☕ WAS THIS VIDEO HELPFUL? BUY ME A COFFEE!! www.buymeacoffee.com/techgeartalk ⭐ Buy the iPad Mini 6: geni.us/Ki2ywa (affiliate) ⭐ Buy the iPad 9: geni.us/2MPBQ (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the iPad Mini 6 and the iPad 9 was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
Yes it was very helpful video👍 I went ahead and ordered the iPad9 since im on a budget but I did max out the storage to 256 also I still get excited about the 3 mm headphone jack and about the new camera with center stage! I’m enjoying my new IPad especially the bigger screen , even tho it’s a little hard to hold without a case waiting on that ….great videos keep up the good work
I got my iPad 9 yesterday and I’m in love. This is my first iPad ever and I went back and forth of what iPad to get and I ultimately decided on the 9. I’m glad I did because it’s perfect for my use cases and the more expensive ones were overkill for me. The mini was just too small for what I wanted out of a tablet.
The mini is basically so you can use the second gen pencil on the go as an compliment to your job, eg pilot, engineer? Etc, also extremely portable so more of a companion all day where as other ipads will be used at home or on a stand.
Ipad mini is definitely for portability. I need to bring my work everywhere and the size of the ipad mini fits my purse. I can’t go back to the regular sized iPad,; I have my mac air to do the rest of my office reqmts.
I love my iPad 9. It does whatever I need for it to do & it's a great productivity device. Plus, my Logitech Combo Touch keyboard I used with my iPad Air 3 works just fine with it.
To be honest, my iPad 9th gen is probably the best thing I ever purchased period and it’s also my first ever Apple device. For those that want to test drive Apple’s software capabilities and wanted to switch to Apple, this is the best bang for your buck right there.

I went with the iPad mini 6 because I loved the small and powerful form factor. My first iPad that I am upgrading from was an iPad 4th gen which over the years it had been getting a lot slower and less usable but still works. I think it will be a really nice upgrade for watching movies or reading books, taking notes and drawing etc.
@@idkyiexist3534 what!! She said iPad 4th gen and also even if she was, iPhone X isn’t n bad lol it’s only a few years old and most people don’t upgrade for every new iPhone or ipad

Buy it nice, or buy it twice. Man I love your reviews. Chock full of the details I need. Truth be told, I will get the mini first and yet will eventually end up with the other one too as I upgrade several iPads.
Great video, really enjoyed the clear, concise, explanations of the differences, a nonpartisan approach, and a great summarisation at the end. Wish there were more channels as honest, straight, and gimmick-free as yours. Thank you.
I picked up the Mini 6 to use with a DJI Mini 2 as the controller display, I’ve been using it for way way more than that though. Love the size and the portability. Fits in a coat pocket. I have an M1 11” Pro, and use that for most things, but now I’ve got a little one to do other things on while I’m watching CZcams.
I also am looking at the Mini 6 to use with my Mavic 2 instead of my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I use my IPad Pro with my Phantom 4 and while the tablet extender I have for the Mini 2 will fit the full size iPad, it’s just too big for the controller.
Nice vieo, thanks After nearly 3 years with the iPad Pro 10.5 from 2017 I switched last year to the ipad mini 5, but only to realize after a few weeks, that the 7.9 screen was quiet to small. Checking the new mini 6 at a local dealer, I decided to get it. And I'm very happy. it's amazing what an extra 0.4 inch of display can do...Love it...
I went Mini. Never thought it would end up being my fav iPad ever. and I tried ALL of them from the 12.9" New Pro all the way down to the mini. and I LOVE it.
@@pratyulmusic small screens are, by default, less useful for video editing, drawing, etc. But this is a pinch to zoom era and the mini is plenty big enough to do what you're talking about- it just may take you a little longer

I want to take notes in conjunction with my computer and will probably be doing heavy note taking. Do you think the mini would be worth it as opposed to the ipad 9?
