting. The Mini 7 is a different story and I am waiting for the 7 to upgrade. I also have an iPhone 13 Mini and you are correct it is the perfect size.

[@philcrawford325]

I've been waiting for about a year for the iPad Mini 7. I want it as an e-reader. My iPad Pro is too big for that and my iPhone is too small. I haven't bought the iPad Mini 6, because I hear it has the problem of 'jelly scrolling', which is not good if you want to read books on it. I understand that it has four grills, and only two have speakers behind them, so what are the other two for? Well, I don't need speakers when reading books, I suppose. Although my intended use is specifically for reading e-books, I shouldn't be surprised if the iPad Mini 7 would become more used than my iPad Pro, so it would probably become my main iPad. I wonder if, instead of an iPad Mini 7, what Apple might release is an iPad Mini Air.

[@kjvasquez]

Portability beats power, big iPad and iPhone mini fan here. I currently have an iPhone SE 2022 for work and it is perfect as secondary device (for personal use and photos I use my S23 Ultra), my iPad Mini is my on the go work device, it does it all: Teams, Email, Remote Desktop, Office 365. I simply love it, totally waiting for iPad Mini 7

[@samanthahieber4777]

Honestly, the ipad mini is the iPad we've had the longest. My husband and I have been married since 2016 and I bought my iPad mini in 2015. It's survived moves between homes and even states. It's just a great machine. It's not supported anymore as you can imagine so I'd like to see a new version just to bring us back from that era into the new one.

[@01melby]

Loved mine, recently upgraded to a refurbed M1 Pro because I wanted the better screen and slightly larger screen estate, but really wanted to keep it as it was just easy to pick up and use. Great take on the wisdom of an IPad mini 7 though

[@waynehabig5058]

Completely agree. I desperately need to upgrade and I want to upgrade to mini 7 but I’m getting REALLY TIRED of waiting, not knowing.. the silly incognito marketing games Apple play around releases.

[@MrHaydnSir]

when i was younger - a teen - and my mom got a mini, i didn't understand why you would choose the mini over a larger screen option now as i approach the end of my 20s i couldn't want one more - the boxy form factor is a major selling point, but also the light and portability aspect i can only imagine that the iPad mini with AirPods Max would be the ideal travel companion (flight wise)

[@jaroncole1088]

Literally watching this on my iPad mini 6. ❤ Just need to update base storage to 128gb and smaller bezels. I have to cellular and just find it convenient for going out to coffee shops to read, write, and consume content aside from my phone. Would love if also they add the M2 chip for the capability of stage manager portably aside from my M4 iPad Pro.

[@brucechandler9484]

I usually keep an iPad Pro 11 and the mini 6 in my tech device lineup but ever since buying the M4 iPad Pro 11 with the OLED screen and that very impressive thin body I found that I was using the mini 6 a lot less often so I sold it to an online website. I still have all of the cases for the mini 6 and hopefully if the mini 7 comes out and can fit in those cases I may get another one BUT it would have to have promotion, an M chip and OLED screen on it or I'll pass

I am a huge ipad mini fan and would really like to have the mini continue. My wife loves it. It genuinely did improve her reading and studying for uni. It's everyone's favourite device in the house ❤

[@jasecola]

I'd be happy to see a magic keyboard for the iPad mini. I really love the iPad mini for a lot of reasons, but travel is definitely one of them. I don't need a perfect typing experience, just something better than the onscreen keyboard and something that attaches nicely for moderate typing needs. Right now I use the Logitech keys-go 2, which is actually pretty great and works well for use on lap or when laying in bed as you can prop the iPad up using it's folio onto the the folded out lid of the keyboard, but it's still a separate, disconnected item. It's not a bad solution and I can certainly live with it, but a magic keyboard would be great.

[@Testimony201]

Apple would love if you bought an iPhone and an iPad Mini. I love the iPad Mini. If the iPad mini gets M1 or M2 chip that would be way to get me into the door to get one. Yeah the A17 Pro is fast af with Ray tracing but it won’t support the M series chip Applications.

