*NEW* iPad Air 5 Unboxing - czcams.com/video/K0_0FUSkMBk/video.html
Which one would *you* pick for school? iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air 4, or iPad Pro? 🍎✏
Thanks for watching! Love you! 🥰
Ipad mini
Ipad Pro
air!
@@sanliy She's asking which one would you use for school, not which one you have 😁I'll go for the ipad pro!
The ipad I would choose would be The iPad Pro because it has a bigger screen and its more easier to use and write on!!!
I actually got the mini for school. The Smart Cover actually helps it from sliding around. Although, I do agree with you about the hand space for writing. I do think it's the perfect device if you're using it in addition to a computer. To have a small notebook/textbook nearby that doesn't take up so much room on your desk or on your bag as a full size is what I'm most happy with. It's a great complementary device. Thanks for your video, Janice!
I agree with you! It’s more of a companion device / small notebook but I’m unable to justify the price of it for being just a notebook unless you have other uses for it 😄
@@JaniceStudies Especially when you already have an iPad that you love using LOL. I don't blame you!
Bro how it is iPad Mini 6
@@shivaayritik6680 did u buy??

Janice - In the perfect world, a student will have 2 devices for school.: an iPad (11” / 12.9 pro) or a laptop and a iPad mini. The larger devices are ideal for taking notes/ writing papers and do the heavy lifting major course assignments. However when it comes to studying / reading, this is where the iPad mini shines. When you have a few minutes between classes, riding the bus or just hanging out in the student union, or even bed as you fall off to sleep you can whip out the iPad mini and read your notes, run through your flash cards or replay the video to make sure you caught that important comment made by the teacher. In addition Quick Note can be opened by taping the pen on the screen and you can write down that idea you want to use in your paper. Having all of the apps synced across multiple devices makes this ideal. The iPad mini hits that sweet spot where your iPhone is not big enough and your iPad Pro 12.9 / laptop is too big. If, however, a student is to only have a single device, the iPad mini is not the right choice. In reality, a student is going to have multiple devices, the iPad mini is a good choice for students as one of the tools in the mix.
i totally agreee
This is the route I went with as a university student. I have the older iPad mini (with the home button) as well as an older iPad Pro (11 inch) with keyboard.
I use the mini to read articles and textbooks and the iPad Pro to write notes, do assignments, etc. The mini is much better and less heavy to hold for long periods to read ebooks on. I have an iPhone 12 mini so reading on it is quite an eye strain 😅
Exactly. You are soooo right! I have a 13-inch surface laptop 3. And I don't really want another big device. The mini is really perfect! I'm a college student.
Exactly! It fills the gap between a phone and a laptop perfectly, and as a student and now intern in a corporate office, carrying my laptop and mini along with my similarly sized planner and notebooks is going to be so much better than having two 13 inch devices in my bag every single day
Lol I needed this
Thanks
For left-handed people, the issue of your hand falling of the iPad mini at the end would not be a problem. We always start a sentence with our hand of the screen or page no matter the size of the iPad or even a regular notebook. I have watched a lot of reviews since I plan on buying an iPad mini yet I have never heard anyone mention this or include lefties in general...
I'm also left-handed so i was thinking about it. Maybe I'll go to see if i find one in some supermarkets in my city and try if it's better the mini or a normal one, but I'll probably go with the mini since i have a macbook and the combination would be better for a student
Hello, did u guys try it? Could you share the experience for lefties?
I used the old iPad Mini throughout grad school and it worked fantastically for reading and note taking! It absolutely worked. The refreshed design looks amazing. I have the iPad Air now but if I didn’t, I would go for this in a heartbeat.
Really? I don’t believe

true
I have the pink one & it sure is a delight to use it. It's useful when reading books, magazines, watching movies and even writing. It literally has become my best friend.
You customized your new ipad so creatively and beautifully. Loved this video.❤️
I used to have an iPad mini and I wanted to use it for school, but the thing was that in my school we usually had to keep out devices vertically and it was difficult for me as my Apple Pencil was getting less space to write and my hand kept falling off which was pretty annoying and as sometimes I wanted to keep the flow of writing, it felt like the pencil didn’t have palm rejection. I told my father about it and he noticed it pretty clear. He decided to get me an a iPad Pro and of course he couldn’t just throw it away, so he gave it to my friend who made a use of it. (She didn’t do note taking) Now I can use my iPad comfortably with no distractions 😊
I love my iPad mini 5 and have been using it as a secondary device to study since 2019, and would upgrade to the mini 6 if it wasn’t still such a great device. It’s great if you are typing dependent for the majority of your notes on a computer or laptop - which is me. It’s great for one-hand content consumption when your phone doesn’t quite cut it. It’s the best device for me for reading ebooks, and I read a lot with my degree in the arts/humanities. But I agree, for those who want to have a stronger hand-note taking focus, and multi-tasking on split screen focus, perhaps a larger standard iPad, Air or Pro may be a better option.