I keep jumping between these two and ipad air.... and I've been leaning towards the air.... plan on getting the pencil, drawing a lot, maybe gaming, and a lot of watching movies. I also want something I can take a picture with and draw over it sketching out ideas to express my creativity better at work for sharing ideas.
Upgrading from an iPad Mini 4 64GB to the iPad Mini 6 256GB and getting a $140 trade-in value on the 4? Yep, I did the upgrade. It's worth it in my book. Plus the Mini fits perfectly in the top of my lunch box.
Got to tell you - be careful with those laminated screens. As nice as they are - I have had TWO of my iPads that had that feature eventually develop one - or more - bright white spots on the display -that does not come off. Not sure how common it us but if you research online - or even look at iPads on eBay - you will see this is more common than we probably thought! I went with the iPad 9 with that old classic display- sure the design is a little boring I guess - but none of my previous iPads with that design had any display issues at all!
I had a mini 4 for many years. I recently replaced it with the iPad 9. One thing I had trouble with the mini was reading graphic novels on iBooks. I decided to get the larger screen (for $170 less). I really don’t use the pencil so bigger screen and less $$ sold it for me. And I’ve totally enjoyed the 9 for weeks now.
@@saurabhmuneshwar I found it better for all reading. Standard books were fine. The big improvement was with graphic novels like Watchmen or Kingdom Come. The larger page provides a better view of the artwork.
I’ve been watching your videos on a daily basis! Waiting for the 2022 iPad Air but I’m planning to get my mom an iPad 9 or iPad Mini and this video is really helpful.
If I want it only for reading and pdf annotation with goodnotes, which one to choose ? Are the pincels the same when it comes to writing and highlighting ?
Bought the iPad 9 yesterday, one thing interesting for gamers: it didn't dim the brightness while playing PubG Mobile (without connected charger). On my Air 3, the 6th gen iPad and my iPhone 12 it always dimmed after a while due to iOS heat management. Haven't tried it while charging yet.
Love your videos. I haven’t bought an iPad in years. I have an iPad mini 4 which I still use but vertical lines have started to appear on the screen so now I want to buy a new iPad. Apart from being on a tight budget, I also think I’d like to try a bigger display. Do you think I’d find the display on the IPad 9 just as good as the iPad mini 4 or better? Thanks.
I got the mini and love it. In my opinion, this is the ideal size a tablet should be. Like a notepad or paperback book, it’s my primary device for pretty much everything like note taking, sketching, watching movies, gaming and reading books. I use my 11 iPad Pro as a laptop now with the Smart Keyboard for work. My phone is only used for when I leave the house and for taking pics now.
@@tanvi5378 it's absolutely fantastic for note taking and reading . U know how.. cuz it's not very big and is a bit bigger than a kindle tablet. Mini is kinda smaller for using Ms excel and display could feel smaller for using editing video editing software's etc .
@@yarensencift5436 of course. This is What the IPad excels At . Taking notes and reading books on it .and if you're going to watch Netflix on it. It's more portable and handy than a laptop . U know laying back on the couch watching videos.
I had a kindle reader back when the iPad first came out, and I bought the iPad immediately, but when the mini finally came out I bought it and never went back. I’ve looked at the larger iPads again and again, and they just don’t offer enough to make me switch
One issue I had which led me to finally sell my Mini 6 is that so many applications do not allow text size to increase. While surfing for news, etc, the tiny text size was just too small to read without straining.
Did you find that the tablet brightness was unusually low? My iPad mini 6 brightness feels very low. I’m not sure how to test nits. Maybe I’m just used to iPhone 13 800 nits. But I compared it to the cheapest iPad and they’re supposed to have same 500 nits but it still looks less bright (despite tweaking the display settings). Wanted to see your impressions before I called apple care.
Watching this on my ipad mini 6! Got an ipad last 2017 but the mini fits for me, the size is just enough for me, i find the bigger ipad to be too bulky for my edc. Im inlove with this!
