GOOD AND BAD! iPad Mini 6 vs iPad Air 4
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 07. 2024
- Should you buy the iPad Mini 6 or the iPad Air 4? Which iPad is a better value? This is the iPad Mini 6 - and it sort of looks like someone took an iPad Air 4 and shrunk it down. Other than the size, there are important differences when it comes to the display, the cameras, processing power and accessories, both are extremely powerful and there is about a $100 difference in terms of price - so which one is actually better?
While the design elements are quite similar, the size is clearly the most obvious differentiator. The iPad Mini sports an 8.3” display while the iPad Air 4 has a noticeably bigger 10.9” display. Putting aside the features and benefits I’m going to cover throughout this video, the Mini is clearly a lighter and more portable device. It’s also great to game on because of the smaller form factor, so it’s really comfortable to hold and at the same time, it definitely feels bigger than a phone..

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the iPad Mini 6 and the iPad Air was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
Thanks you for your deep review.
Please do a pubg test in ipad mini 6
Please make a video pubg review and full battery drain test and all Accoseries test please sir big fan from india

Got my iPad Air 4 last week and I would definitely recommend (:
This is exactly what I needed
Big fan.. bro .. from Oman
Sounds like something ray mak would say
@@pascalcovey3391 lol
So glad it was helpful!
Which will you choose if u get both for same price
For me the Air 4 is perfect. I use it as a laptop for work and gaming for play. It is my daily driver and I really love it. It's screen is big enough for multitasking and video and yet it is small and light enough to carry around easily. Coming from a Windows laptop I wasn't sure but it quickly won me over.
Is apple going to launch ipad air 5 soon?
@@11musk31 I think no
wow never heard anyone using ipad as laptop
@@chandranshpandey1929 So youve been living under a rock because iPad OS has taken the iPad to another level
@@chandranshpandey1929 Modern tablets like the iPad Air/Pro and the Galaxy Tab 7/7 Pro are fully capable of replacing laptops for the majority of people. They are lighter and usually have better battery life. Most work now is web based so they perfectly fit the need. The A14 processor in my iPad easily outperforms my 10th gen I5 in my laptop that I now rarely use.
I love how the Mini fits in the palm of one hand, for me. It's definitely not as easy as holding an iPhone but it's definitely nice to have an iPad that's more manageable!
Great comparison! This is the video I want to see because both IPads are attractive to me in many ways. As result of this video, I finally decide to buy Mini! Can’t wait to get Mini!!!
Thanks for this super useful video. I agree: the most important deciding factor is to know what you'll use it for - as I have a 16" MacBook Pro for whenever I need a larger screen or to work, I now realise that for reading and browsing purposes the mini 6 is much more suitable as one can see a compact screen better than a significantly larger 11" screen on which your eyes would need to go up-and-down, making it less comfortable.
i'm the type of person who sees the Ipad mini as a personal device whereas I see the Ipad Air (other) as a mini computer.
Mini for games and rough use
Air for work ,as a computer 😍
But my dreams ended up having a 100 dollar,2gb ram phone 🙂
@@APuBGlover968 when u dream of a 100$ 2gb ram phone look to samsung they have the badest options there. A02 is pretty bad it has still micro usb and is so bad at performance that u can't use it 😃😂😂
@@justaguy9671 samsung is just shitt, because of Exynos processors
I don't even consider Samsung amongst iphones
@@APuBGlover968 it's not completely shit but there are parts that are so weird, like the A02 like i said above ur comment 😂
@@justaguy9671 samsung midrange phones are shitt,but high end ones are also shit infront of apple
The Mini feels like it was built for the post-pandemic era that's not quite here. If you're frequently reading or playing games on a train or at the coffee shop, it's great! But I'm still spending most of my time indoors, and it's tough to justify such a high price on a screen when I already have so many around me. And the 64GB is ridiculous for the price of 500 bucks!
The Mini 5 is perfect for lying on your back (UAG case with front flap cut off + 3 point elastic iPad back strap). If I was doing desk work, then the Air/11/12.9.
Or to over generalise:
Back = Mini
Lap = Air or 11.
Desk = 12.9
I want them all, for different reasons.
But as a pure chill out device, Mini is king IMHO.
