    256GB should be entry level for any iPad storage especially apps size nowadays are fairly big.

    • @MaiElizabeth
      @MaiElizabeth Před rokem +29

      If 80% of the buyers choose 64GB, at least we can make our ‘voice’ heard to push them to set at least 128GB as the baseline.

    • @sglatitude
      @sglatitude Před rokem +10

      For me personally, 64GB for either iPhone or iPad simply cannot make it.
      As a reference, Diablo Immortal on iPad occupy 11GB of storage. Office365 occupy 2.5GB. Video entertainment (Netflix, Disney+, CZcams, HBO) takes up 1.5GB of storage. GoodNotes takes another 1.5GB of storage. Other apps, photos, documents, 4K video eat up storage even more.
      At the very least, 256GB is on safe bet although I still enjoy my 1TB iPad 🤭
      But hey, consumer will be happy even if Apple just put that 100W fast charging power adapter and USB C cable in the iPad box where it belongs. 😆

    I definitely don’t regret buying the Mini 6. It is such a great option from what you describe and that taking notes in meetings. I bought the 64 gig and don’t regret it one bit. It forces me to be minimalistic on what I load onto the mini. The only time I run out of space is when I upgraded to IOS 17 beta. I had to offload some apps for more storage. I don’t see me upgrading to the Mini 7 just for more storage. Great vid, looking forward to the new announcements and future videos.

    Been exclusively using iPad Pros since 2015 but decided to downgrade from my cellular 11 inch Pro to the cellular Mini recently mostly because it became such a chore to lug around a huge iPad when travelling. It’s been amazing! Touch ID took a while to get used to but so far it’s been a blast. I haven’t missed ProMotion at all since it’s not that noticeable on a smaller screen. I take this thing everywhere. It absolutely feels liberating to just grab an iPad and go without ever thinking about the bag you’re going to use since it’s so tiny that it can fit just about any EDC bag ❤

    I switched from my 12.9” pro to the 11” pro, because the 12.9” felt way too big. Now I feel the same about the 11” pro, i like the pro features, they’re cool, but not a life-altering necessity like it is to others. If they give the mini 7 a better screen and more storage i’ll be switching in a heartbeat

  • @1111l

    This pricing strategy involves the removal of the popular 128GB storage option, pushing customers to upgrade to the next device in the lineup, typically with 256GB, which falls within the price range of the superior model.

  • @Altabozz
    @Altabozz Před rokem +8

    The only reason that could make me upgrade from 6 to 7 is the ability to use the iPad full screen connected to a monitor as bigger iPads with M1-M2, if not I'm not interested in other features. I use the mini as note taking and media consumption device so I don't need more.

  • @ekasism
    @ekasism Před rokem +3

    I got my iPad mini 6 in hopes of switching from my standard iPad I’d been using for almost 2 years. Returned it 2 days later. Screen resolution, brightness, battery, speakers, UI size optimization and text size were all better on my 2 year old, cheaper iPad, and it didn’t have the extra issues like display distortion and jelly scrolling.
    I couldn’t believe how blatantly obvious it was how much of a test product this was, testing the waters to see if people were still interested in the form factor so they could make a version that actually reflects how much it costs.
    I LOVE iPad minis, but unless those issues are solved and we get an actual quality product, I’ll keep using my m1 iPad pro for, everything, really.

    @andrewfischer3971 Před rokem +5

It’s so much lighter & smaller to travel with as well. I’ll wait until the Mini 7 comes out, THEN get a great price on the Mini 6, maybe I can get the Mini 6 ( 256 ) for the same price as the Mini 7 ( 64 ) 😎👍

    I travel a lot and the Mini is just the right size every single time for me to carry. I still use the #iPadMini4 But now it's time to upgrade since its OS is end-of-life.

    Love my iPad Mini 6, got it for a great price during Prime Day, *but* I really wish I had paid the extra to get more than 64 GB storage. iPad OS and system data take up about 15 GB (at least for me), so I actually started out with about 50 GB available. I’ll probably upgrade to the 7 just to get more storage. Hopefully, trade-in value for the one I have will be enough to make it workable.
    Meanwhile, I’m using this little guy every day and I love it for all the reasons you gave. I find myself reaching for it when I would otherwise use my phone, and the added screen space really makes a difference. 120 Hz would be nice, but I don’t really see any “jelly roll” issues with the 60 Hz. I do agree about using it outside: not very good for reading if you’re in bright sunlight.