I bought an iPad Mini Celular- 8 years ago. I did not like it for browsing - I use my 14" laptop for that. I use my Mini almost exclusively when I travel for the following: #1- as a GPS unit in the car - the best GPS ever! As your pilot viewers pointed out. #2 - as a Sidecar or mirror screen to view video a/w my laptop on the road #3 - & as an eReader Overall these years that is about all I have used the mini for (I don't game) I will likely buy the new Mini 6 as my old one is on its last leg.
Just got the iPad 6 mini and I love it. It's the 64G/5G model (that was the only one available from a store near by me). Let me start with the only disappointment and thing I don't like, the fingerprint ID power button. I guess I did not do my research and just assumed this had Face ID like my iPhone and iPad Pro. It just seems a bit more cumbersome to unlock than my previous mini with the home button (I realize there's no room for a home button here). With that out of the way, everything else is gold. I don't need the extra storage of the 256G model. I use this iPad when I go places where I'll have time to websurf, read etc. I also love it for note taking. The vastly improved Apple Notes app has gotten me to give up 1Note and I'm now in the process of trying to figure out how to transition all my notes to Apple notes (hint: it ain't easy). I already had an Apple Pencil II for my pro, so I can just move it from tablet to tablet as needed. I keep it in a Fintle case I got off Amazon for $15 (it looks like an old Composition Notebook). The case has a nice place for the pencil up against the charging side. It also lets the iPad sit flat on a surface to write on so you're not flopping around on that giant camera bulge. I'm sure I could have lived without the 5G cellular but as mentioned in the video the WiFi only model does not have GPS and I really like clamping this iPad in my Jeep. It's a much better navigation aid than the built in 8" display (which does use CarPlay). Other than the fingerprint ID issue, this iPad is perfect for me. We just ordered the iPad 9 for my daughter for school use. Right now she's using my old Mini 5 and I'd be very surprised if she decides to keep the 9. I think the size of this one is much better.
The mini is something you have to realize you need. It’s the same feeling you’ll get when choosing between an iPad Pro 11 and a 12.9. Most people will go for the 11 and then realize they need a 12.9 1 year later. Honestly my mini is slowly but surely replacing my 11 pro 😞 I’m neglecting it because the mini fits in my pocket 😂
Do you think the ipad mini could work as a "graphic tablet" to edit with Sidecar on Photoshop and Lightroom? Would you recommend 64gb or 256gb, if I plan to use it mainly with Sidecar? Thanks for all your help! Your videos have been so useful!
I've owned all the mini range so far (except 3) and I just love their portability. I have two laptops of different sizes, so my iPad is just for media consumption and not productivity. If I did need an iPad for productivity, I would be looking at other larger options for sure. I love that I can pack my mini into my laptop/travel bag and not even notice the weight. The size is perfect for gaming too as it doesn't become cumbersome to hold after extended use. My mini 5 which was extremely well looked after just had an LCD failure (power adapter went a few months ago too). It's over €200 to fix it, so I decided just to buy the next gen mini instead. Hope the new one lasts a bit longer!
Hey man, I trying to raise some money to get the iPhone 13 mini because my phone is damaged and need a new phone asap to do my work, is there any service I can help you with like logo design, origami teaching and anything else?
Have u had mini 4? I’m not sure if I want the mini 4 or 9th generation…. Do u think the mini will be supported by apple longer or will it ‘’die out’’ soon?
@@ida-mariekaldbekken5929 Yep, I had the mini 4 but it is a couple of generations old now. It is still supported and can run the latest system software (OS 15), but I would be looking at the 9th gen if you are not bothered by the screen size.
Does anyone know if it's true that you can't use an external SSD or a powered hub on an ipad 9 because it's Lightning instead of USB-c? I've heard the SSD won't work even with a lightning to usb converter... At the moment this is the only thing holding me back from the 9...
It does support external ssd. The problem is, that if your ssd needs too much watt that it won't work. You can watch on this yt channel the video for ipad 8 and ssd compatibility. I assume that there won't be too big differences :)
Yes, Eric, it will work with a powered USB hub. The Lightning port by itself cannot otherwise put out enough power (a high enough current) to power certain external drives.