Agree with u. They really could have offered 128GB for that 500 bucks 😢
@@noorameera26 yes they definitely could despite 256GB is too big if you are not a content creator for an 8 inches tablet
lol it’s still easier to hold than the iPad Air 4 even in your own house.
in my country it almost 1000 buck, i wish it only 500 buck, American is living the easy mode
If you’re a student and take lots of notes, I would just get the air. I bought the iPad mini today and went to see the displays, them being side by side was very helpful because I knew then and there that I would find the iPad Air more convenient. So I ended up returning the mini. Just paying 108 more dollars for the air with apple care.
How comfortable would you say the iPad Air is for holding and for reading e-textbooks?
@@LeonEllisZ yea it’s pretty good. the air is just about the size of a textbook page anyways. the mini isn’t as good, but it’s serviceable.
@@adidasthottie thanks! that was my biggest concern of a bigger ipad. glad to hear it's not an issue.
Agreed, you can even use air for wide watching for Netflix, hulu etc. perfect for class also if you love split screen. Either way, the mini is so cute and handy, tho i have the air 4 with me
thanks that answers my question i think. I planned using an ipad in school but i wasn't sure which is the better option. My biggest problem was if the 100$ more are worth the bigger size. I would use it not only for note taking but for writing whole pages of exercises. My other point was that im a student and 100$ more is much for me 😄. sry btw if my English is so bad lol
Man oh man I was waiting for this review I refused to watch any other reviewers till I see yours first well done ✅
Super-duper impressed with your review! Far more comprehensive than most of the other reviews out at the moment, with *helpful* comparisons (why does everyone compare to the 12.9" iPad Pro!?)
Very useful and informative video, thank you! 😊
You have done it again sir. My cousin is having trouble deciding what to buy for her kids for educational purposes. With the help of your video she has now decided what to buy. It really is true that you should by it nice or buy it twice. Have a great day sir.
Oh how I wished my parents had ever considered buying me a tablet or anything similar beside Christmas or birthday but if we wanted something we had to wait or work to get it, no matter what. Children these days are really spoiled.
Thank you for this! As a college student who don't know much about tech & just buy one without much thought your reviews are really quite helpful to me. I also decided to get Macbook Air M1 over my initial choice of Macbook Pro M1 because of your past video reviews. I thought having no fan will give it a huge disadvantage but it didn't seem to be the case. I got the 512gb Macbook Air & it is still cheaper than the 256gb Pro and it works well & I'm happy w/ it. So you help me save some money. Thanks.
Now I want to buy a new Ipad for reading so I was originally going for the Ipad Air 4 but I think you just convince me again to just go for the Ipad Mini instead. I wasn't planning to used the Ipad for typing or doing any of my projects & works anyway as that is what a Macbook is for. I really just plan to used it for reading documents or pdfs and maybe some CZcams viewing & light gaming (though I don't really like gaming) and it looks like the Ipad Mini suits me more. I think I may go for that one. Thank you for this comparison video. 💖
I’m so glad I’ve been able to help with multiple decisions - and I’m happy to hear that you’re livening the MacBook Air!!! Thank you for being part of the channel!
i'm downsizing from ipad air 4 to the mini 6 bcoz after a year, i realized i barely take my ipad anywhere bcoz it's rather big and heavy to fit into my daily bag. thank you very much for this review!
Thank you for doing this comparison ! Your video is the first one I’ve seen on CZcams comparing the two in-hand as opposed to just going over specs
As someone who does not own any Apple products, but owns an phone and a laptop, the Mini 6 seemed like the perfect device to give access to Apple products and services without duplicating, in large part, the functionality of what I already own.
I usually fall asleep to videos at night and check stocks in the morning on my phone, but it would be nice to have something a little larger to both; something that I can roll around with in bed without having to cock my head or break my arm holding at a viewing angle.
i use android and windows. But the ipad is really good for me. I use it for youtube and my own personal finance stuff. and to stream spotify to my hi-fi system. Ironical but convenient.
same bro havent had any apple products and i think having mini is the butter for me i have my phone and desktop already i just needed the perfect fit for both of my devices and mini solves it.
@@realchaaan I actually decided to pay the few hundred extra dollars for the 256gb 11" iPad Pros; I think that I made the right decision, it is better to just buy a used mini if the use case is mostly just handing it off to a toddler.
