Genuine question: Who actually gets regular use out of their iPad? Or is it just that it’s got a bigger screen than your phone? With so many iPads to choose from at the moment, here’s my reasoning that, actually, the iPad Mini is the only one you need in 2023.

I've used a 12.9" iPad Pro (2018) almost every day since I bought it in 2019. I bought it as a note-taking device for college and work, and now I use it as an e-reader, personal TV at the gym, to play games, and basically as my travel laptop. I use it with the Magic Keyboard sometimes and just a folio case other times. It's one of my favorite devices. EDIT: Yes, all-in, it was about $1,800. I regret nothing.

I’ve been using my 11” iPad Pro constantly since it came out, including upgrading to the M1 version. I use it for everything… Social media, writing and spreadsheets, video editing, photo editing, scanning every piece of paper that comes into my house into Goodnotes and on and on and on. I also bought a used Mini 4 for the other day to see if it seemed useful, and I absolutely love it. I think I’ll upgrade to a Mini 6 but I will still keep the 11 inch as my main desktop workhorse.

@hcohen9087 11 месяцев назад

I could not agree more that the iPad mini is the best choice. I have both the mini and the larger iPad Air. I use the mini 75% of the time. The best part of the mini is that you can hold it easily with one hand which makes it very comfortable to use when you are lying down on a couch or bed. It is so easy to travel with. I am thrilled to hear that Apple is working to upgrade the Mini, which I will definitely consider buying when it is released.

@hurmur9528 6 месяцев назад

I do not agree. But I guess a lot of people would agree with you. But for me I guess it is because I never been that smithen with smartphones even though I use them. And I always like bigger screens. But right now I use a midversion the 10 inch and that one could be a better compromise with a larger screen than the mini but for from the size of a pro. For me mini is just to small.

@Mehwhatevr 6 месяцев назад

@@hurmur9528 To each their own. :) I don't think anyone argues that the iPad mini 6 is the right choice for absolutely everyone or that it's superior in every single way. I think it's like the 13" MacBook&MacBook Air of iPads. any iPad larger than that is probably being used by pros and people who dabble in pro stuff. Or not being used at all. For me, I never used my iPad because of its size. by the time I start carrying around a 10" iPad in a backpack, I might as well just use my laptop. Better performance and better operating system for what I do. I was afraid the iPad mini 6 would be too small, but it ended up being perfect.

@hurmur9528 6 месяцев назад

@@Mehwhatevr Yes I understand your point. But I just do not see it like that. My phone is enough for my day to day use. And I do not want to overuse it so I even have a smaller one than I am comfortable with just because I do not like taking up the phone all the time. My most used screen on leisure is my TV since it is superior in quality to anything else I have. TV is also much more social in a family than the smaller screens. Regarding work it is more complicated. I simple do not want to bring work to my home so I have strict uses there. If I work from home instead at the workplace though I have a job computer. That one I only use for that and only for that. I do not want to mix things up. So in the end I find the 10 inch just enough enough portable and still very user friendly with a connected keyboard (also as a protective shield for the screen since I have kids).

I couldn’t agree more, adding the iPad Mini into my daily lineup has been game changing. Having this, an Apple Watch Ultra (Cellular), and an iPhone 13 Mini (Wi-Fi), I feel like when I’m home my phone just collects dust on my nightstand, and when I’m out and about I have content downloaded to my iPad Mini, have my watch for checking notifications/communicating with people, and my phone only comes out of my pocket on a rare occasion to capture a moment or mindlessly scroll social media for a few minutes. 10/10 recommend the iPad Mini!

I have a 4th gen iPad air, and I use it for… Well, a lot of things. Watching any type of content is perfect on an 11 inch screen, drawing is also really pleasant, nomad sculpt also delivers a great sculpting experience to an iPad (though if you are going to take sculpting seriously, you might consider buying iPad Pro, as, even with my low effort sculpts, it still lags quite a bit). iPad is also amazing for studying: checking your marks, making ToDo lists, reading books and even doing notes and homework. If you want a perfect all-in-one solution to study, watch content and draw/sculpt, I think iPad is a great choice!

@jorelreyes 11 месяцев назад

I gave up on buying the big iPads a long time ago. Just didn't fit my workflow or lifestyle. But the Mini has been my go to since its launch, and is even better now with the pencil to sketch and take notes. It's definitely my go-to for reading comics and ebooks, because I can hold it one handed and not get fatigued like with bigger iPads.

@eddiesinger3912 11 месяцев назад

I got a 12.9 iPad about 2 years ago and barely used it for a while. Then I got the Magic Keyboard and I’ve been using it everyday since then. I honestly couldn’t imagine a day going by without using it. I work from home and mostly use it to time myself to make sure I’m completing tasks in a reasonable time limit. I also am constantly streaming things that aren’t too distracting…… Spotify, Netflix, RU-vid… etc. It’s not feasible to try to use the iPad while working without a keyboard. There are too many steps that come with using it that makes it more of a distraction. Having it with a keyboard puts everything’s within easy reach.