I love iPad Mini. It’s perfect companion to my iPad Pro 13, which has replaced my laptop for home usage (work is different story obviously).

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

I’ve had a Mini 6th gen since launch and it’s SO perfect for my use case. But I’ve recently given up hope on a decent upgrade (an iPad Mini Pro with a decent screen and faster processor) and jumped to the iPad Pro 11”. Which is probably exactly what hat Apple wanted me to do 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@PointWithin]

I love the iPad Mini. It has proven to be the perfect iPad for me. Size, utility and pure convenience. When the 7 comes out I’ll watch all of the reviews and wait until decent cases and screen protectors are available and then trade in my 6 and upgrade *Plus the iPad Mini has to be updated to become compatible with Apple Intelligence

[@kcuzz99]

The original iPad mini felt like a toy and was missing features so I ended up never using it. But this most recent iPad mini is fantastic and I use it all the time! It’s the perfect size to toss in a bag or lounge about on the couch or hammock and it has the perfect form factor for so many productivity tasks. I just want it to be more “pro” so that it can do more! Smaller bezels, thunderbolt 4 capabilities, higher refresh rate, faster performance M1 or better!

[@user-gd2zi2fn1x]

Absolutely love to see mini 7 so useful

[@mb-watches]

I would right now have an iPad mini, if Apple would offer a Smart Folio Keyboard. I have a MacBook Pro 14 and also an iPad Pro 13“. Carrying both with me is a hustle. I like the iPad for mail, content planning, bullet points, content consumption, foto editing and also journaling. Of course the 11“ would do the job but still I would prefer the size factor of the mini. But I need a small and easy keyboard. No problem if it’s smaller, I’ll get used to it. But that would be a game changer

[@rubychan9035]

I used to have a iPad mini, but the on screen keyboard blocked like 60% of the screen and I found it very annoying when typing a long message. I loved its small size and hope it will get an update. I am sure the new version would have a chip good enough to feature Apple intelligence, and probably supports Apple Pencil pro.

[@HAL-vu8ef]

I use both the iPad Pro and the mini. I take the mini overseas on holidays because I hike with it and the pro is too big and expensive. Have the cash waiting for a new mini. Playing online chess on the iPad mini is very satisfying.

[@AnthonyNeedsTech]

the iPad mini is what an iPad should be. only reason why i have the M4 iPad Pro 11 inch is because of OLED. i have my iPad mini to my daughter and whenever i go and grab it….i fall in love with love with it again. it’s genuinely the best iPad. i would seriously consider going back to it if it gained OLED and had a magic keyboard. i don’t do much on my iPad Pro but the OLED is key along with the magic keyboard. i use this as my main computer, i don’t have a need for an actual computer since i don’t do anything other than check for emails, youtube, tv and etc.

It’s great.

[@heartSLB]

They need to update it urgently. What I want the most is for the base model to have at least 120GB of storage. I´ve decided to get an iPad Mini 6 months ago and I'm keeping my eye open for this much requested new model to come out.

[@user-zw1yv9ic8e]

Never realized how much I love my mini until recently when I’ve started to use more handwritten note-taking. The 11” iPad Pro is good, but the mini just feel more natural in my hands. Another reason for hopefully a mini 7 is the I Pencil Pro. I guess I still use the 11” because of the nice features of the pencil Pro with app like Goodnotes.

[@hey_bucklebob]

Love this size of device. I was dual wielding an iPhone mini and iPad mini for many years and just made the jump to a folding Android phone (Oppo Find N2). I agree that it feels unlikely that Apple will making a folding iphone, or at least, not soon. So it would be a shame to see a device with this footprint discontinued.

I have the mini 5 still. For my line of work I'm on the road a lot and it's just the perfect size for portability. Its screen is perfect for watching shows while I'm on flights or in bed at a hotel. I've been waiting for the mini 7 to come out to upgrade again. The biggest thing I'm excited about in the upgrade is getting dual speakers in the 7 versus the speaker set up in the 5. I hope battery life will improve at least a little bit too.

