It's a perfect smartphone replacement in a professional setting for me (like meetings, for example). I can always take notes, reply to chats, browse, and whatever without looking like you're browsing Tiktok or casually chatting on your phone. You can also lowkey open it up on the table while having a casual coffee meeting. It's so small it doesn't look too serious or formal.

And it's so light that you can actually watch stuff while lying down. I spent 7+ hours sitting at an office desk, I don't want to spend the rest of my day at another.

After two years of debating, I just got one last week and I love it. I can’t put it down. I had an iPad Pro 11 inch and prefer this wayyy more.

I had an iPad mini 2 for 8 years before I broke it and it was a great device for its time. It really captures the essence of what the iPad was initially designed for; the iPad wasn’t supposed to be a laptop replacement, it was supposed to be a fun middle ground between a phone and iPad designed for fun, since phones were too small to game with and MacBooks have been designed with productivity in mind over gaming. The iPad mini is truly the best iPad for doing iPad things rather than doing laptop things

I got my first mini in 2014 I believe. I have upgraded it twice and currently have the latest version. It is the absolute best device . It’s bigger than a phone and great for streaming and videos, but it’s small enough to fit in my jacket pocket. It’s the perfect sweet spot. Super easy to use when sitting or lying down and not heavy at all. I wish it were around for the first 40 years of my life!

My old iPad mini died last week (after 9 years) so bought new Mini on Sunday. It is a brilliant piece of HW 👍

I've had the Mini 6 since it released and it has been my go to portable device for content consumption and light game playing. I don't care at all about jelly scroll, it's never been an issue (I don't even notice it). Excellent performance and construction.

The Mini 6 is my favorite iPad, I also own the 12.9 M1 but the Mini gets far more usage, it goes with me whenever I get into my car. My 12.9 has only been out the house once during the entire year and a half that I’ve owned it. I’ve seen the Mini on sale for 400$ a couple times, I think that’s a good price for this device even this late in the game

I would absolutely buy a Pro mini!!!! It would be fabulous, and I hope Apple realizes there is a big market out there for that!! Thanks for a great video!!

I sold my regular iPad 7th gen so I could buy the Mini 6 and it was the best decision I've made. It's perfect for consuming media (esp. because I have the iPhone 13 mini which is def not great for that) and the note-taking functionality is amazing. There are so many use cases in my daily life that I'm genuinely not even concerned about the future generation iPads unless I do something stupid and break mine. As a typically Android user, I am still surprised by how much I enjoy using my iPad and having the small iPhone. Highly recommend!

I have the Mini 6 with 256gb. Honestly the jelly scroll is not a problem. Watching 4K video is a delight.
For sure the battery life could be a little bit longer, but get the right hub, you can plug in a power pack and external storage at the same time and Bluetooth a mouse and keyboard.
This is my auxiliary machine. For productivity, it is worth buying Polaris Office.

My iPad mini 7 wish list:
FaceID is a must have upgrade
OLED with pro-motion
Thinner bezels and slightly smaller width body
Ultra wide lens (.5)
Better battery life

I on my 2nd iPad mini. I gave my 1st one to Mum as it’s so good and got myself a new one. I’m an illustrator and used the M2 iPad Pro as my main device but the mini is a backup and is still great to use with procreate. It’s a fantastic little iPad - I’m pretty sure they will raise the price with the next one and this one is more than good enough. Just my opinion.👍

This machine is superb. My daily-to-go device from taking notes during meeting, replying email, studying and watching movie at night. Im happy with it. Battery life is excellent. No lag during multitask thanks to chipset A15 bionic. If they released ipad mini 7 with 120hz refresh rate, i would definitely buy it.

The iPad Mini has actually been around since 2012. Got my first gen in 2013 and still have it. Currently use a mini 5. My favorite form factor.

[CodeXana]

I constantly feel like I went overboard getting the Mini when I already have the 5th gen Air… BUT, I swear I love having them both so much for different uses and scenarios.

Nixed my iPhone 8 years ago for an iPad mini and haven’t looked back. I do everything on my mini. I live in Tokyo and it is a great size on the train. Through Skype I have a US number and a Japanese number. It fits perfectly in my shoulder bag and I listen and make calls wirelessly. I went to upgrade my mini today but here in Tokyo I can’t get my hands on a cellular version with my carrier. I was told a new mini is coming out in December so I will wait for the next mini 7. I have had this mini for almost 7 years!… and it is still great. I will never own another iPhone again. Arigato!

My wife had a mini 5 for two years. She uses it every day for surfing the web, emailing, texting and reading books.

We just got her a 6. When she found out the pencil works with it, she wanted that too. She loves the size. My son had the 9 inch iPad (regular) and I have a 12.9 inch. We’ve always had a 9 inch and she rarely ever used it. The mini size factor made 100% of the difference. Since the 7 is likely next year, we decided to get the 6 now.

She’s very happy with the upgrade.

Just picked up the mini this week. Still trying to get used to it. Very light and great to carry around the house but unhappy it doesn't have stage manager.

As an Apple fan, i've been weighing on getting the next Ipad Mini. Just bought the Samsung S9 tablet instead. Everything i need. Good form factor. Fits into my Slingbag for casual everyday carry. Comes with S pen and nice slim keyboard. fantastic pen placement so you wont lose it easily. Pen writes better than Apple pencil without having to buy paperlike screen protector. Glorious screen - OLED . Everything we wished the next Ipad Mini to be. I reckon Ipad Mini 7 will likely fall short. The S9 has got good accessories I would eventually get eg privacy screen

[BigPlanker]

Yeah, it's awesome. I bought it to compliment my iPad Pro when the mini came out. Been an absolute gem.