@joelconolly5574 Год назад

That's why I consider 8 inch to be the sweet spot for tablets. Not big to be cumbersome, not small to be a smartphone. Just the right side to do big things on smaller scale. The iPad mini really is the best of both worlds in terms of mobile on the go productivity and online connection.

I’m fortunate enough to own the iPads Air 3, 12.9 M1 and Mini 6. If I could only have 1 I would definitely choose the Mini. My space gray Mini 6 goes with almost everywhere I go and is the one I use most even when I’m at home. Sometimes it’s a bit jarring to go from my other devices with 120 hertz displays to 60 on my Mini but other than that this is the perfect content consumption device for me

@roundkid13 11 месяцев назад

I 100% agree. I’ve tried other iPads but keep coming back to the mini. I have my phone with me all day while I’m out of the house, but once I’m home it sits on my desk. The mini 6 is perfect for me to keep with me as I roam around the house. It’s the perfect size for being online, using social media, reading, or even taking calls of I have to. It really meets almost all my needs. I have a MacBook Air for when I need a laptop, and the mini for when I don’t. It doesn’t pretend to be a laptop like other iPads. Plus it’s great to travel with. It’s small enough to fit in any bag I take and can access all my media so I can connect it to the hotel tvs.

@Steski7 11 месяцев назад

I get your point.. but lets just think logically. Although iPad mini doesnt pretend to be a laptop like other iPads, it pretends to be like iphone pro max or iphone plus but with less advanced cameras. It doesnt have a big retina screen unlike other ipads so videos consuming is not that enjoyable. Yeah, It is super portable because of his size.. but if the philosophy is - the smaller the better - get the iphone mini and you wont even know you have it in your pocket. I really think the only iPad worth of buying is base model ipad 9gen. For less money than iPad mini, you get more real estate for watching videos. So better value for your money. And thats my whole point basically.. in this world, you gotta be smart with your hard earned money.

It’s use is purely recreational. I have a m2 air and iPhone 13 Pro for professional matters. In turn, my iPad doesn’t se any emails, isn’t signed into iMessage, etc. with the 4 being unsupported and getting a bit laggy, a 6 was a no brainer when I saw them for 399 on Amazon. It’s done a great job where the 4 left off. I also got a knock off pencil for $20 and decent folio case to prop it up. It’s seen a little bit of professional use, mostly as a pdf viewer.. but I plan on this one just being another home entertainment device for the next 5-6 years. It’s perfect for what I use it for!

I got a refurbished one that was a pretty old model and now at the end of my second year I don’t know how I lived without it. It hasn’t replaced my laptop for writing lecture notes but the ability to take my iPad into dissections and annotate photos of specimens has been invaluable.

I just wish that Apple would add 120hz and a brighter screen to the Mini - then we’d have a winner! Until then, I’m sticking with my 11” iPad Pro.

I have the iPad mini and I use it every day. It fits in my purse so I bring it to work with me to use as a planner (with the GoodNotes app). I also use it as a notebook for college, as a kindle, its better for watching videos on while laying in bed than my iPhone, and it's the perfect size for games. I absolutely love it!

@DionnaHayden 7 месяцев назад

I use my iPad for everything all throughout the day (read my books, stream movies, shop, hand write in my journal, etc.). Especially for creative work as a graphic artist/designer. I use to have a mini, but I did size up for the drawing screen space.

Couldn't agree more. I know that there are use-case scenarios for larger iPads and iPro Pros, but the one that makes a lot of sense to me is the iPad Mini. :-)

I just purchased a 2022 M2 iPad Pro 11” upgrading from a 2018 iPad Pro 11”. I do digital art and edit my photography on it. Very useful & the mini would be too small for me. I’m also studying at University and will be writing my assignments on it!

@vincentleong9701 Год назад

Using the M2 iPad Pro 11. I use is every day for hours, even more than my MacBook Air. There is just something special about the touch first interface and the easy to use nature of the iPad that makes it great. I also use the Apple Pencil a lot. I can understand professionals who simply don't need and iPad but it is a perfect device for students and on-the-go use.

@toriasummers2670 9 месяцев назад

Great review Pete, thank you. Can I just ask, would you use the iPad mini as an alternative to the Samsung fold five - i.e., alongside an existing iPhone. Clearly you would have two devices but I am trying to figure out whether I should go down the android route and buy fold 5 or stick with my iPhone and get iPad mini - I already have the pro but it is rather heavy. What do you think?

@aerobrain2001 11 месяцев назад

If they could keep the base price but double the storage and add a 120hz screen (I know, very big if!!) I think it would be perfect! Just about passable weight/size wise to be a kindle reader as well

Initially purchased my iPad (9th gen) for reading books and other documents. Now it’s become a MacBook replacement. Due to my wife’s increasing photography and editing hobby. She’s turned it into a part time job! It makes her happy and it gets her outside the home with activities. Later on in the year, I’ll eventually purchase another MacBook Pro.