    I have the iPad mini 6. There are pros and cons. 256Gb and Cellular. Bought it new to replace the 5 for use on car trips. It's a great GPS replacement. Better than the phone (size) for emails and CZcams. The 'jelly scrolling' has never been an issue for me. I can actually take a phone call with it while driving. However... IMHO, It would be a LOT better if it was more landscape oriented. Taking a screen shot requires me to reach over the top to touch both the start button and a volume button, both on the left side. Both hands, Very awkward. You need to perform FOUR functions to turn it off. Quickly. And in a certain order! (Up volume, volume down, push/hold the start button, then slide the power off slider. The 5 was two; way simpler.) For all the talk about the speakers, my phone is still louder. The A15 chip is quick enough, but could be a LOT better with, say, the M2. And there is that foto info popping up unasked, with no shutting it off. The Apple 'seers' (guessers) show no solutions for any of these problems. All in all, I'll prolly not upgrade to a 7.

Other than the performance and form factor, it hasn't been a good experience for me.

    Oh man, I love my iPad mini 6, it's beautiful. I bought a Galaxy Z Fold 5, but I didn't want to get rid of my mini and I'm glad I didn't. I've always wanted an iPad and nothing better than the mini 6, the battery is great, and iOS is very smooth.

    I could do with an iPad Mini SE. It would have Ipad mini 5 specs and design, apart from an updated chipset. Price 350€. When it comes to tablets those chunkier bezels make it easier to get a good grip and be used as an e-reader. Therefore they serve a purpose for some users at least. They serve no purpose on phones though.

    Idk the ipads are in a weird place for whats supported.
    The 6th gen & 7th gen ipad are using A10 Chips, 8th gen A12 (came out in 2020) A13 ipad 9 A14 Ipad 10.
    The air 4 A14 & the mini 6 A15 all other entries of other models have an M for pros an air now.
    I do find that using the A15 chipset in the mini 6 makes it have more support as the chip was used in the 14 & 14plus.
    So I really think a new mini wont be out for awhile.

  • @subtiq
    @subtiq Před rokem +1

    I hope they fix the screen issue with the mini 7. I have returned two mini 6's due to headaches and eye strain I experienced while using them. Tried it twice as i really wanted it to be my go-to device due to its size.Even with the reduced motion turned off, I had problems. I battle with motion sickness and the mini 6 seems to affect it. I had to go back to using my Mini 5 and IPad Pro as they do not affect the motion sickness.

    • @PatrickRambles

      It's a very subjective phenomenon. Some notice nothing and other can't stand it. Hopefully they give us promotion which should fix that.

      @PatrickRambles I agree hopefully Promotion will fix it, its the first device that I have had such noticeable problems with.

    The only way, I’d upgrade from iPad mini 6 to iPad mini 7, is if Apple

    want to open the Home Screen.

    Honestly, I had iPhone SE 2016, 7, 12, 12 Pro, 13 Pro and now I have 14 Pro 128GB. I also have iPad Mini 6 64GB. I use 55 gigs of my iPhone storage, having over 100 apps and I would easily go under 40, but COD Mobile uses 7 gigs, YT downloads another 6, Spotify downloads 3 and GTA SA also takes 3GB of my memory. On my mini I use less than 40GB, and I have over 12.000 photos and 200GB iCloud. I really never understood how people use like 700GB of storage. If I really tried I would probably fit within 32GB of storage, but I would have to limit myself a little and I don’t limit myself at all now, having used this little of memory

  • @loughrey101

    Two weeks ago I scored a flash sale from Amazon that took 50% off the retail price of the cellular model and I've never seen such a discount before anywhere for the iPad Mini 6 so I have no regrets at all as I'd never pay over 800 euros for the cellular model and that's how much the Mini 7 would be. So getting the cellular model for even significantly less than the WiFi only model means I have no regrets at all not waiting. I have no interest in another iPad mini until the LCD retina display is replaced with ye inky Blacks of mini-led or OLED and the Mini 7 won't have that upgrade so there's little point in waiting for the 7 as it'll be a very minor upgrade. When you own a large OLED TV, the mini-led of the Macbook Pro 16 inch, and have OLED iPhones, watching movies on the LCD screen of an iPad us a major headache. Itself talk about the 60hz display but the LCD panel itself, with its poor black levels, is far more frustrating.
    The A15 is still very fast so a new chip upgrade doesn't seem that exciting
