i went with the ipad air, because it‘s my first ipad ever. but it‘s a rental and i can totally see myself going mini in the future. the medium size was the safe bet. but if i bring a case and keyboard it‘s roughly the same weight as my macbook air m1. had the ipad for a month now and with the pencil it‘s a dream, i use it for sheet music for jazz sessions as well as lyrics for cover gigs. it‘s such an amazing device that you don‘t know you needed until you own one ❤

Very good, comprehensive review which accurately reflects my own mini use over the last 15 months. I use mine primarily for reading/websurfing/email, movies in bed and for displaying sheet music. The only easily handholdable iPad, and the best option for fast double-thumb typing (when vertical it's easy to hold the sides while typing).

Of course I would love it, but doubt Apple will even introduce it in the next version. It’s just Apple being an Apple.

I currently have a M1 MacBook Air, 12.9 M1 iPad Pro and an iPad Mini 6. I use them all everyday for various tasks. I would love to see the Smart Connector come to the iPad Mini.

Dual iPad user here! 12.9 Pro 5th gen and mini 6. I find I use them both pretty much equally and I tend to have specific use cases for each, with little overlap. I use the iPad Pro 12.9” primarily for work; As a secondary device / display when working or gaming at my desk (Universal Control is great), and my device to get work done (paired with a Magic Keyboard) when away from my desk. I almost never need macOS when away and if I do it’s a TeamViewer connection away. The iPad mini 6 is primarily a consumption device; Podcasts, RU-vid etc. Things I’d do on my iPhone 15 Pro but the small screen makes uncomfortable for longer durations. That’s not to say I don’t use the mini for work. It’s my tertiary display / device at my desk (mostly used as a talking calculator, document scanner, and glanceable calendar / notification screen), it becomes my secondary device / display away from home (performing the same functions plus as a reference screen, since split screen multitasking takes up valuable display real estate on the 12.9”), and I also use it when travelling as the 12.9” is a bit too unwieldy to hold and use in the back seat of a car, especially for longer journeys (I don’t drive, I get driven).

Been using my ipad mini5 for entertainment, browsing, reading and productivity tasks and never had to complain. I paired it with a bluetooth keyboard for improved productivity. I have no need to upgrade at the moment but it'll be nice to have an M-chip ipad mini to see what opportunities are available to take advantage of.

Honestly my biggest issue is the battery life on my iPad mini. I got mine a year after launch, it’s not you just your older device, these things have never held a charge like my iPhone or the bigger iPads. What I think would solve this would be a HomePod/magsafe/iPad base with Standby mode for iPad. The mini is a great home display size, and it would allow it to be always charged. It should a universal base for all iPad sizes. A better display and a faster A series wouldn’t be worth the upgrade from the current model, even if the battery was better.

Duet is an app that can remotely display your Mac OS on iPad. Astropad can turn an iPad into a Mac Mini display. There’s no need to wait for Apple to port MacOS to the iPad. Apple isn’t listening to us. Who was waiting for a “thinner lighter” iPad anyway?

Sounds like you should do a Colab with @Luke Miani for your fix for the button.

If not pro motion, at least 90hz. I just got a mini for Christmas, and the 60hz is my only real complaint. Otherwise I love this device.

Same, I’d settle for 90…and FaceID 😏

Merci pour votre vidéo très argumentée. J’ai échangé avec une excellente reprise Apple mon “iPad pro 12.9” (trop grand à mon goût) contre un “iPad pro 11” mais j’ai acheté ensuite en plus un “iPad mini 6” à titre de test. En réalité, ils sont tous très bons, y compris le petit “iPhone SE 2022” qui a une belle connectivité Internet 5G et une magnifique image vidéo. L’utilisateur doit choisir sa taille préférée, l’iPad mini brille par sa légèreté, sa maniabilité, son excellente performance dans à peu près tous les domaines. Apple a le chic pour sélectionner des spécificités techniques très pointues qui plairont au plus grand nombre. Bien à vous

I love my iPad mini but sometimes it’s painful when I transition from other devices with Promotion like the 12.9 M1 and iPhone 14 Pro, I realize Apple wants to keep the iPad Mini affordable but can’t we come to a reasonable compromise? Maybe 50 dollars more for that feature?

Agree, ProMotion is a stark difference when you have it on other devices.

I never used an ipad, i always use Samsungs tablets, so I decided to order the 65GB version off Amazon for $425, I need a small tablet that can handle streaming and reading, still wondering if I made the right choice and if the price I paid is a good deal
@beardfm

The lower refresh rate on the display will not be as good as an iPad Pro, but it should be able to run it from a power perspective with no issue!

Got SUPER lucky with my mini, bought it for Amazon day the 64GB version, and received the 256gb, and i LOVE IT. the battery really is the only downside of the mini. Hoping for a "pro" version of it at some point. I carry the mini with me everyday, and has almost replaced it with my 11pro