Between this 2. Which one will support long software/ accessories update and can be use more than 5 years? Since planing for bank financial for 5years.
@@PhobicGamingGroup I don't think that has a headphone jack? And also for the stuff that I use it for, I don't think I'd need something that much more expensive haha but the air 4 is sure a beauty!

Hi I have budget for only ipad 9 64 gb right now as I plan to purchase macbook air by 2023 1. Will 64 gb be enough for me , I do video edits and music softwares , How soon do you think I will have to transfer the files to external SSD 2. Can it replace laptop ? Are lumfusion and GarageBand kind of apps good enough ? Right now I have an macmini based system and need something mobile
I want to use my ipad to write/,,draw" (with apple pencil substitute) notes, study, and play genshin impact. As a student im a bit tight on budget and not sure if i should pick ipad 9 or save up so more for the newest Air, what would u say?
Another great video! Im still torn what to purchase as I want to be really mobile. I am out of town most of the time and work remotely. I want the iPad 9 because of the bigger screen but I also want the mini so I can use it as an iPad sometimes when I am out and not working.
I have an iPad 7 and before that I had an air 2 for 4 years. Only upgraded because I had no room left. Honestly I use it for everything and that’s fine for me. Good review
@@StreetSmrtNtrmt same bro me too my first apple products no lagging good experience, security, value for money but camera is bad 😭 but overall I don't use camera very much that's why its best for me 👍😀❤️
I got my ipad 9th gen recently and.. i was gonna get the mini or the 9th gen. What made me choose the 9th gen is that the screen is bigger so its very helpful for students i def reccomend it
As a pilot i actually enjoy a bigger screen so I got the 9th gen. Not just for flying but for a macbook supplement (not replacement). Seeing the map and information on the same screen when you split it is so nice as a pilot and you can't really do that as well with the mini.
@@SirMopy cessna/archer. I thought it would too but it was fine on the yoke. Now I keep it on my lap and split screen it and have my iPhone suctioned to the window at eye level. The 2 together is perfect
I currently have an iPad 6th gen with cellular. I think I’ll want to get the iPad mini cellular. I like the smaller form factor and the 4gb of ram. It also has Bluetooth audio 5.0. I want to be able to pair multiple Bluetooth speakers for dual audio.
Hey dude...i am watching on my ipad 9 gen....its just awesome....one and only thing i would like to say...its just an killer tablet in this price range....just go for it.....manage every task easily and very snappy....ipad OS 15...but did you notice any frame drop in temple run g as game at staring. Please let me brother..
Thanks for the honest opinion! I've got an iPad 7 and even then it doesn't feel that much of an upgrade. Perhaps I'll hang on for the next update... PS. Could you share your where you got your nice wallpapers? Loving the one on your iPad at 0:22 ! Thanks!
Would the air still be worth it over the 9? I’m on the 7 and was thinking about upgrading to the better screen but dunno about the 500 sale price point or waiting till the Air 5 comes out
Another Pro-Video, thanks a lot. May I ask what exactly this green plastic-sheet You’re using to see where the speakers are is? And where can I get one of those?
@@TechGearTalk NO SWEAT, thank You very much for Your reply. I totally get that You can’t read and reply ALL Your comments. But I‘m grateful You‘ve answered my question 👍🏼
My iPad mini 6 has a weird issue when lightly pressing the screen. Things appear if I’m on a dark screen and press it. I noticed it when playing PUBG. Went to a blank dark screen Apple notes to test out the pencil and the spots appeared next to where I pressed. It lightly flashed
My reasons for getting an iPad 9 in 2023 does reveal my age a bit…being semi-retired I could afford the 256GB model, meaning I could finally copy over my complete iTunes music library, something I was unable to do on the 32/64GB iPhones I’ve been using in recent years (guess it also means I’m a bit of a cheapskate…). I also like having the option for wired audio, and I needed the packed in charger to use with my iPhone 12 Mini, which is still rocking a Lightning-port like the iPad…so there you go!