I use my iPad Pro 11’. I wanted it to be a sub for a laptop and with the addition of a keyboard and Apple Pencil it’s working amazing I haven’t noticed any limitations compare to a laptop. If it is within your budget, I definitely recommend it. If you’re going for just one device though, I don’t think the iPad mini will cover everything (such as note taking, lectures and writing-heavy assignments)
Helpful comment!
It’s an awesome option for students I think. Portable and powerful!
Hi Janice. Thanks for your authentic and genuine reviews. The only one that's really on spot and precise on youtube!
I love your videos! I have been watching since my first year of college when taking pre-reqs. I just was recently accepted into nursing school!
I loved your video! You talked about the iPad and its pros and cons briefly and efficiently. Great review!
I have small hands so it fits me perfect, I use it for learning my notes and for Flashcards reviewing on the go
It’s like a lovely A5 notebook!
You make our day better with your vids 💜
i have just made my mind based on your video. thank you very much. I am a Ph.D. student and I spend most of my time reading pdfs and other sorts of documents as well as making notes and highlights. So, i have ordered an ipad air 4 and the pen2.
thank you janice
I just came across your channel and I think it is the best thing that has happened to me today
I agree with you, I have the iPad mini 5 and mostly use it as a complementary device because it's too small. I like doing more heavy stuff on my laptop due to a bigger screen. I'd say it's awesome to take it with you to school and if you move around a lot. It's still an awesome device, but if you want something to replace a computer get the Pro or the Air if you're more on a budget.
I wanted to get a mini to replace having like a “pocket” note book and for nerdy things like D&D, Warmachine/Hordes, and Magic the Gathering, but over $500 is a lot to fork over for a device with those use cases.
Thank you, this really helped to make my decision.
i was waiting for this 😭 thank you!!
I agree what you were saying here, the iPad mini is great for studying using the flascards method or you a type that always ‘on-the go’ student! But if you using the iPad for notetaking, it’s probably okay for some ppl but not for big hands especially ;)
I love my mini6! It’s the perfect companion to my iPad Air
Wouldn’t trade in my 12,9” screen anymore! So comfortable on the eyes 👀
Thank you for the review, Janice! I've been looking for an honest review on notetaking in the iPad mini and you answered all of my questions, thank you! So yeah, I would like a normal iPad or an iPad Air... now all I need is money to buy it hahah
Anyways, hope you have a good week!
Perfeito vídeo, não somente mostrando os detalhes, mas também fazendo a comparação, reações reais e opiniões sinceras, obrigada.
For the mini honestly, it's better to use it with a keyboard, you basically can maneuver everything from that and it's more comfortable than trying to write. Almost using it like a mini laptop but not fully. Mini 6 looks nice but still using and doing all of that with the mini 4.
I had debated getting the ipad mini when looking to upgrade from my older ipad pro because i thought the small size portability could be amazing, but i rely so heavily on the split screen feature for note taking (textbook/slides and handwritten notes) that i couldnt sacrifice the screen space :/ if i wasnt still in school though i probably wouldve gotten it.
I really love to take notes from an ipad but, It's like a dream to me to have an ipad. 🥺
Love the way you are using it.❤️
I got the mini since I also have a macbook air and I think its a perfect addition! Something small but powerful. I was thinking about the air but when you have a laptop as well I dont think its very necessary to have a bigger device. Obviously why I didn't go with the pro! I use the mini for all school notes
hi! just wanna know do you use the mini for hardcore note taking or just annotating pdf/slides?
Can you do a detailed size comparison between the 11 inch and 12.9 inch? Like holding it around and walking. App size comparisons? I’m a student with Christmas coming up and definitely don’t want to mess up.
Thank you so much for this video!!!!
That’s why u put a case on to prevent the sliding
Love your videos!!
OMG . Hi janice.. If I don't have an ipad, I enjoying your new video. Lysm..🥰❤️
Its very helpful for as students , but I haven't have a ipad ever in my entire life , So for students do have ipad , treat it well , because you guys are so lucky ❤️❤️
I have been waiting for this, so u could help us explain the mini
I love my iPad Air 4th generation. It’s perfect
Cant wait for the Apps Video next week☺
Ive been using ipad mini 5 for a year now and i love every single bit of it. Note taking isn't that bad, im sure itll be better if I have the mini 6, wouldnt trade that portability over oversized ipads lol
Thank for the video, which app are you using for note taking? Merci!