[@johnboychak5063]

I completely agree with everything you said, especially about a Magic Keyboard for the mini 7. Would be nice to have the an M series chip (M1 or M2 maybe) which could make it a Pro Mini or Mini Pro. Come on Apple, get off your “bum” and make it happen. Hopefully this year. Thanks for this video!

[@impulsesystems]

Thanks for the video. I agree with your comments, and wishes for an iPad Mini update, but not for all the same reasons. My partner is still using iPad Minis from several years ago. They are a good size for travel and reading books. No need for more speed, pencil etc. I am now using an e-ink tablet for reading [inside and outside in the sun] and for note-taking. iPad Mini will not replace this. For watching content when traveling though, Foldable phones are a fairly new market segment. Prices are increasing each year but actual sales are not huge. Hardware is still unreliable. Do we really need to stuff them into our pants? For this reason, I don't see Apple making a folding phone any time soon. Screens are not reliable enough and prices are too high for many people. You can buy 3 iPad Minis for the price of one foldable phone, right now!

[@MrHaydnSir]

my future wants are an iPad mini and AirPods Max .. but until they're both upgraded so i can get them at the start of their regeneration cycle, i'll be waiting my wants: - an iPad mini with an M-chip - even if it's just the last stock of the M1, it would just strengthen and prolong the longevity of the mini's lifespan - i'd also love it to have a headphone jack but i guess i can live without; it's just this is where i'd be more likely to use it - how much space can they really be saving without it - AirPods Max with USB C, an on/off button, and a better - or no case

[@ianramos8503]

Only thing I need to improve my iPad mini is a 120 hz display. Maybe a faster processor but it does everything I need it for which is watching KZbin, tv, etc. reading books and comic books. Some social media and browsing the web. Basically just having a 120 hz display would be nice but besides that I absolutely love mine. But I hope they don’t kill off the iPad mini like you say because I love mine so much.

I love what you do so I'm not a hater, so no worries from my side, back to the iPad Mini 6, I got the mine at launch date back in time, it's a brilliant travel companion, still use it on a more or less daily basis, not really sure it's really need an update unless you are a heavy gamer or something else, who knows? No keyboard needed, if you get used with the pen there's no need for any clumsy keyboard, that's my view.

[@keithrichards9316]

I like this video your views are straightforward and direct without all the gimmicks and theatrical nonsense. I started out with the iPad mini four and I went to the mini five I'm currently with the mini six and hoping for the mini seven. I'm sure they won't turn it into a pro product, there's enough of that out there already. I'd like you said for its size convenience and flexibility. It doesn't need much more than an upgraded processor larger memory so that can handle AI and other updated services as far as a folding product goes until you can figure out how to fold a glass screen without leaving a crease and give it to durability of glass so you don't damage it with a fingernail until then I don't think Apple will bother with it. Which is fine with me. Foldable fits a bragging rights niche not much else than that. Thank you for doing the video.

[@hhoebeke1]

Great video - and oh yes please bring it this year... My wish list: I would actually like it to become an 'Air Mini' - it does not need the absolute latest anf fastest, but an M series to get the full functionality, a promotion display, a smart connector and a Magic Keyboard (preferably one that keeps the footprint small (so no kickstand) although I could live with it), a charging port in the keyboard and lastly - I has to be compatible with the Apple pencil pro... the mini needs the squeeze.. big hopes - but it would be the ultimate portable powerhouse...

[@dexterie]

We SURE need a new iPad mini. It’s the best iPad I’ve ever had (and I had a few 😅). It’s really convenient and it has the best size for a smaller tablet. We just need a better display (OLED, pretty please) and some fancier internals. Call it iPad mini 7, iPad mini Play (because, let’s face it… it’s media consumption device) but give it to us!!

[@TheNetflixNook]

I love my iPad mini 5. I’d love a 6 for sure but currently can’t justify the cost and have fallen hard into the “the iPad mini 7 is right around the corner” No shade to my 5 though.