Ok this might be a weird question but can a iPad Mini replace an iPhone and it also does more than a iPhone so can it potentially replace a iPhone? (This is not an important question so umm no one has to answer to it but an answer would be appreciated plz 😐)
Still got headaches choosing my first ipad so pls help me😅. I want to use my ipad as my main device for studying, doing a little bit of office work (because my laptop is still pretty much reliable) and pretty good portability since my job require me to travel a few times every month. I wont try to replace my laptop with an ipad, so is the mini already perfect for my needs or ipad 9 would help me multitasking even more?

@@yarensencift5436 of course. This is What the IPad excels At . Taking notes and reading books on it .and if you're going to watch Netflix on it. It's more portable and handy than a laptop . U know laying back on the couch watching videos.
@@monurajput5608 i talked about for the iPad mini 6 but thanxxx
I was waiting for this comparison. Finally, thanks for doing it 😭
Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Yes thanks 🙏
I had a kindle reader back when the iPad first came out, and I bought the iPad immediately, but when the mini finally came out I bought it and never went back. I’ve looked at the larger iPads again and again, and they just don’t offer enough to make me switch
I was regretting of small size before but battery durability and everything speedy soothes me… happy with mini
One issue I had which led me to finally sell my Mini 6 is that so many applications do not allow text size to increase. While surfing for news, etc, the tiny text size was just too small to read without straining.
Thanks for adding the closed captions on your review! Very helpful for hearing impaired!!!
I’m so glad they are helpful!!! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Did you find that the tablet brightness was unusually low? My iPad mini 6 brightness feels very low. I’m not sure how to test nits. Maybe I’m just used to iPhone 13 800 nits. But I compared it to the cheapest iPad and they’re supposed to have same 500 nits but it still looks less bright (despite tweaking the display settings). Wanted to see your impressions before I called apple care.
Watching this on my ipad mini 6! Got an ipad last 2017 but the mini fits for me, the size is just enough for me, i find the bigger ipad to be too bulky for my edc. Im inlove with this!
I bought an iPad Mini Celular- 8 years ago. I did not like it for browsing - I use my 14" laptop for that.
I use my Mini almost exclusively when I travel for the following:
#1- as a GPS unit in the car - the best GPS ever! As your pilot viewers pointed out.
#2 - as a Sidecar or mirror screen to view video a/w my laptop on the road
#3 - & as an eReader
Overall these years that is about all I have used the mini for (I don't game)
I will likely buy the new Mini 6 as my old one is on its last leg.
Just got the iPad 6 mini and I love it. It's the 64G/5G model (that was the only one available from a store near by me). Let me start with the only disappointment and thing I don't like, the fingerprint ID power button. I guess I did not do my research and just assumed this had Face ID like my iPhone and iPad Pro. It just seems a bit more cumbersome to unlock than my previous mini with the home button (I realize there's no room for a home button here). With that out of the way, everything else is gold. I don't need the extra storage of the 256G model. I use this iPad when I go places where I'll have time to websurf, read etc. I also love it for note taking. The vastly improved Apple Notes app has gotten me to give up 1Note and I'm now in the process of trying to figure out how to transition all my notes to Apple notes (hint: it ain't easy). I already had an Apple Pencil II for my pro, so I can just move it from tablet to tablet as needed. I keep it in a Fintle case I got off Amazon for $15 (it looks like an old Composition Notebook). The case has a nice place for the pencil up against the charging side. It also lets the iPad sit flat on a surface to write on so you're not flopping around on that giant camera bulge. I'm sure I could have lived without the 5G cellular but as mentioned in the video the WiFi only model does not have GPS and I really like clamping this iPad in my Jeep. It's a much better navigation aid than the built in 8" display (which does use CarPlay). Other than the fingerprint ID issue, this iPad is perfect for me.
We just ordered the iPad 9 for my daughter for school use. Right now she's using my old Mini 5 and I'd be very surprised if she decides to keep the 9. I think the size of this one is much better.