Hey Janice! Plz make a comparison between Ipad pro 12.9 vs ipad pro 11 inch for students.
Selling my 12.9 Pro and buying the mini. 12.9 is huge, heavy and uncomfortable for a tablet. I'd now argue even 11 is too big if you want to mainly hold it and carry it around or travel with it for multimedia or digital planning. I'd now only suggest 11 or 12.9 if you need a pencil compatible device and a laptop substitute with an attached keyboard in one. Or if you use it more stationary like a second display or need more space for drawing less portably. As a portable device though? I absolutely regret buying it. Don't make my mistake, in most cases if you have a laptop don't go for 12.9
I really wanna upgrade to this from my iPad mini 4. My current iPad mini just runs slow now but it’s not awful
I love the ipad mini, it's perfect, but the size is the only problem here for school!
I agree! It’s a great device but the other ones are more fitting for students :)
It's called "mini" for a reason lol
Hi! I have a quick question. Do you need cellular if you just wanna use the iPad for note taking?
I love your voice tone when speaking English. ^^
I think the sole purpose of the iPad mini was for Apple to compete with eReaders like the kindle and Nook. So with people who usually purchase the mini, like myself, I actually have the exact same one in the vid and am typing this comment on it, that’s what it’s good for. I occasionally,y use it to watch videos, check social media, but I mainly read and use GN as a journal for my PTSD symptoms. I had the iPad Air 4 and HATED the size. I also hated how hot it got. Definitely a mini user for life. This on being my 3rd one.
Hi Janice! Awesome video… can you please share the for the Apple Pencil sleeve
For my next upgrade I’m thinking of going for air or mini. Due to portability
I love your videos ❤️
Hey, I really like the typeface you choose in the beginning for the text „iPad Mini 6“. Would you be able to tell me what typeface (font) that is?
At the university I seen a girl who used this ipad with a very small physical keyboard for taking notes. I found it really cute 😍
Also Janice did you know you can change the size of the font in the settings
I got the ipad air 4 for school and got rid of my 12.9 inch pro since its too big...
However, I still think that the mini is handy so I really hope I can get it as a birthday gift or something
Great video!! I have the iPad Pro & mini and use them both for school.
A quick question if you or anyone can please answer, how did you get the Apple calendar to display the month at a view and the list of your activities? That widget style isn’t an option for me :(
Which OS are you on? You should be able to hold down on the three dots on the bottom or just on an app. Then there’s a "+" button at the top left corner that should let you add the calendar widget. Make sure you also have the calendar app on it.
Not to be dramatic but the camera is better than my eyes and your voice is so calmmmm
Excellent review
I also don’t like watching videos on my phone, but my laptop is too clunky so I am using an extremely old iPad. Thank you for this video
I love your videos, btw how many ipads do you have?
Hey Janice,
Pls do a review on Ipad 9th generation for STUDENTS
I got the mini for school as well an it’s not bad an I don’t have to lug around a big 11 inch iPad it’s to big and I really like to pack light I have most my books on it an I have no prob seeing words I mean a novel is even small so this is actually a plus
I've been wanting to buy the ipad air mini mainly for entertainment! for gaming and watching videos. I already have the iPad Air 4 and I want to leave the air 4 solely for student-based tasks. Note taking, reading, etc.
How much gb do i need if i wanna try procreate and goodnotes, watch movies and play some games?
I'm not sure which iPad I want I have an old iPad air gen 2 which still works but it's on its last leg. I mean I would love a pro or air but I already got a huge gift this year aka my mac book air which I got extra upgrades. With the mini I'll probably enjoy reading much more with it and much easier to travel with but the iPad would be better for school and my casual drawing. So idk I'll figure it.
Not a student anymore but I just got the Mini with 5G version, hope it will be useful during clinical rounds. Love the size, best ipad size IMHO!
im thinking about getting one for the same reason. How do you find it after 3days?
@@mibaja2364 It's the best tablet for clinician, as for the size, truly portable and comfortable to hold by 1 hand (compares to my 11" iPad pro). Taking quick notes with the apple pencil is great, also, though it's should be used mainly for scratching and jotting lines, the screen is a tad too small for serious notes.
If you're worrying about jelly scrolling, it's definitely there, but not anything major. Reading articles and Uptodate and such apps is perfectly fine.