@@josephglover4546used is expensive unless its onlder minis
iPad Air is great but I need something on the go. I can take notes on both, but the mini just feels much better to hold. Plus it has the newer processor
Yes!
you nailed it!
goodness i was finding that word "on-the-go" finally that fits mini when i describe it on my friends
I am glad you came up with a meaningful comparison between mini 6 and air 4. Had watched a few unboxing and initial impressions, but to be honest your comparison provides more visibility and will help viewers in making informed decisions. Appreciate you work 🙏
The iPad Air 64gb model has gone down to $500 a couple time on Amazon. I would wait
I rarely write comments, but this is a very good review! You covered all the details, and talked about the usage scenarios and that you need to match the device exactly to your usage scenario. I wish you success in developing your channel!
I have the iPad Air 4 10.9” display with the magic keyboard and based on daily (heavy) usage I really love it. I use it for basically everything (some apps that I heavily use are Notes, Procreate, iMovie, Numbers and Keynote, with a few games here and there). However in my experience since my iPad is literally with me 24/7 indoors or outdoors, it gets pretty heavy especially when I go out and it’s the only thing that keeps my bag weigh like a concrete brick all the time. I see myself getting an iPad Mini 6 solely for “outdoor” purposes (going to work, cafe lounging and stuff) while keeping my iPad Air 4 for indoor use in the future.
same reason i cant bring air all around the places i wanted to when my bag's just small. a mini fits with it and i think i can maximize it given that i usually do my personal planning, etc at a coffee shop
Been waiting for this review!
Hope you like it!
You explain all the aspects very well. Keep this way. Good luck 🤞
So glad I could help!
Best reviewer!
not doing jokes the entire time or screaming thank you for that 🙏🏽
Definitely added value so I will definitely leave thumbs up
I appreciate your feedback and your support! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Finally your video :c I was waiting for this ... just amazing !
Yeah, I guess it comes down to what you need in your device. I’m a reader, so prefer the iPad mini size; and as a student in the arts (creative and professional writing), it’s very reading intensive - again the Mini suits me better. But, I am privileged to already have an additional device for typing/writing - the Mini is not that kind of device.
I have the air which is perfect for drawing, note taking. Rarely for reading. The occasional video but I prefer to watch videos on tv, phone next.
I have an old mini 4 strictly for ereading. I really don’t know if I should upgrade to the mini 6.
@@mckenny5505 if you’re happy with your Air as your ‘workhorse’, and if your your mini 4 continues to be fine for e-reading, Im always an advocate for working with what you have. Only when older devices get too slow and prevent you from what you wish to achieve, do I upgrade. As much as I love and desire the mini 6, my mini 5 is still perfectly fine for now (I’m finding it hard to justify😂), I won’t be upgrading just yet. My kids are still rocking their iPad 7th generation iPads. These devices last for years, and the iPadOS 15 upgrade is awesome.
This is the content that I’m waiting for. Thank you so much and God bless☺️
I own the IPad Air and was contemplating to get the mini but after watching the video I was really happy based on the way I used mine the IPad Air was better for me. Thank you!
I’ve been waiting for this video! Great video!
Thank you so much !!!!
The wait is finally over
the microphones on video calls has a huge difference when it comes to quality. thank you for testing this up
Ipad air is better
Thanks a lot for making this video. I was really confused on which to select for my study purpose. Really appreciate the work . Thanks!
Unpopular opinion: Many people out there do NOT want a tablet to replace their laptop.
They just want a powerful tablet that’s an extension to their primary computing device.
I am one of those many people and mini is a perfect for people like us.
agree!! i am a student and i wanted to own an ipad mini 6 since my only device atm is a laptop and i think the ipad mini 6 works better to me for media consumption, doodle and little note taking. I used to have an ipad mini 2 and i liked it so much since it is light and small to use, it is the same size as my notebook and sketchbook. i cant buy any devices to use for my study except for the laptop since i am going through a financial problem but would love to own one!!
I agree with you. I'm still not sure which one to buy
@@asnwarlock1583 I got 1 yr old mini 5 for $200. A12 is still a powerhouse and gonna last for the next 3 years easily. I’d say try to find used mini 5 unless you REALLY want the cutting edge design and upgraded cameras.