The mini is something you have to realize you need. It’s the same feeling you’ll get when choosing between an iPad Pro 11 and a 12.9. Most people will go for the 11 and then realize they need a 12.9 1 year later. Honestly my mini is slowly but surely replacing my 11 pro 😞 I’m neglecting it because the mini fits in my pocket 😂
Upgraded to the mini 6 and pro 11 same week and can’t stop using the mini.
How does it fit in your pocket
Same iPad mini replaced my 12.9 I just realized I don’t need that much screen to draw
Well i sell my mac for later the New seventh gen ipad mini well its just more portable and powerfull! Hopefully and more comfortable
@@ChiaDai I think the difference is that, u can use iPad mini anywhere, but iPad pro, u will feel better using just on your desk.
Do you think the ipad mini could work as a "graphic tablet" to edit with Sidecar on Photoshop and Lightroom? Would you recommend 64gb or 256gb, if I plan to use it mainly with Sidecar? Thanks for all your help! Your videos have been so useful!
I've owned all the mini range so far (except 3) and I just love their portability. I have two laptops of different sizes, so my iPad is just for media consumption and not productivity. If I did need an iPad for productivity, I would be looking at other larger options for sure. I love that I can pack my mini into my laptop/travel bag and not even notice the weight. The size is perfect for gaming too as it doesn't become cumbersome to hold after extended use. My mini 5 which was extremely well looked after just had an LCD failure (power adapter went a few months ago too). It's over €200 to fix it, so I decided just to buy the next gen mini instead. Hope the new one lasts a bit longer!
Hey man, I trying to raise some money to get the iPhone 13 mini because my phone is damaged and need a new phone asap to do my work, is there any service I can help you with like logo design, origami teaching and anything else?
Have u had mini 4? I’m not sure if I want the mini 4 or 9th generation…. Do u think the mini will be supported by apple longer or will it ‘’die out’’ soon?
@@ida-mariekaldbekken5929 Yep, I had the mini 4 but it is a couple of generations old now. It is still supported and can run the latest system software (OS 15), but I would be looking at the 9th gen if you are not bothered by the screen size.
Thanks Segi for this great review.
Thank you Jay! (Sagi)
Been waiting for this!
This helps a lot...were considering of buying one.
Does anyone know if it's true that you can't use an external SSD or a powered hub on an ipad 9 because it's Lightning instead of USB-c? I've heard the SSD won't work even with a lightning to usb converter... At the moment this is the only thing holding me back from the 9...
It does support external ssd. The problem is, that if your ssd needs too much watt that it won't work. You can watch on this yt channel the video for ipad 8 and ssd compatibility. I assume that there won't be too big differences :)
@@MT-ry8gv my plan was using a powered USB hub, like people have been doing with the mini/air/pro, but idk if it works... WIll check out the video
Yes, Eric, it will work with a powered USB hub. The Lightning port by itself cannot otherwise put out enough power (a high enough current) to power certain external drives.
I'm just waiting for the moment when they are available in the online store... i´m so exited qwq
Your video is very well narated. Easy to make decision. Very appropriate and honest review.
Which one do you recommend for reading 2 column text pdfs in portrait mode?
Excellent video- thank you!
Thank you this has helped me so much
thank you so much. you really saved me when you said "buy nice or buy twice".
I have the iPad 9 but didn’t pick it myself, received this as a birthday gift and I’m very happy with it.
Between this 2. Which one will support long software/ accessories update and can be use more than 5 years? Since planing for bank financial for 5years.
As someone who is gonna get their first iPad for Procreate, CZcams and netflix, and wanting the headphone jack, I think the 9 will be perfect :))
Or the air 4
@@PhobicGamingGroup I don't think that has a headphone jack? And also for the stuff that I use it for, I don't think I'd need something that much more expensive haha but the air 4 is sure a beauty!
@@peonies- I got really lucky and found one in mint condition at a pawn shop for 350, then bought a second hand apple pencil 2 for 60, I'll say the girlfriend has been very pleased, I can't get her off the thing 😭😭
@@peonies- I really do hate that they're doing away with headphone jacks tho
@@PhobicGamingGroup you can get a usb-c to headphone Jack adapter for 6 bucks!