My prefect setup would be a mini with 1 or 2tb of storage and a keyboard of some kind. Not necessarily the Magic’s keyboard but some kind. Also a 12hz display. That would cause me to upgrade very quickly.

I have a 15 Pro Max, 11” IPad Pro, 14” MacBook Pro, and the iPad Mini 6. If you told me i could only keep one device I would give everything up to keep the iPad Mini.

Sure, my iPhone is always in my pocket but if the Mini is laying around, that’s what I am using for almost everything I can.

We love it, i think you need to own one first to really understand why we love it so much. I really do hope for new updates this time ✌🏻

I love my iPad mini, but the next model needs a much brighter display. It’s not good enough for using outdoor.

I feel the delay is because the mini will really disrupt all the others. I love my mini 6, but it doesn’t have enough power to really be fully productive in 2024. If it had the power of the modern chips, then stage manager would be supported and that would make it the perfect power device on the go. Imagine plugging it into a full monitor! As an MacBook Air fanboy, I would simply stop carrying that around and simply move to the mini as my daily driver (for productivity based work).

imagine the ipad mini being a mac mini replacement when docked sort of like samsung does with dex

[@thread_astaire]

Yes I’m a lover of the mini. I wish I could run it as a phone.

I’m always said that the iPad mini might be apple’s most perfect device! I have owned the iPad mini 2, the iPad mini 4 and the iPad mini 5. I’ve had them all and loved them all. The only reason I haven’t gotten the mini 6 because the price increase to $500 😬 but, When the mini 7 does finally come out, I will consider getting the mini 6, because the price will be really good. Currently I have the iPad Pro 11 inch and absolutely love it, But it does not have the portability of the iPad mini, and that’s what makes the mini so great! The way that I would consider getting the mini 7, if it’s a PRO model, Which unfortunately, I don’t think Apple will make a PRO version of the mini. But one can dream 😂👍

[@alexquinton5462]

I have decided I want one a while ago but for now I will wait for a new one to come out.

[@Peand-eL]

we need 120hz OLED on it and at least M1 chip

[@Eva_H]

iPad mini with current iPad Air internals and if not an M2 due to cost, throw in an M1 and happy days, I’d buy one if Apple were to do this.

[@adamburke4738]

iPad Mini DOES NOT need an overpowered SOC.

[@theparadoxray]

It is also a very good gaming device if Apple update the processor and screen refresh rate. When you pair it with the Razer Kish Ultra, it’s like a big Nintendo switch.

[@MikesVegas]

Now see, again, when it comes to iPhones, I have the 2020 SE, basically the old iPhone 8, and I absolutely love the size of that. What’s crazy is that the iPhone 12 and 13 mini had a smaller body than the SE but a larger display and I was considering buying one, but again, has dismissed the iPhone mini. 🤔

[@stinkypenguin]

I’ll buy the next one if they make it. I want an iPad mini but don’t like how old the current one is.

[@craigdianesmith]

I wish they could fix the icon spacing and sizing on the mini as well as add an m series chip

[@trebor1745]

I have a IPM6. Had a 5, and briefly a 4. Always with me. Car mounted on the A pillar working as a GPS, on the desk as a 'lookup device', in the bathroom as, well, if you have a IPM, you prolly know. Etc. There are however, IMHO, many reasons to adapt the IPM to horizontal mode. (position of buttons, taking full advantage of speakers, etc.) The A15 chip is sufficient, but more is better (on the inside...) Ideally, it would also come with a MagSafe charger, thus freeing up the 'C' port (ports ?) for peripherals, and a highly upgraded camera. All that said, I'd buy a new one. And I'd be willing to pay a little more, too. Bob

only 3 things i want for mini 7 (if it exists) are : 1.fix the jelly screen 2.upgrade to M chip. M1 is fine (I know it's old but better than A series ngl) 3.90-120 hz please apple. just these 3 things iPad mini fans would be happy!