Great review! Love how you crystal clear discuss details in every videos. Keep it up! 😊
I think for students or those that intend on using an iPad as a main device the air makes more sense, I imagine productivity to be a lot easier on a bigger screen, especially using split screen. For someone like myself with a powerful desktop PC and a works laptop the mini 6 makes perfect sense. It allows me to browse web, reply to emails and carry out basic photo and video editing a lot more comfortably than using my phone without have to sit in front of PC, simply lighter and more convenient than air. Actually considering replacing my large screen phone to a smaller one based on the mini 6 traveling with me most places.
oh this is what I'm waiting for!!! subbed!
Yup, this video is my dilemma. I was leaning towards the Air 4 for my kids (they like to draw), but the portability of the Mini 6 is very attractive. And the price difference will come close the paying for a couple of Apple Pencils.
Everytime I'm bored there's a new video from you and I'm living for it
Finally! The video that i've been waiting for
This video convinced me to get the mini. I have small hands and mostly looking for a comfortable and portable gaming ipad (tho I still have a modicum of difficulty holding the mini 6 in 1 hand, LOL). And it's absolutely perfect for me. Thank you man.
I picked up the IPad Air 4 on launch and it’s just perfect for my requirements. For portability, gaming and reading I have my iPhone 11 which can do the IPad mini tasks.
I got the Air 4 today, it is awesome. I used Mini 3 for 6 years already, I need a bigger screen
Been waiting for this.🥰🥰
Hope it was helpful!
You literally read my mind. I was waiting for this video.
We were all waiting for this!
Really contemplating between this two, but leaning towards air 4 but it doesn't have that center stage which I feel is a really good addition. By any chance it can be upgraded by OTA update if Apple decided to go that way or is it limited by the hardware? Thank you sir for the wonderful comparison!
Great video!
I would say, although the processing power may not matter now, it will definitely matter later on when the apps get larger in size and are more CPU/GPU intensive.
thank you for the kind words!
Very true! It will be interesting to see when we get to a point when the delta between these two processors becomes a factor (for most people). I appreciate you contributing to the community!
Most programmes require less and less power. The processor in the iPad air is more than enough. We totally overbuy compute power.
This is the first video of yours I have watched and I am very impressed with the quality and amount of detail in the video. Well done. 👍
I appreciate the kind words, Wade! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Just thinking for a comparison between these two and here u r! 😍
Love this review. I definitely do not need an iPad Air. Currently saving up for the iPad Mini 6.
I have ipad air4 but if i was buying an ipad i would buy a mini, you won’t be disappointed enjoy it
@@terry9965 Thanks for the tip! For context, I am not a student anymore btw thus I said that I do not need the bigger iPads. I would mainly use it for leisure and lifting some weight off of my phone, the battery life is dying faster every after update jeez

This is one of the better reviews of these products thank you very much. Many other reviews tend to focus on how seemingly useless the iPad Air 4 is, purely in relation to specs. However, as you mentioned very clearly, a person's use case scenario is really what differentiates the two devices.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I definitely value actual use over specs. Thank you for being part of the channel!
If you are an artist, student, or someone who would use an iPad similarly to a laptop I would 100% recommend the iPad Air 4. I have it and it is so awesome! I don’t think that the mini is big enough to draw or take notes comfortably on. The iPad airs larger screen is awesome for watching videos. I also have the magic keyboard which turned the iPad into a laptop for me. I love it and I have a lot of videos about it on my CZcams channel.
I bought one for foto editing. I think the mini is to small for that
Nice and detailed one bro..
You got a new subscriber
Very good content and presentation. Thank you.
Thanks, good straight talk, good evaluation with real day to day usage for 95% of the people
This is a great video and as much as I love the idea of the iPad mini, I think that iPad Air 4 is going to suit my needs better. No I’m just hoping that 64 GB is going to be enough because that’s what I can afford. I’m going to be using it for content consumption, streaming online content and media, taking some notes, reading and some sketching. Also playing a few good games. I think 64 should be good, I also have tons of iCloud storage.
Watched this on my new Air 4 which I got a couple days ago. For me, the larger the display, the better. Also, I actually think that playing games on a larger display, especially a racing game, is actually better and preferable; at least, I prefer a larger display for gaming myself.
Oh geez. This is such a good video. The part where you demonstrated what it’s like for FaceTime on both devices side by side, sound as well just blew my mind. It wasn’t a comparison I needed but that you provided that for those who do need it is just fantastic !!!
