I'm the youngest of 3. The "baby" of the family 🤣 Guess I'm lucky. My sister is 16 years older than me and my brother is 10 years older than me. So a big age gap between siblings.

I very much agree with the reviewer about the iPad mini size in such an ergonomic manner that it provides a very good balance between engaging with your device while giving room for open social engagement at the same time. It avoids the personal isolation when using an iPhone and even "movie mode" in an iPad Pro . It's so perfectly right in size

I picked one up and so far I love it. Just the perfect size for watching videos, playing games and reading. I also wanted something I could take with me easily when traveling.

One of the best reviews I have ever seen: engaging, informative and humorous. Unfortunately this review has convinced me that I need (want?) an iPad Mini!

Just bought my iPad Mini 6 this evening. I have an iPhone 12 Pro and MacBook Air M1 so I think this will fit right in the middle (as you’ve stated in your review). I’m definitely looking at it serving as my media outlet when I’m chilling in bed or on the couch. Netflix, Disney+, social media or browsing the web etc to give my iPhone a break from always being used for KZread, Twitch and the other streaming services and I’ll definitely get some note taking in with the Apple Pencil 2. Definitely excited to receive it.

It's always a pleasure to listen to Dieter all the time!

I played with this and the Air and ended up going with the Air. I just like the screen size better and the M1 processor. I had a Mini years ago and I loved it, but really wanted to get a full-size iPad. I don’t regret not getting the Mini. Its a great little tablet, and I think it’ll make any average consumer very happy.

I adopted the iPad as my main computer in 2016, the first Pro pushed me over the edge. Without a work laptop a 13" screen was a great compliment to my desktop for meetings an travel. Since then I have been given a 13" laptop and the mini has been my favourite computer since late 2019. This updated model means I now only need one pencil which is nice and I can use all my USB-C accessories. This might spell the end for my 2018 12.9 Pro.

I really like this perspective, thank you! I’m debating getting this as my ‘phone’ or device I carry when I’m sitting at home, then go out with a smaller device.

I’m getting one, and time will tell but I think it’ll work great for content consumption on trips/around the house, but I also intend to use it for some quick photo editing in the field during landscape photography trips. It’ll be easier than using my phone, but will fit in just about any camera bag (unlike the behemoth pros).

I love the size for exactly the same reasons as yours! Perfect complement for my old small iPhone 8 and my full computers (like my MacBook Air M1). Use it for all things that is not work or phone calls.

Love the honesty and logic opinions , thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing 👍🏻😊

If ever I could afford this. It’s a perfect compliment for my iphone SE 2 for phone stuff then this for content consumption and games.

I can’t wait for mine. I’ll use this as a screen for my flying my drone. Perfect for editing my 4K videos on the go. Been waiting for so long. £256 in Purple ! 🤤

Great review Dieter! I’m definitely going to consider this for work to take notes on. I currently use my iPad Pro but with the keyboard it’s almost too easy to get work done instead of interacting with people - like you said Love your work ✌️

I want this specifically to read manga. It’s finally the perfect size.

I've been using the iPad Mini 6 since launch day last week. It's a lovely machine with meaningful upgrades. I like that because the aspect ratio has changed that videos in widescreen are now bigger and the borders are smaller. I've not noticed the jelly scroll issue with my unit. Also very strange to see flash paired with a good camera on unit. It works great as a torch!! (there is now actually a shortcut for this when you swipe from the top right like iPhones).

Excellent review @backlon. Thanks!

i'm getting one of these soon. i used to have an old 3rd gen ipad, which was great, but even as i grew it was just too big and heavy for me. i know the new ipads are lighter and thinner now but the overall footprint is basically the same and isnt a device i feel comfortable tossing into a bag or carrying in one hand. i recently got an old 2nd gen mini off of ebay for cheap to try out, and needless to say, i love the form factor. i can be so much more productive with it than i can with my phone, but still have the portability and convivence of something smaller than my laptop. not to mention that it actually fits into my baggy sweatpants pockets. and since it has the newest, insanely powerful A15 chip, i have no doubt that this tablet will last be a very very long time.