Thank you, I really appreciate your opinion, it really helps me.
I hope the z fold 3 vs ipad mini 6 will happen! It'll be amazing
I got ipad 9 as a student and love little bit drawing the size is perfect for me you can easily multitask here as it's bigger
Fantastic comprehensive analysis 👍🏼
Anyone know what racing game was playing on the Mini 6 and what stand/cover was being used prop up and display the mini 6? Thanks.
practical tips, planning for ipad mini... thank you :)
Love to watch your quality videos man you're awesome
Me too 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words. Appreciate you being part of the channel!
GREAT VIDEO THANKS ;)
Yay! Best comparison video I've seen yet! It's helped me settle on my purchase of the iPad 9th gen. I need more screen space over portability. Thanks!
So glad I could help. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Great review, but I don’t see the links to the keyboard for the iPad 9. Can you share thanks.
Hi I have budget for only ipad 9 64 gb right now as I plan to purchase macbook air by 2023
1. Will 64 gb be enough for me , I do video edits and music softwares
, How soon do you think I will have to transfer the files to external SSD
2. Can it replace laptop ? Are lumfusion and GarageBand kind of apps good enough ?
Right now I have an macmini based system and need something mobile
I want to use my ipad to write/,,draw" (with apple pencil substitute) notes, study, and play genshin impact. As a student im a bit tight on budget and not sure if i should pick ipad 9 or save up so more for the newest Air, what would u say?
Another great video! Im still torn what to purchase as I want to be really mobile. I am out of town most of the time and work remotely. I want the iPad 9 because of the bigger screen but I also want the mini so I can use it as an iPad sometimes when I am out and not working.
I have an iPad 7 and before that I had an air 2 for 4 years. Only upgraded because I had no room left. Honestly I use it for everything and that’s fine for me. Good review
I just received the iPad mini 6. But I wanted your opinion before I actually opened the box. Mine has LTE. Can you make a review about it ? Thanks.
Fast charging is supported on ipad 9 or mini 6? And capacity battery which is bigger between ipad 9 or mini 6? Thank you
I got the purple 256 GB one and it is safe to say it's the best tablet I've ever used.
Just got my iPad mini loving it!!
Thank you sooo much for this video, I now know which iPad to get😁😁
Glad I could help! Thank you for watching!
@@TechGearTalk No problem, I always watch your videos.😁😁
@koysor judging off price and performance the iPad 9th gen.
It’s not too expensive
@koysor the mini 6 is better but the 9th gen definitely up there, the chip set for it is the same as the iPhone 11 pro max.
Excellent review sir!!!
I Bought the iPad 9 64 gb (non cellular ) , it’s my first Apple product 😇
CONGRATS!!! Hope you're enjoying it!
@@TechGearTalk thanks 😊
@@StreetSmrtNtrmt same bro me too my first apple products no lagging good experience, security, value for money but camera is bad 😭 but overall I don't use camera very much that's why its best for me 👍😀❤️
@@Amoghgamer69 ✌️
Did you purchased it from apple online store India ?
I got my ipad 9th gen recently and.. i was gonna get the mini or the 9th gen. What made me choose the 9th gen is that the screen is bigger so its very helpful for students i def reccomend it
3:09 in your previous iPad 9 video you said that it has an sRGB display, now you say it has a P3 display...i am a little confused
Do the usb c ipads work with
hdmi to tv
ext hdd
or a usb hub (for say wired keyboards etc)?
As a pilot i actually enjoy a bigger screen so I got the 9th gen. Not just for flying but for a macbook supplement (not replacement). Seeing the map and information on the same screen when you split it is so nice as a pilot and you can't really do that as well with the mini.
weird that your bigger screen is not covering transponder or other instruments………. wanna know what type u flyin
@@SirMopy cessna/archer. I thought it would too but it was fine on the yoke. Now I keep it on my lap and split screen it and have my iPhone suctioned to the window at eye level. The 2 together is perfect
I currently have an iPad 6th gen with cellular. I think I’ll want to get the iPad mini cellular. I like the smaller form factor and the 4gb of ram. It also has Bluetooth audio 5.0. I want to be able to pair multiple Bluetooth speakers for dual audio.
