    It's the best iPad to use on the toilet as well

    While your phone can do most of this, there's a psychological importance to having separate tools for casual things and work related things. It's one of the many reasons that people suggest not putting your desk in your bedroom as it mixes the work and relaxing spaces. Minimalism doesn't mean just having less stuff, it means the stuff you have has a distinct purpose.

    Your tech content is really interesting because unlike "tech" youtubers, you tell us normal people the things we really want to know, and the things that affect us as users. And, being aesthetically pleasing is always a blessing. Please keep the content rolling!

      I agree, most tech youtubers focus on specs or features which holds little to no value. I just want to know how a device can make my life potentially better by looking at how other people use/setup their devices in order to maximise value.

      @@hazyproduct1692 I mean specs do hold value, but it’s only a fraction of actual user experience.
      What is 120Hz when you have no adaptive refresh rate to conserve battery life.
      What is bigger battery when your battery consumption is damn high.
      There are many things not found on the spec sheet that heavily impacts user experience.

    iPad Mini6 is the best iPad I've ever owned. Not too big, not too small. Easy to hold, easy to mount. It's a staple in my set up now and I use it for more and more every day.

  • @blankearth5840

    I’m watching this on my iPhone 13 mini. The iPad mini (1st Generation) was my very first Apple device. I was a teenager and I used it like it was a phone and I used the hell out of it. It would fit in my pockets and coat pockets. I took it to concerts and didn’t really feel that bad recording with it due its smaller size. I took it everywhere and made hundreds of CZcams videos with it. It was such a good device and it really showed how well it worked, probably because of its size and compactness. Now that they have a new one out with a fancy modern design, I should probably make it a comeback in my life

  • @guinnevereschronicles2225
    @guinnevereschronicles2225 Před 2 lety +72

    The iPad mini 6 is my first mini ever. Before I did the trade in for it (I had the 11 inch iPad Pro before the mini), I was a bit skeptical, but it suprised me how powerful it is for a small device, and the portability of it is awesome. It’s definitely one of the best purchases I’ve ever did. I’ve been wanting to go smaller for years, but I didn’t know that the trade in option was a thing until 3 years ago, so it gave me a great excuse for when I want a newer model in the future, it gives me a great product, I get to save money, and I know my previous tech gets recycled for other things. I call that a win

      I love your name: Guinnevere's Chronicles. Gives me fantasy/adventure vibes. :) I too switched from a larger model iPad to the mini. I had the 2020 iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard. It's an amazing device and, at the time, was my laptop replacement. However I ended up getting the Macbook Air and found that I rarely used my iPad. The mini serves as the perfect go between of my iPhone and Macbook. I carry this thing everywhere.

    I bought the iPad mini yesterday, sold my iPad Pro 12.9 as it was not being used fully to its potential and I needed/wanted a smaller form factor for my academic work. The mini with my MacBook Air appears the perfect combination for me, still deciding what to keep on the mini, as all iPads have the “distraction factor”

  • @emilmaier2953

    Just got mine in the mail today. czcams.com/users/postUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.

  • @ljacobs357
    @ljacobs357 Před 2 lety +3

    Things to understand about the Mini 6. It overheats in hot weather and then freezes. It has a poor display in bright conditions and many apps aren’t scaled correctly for the display including their built in keyboard. Finally, it has poor battery life. Other than the form factor and fast processor, the Mini 6 is a sub standard tablet at best. But fun to use.

  • @Scarbuckks
    @Scarbuckks Před 2 lety +18

    I was in the apple store earlier today buying an iPad Air and I messed with the mini a bit, and damn. What a perfect form factor, it’s like the field notes pads of tablets. I just wish it had an M1 to fit the new iOS 16 features

    regarding the folio, i think the smart folio is definitely the best option for an iPad mini!(I use an ESR folio, almost a clone but much cheaper) When in storage, it protects the ipad. But when I want to play games, a case tends to make the iPad very heavy to hold, so having the option to detach the folio and using it naked is really nice!

    For me when I want a truly portable device then having the cellular capability is a must, either a physical sim or activating esim, why would you restrict yourself to just WiFi?, it’s costs a bit more but I prefer it to wasting money on extra storage, with the cloud, google photos, a card reader dongle, there’s no need to store much on the device itself. The iPhone mini 13 & iPad mini 6 is an awesome combination, I haven’t touched a conventional computer in over six months, expensive yes but totally unique & niche.

  • @darylang2575

    This is exactly why I want to upgrade to the new Ipad mini. When I bought the G1 Ipad mini this video was my intended use for it but the technology back then was lacking. Now that the new one is out I want to get it to increase my productivity and consolidate the tools/notebooks/books I carry around. Still pricey though and have a lot of things in life to juggle around. Thank you for the video!

  • @hezekiahisrael5723

    you can mix together the iPhone and iPad with handoff and iCloud for a seamless experience between both devices so that you take one thing and pass it onto the other which is real cool because you can be watching a video on your iPhone and finish it on the iPad

    Nice practical video ❤, straightforward without a lot of chatty filler.
    I have both the mini 6 and the iPad Pro 12.9 (3rd gen). I use my mini for ebooks that I know i will want to take notes (deep reading type notes) and my iPad Pro for everyday note taking and digital planning since the screen is bigger. If I ever decided I needed to trim down devices, Id probably say goodbye to my Pro however. The mini fits in my bag and can be held in one hand and is the one I take on trips with me to download photos from my cameras sd card. The pro never got the software that would turn it into a laptop replacement. Still useful, but left wanting.

    My mini only works for me if I use reading glasses that are stronger than usual.
    A 10.2" iPad 9 works fine for me with MSFT Office IF I pair it with an accessory third party Bluetooth keyboard for the Surface Go - won't attach magnetically but includes a track pad unlike most iPad specific third party accessory keyboards.

    Our phones can just do this for us. Lol it’s true but I love the iPad because its such a great compromise between a laptop and a phone. The portability and convenience of an iPad that a phone also has and the screen size, productivity, power, and ergonomics of a laptop is perfect for students and work flow. I use mine for school and I’ve never looked back. I hated pulling out my windows 17” laptop and carrying it around. Having a 4 hour batter life and constantly forgetting it’s not touch screen would suck.

    Hey, I like your minimalism. The content, the way you talk, the cinematic, and image FX, you matched everything perfectly. 👌🏻
    Btw, I wonder how or where do you make your image effects. I like to add that kind of touch on my keynote. 😍

    Just found your videos great setup. I have a question, how do you get that button to the App Library in the doc?
