iPad mini 6 vs iPad 9th Gen: Student's Perspective! 

The Ipad 9th generations offers the best valur among all the Ipads!

I would prefer the iPad 9th gen over the iPad mini 6 as a student because it gives you more value and the iPad mini’s A15 bionic chip has power you actually don’t need as a student. This is just my personal opinion 🙂

I own an Ipad 9th Gen and been using them with the Apple Pencil 1 for uni for nearly 3 months now, the laminated display doesn’t bother me at all when writing and the price is also pretty affordable for a uni student 👍🏽

After having owned and used both the Mini and full sized IPads, I think that many (if not most) students would be better off with the new basic IPad. It is an amazing value, and it’s the one I bought for my daughter to use for college. But I chose to buy a Mini 5 for myself. I spend a lot of time “on the road”, and the Mini 5 (with a keyboard case) makes a great little mini laptop, one which is far more practical for me than a full size Ipad would. My IPad Air is now relegated to my computer desk, where it is hooked up to a monitor and used for video editing. Which IPad is best? As you pointed out, it all depends!

I went with the 9th gen in Silver this time around, but if the iPad Mini 6 was cheaper at like $399, i think I would have gone with it. $450-$499 was a bit too steep for me since I already have the base Model M1 MBA but wanted one of the non-pro ipads for basic stuff and media consumption while lounging in bed.

the ipad 9th gen is really the perfect size and pffers literally everything a student can need i love mine so much

Perfect timing haha. I’ve been binging videos because I need an iPad for taking notes/doing math homework college. The mini would be better in cost after factoring in the accessories/apple care. But I’ve heard of how small it is and how hard it’d be to write for hours long. I was also debating on just getting an old 2018 ipad pro with 64gb since it was around the same price. The reasons I wouldn’t get the iPad is the non laminated display and the pencil 1. I already have a mac air m1 so I would just need an iPad to write a ton with

I don't know what's the deal with "Note-taking". Because I get very solid grades and I never write down anything. (I am in 8th grade so my opinion might be dated to me in a few years. But even for middle school and later, i don't think i would ever have to do Note-taking ever!)

I’ve had a regular size iPad and mini and honestly the mini is the most comfortable and perfect size tablet imo it’s the best choice tablet to get especially if you are only using it for a tablet only

I loved the C. S. Lewis "The Problem Of Pain" book part😀

I have laptop, I just need an ipad that can take written notes and gaming… Imma buy Ipad mini

iPad 9 and 1st gen pencil was $368 street price. Whereas, iPad Mini 6 and 2nd gen pencil would have cost me $628. I went with the former. That said, I did contemplate the iPad Mini 6 for quite some time before going with the iPad 9. I think the 9 was the right choice for the intended use case.

five years ago, I watched one of your videos about taking notes for school using iPad and five years later you’re still making videos from students perspectives . I just wonder about your job. Do you work in a school or something?

I’m watching this on my iPad . I can definitely say it is worth buying.

Thoughtful review. I'm a writer and when I travel I use an iPad ( version 5) with a Logitech keyboard case rather than my laptop. The form factor is much smaller than a laptop, the battery life is great, and the keyboard (although small) is useable. However, I'm thinking about getting an iPad Mini to replace my aging iPad. Why? Because I don't do a lot of serious writing when on vacation and I mostly use the iPad for reading and media consumption. I think that I can gain some packing space in my personal item bag by using a Mini, even if I bring a folding keyboard. As a side note, I was sorry to see that the new iPad (although better) is so much more expensive than the iPad 9. I know that both are available, but I think it can be assumed that this choice will be a temporary option. My daughter works with technology for our large school district and all of the primary kids get an iPad (the district has over 16,000 total students). Not only is the cost of the iPad 10 significantly more expensive, but there is no headphone jack! Guess what, kids in school use headphones. I don't think that the district is going to spend even more money to buy each of them AirPods. I asked my daughter if the district would be concerned about kids losing tiny earbuds and she told me that a greater concern was kids eating them!

Great review, thank you! I've been using iPad mini for years and love the size.. I bought the iPad mini 6 as the battery is going on my mini4.. but I much prefer how the 4 feels in the hand and there really isn't much of a difference in terms of display and speed for things like web browsing. I'll return the mini 6 and either get a new battery for my iPad mini4 or get the iPad 9 as it still has the smooth edges.

Man you deserve to get more views. Plus I own the 9th gen ipad, silver with cellular and keyboard

I literally have loved your videos ever since I got my first iPad but idk how else to say this Your brother dated my boyfriends sister 😂

This is a great video. I learned a lot from what Apple has done to improve the Basic IPad which is great! I have several iPads and my newest is the Mini 6, Purple 64GB w/cellular. I mainly bought it as an upgrade from my iPad mini 5 and I love the on the go and full screen.

I always love the iPad mini, including for studying!

Ipad mini 6 is my dream ipad , i just cant afford it so im gonna go with 9 atleast

Great video! I have subscribed. You did not mention how the stylus charges. I have an iPad Pro 12.9 and the Mini 6. I was looking into getting a second Apple Pencil for the Mini so I don't have to keep remembering to grab my pencil from the pro when I am on the go. This sounds like a better option to save money but still get something that is close to the Apple Pencil. Thank you for suggesting it!

Got the mini 6 5G $100 USD off so for $91 dollars more than the 9 LTE I went for the mini 6 5G.

this doesn’t relate to the video but that facial hair and cap SUITS you

But one major difference is laminated and non laminated display, how it may affect the writing experience especially when taking notes.