Kinda funny how people always yell around and say that the iPhone needs multi-window support but then on the iPad mini they say it's too small for good multi-window usage. And the iPad Mini has almost twice the screen size.

Excited to get mine for creativity projects on Snapseed, Canva & iMovie paired with a USB SSD. Perfect size to hold with one hand and Apple Pencil in the other, pop in my bag on a bike ride around town. Ordered purple to match my bike colour!

So many of the complaints are levelled squarely at the software -- which is totally valid. That Apple still hasn't implemented some of the most basic features (like family profiles) is baffling.

The appeal of the mini is being able to palm it. It's very lite & much easier to hold for an extended time than the Pro or Air. If you're watching videos on the couch or toilet, which we all do, it's a great size.

I love your reviews. Keep up the good work. 👍

I'm glad someone else sees this device the same as I do. I love it primarily for reading (news, books, comics) and games, but it's nice that it's capable of other things too.

I have an iPad Air 2 and I feel like this is a good replacement, I want something smaller but also new and fresh. I don’t use my iPad for work purposes I just use it to watch content

Agree on the split-screen in portrait mode. Wish Apple would allow this on their iPads 🙏🙂

Don’t forget to use setting “Home Screen and Dock” to make icons LARGER

This is the device I’ve wanted since the beginning of the pandemic and the start of working primarily from home. Now that work calls happen exclusively on my mobile phone, and I don’t have to be tethered to my desk, I take a lot more calls while walking through the neighborhood. And in my business, there are a lot of calls. It’s great to have something easy to hold that can slip easily into a back pocket or jacket pocket that’s connected to cellular so I can actually do some basic cloud computing while I’m strolling about. I know that’s a random use case for most people, but it’s a big quality of life thing for me. I ordered immediately after Apple’s keynote and have been enjoying it a lot. It fits into my work life exactly as I had hoped, and its also an excellent evening device for watching movies, reading the news, etc. It is also a much better media consumption device to pair with my laptop when traveling. My previous tablet, an 11” iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard was almost the same size as my 13” laptop, and it added a lot of bulk to my bag.

Very nice review by Dieter ❤️. I just love his work and now waiting for Pixel 6 series review

New iPad Mini with a practical size will certainly make it easier to use at work, I really like it.

i really wish you could do top and bottom split screen in iPadOS even on my 12.9 pro it would make portrait mode splitscreen actually usable

I hope Google treasures this man as much as the Verge and its viewers has.

Excellent review thanks!

interesting review i hope you can upload a video analyzing and giving your opinion on the 9th ipad for university use and illustration

im contemplating getting one purely as a second display for my mac, frequently need to switch between documentation and my main programs or I'll be working away with a youtube video in PiP, would be great having a small but readable second screen to move them to. Would obviously use it on it's own but that's my use case.

Just thinking about how years from now, some people are going to watch this video and realize the honesty and clever writing of dieter

4:22 I DO THIS (but please stop playing into the notion that the Mini is just for calls and texting. It’s literally a supreme phone just smaller). I use my iPad mini on my train commute to work for reading the news, listening to music, and watching videos and iTunes downloads.

Yeah the keyboard is too big in landscape mode - but don’t forget you can do that ‘spread apart’ gesture on the landscape keyboard so that it gets smaller and splits. I find it makes it easier to type / see content that way.

Loved this review

Always love a good Dieter review

He’s so fun to watch……The smart connector and apple keyboard is clutch. Long live the 10.5” pro! ;)

I have now had the ipad mini since last Friday, and as a samsung user, I must say that I love it! Samsung doesn’t make high end smaller tablets any more, so I had to jump ship. The ipad is the perfect size tablet for everything I use it for. Reading, internet, check mails, youtube, etc.

Simply, the best review!!

Always good stuff from Dieter.

ive had the same thought as yours way back when the first nexus 7 came.