I currently use an iPad 9 64GB. Chose this as this is a Apple’s most budget-friendly option. As a student, I find it extremely useful to annotate lecture slides directly as opposed to having to carry a laptop, stationary and foolscape papers to class every day. Some lecturers don’t even provide the learning materials in advance. The 4:3 asoect ratio is an outdated screen that really irks me when I wanna watch youtube and movies tho.

I use a Mac Studio as my main computer, the iPad is my portable device.

I really wish they'd come out with an M2 version of the iPad Mini, you know? And if they added an OLED display, it would be a total game-changer for my editing needs when I'm traveling. Imagine the performance boost with that M2 chip, making everything run super smooth and rendering lightning-fast. Plus, the OLED screen would bring those colors to life, with deep blacks and amazing contrast. Seriously, it would be the ultimate travel buddy. Fingers crossed they make it happen!

Of course I can’t install any softwares that run on PC or MAC but that’s what I have a work computer at work in the office.

I use my iPad 6th generation all the time. In fact, I have ditched every other computing device for it (including a dreadful Windows laptop). I’ve been using computers (Windows and Mac but mostly Mac) intensively since 1985 and I find the iPad far better than anything else I’ve used in that time. I use it for writing, banking, internet perusal, video streaming via Chromecast, YouTubing, etc., etc., ad infinitum. It’s very portable and lacks the ‘clunkiness’ of a full laptop. The quality of the screen display is first class. I would have bought the latest iPad Pro 12” except for the poor reviews it has been getting and I’ll wait for Apple to get its act together before upgrading. Laptops are like dinosaurs by comparison. In my view.

2021 iPad Pro 11” here. I bought it to be my book writing device, with the too expensive Magic Keyboard of course. A perfect thing to disconnect me from the usual environment of my work laptop or gaming pc and help me focus on the main thing. Though now after using it for quite a while, I find myself preferring this thing as the take-along device over the laptop on any day. I understand why Apple might never do it, but I would very much like them to bridge the software gaps between the macbooks and the ipads and simply leave it to a “form factor of a choice” decision for the users. I would be the first one to ditch the macbook :D

I got the M1 iPad Pro 12.9 on release day so 2 years ago, and had just retired at 55. I use it every day for media consumption, banking etc. It’s the perfect size for watching videos and reading articles. I had a mini and air but you can’t beat the 12.9 pro. Anything less is a big step down imo.

@greghorsman4102 11 месяцев назад

I carry my iPad mini everywhere I go. It gets used much more than any of the other sizes. Occasionally, it will get low battery and need a charge and I will grab the 11 inch iPad Pro. When that happens, I realize I enjoy consuming video on the larger screen, but as soon as the iPad mini is fully charged again, I put the larger on down and resume with the smaller one. I love that it fits in my pant pocket. It’s just easier and lighter.

@Dogsnark 8 месяцев назад

The Mini has been my only choice since it was first introduced. I currently have a Mini 5 and it’s my most used possession. I use it for nearly everything from entertainment to serious writing and budget keeping. I watch streaming tv on it, I read books, I keep a diary, I listen to music, I watch (and learn from)RU-vid videos on it. I use it at least 5 hours a day. As you say, it’s the perfect size (almost exactly the dimensions of a hard cover book). I don’t usually take it with me out of the house - that’s what my iPhone is for. But at home, it’s the iPad Mini all the way (and only occasionally, my Macbook Pro). If there was a fire and I could only take one thing out of the house with me (other than my pets), it’d be my Mini.

my problem with the surface vs. iOS is they have terrible performance unless you go for the larger 12" model which defeats the whole purpose for me. if I'm going to use a 12-13 inch tablet why not just use a normal laptop? for me tablets are great because they're small, light and the keyboard part isn't permanently attached (or at all, in my case, since I just use a logitech k380)

ve been using the 2018 iPad Pro 11" since its release and absolutely loved it. However, my sons very basic iPad recently zonked out so I decided to snag the new 12.9" M2 and give him my 2018. I will agree that the form factor is a bit wonky in comparison to the 11" or the mini but to be honest once I got over its girth is when my perception completely changed. For me personally I don't think I will be going back (unless a comparable iPad foldable is released) bc to me the iPad mini is very close in size to my iPhone Pro Max. So far there has not been any situations where the size was a disadvantage, in fact it's been advantageous in every way from gaming, video editing, picture editing, browsing the web, multi tasking etc. Also I use a peak design everyday back pack and so when I'm traveling with it my flow has not changed, in terms of weight its negligible as well when stowed away in my backpack. I think if you are the type to walk out the door just carrying your iPad, or the type to mostly sit on the couch and read it like a book or play a game.. Then perhaps the mini or the 11" is the sweet spot. For anything else 12.9"

Also, if you have a MacBook, you can use universal control so your iPad is like a second monitor. Found that out yesterday and I’ve already used it for school assignments and it’s phenomenal.