About the storage or 5G, I think having the cellular makes more sense (since in my country the Hospital don't have that good Wfi coverage and the speed is terrible anyway). I find 64gb usable, but your usage may vary.
What iPad should I get for use as a "laptop", I seem to like the portability, you can also recommend me tablets not just from apple that are nice, and efficient. Im looking for something on daily use that I can rely on but I don't know what to get. I see the iPad mini 6 is a nice device, but I don't know how I would feel getting my work done on that small screen.
Janice, would you like to make a video about your real equipment to study???
Thank you so much for the honest review. I have the same thought as well. Like why would people go for ipad mini, isn't too small for note taking, etc. This is a great insight! Thank you so much
hey, can u do a similar video for the ipad 9 please? i have been debating getting one
Can you make a student perspective video on Ipad 9 too
I would say that for most of the students the new iPad mini 6 would maximum Replace a Kindle and not more than that. so it is a great device for a casual note taker.
I love this mini. But I will be buying a 12.9 if I decide to begin a masters degree. I use my mini for reading and content consumption.
I really love my iPad mini 6 but after a view months I regret it because of the screen, and the scrolling, and the background keyboard is so big. Everything you said is so true. 😩 I wish I could give it back to apple and get the iPad Air. 😞
I just bought myself the samsung tab s7 fe and I'm really happy with it. I was wondering whether I should buy the samsung or the ipad mini. In the end I choose the samsung and I don't regret it at all, but the ipad looks like a great option too!😁
same
The iPad mini is brilliant thank you the bigger iPads are more expensive the iPad is perfect x
I’m getting the iPad mini 6 as a backup
Hi! I just watched an ad before this video and the model’s name is also Janice with a similar voice to you. We’re you in a First-Aid Beauty Ad?
I’m debating whether i should buy the iPad now in highschool or wait til I go to college next year.
U should use the iPad mini for on the go note taking.
may i ask what font did you use on the "iPad Mini 6"?
I got the iPad 6 gen and its really great (reccomend)
i use ipad air 4 and i think its the perfect sizeee!
What is the app u use for taking notes?
Outta budget, I can't even afford 2$ :')
I’m going into seventh grade next year and I had a laptop but it broke I have a really good gaming pc but i need something portable should I get it for school
Anoyone knows what the app is called for flashcards? I am searching an alternative for Anki.. (and also a free one)
Next year I will be in 6th grade so I am looking for an iPad that is small and lightweight , and this iPad was very handy for me, and I think I will get that iPad mini 6:)
Where did you get that pen from
Actually I go in the mini 6th gen. Because it's portability. It is fitted in my sling bag and pocket also.. And my next target will be the air 5 M1 chip for my work arounds as Teacher and other businesses stuffs ☺️.
Hi I’m a student in college and I have an M2 MacBook Air and AirPods Pro 2 but I’m considering getting either an iPad mini and a pencil or selling my AirPods and getting AirPods Max which do you think I should do?
Would you recommend this to a kid in 8th grade for taking small notes and doing project like Google docs ,slide etc?
Yes
I’m originally thinking of getting the iPad mini 6 since I’ve been using an iPad as a phone but I’m getting an iPhone this week so I’ve been thinking of getting rid of the iPad i have now since its very old laggy and glitchy and get an iPad mini instead for Christmas since i like iPads in general and since I’ll be using my phone a lot i could use the iPad mini for watching my youtube videos tv shows kdramas and more and textbooks and for school i would use my phone and the iPad mini for different things plus I’d rather watch my tv shows programs on a bigger screen not on a little iPhone at first i dislike the iPad mini because at the time i liked bigger iPads like the iPad pro and air but now that ill be getting a phone the iPad mini looks very amazing i mean even though its size and all that its so useful for carrying around and more space unlike the other iPads that are big which take up space and are hard and more risky to carry around thank you for this video!,
ITS SO CUTEEEE
pls recommend some study apps for ipad mini 1
Touch screen laptops exist guys!!! Some are 300-1000 euros as well. And will be cheaper when bought second hand.
I have the ipad pro 12.9 inch 2020 and i am in love with it ! I can do literally EVERYTHING i right notes i draw i watch youtube video i play games ! But i really like and the ipad mini ! Its so cute small and you can take it everywhere , which is something that is hard to do with the ipad pro 12.9 inch bc its a size of a laptop 😂
This is why I've asked for a Mini 6 for Xmas. I've found I don't take my 12.9 out on the bus or train, or in cafe, and leave it at home all the time. So I'm missing out on reading time.
