Got the mini 6 and have not looked back since. Minimalistic and great for some gaming and media consumption. Don't really need the other bells and whistle for my main use and for real work I fire up my laptop.

[AntonCipri]

Excellent overview. I've watched MANY other comparisons between these two devices. Your insights helped me choose the Mini for my purposes. Thank you.

[hotmessray]

i think youve made the decision for me. the mini it is. im so excited this will be my first ipad.

[MatthewVlossak]

I LOVE my Mini 6! I take it everywhere with me. Haven’t had any jelly scrolling (or maybe I don’t notice). The portability is why I chose it. Bigger than my phone (12 Mini), but smaller than my M1 MacBook Air. Such a fun device…esp to hold on bed.

[antinovel]

🍑! I watched this video already owning an iPad Air 5 but am considering 'downgrading' to the Mini 6 after observing how I use it more in the next few months. The portability is the most appealing factor for me!

[jmoubre]

Mini~ the portability is huge. I feel like when I was using the air 5th gen it was super visible like here’s my tv or cutting board. Not as easy to hold as the mini. The mini is also easier for reading and especially on the go. Easier to just pop out and jot down a few notes or look something up that is harder to see on my phone. 🍑 I opted for the 256 GB mini 6 with cellular.

[mariannegeorge]

It's iPad Mini 6 for me because I already have an iPad Pro and wanted something I could use to watch and read. Thanks for the video.

[writerlywitterings]

Thanks for that, Rjey. I've spent the day mulling over which would be best for me, and thanks to your video I think I'm coming down in favour of the Air. I think it makes marginally more sense to go for power rather than pocketability!

[robertf]

Nice review man. My choice is being complicated by the fact the M1 Air is now on sale for $499, same price as the Mini 😅... I am still leaning toward the Mini but would wait for it to drop to $399 hopefully. With both at $499, the "value" like you mentioned for the Air is definitely in my mind. The M1 chip is very tempting and "futureproof"... but the size may just be too much for me.

[maileooo]

Great comparison! I have the MB Air so I decided to buy the iPad Mini 6 because is more mobility and I can take this everywhere! I'm a photographer and traveler so I like bigger screen but not this time :)

[georgedavall]

It is a tough decision. I think you’ve covered everything well. I might add you omitted the fact the rear camera on the Mini has a ‘flash, ’ whereas the Air 5 does not. Excellent and thorough comparison and review Sir!

[warrengaskin]

I have the iPad mini 6 for on the go and the 12.9 M1 Pro for home use. Of course they would both go with me for out of town stays

[annejones]

Great overview. I just updated to a new mini and it’s fantastic. I’m planning getting an Air too for a bit.more screen space. However the portability of the new mini is just incredible.

[arismous]

Hello I want I pad for home. I want for browsing for solo movies and for some word and for notes. I have already iPhone 13 Pro and one window laptop for working use. What iPad do you prefer

[arsalanjamil]

hope so you are going well ..which ipad should i buy between there twe for gaming ..can you please suggest i am stuck between these two ..

[claudinereynolds]

Considering the Air vs. Mini for a more "mobile" device + thinking to add work email because my full size laptop (work issued) is so heavy and cumbersome. Suggestions? Typing seems easier on the Air...Not much heavier too...processor is a factor as well?

[nicolez]

I am stuck between these, Which Ipad should I go for as a Student? Since I will be typing notes should I go for the Ipad Air 5? There is a 130 euro difference

[Evaxlg]

I really can't decide!!! i'm a teacher, I intend to use iPad as my whiteboard, and project my screen on the projector screen. I walk around in the classroom with iPad for the whole session. and i sometimes do pass iPad to the students to do some exercise as well.
Should i buy the slightly heavier ipad air 5 or mini 6?? i need help. or i will just do coin toss.

[flawlessbeautythefashiondesign]

Should I get iPad mini 6 or iPad Air 5 for YouTube channel and Instagram lives and zoom/meeting. Calls ???