Budget wise, 9th gen is amazing.

Dumped my iPad for the Samsung galaxy tab s7, which is much more useful. But I do like the Mini 5. Mini 6 jelly scrolling effect was irritating and it costs too much for what it is

I have a 2 and a half year old base model MacBook Pro so I can live without a larger iPad. I currently use an iPad mini 5 but I’m seriously considering upgrading to the 6

CS Lewis and Herodotus 👌🏼

using 8th gen 128gb….fully satisfied ❤

Viendo desde mi iPad 9.

The mini is better in every way except size. iPad Air it is then.

what is the note app name that you are using on iPad mini brother?

I love the Mini ! Tiny & Powerful, and I’ve seen the Mini 6 as low as $399. But, the iPad 9 (the one I own), I bought for $269 ! I’m not a student, but wanted a tablet for streaming TV/Movies, Social Media and basic Browsing. I love the iPad 9, especially for the price 😎👍

Hi, where did you get the hub?, is it optimal for iPad Pro since it has a Thunderbolt port?

Wait so the iPad mini dosent have like a built in keypad like an iPhone does ? So I would have to buy a stylist or an extra item to be able to type ? So I can only read off the iPad min and not type if I don’t have a stylist or a keyboard that attaches to the iPad ? Someone please reply .

Thank you for sharing gyour experience. Please what are the applications that you use for taking notes? Thank you and Happy year2024

But if small size is the issue the mini wins!!

i have ipad 9

I use the ipad 9 for college notes in conjunction to my laptop (which I use for typing). I got the ipad 9 as a gift ,it’s my first apple device,(tho I took a chance and bought the gen 1 pencil used for like $40 so I really I am going the budget route) My only complaint about the pencil it the fact that the cap has to be taken off for charging, even it’s round rollable design can be fixed with a pen grip(I use the grip of an actual pen on this lol)

I ordered a Penoval from your link. I might mention that the Penoval AX model has been added (updated for 2022) for about $12 more. There isn't a good explanation about what that model includes over the original A4, but after translating a site from Taiwan, it seems to have more battery, and possibly more lights showing how much charge is left?

Which one is better in games and the longest playing time

iPad mini 6 or iPad 10 good for university

I have to choose between the iPad Air (used the have the first gen. iPad Air years ago) and the iPad mini 6th gen, as a replacement for our ipad mini 2nd gen. I think I would love the bigger screen when I am working on it for example in split mode (but i don't know how often I would even use it to work on it as I usually use my macbook pro 2019 for work) but I love how small and LIGHT the ipad mini is. A very very hard decision... For now love the ipad Mini 2! Use it for reading in bed in the evening (love how light it is), for watching Netflix, Apple+ oder Disney+ in the train when I am out to my way to work and the kids use it for school and to play apps.

Just got Hoka sneakers this summer and they feel great!

Who is better ipad Air4 or ipad mini 6 for students? ILike the small but it Display is smaller

Thank you. You help me to take a decision

is too late to ask for a microsoft surface laptop studio review? hahahaha I'm a college student but also an artist and currrently stuck as to which I should get :'>

Hello may I ask what mouse do you recommend for the ipad?

I want more your videos!!!

The internals of the ipad 9 is actually quite new

hi! can i verify that the penoval linked in ur description is compatible with ipad 9th gen? because the amazon listing only indicates compatibility for the base ipad series up to the 8th gen.

I am planning to get an iPad mini and a dumbphone woth mobile hotspot to replace my current iPhone.

I miss 11inch macbook air

HIPSTER

What keyboard case are you using on the 9th Gen?

Super informative video Harris! Nice to see you back! Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving also! I always learn something new when watching your videos! Mark in Iowa.

mini supports pencil and that's ALL

Thanks for the review. I went with the iPad 9th.... The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis... Great choice

Nice video , usefull for me

Hello! What is the best iPad for video editing?

Thank you for your review!👍👍

Excellent video 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

what mouse you use with Ipad?

Straight to the point thanks

How do you edit your videos?

how does one get a student discount

how did you change the color of pencil 2? black is very cool

The huge variety of productivity uses for the Mini demonstrates how versatile it can be. A Master of Non - But Good at a lot of stuff - Find by me!!! I bought an iPad Mini Cellular 9 years ago. I do not browse with it - I'm an adult -so I use my 14" laptop to browse and an Apple TV for viewing. After 9 years of ownership - I use my Mini almost exclusively when I "TRAVEL" - to do the following (otherwise it sits in a drawer) #1- as a GPS unit in my vehicles - the best GPS ever (70%) That's after over 150K miles of road trips - when I need a GPS for town use - my iPhone works fine. #2 - as a Sidecar or mirror screen to view video paired with a M2 MBA (25%) #3 - as an eReader (4%) #4 - the odd miscellaneous task (1%) This might change with the pencil. I will likely buy the new Mini 7 when it comes out later this year. The Mini is simply a great portable complimentary device that sits between an iPhone & Laptop (my MBA M2 being my favourite Apple product)

Thank you! 👍🏻

Good Looking guy I'm a fan now ♥️

While praising the cheap pen you didn’t mention how it charges or if it has pressure sensitivity. If it doesn’t charge like apple pen and doesn’t have pressure sensitivity then it’s showing you have no respect for your audience.

where do I find that pen for some reason none of them have that magnetic strip you have

First I guess. Greats from Germany