Excellent, down to earth review (> and once more >> DEF YES. The iPad mini is almost like a GIANT iphone .. and that is what I'd like. Can't have that so this can fit that bill (and still be a sort of small content able / vid call or quick vid meeting sort of device that's lots easier to manage than on a simple mobile). Good stuff.

I loved media consumption on Nexus 7 so iPad Mini is very tempting, especially that is perfectly capable of more ambitious tasks like processing raw files from camera on the go in lightroom etc. But I just can't justify the price/storage ratio for what I would use it. You can get thin small laptop like hp envy, with more storage, which covers all use-cases and more, for the same price.

Pretty fair review... I have similar feelings, but I'm much more a fan of using the pencil with it.

Currently I have a 2018 iPad Pro 11”. I bought a base iPad mini 6 to to test out & possibly replace my pro. So far I love the size and portability. Being able to put it in a jacket pocket and go is great. The iPadOS15 app scaling on the Home Screen is throwing me off. I also miss Face ID but Touch ID is helpful when wearing a mask. Not a fan of the bezels but I get it. Still need time to decide if I stick with my 11” or go to the mini.

Any thoughts on if Apple will or be able to fix the severity of jelly scroll?

Just bought the purple. I’ve been waiting for a Touch ID power button rather than a bezel Touch ID button. Prefer the size to a full size for me it’s perfect.

If I could make calls on the Apple watch, I would love the watch+ipad mini combo!

I love the form factor of the Mini, which is why I have used a second generation mini.since they first came out. I have a keyboard case on it, and I used it as my work laptop. It still functioned as such, but I could see how a smart pencil would be useful for taking notes in meetings, so a couple of months ago I bought a gen 5 Mini. It’s fantastic! I love the multi tasking capability, and the pencil has been even more useful than I had expected. So would I buy a gen 6 Mini? No. Why? First of all, because of the price. I got my 5 at Best Buy new for $299. The 6 costs sooooo much more! The 5 does far more than I need it to, so why would I pay more fir stuff I won’t use? Secondly, I prefer the 5’s form factor, probably because I used the 2 for so long. When I tried a 6 out the bevels were too small, and I kept touching the screen when I didn’t mean to. Finally, I use the Mini because I need something that I can easily use in multiple environments. In the rain, or on a boat. That means using a clear waterproof dry bag. When doing so, the home button is easy to use. The 6’s top button, not so much. So I will just stick with my Mini 5 for now. In 8 years or so I might start thinking about upgrading again.

I got the base model on sale at Best Buy for $100 off MSRP. that’s cheaper than apple refurbished by $20. The pencil was also only $90, vs $110 refurbished or $130 new. I’m going into college, and will use this as a mini-notepad and a 2nd screen for my MacBook. The desks I use aren’t big enough for a 13” and an 11” second screen, plus paper.

Probably gonna get one. I already bought an M1 MacBook, and I feel like the Mini would make the most sense for someone who doesn’t need a laptop replacement.

I am an avid iPad Mini user. I got the original iPad Mini, the iPad Mini2, and the iPad Mini4, and have been waiting so long for this. I chose not to upgrade to the iPad Mini5 because the processor upgrade and lack of 5G didn’t feel worth it. But now with this redesign and upgrade, I can’t wait to get my unit. The form factor is perfect for portability, content consumption, and great for my kids to use on the go. And now with 5G, it makes even more sense as I can use it as a hotspot for my kids while they use my old iPhones or iPad Minis. I also use my iPhone and iPad Mini as my trading platform to manage my family trading accounts. So now I really can work from anywhere that has decent Wi-Fi or LTE or 5G coverage! Assuming my youngest ones are not sick or need my attention…. But the iPad Mini is great for screen size, feel in the hand, and even how it fits in my crossbody sling bag, that also carries a lot of my other daddy supplies for my kids. Granted we aren’t going out like we used to, but even at home, it is so much easier to hold and consume content on it than my iPhone or regular sized iPads. Getting older(turned 50 last year), getting eye strain using the iPhone and get wrist/hand/arm fatigue using regular sized iPads…