Hey dude...i am watching on my ipad 9 gen....its just awesome....one and only thing i would like to say...its just an killer tablet in this price range....just go for it.....manage every task easily and very snappy....ipad OS 15...but did you notice any frame drop in temple run g as game at staring. Please let me brother..
I have a mini and I love it! It is small when I’m trying to use it for school work. I may get a bigger one and give my kid the mini down the road.
For PowerPoint and Microsoft which I could pick the iPad 9 or ipad mini pls help me to choose
I love that Twitter immediately opened up to a video of swaggersouls.
english is not my main language but i really understand well about how you described the ipads! thank you so much now i know which one to buy:)
I’m so glad the video was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Thanks for the honest opinion! I've got an iPad 7 and even then it doesn't feel that much of an upgrade. Perhaps I'll hang on for the next update... PS. Could you share your where you got your nice wallpapers? Loving the one on your iPad at 0:22 ! Thanks!
I appreciate you watching. That wallpaper at 00:22 is a MacOS wallapaper! Hope that helps.
Watching this on my all new IPad 9th!!!
I'd pay twice for mobility because I once owned ipad pro 12.9" which is too heavy to carry around, so I sold it and long wait until mini 6 is out.
Would the air still be worth it over the 9? I’m on the 7 and was thinking about upgrading to the better screen but dunno about the 500 sale price point or waiting till the Air 5 comes out
Tbh I think the air 4 is not a good value right now with the iPad 9 and new mini that just came out. I would definitely wait if you can
Sir, what is the green film you used at 2:03 to show the speaker placement on the iPad? It makes the metal see through? What is this voodoo???
Another Pro-Video, thanks a lot.
May I ask what exactly this green plastic-sheet You’re using to see where the speakers are is? And where can I get one of those?
I’m curious about that, too.
@@c0t0d0s7 Truth is, this is the 2nd time I‘ve asked this question. He didn’t respond the 1st. time, will he now???
Thanks Andrej! It's magnetic paper (sorry, I am not able to see every comment on every video - hope you understand).
@@TechGearTalk NO SWEAT, thank You very much for Your reply. I totally get that You can’t read and reply ALL Your comments.
But I‘m grateful You‘ve answered my question 👍🏼
@@TechGearTalk Thanks! 👍
My iPad mini 6 has a weird issue when lightly pressing the screen. Things appear if I’m on a dark screen and press it. I noticed it when playing PUBG. Went to a blank dark screen Apple notes to test out the pencil and the spots appeared next to where I pressed. It lightly flashed
I have the original iPad Air and I am looking to upgrade yet I still can’t decide
My reasons for getting an iPad 9 in 2023 does reveal my age a bit…being semi-retired I could afford the 256GB model, meaning I could finally copy over my complete iTunes music library, something I was unable to do on the 32/64GB iPhones I’ve been using in recent years (guess it also means I’m a bit of a cheapskate…). I also like having the option for wired audio, and I needed the packed in charger to use with my iPhone 12 Mini, which is still rocking a Lightning-port like the iPad…so there you go!
Thank you for your wonderful review. Keep up the great job. Regards & respect from Pakistan :-)
Ok this might be a weird question but can a iPad Mini replace an iPhone and it also does more than a iPhone so can it potentially replace a iPhone? (This is not an important question so umm no one has to answer to it but an answer would be appreciated plz 😐)
Still got headaches choosing my first ipad so pls help me😅. I want to use my ipad as my main device for studying, doing a little bit of office work (because my laptop is still pretty much reliable) and pretty good portability since my job require me to travel a few times every month. I wont try to replace my laptop with an ipad, so is the mini already perfect for my needs or ipad 9 would help me multitasking even more?