Any chance you could give me your input here?
I have the iPad Air 4. I have the iPad mini 4. Use the mini for reading but interested in upgrading. I would only use the new mini for reading. Won’t need 256gb. My mini 4 is 128gn and my book library is big but not even 10gb lol. I’m still unsure if I should upgrade or why upgrade when I can keep using the mini 4. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 I would continue to play some games and procreate on the air. I mostly stream on my iPhone with a new one on the way 😬
Really helpful thanks
thanks. your videos always help
Glad to hear that!
I love your videos!
I've been recently looking at the new iPad mini and now I saw this reviews of both iPads it really helped alot making me Decide which one to get...thanks!
I appreciate the support!!
This is the video I was waiting for … 👋 here a new subscriber… 🇨🇦
I’m really happy with my iPad Mini 6, little powerhouse of usefulness for me, does all that my iPad Pro did, loving it! 👍🏻👌🏻😊 UK
Best review and comparison video so far…
If the Mini 6 existed when I got the Air 4 in January, would have probably went with it over the Air 4 since the favourite iPad of the past was the Mini 2 over their larger counterparts. But, the Air 4 is still wonderful and there is a good benefit of screen size for watching content.
Depending on how money goes, there might be some consideration of getting a purple Mini 6 to take everywhere in a bag because of the form factor since taking an Air 4 everywhere does feel kind of chonky. But at the same time right now, saving up money for the iPhone 13 Pro Max with a higher end storage option so getting someone like a Mini 6 after having an Air 4 can really wait.
To me. I like the mini for surfing and smaller tasks. I never take it out of the house, but I still prefer the smaller size.
As for gaming I use the ps5, ad the iPads are to small for gaming in my opinion.
Great video 👌🏻👌🏻
Great video! I got the iPad Air 4 but I love the purple of the mini! They should keep making the purple color 😭
I bought a Mini to compliment the 12.9 Pro. Pro is the workhorse, Mini is for media consumption. Both are pretty perfect
Perfect combo!, I would then it I had that kind of budget. -
I love your video,,so specific ❤️
I’ve got the iPad mini 5 and I’m looking for an upgrade. I think the newer generation mini would be the best option. I mainly do gaming and video editing.

Thank you for this excellent video. Do you feel iPads are in a position where they can replace laptops from a productivity level? Keep up the great work and take care!
With the Magic Keyboard, a Ipad, Ipad Air or a Ipod Pro will totally be a good replacement for laptops on the productivity level
Thanks, very informative. Which external controller can be used for playing games? Thanks.
This is the video that iv been looking for…. I totally agree that ipad mini lacks keyboard supoort which is lacking to what i need. Im more into a typing person for my productivity in my ipad. Also the bigger screen makes me satisfied for the contents im viewing, like watching movies. Maybe, the mini isnt for me because of the lack-of keyboard support and smaller screen. My bags fits the ipad air4. Most bags are comatible with 11” gadgets so thats okey for travelling plus the thin form factor of the magic keyboard. Thank God i chabged from ipad air4. From my previous air3 model…
Let me tell you, I got the IPad Air yesterday & I haven’t been able to put it down. I love it, the mini is great but the size determined it for me (:
My ipad air i got 2 weeks ago it has a slight tiny delay when turning off is that the same for you?
@shawn fitzgerald it is updated I mean in the country I live in there's no official apple store but there is a store that sells apple products
@@rayanjkr that store seems dodgy. Is it a huge problem to you?If it is find a place where you can fix it or give it back and order one online Amazon , very or just the apple store
@@balaforever3073 nah its not a huge problem was just wondering since mine is the only one like that
@shawn fitzgerald i only worried about this because my old ipad air 2 was faster to turn off
I’ve been on the fence between the iPad mini and the iPad Air for some time. In college, I had the iPad mini (the oldest version), then found it extremely lacking because I needed to use my iPad for textbook and note taking at the time. I ended up getting the iPad Air 3. But now that I no longer need it to function as a study aid, I admit that the only thing I use my iPad for is watching CZcams, reading fanfiction, and playing games. Normally, I’d stick with what I have because that’s good enough, but because my iPad Air is now on its way out (it broke lol), I’m considering switching back over to iPad mini
